Twotime Masters World Champion surfer Bear Woznick shares his pulse-pounding stories of ocean rescues, collapsing parachutes, and deadly encounters with sharks as a way to challenge you to go deeper with God and live a life of virtue.

Benjamin is a one-of-a-kind dive instructor. His passion for education, safety and exploration make him a student favorite. He has been diving since 2011 and teaching since 2016. He is a highly- experienced, well-rounded instructor. He spends a lot of his time working as a Recovery and Public Safety diver when he is not teaching SCUBA courses. He is a Navy Combat Veteran and has a deep devotion to duty for caring for his veterans.


Safety is the most important factor with us. above all else we focus on the qualitative approach and a progressive learning environment. To us they are not just fancy words or catch phrases. We work with children as young as 8 years old and up.


Here at Deep Adventures we offer something unique. Our services are personally catered to your needs and career goals. We focus on high quality training and less on sales and gimmicks. Our instructors combined have over 100 years worth of Instruction under their belt and even more years of real world experience. Our goal is to make you think hard about diving, and be creative when solving diving related problems.


However, All customers needs to Ring the Door Bell on the Side of the House or Call 706-244-6994. We are typically always open from Wed to Sunday 1000-2100, However, it is best to call in advance to ensure we are not out teaching classes or underwater diving.


Business hours change as we are in the water and travel often. Somedays we have classes from 8am and can still teaching late at night. We have even done Night classes for those who have had to due to their hours. We are as flexible as we can be. Please understand though, we get booked sometimes 3 to 6 months in advance. If you are seeking training you must plan for it ahead of time. Last minute training opportunities are rare.


I grew up by the sea and spent as much time as I could in the water. I think the ocean has always been deep in my bones. I truly believe that we all need our wild space. Somewhere that makes us feel closer to nature, conjures a sense of wonder and puts life into perspective. The sea has always been that space for me. One of our main goals with our Celtic Deep expeditions is to get more people in these waters so that they can actually see amazing marine creatures in their natural realm, and so raise awareness of the incredible wildlife that can be found right here in the UK. Despite spending most of my childhood in British waters, I learned little about the diversity that lay beneath the surface until later in my life.


One of the biggest challenges to ocean conservation is down to the barrier presented by the sea itself. It forms a cloak of mystery and fear that can disconnect us from our emotional reflex to protect and to manage nature. It leads to ambivalence and exploitation. Additionally, the water in the UK is cold and often not very clear, which can contribute to that sense of foreboding. Getting people through that barrier in the Celtic Sea, especially offshore where the water is clear and the animals awe-inspiring is so rewarding.


Salvation and anxiety lie below the surface, down an 11 millimeter rope into the dank, muddy darkness of a cave system where the earth has blistered for hundreds of feet and the temperature hovers just above freezing.


At its widest point this hatchet-shaped fissure is only about 4 feet wide and maybe 10 feet long. The walls are gray stone masses, littered with tiny cracks, streaked with water and leaning into one another for support like drunks stumbling out of a bar and into the rain. Chunky boulders and dirt mounds choke the floor. The whole room looks like it could come down any minute.


Over the last five years what started as a rough sketch of one fissure with two unexplored offshoots has now been expanded to a system, several times larger than previously understood. Last summer and part of the fall, the group undertook several multihour expeditions to chart the depths. Using a surveying laser and hand-sketching scale maps, the group measured a system about 1,350 feet long and 220 feet deep, with potentially more territory yet to be discovered.


Local cavers help the Forest Service install survey markers, and in popular caves, track graffiti and help clean it up, as well as remove the trash people leave behind. They also help survey local bat populations. Understanding the size and location of bat colonies is especially important right now. A fungal disease known as White Nose Syndrome is killing the animals by the thousands across the United States. It was found last year in Washington.


We enter in the same way we did in August and make a couple more short rappels to get to the longest pitch, a 130-foot drop into the void. First we must crawl into a rubble-strewn room barely large enough for us to move on hands and knees.


