    Any interest in MC-E dive lights?

    Train wrecks

    Private boat, and yes not too many people have the "exact" numbers,though they can be found by careful detective work with the available info. the site has been officially "arrested" so its a "no souvenirs" dive but still pretty cool for a small group to see, there is talk of actually raising...

    Is Solo diving a category of Technical diving?

    It cant be Tech Diving 'cause then how would we have Solo-Technical Diving!LOL :D Seriously I have been soloing for years, it took a good bit of conventional buddy-diving to get to the point where I "knew" I was ready to go solo and be as safe as possible while going it alone. Diving is not...

    Train wrecks

    Dove the ones you saw on the show with the guy who re-re discovered them, kinda eerie as they are not " wrecked" (like most of the other stuff we dive) just sitting upright on the bottom nearly side by side like they were just parked there. Hope other people will get the chance to see them as...

    Looking for a REAL dive ladder for my boat

    If you want to climb in the boat with full gear, telescoping or fold up ladders are just not going to hold up. If you are handy at all you can get a really heavy weight stainless steel ladder from the scrap yard, look for old motorhomes they usually have some that that are very well made. Just...

    Opinion Poll on Current. What do you consider strong?

    When I first started diving I only dove in med. to strong current, Highlands Bridge, and off of SandyHook NJ. We would thumb the dives when we got tired of pulling our masks up from under our chins. This experience made diving the fast moving rivers of South Carolina in search of fossils "no...

    Wearing Microprene under a 7mm suit?

    have the same 7/5 hyper that i use here in balmy nj, when i dont feel like switching over to the drysuit i use a lycra full and a polartech full, under the 7/5 very often my torso doesnt even get wet on a single dive. also a hooded vest would help keep the water from running down your neck as...

    WV charters anyone?

    Izzy, Listen to DeepLou he speaks the truth. You can try to get out midday but you will get blown out more than not. If you are not a morning person you will have better odds with a night dive. I live on SandyHook Bay, the wind and chop come in the early afternoon like clockwork.

    BC Knife Mounting Preference?

    Ditto to IndigoBlue on this, Two is One, One is None! A small folding knife tied to a snap and clipped to a shoulder ring works pretty good for me and i havent lost a knife yet since i started doing this. shears in a pocket are great when you run into a pile of mono,i file i small notch into the...

    SeaQuest Black Diamond vs. Zeagle Ranger

    I have a Black Diamond that i use when diving wet, its great! but I found it too constricting when diving dry. If you think you will be using one bc for both wet and dry and also not diving doubles, take a look at the Trans Pac by DiveRite or The similiar harness system by Oms they are much...

    are combination octo/power inflators BS?

    Have used a sherwood shadow+ it breathed like crap! but will also keep breathing.......like crap, when disconnected from the inflator, it will get you to the surface, but not smiling! When i got it i thought great! one less hose. When i had more dives under my belt i realized that a hose or two...
