    Rainbow Reef Dive Center buys Ocean Divers

    DJ, Are you going to run the fuel dock below Sharkey's too? As to double dipping the Spiegel Grove, I've been down here all week and we doubled it Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I'm not sure what they did today. The Duane and Bibb have been blown out all week.

    Search & Recovery diver dead - Fort Hood, Texas

    A low altitude helicopter flight (<2500') is going to be less than three fsw equivalent drop in pressure. A typical 8000 foot cabin altitude for an aircraft flying near 35000' equates to about 8.5 fsw drop in pressure.

    Filmmaker Rob Stewart's family files wrongful death lawsuit

    NetDoc and Wookie, I was just down in KL for three weeks, read the articles about the Fire Rescue Team and gathered from conversations from a local captain, that the original plan was to return to the wreck the next day and the hook wasn't brought up so that it and the ball would be in place...

    Virgin diver needs to go from no experience - employed ASAP

    Get your OW and then check on an internship at Rainbow Reef. They will take you up through instructor. If you do well, they may hire you at the end of your internship. If not, you should be able to find a job in the Keys. 35K should be plenty to live on. Good luck whatever you decide.

    Help With Organising A Diving Course Holiday

    Maybe the Baliwick of Jersey, which would be the old Jersey that New Jersey derives it's name from? Pretty much anything in the U.S. that starts with New can be traced back to an original location in Europe.

    Should I Get A Longer Primary Hose When I Also Have A Safe Second?

    You could also just add an alternate second stage. Next time you take your rig in for service and they tell you it's going to cost a fortune or they can't get parts for the SS1, then you can remove it and go back to a standard inflator. In the meantime you'll have a spare spare.

    Must gear be purchased from the LDS you are getting Open Water certified at?

    Diver's Direct offers classes, but based on your location and their locations, I'm not sure how close "the other side of town" is for you. To me, it looks like you either went to West Palm Beach or Orlando.

    Question about air2's

    I have both. No big deal. It came with the BC. I could've take the Air2 off, but it's a perfectly good inflator and having it saved a dive for me this spring. My primary was diving wet after service, so I used my octo and still had a functioning alternate. C'est la vie.

    200' on air for 5 min bottom time?

    Your math is wrong in step 3) Ascent from 200 to 20 is an ascent of 180 feet. That's 6 minutes at 30 fpm. Also, you have to add 20 seconds for the ascent from 20 feet to 10 feet and then another 20 seconds to get to the surface. So theoretically and only as an academic exercise, the run time...

    Recommendations for GoPro programs?

    Sounds like you know about the diving. For years I overlooked the Keys. Just got back from Belize and I can tell you that I gained an even greater appreciation for the quality of diving off Key Largo. Enjoy your journey.