At our feet lie the bones of a small animal Goldscheider believes to be a marmot; so too is a tiny and very fragile-looking bat skull and a few bones.

Incredibly, Goldscheider also found a fresh rabbit carcass down here earlier this summer. Cavers say to take nothing but pictures while exploring, but, considering the upcoming survey work and the freshness of the body, Goldscheider made an exception and removed the rabbit from the cave before it decomposed.


The end goal of this blog is to demonstrate the magical UMR tool on Linux, which I would argue is the only reasonable post-mortem debugging method currently available on PC, but before we go that deep, we need to look at the current state of crash debugging on PC and the bespoke tooling we have in vkd3d-proton to deal with crashes.


Buffer markers is the simplest possible solution for implementing breadcrumbs. The basic idea is that a value is written to memory either before the GPU processes a command, or after work is done. On a device lost, counters can be inspected. The user will have to instrument the code somehow, either through a layer or directly. In vkd3d-proton, we can enable debug code which automatically does this for all D3D12 commands with VKD3D_CONFIG=breadcrumbs (not available in release builds).


From there, start looking for TOP_OF_PIPE and BOTTOM_OF_PIPE pipeline stages to get a potential range of commands. BOTTOM_OF_PIPE means we know for sure all commands before completed execution, and TOP_OF_PIPE means the command processor might have started executing all commands up to that point.


The main flaw with this extension is there is no easy way to narrow down the range of commands. With RADV we can enforce sync with syncshaders as a (very useful) hack, but there is no such method on NV unless we do it ourselves ?


Now this is the real deal. RADV can invoke UMR on crashes and dump out a bunch of useful information. The UMR tool is standalone and should work with AMDVLK or amdgpu-pro as well. Nothing stops you from invoking the same CLI commands that RADV does while the device is hung.


Currently, RADV only knows how to dump the GFX ring, so we need to ensure only that queue is used if crashes happen in async compute. In vkd3d-proton, we have VKD3D_CONFIG=single_queue for that purpose.


Sometimes RADV_DEBUG=hang masks bugs as well due to extra sync, but fortunately we got a wave dump eventually. The failure was in a scalar load from a raw pointer. Normally, this means an out-of-bounds root CBV descriptor access.


The descriptor index was computed as root table offset + dynamic offset. Studying the ISA I realized that it was not actually the dynamic offset that was the culprit, but rather the root table offset. Figuring this out would have taken an eternity without SGPR dumps.

-Overall great location to center of deep creek. -Nice neighborhood. -Not a lake access home as advertised, the lake is a bit of a longer walk so safer to drive if walking with children! - downstairs fireplace or tv doesn't work. -missing remote backs to all downstairs tvs. - upstairs sliding glass door near kitchen doesnt open. - all sliding doors and outdoor chairs are worn. - downstairs toilet paper roll broken. -outdoor table w umbrella is broken and unusable. -shower curtain need cleaned. -downstairs toilets have low pressure and takes forever to flush.


The house was awesome. Needs a little TLC but overall a great place to stay. The AC works well! The home has everything you need except for the basics like toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap etc. We had an awesome trip and cannot wait to visit Deep Creek again!


Great home for large family. Close to everything! Home was very pretty and the hot tub was a hit! Thank you for hosting our family. Few issues with the home: extremely cold downstairs (we even had to block some vents and buy some small heaters), blinds need replaced as many didn't work or were broken, dryer needs repaired (had to restart it several times for load of clothes to dry), mattress on sleeper sofa needs replaced(badly). Pros: kitchen well stocked!, nice lake access area near home, plenty of outdoor furniture, decks were awesome, home nicely decorated. We would definitely rent this home again!


We enjoy this house year after year. For us its a bit of home away from home. Great community for walks and love its dog friendly. We also love the area its in. We love to rent boats and silver tree and bills is a quick trip down the road to grab the boat and the access area is easy to get to to pick up the family for the day. So conveniently located!
