That's beautiful! Does the dive op require cave or cavern cert?

When are you planing your trip?

A couple of years ago, I came across a Luxfer’s Scuba Cylinder Visual Inspection Guide The red text on the first page is my notes.

Last year while diving in the keys, friends continued to have problems seating their din regs. I use yolk style and didn't have din o rings. When I got some din o rings from a LDS, I noticed they were slightly different in size. They were not standard yolk size. Do different brand din tank...

Occasionally, I've been known to crawl out on my hands and knees.

I really like the O-ring chart. I never would have thought of that. Thanks. The nail clippers are a great idea also.

After reading the form again for the 5th or 6th time, I've concluded it is confusing. If I were in the OP's fins, I'd ask scuba board members for a recommendation for another dive operator at that location.

Now that's frightening! Shouldn't dealing with a diver in a dry suit be covered in class and pre-dive briefing. Diving exclusively in south and central Florida, my dive buddies and I don't drive dry. I appreciate your post and will remember it if we ever dive dry. Thanks.

That is the punch line of my all time favorite joke.

IMO, you are wrong. At the bottom of page 1 the first sentence under Participant Signature states, "If you answered NO to all 10 questions above, a medical evaluation is not required." You said you answered yes to being over 45. It's their pool their rules. You have two options, get the...

I dove Cudjoe Key twice in December 2012. Like today it was abnormally cold for December. The water temperature was 72 and 68 respectively. I was in a 7 mil farmer john with 36 pounds of lead and an 80 CF aluminum tank. The keys are much better to dive from April through October.

Florida Underwater Sports has a shop on Anna Maria Island and they have a nice boat.

Several years ago I made a Scuba Vacation Check List. In addition to using it while packing for vacation, I use the applicable sections to gather the all of the equipment I'll need the day before a local dive. Nearly all of my diving is from my boat. 350 plus dives since certification, I still...

Dear Scubaboard Admin, You've done it now! The addition of the Google ad pop up at the bottom of the OSX Safari is beyond annoying. Scubaboard members, watch for an announcement that for a fee you will be exempted for the new pop ups. For years, I have enjoyed and learned from Scubaboard. I...

Lots of good ideas posted here. I use this list when I'm packing for a month in the Keys. I also have one for the boat and clothes.

Theoretically speaking, if you make a 30 minute dive to 90 feet breathing air and decide to make a deep safety stop at 30 feet, will you still be on gassing nitrogen? Or off-gassing? Same situation but breathing 32% oxygen. IMHO, I don't think the pressure gradient delta is great enough to...

There are a lot fewer hurricanes in December.

They may only sell welding gas at that store. The store I use sells oxygen only. The Airgas store I provide info on is from the Airgas web site for oxygen sales.
