    3D printing...

    Neat to see this thread. I have been 3d printing for almost a year now (Creality Ender 3) and am always looking to find or design useful things. For those who have done some things that you use underwater, will PLA be Ok or should you go for PETG or ABS? Jeff

Been to most of the fresh water springs and boat dive off West Palm beach. Here in a few year I plan on retiring and moving down there. What actual dive spots are there...

    Maui Diving (including Lanai and Molokai) and Kauai

    Good thread. Dove with Extended Horizons 5 years ago and did the Lanai trip and hit Cathedrals and Sharkfin. Was a lot of fun and a good outfit to dive with.

    What safety items do you check prior to boarding a dive boat?

    Glad this turned out ok. It is a wake up to me as I need to be thinking of these safety items when I go on a boat trip. Thanks for the eye opener. Jeff

    Why Scuba Diving?

    I have always loved to be under the water and when I decided to get certified it was anew world. I don't go that much (living in central illinois) but have been able to dive in Hawaii, California, Florida, South Carolina and Illinois. Why? The quietness, being able to see and experience things...

    Great report. Have always wanted to and it is on my bucket list. I am only a AOW with around 60 dives. Do you think such a trip would be too much for my experience? (I know that is an open ended question!) Jeff

    Most dives for the $$ in Florida?

    I did WPB a few years ago when I had only been diving a short time and was still just OW. Went with a very experienced friend of my daughters who lives there and it was a great 2 tank drift dive. Good for starters. I don't remember the dive op though..... Jeff
