reminds me of another set of videos on youtube, search Gulf of Mexico Blob

Tearing apart your snorkel every dive, something is going to give eventually. You could replace the keeper with a velcro strap. It will always come off easily, and its dirt cheap to replace if it gets mucked up. Of course hair will get stuck to that too. There are a couple of other snorkel...

according to the great and wonderful internet, that lake has a max depth of 23 feet.

Quick note, whenever I travel to another country, I look up the language, and specific translations for things that I might be questioned on. I haven't had to do this for SCUBA travel yet, but it might be handy to translate a few phrases down onto paper, then just show them the paper. I've...

Every shop I've been diving with, i've been told that they require a check out dive, but have never actually done a check out. Sometimes I would like one. Others I could care less. That being said, If I was to spend a few thousand dollars on a dive vacation for my buddy and I, and the dive...

people keep mentioning the Hollis F1, I have seen another brand that make s a (visually) similar design... IST F1, and the IST F4 for about 1/2 the price of a Hollis. Any thoughts on this brand?

I have heard alot about Force fins, and would enjoy trying them out. I use a split fin, but find it difficult to do anything beyond moving forward no matter how I kick. I've seen others use them to good affect though.

my thought is try it and let us know how it works.

wow, how'd i miss that?

Is there no way to search a specific forum? I have been mucking about but not found that in the advanced search. If not, it might be something to look at adding

Outside of coursework, I refer to a DM as Dive Guides. Basically that is all they are. I am not as experience with SCUBA as I would like, but the principals are the same for every dangerous activity, whether it be back-country Backpacking, Skiing, rock climbing, cycling, or SCUBA. I hire a...

not to go too far astray, but I understand Branson is looking at diving the Puerto Rico trench in his Virgin Oceanic seaplane as well. It will be interesting during the next few years to see how many more manned expeditions are launched, and whether the trend continues and significant...

Yet..

Have a group From Helena Scuba stuck in Beqa. They are saying it is likely they cannot get out before Tomorrow Heavy flooding everywhere, all roads closed...etc.

I've never used those, but there are a lot fo DIY things you can use. I use an old fiberglass tentpole cut in half. I have attached a wrist strap, doubles as a pointer and tank tapper. You can also make a shaker with minimal effort. Piece of pipe with two caps and a ball bearing inside...

Before going to Coz last year, my Wife and I did our research. One of the first conclusions I came to was that we each needed a reel and SMB and audible signal. Even so, with currents as strong as those in Coz, I can see a person being swept away from an area rather quickly, even on the...

You could probably do some longer dives off of Key Largo. Most operators will only allow 1 hour bottom time. I'm an air hog and could easily done a 1.5 hour dive in an AL80. And there is plenty to see and not get bored. I stay fairly warm but at 2+ hours I would say going drysuit would be...

Great advice. For some reason I have never considered this, and am certain I do it regularly. ---------- Post added at 11:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ---------- Would this in some way affect the durability of the BC/Second stage over time?

There were tickets at the door last year if I remember correctly. Otherwise available at LDS.

We were down on a holiday weekend. And to be totally honest, I don't think we paid a full $50, but somewhere in the 40s. I saw an internet listing for them for $39, but it was a couple days after the holiday rush.
