    Diving with back problems?

    Noted that you say you have this back pain "every year". Is it about this time of year? If so, sounds like your symptoms and mine are pretty similar..for me - and I'm speaking only for me - my major flare-ups come during the coldest part of the year when I'm LEAST active - as the spring and...

    Diving with back problems?

    I am NOT giving medical advice, just my experience - I have a herniated disc, I spent years in pain, tingling sensations in both legs, numbness, pain meds, MRI's, couldn't sleep - some deal where they stuck a series of needles along my spine....out of absolute deperation and half crazy, I...

    Will this boat work? And additional questions.

    I agree - jet drives are very inefficient - have to get a lot more horsepower for the power you want. I dive out of a 15 ft Scout w/ 50hp 4 stroke Yamaha and a 21 ft pontoon boat w/ 50 hp Evinrude - don't like Mercs, know people who swear by them...know people who swear at them.....never had any...

    Meg Tooth Cleaning

    haven't damaged one yet, certainly don't want to burn it...little slow buffing on a soft wheel is no worse than vinegar. Saw one after a guy dropped it in muriatic acid....

    Bottle question

    If it's got ANY kind of numbers on it, it's TOO new (wink).

    Meg Tooth Cleaning

    depends on the condition found...I've found some that are beautiful as is...then others look like - well...I'd refrain from soaking them in anything ...a buffing wheel with jeweler's rouge is the best way to polish them.

    So Annoyed!

    I kinda chuckled at the one night thing - but that's a normal thing for me (missing a night's sleep.....and the constant chuckling I suppose). I find my crash comes the second day. I take a tylenol pm EVERY night and it helps - some of the other stuff weirds me out. If this is a rare...

    Found 4 dead Green Turtles on my Dive yesterday

    if you think that kind of stuff (turtle killing) is only happening there, think again. I've found a number of beheaded turtles. The local shrimpers chop the "business end" off of them to make them easier to get out of their nets. and I agree, oil rigs are a great places to dive and...

    Looking at retiring

    I bought the locking tonneau cover - you can walk around on that thing, it'll pull some pretty serious boats out of some not so nice landings - 24 ft HEAVY Mako was biggest so far. Trunk storage is TRULY genius - and it has a drain plug - throw your wet salty gear in there, then just rinse it...
