Filling a dry light with oil is poor compensation for bad design. There are just too many commercial LED dive lights ranging from $50 up there is no reason to DIY anymore. Even high end cave lights are better commercial. From China to High Springs Florida the choice of lights is huge.

Keeping in mind that she will be a junior ow diver and restricted to 40 ft unless with an instructor. My JOW IS 11 too and I am her buddy I also did a swim along when she did her class. I was able to make a judgement of her skill. Remember if you are her buddy you are diving solo there is little...

I was kidnapped and forced to leave my snow fort at the tender age of 10 spent the next 39 years in CF cave diving is the only reason I don't move. There is a reason Florida looks like a sewer drain. The US flushes everything down here. If there was any work in North Florida Tallahassee area I'd...

You will want to call in advance to the park to make sure they don't close to divers. We are getting ready to have a cool down and the manatee will move in. Once they get x number they close.. Scuba Diversions in Longwood, fl. Would be a good place to get gear. He rents Zeagles with computers on...

NO details from the survivor, most likely will not hear anything but rumors. I suspect both were OW and there is not likely to be a follow store in the paper or Wesh, as it is already off the main page and 5 stories down on the Volusia widget.

Having an 11 JOW diver of my own I can relate to this thread. I too have let her play in the pool even though it is only 5 ft deep in the middle, I have stressed to her to NEVER hold her breath. We practiced many of the skills in the pool, make off breathing, reg recovery, clearing a mask etc...

All this talk of USC which I know is University of Southern California, Let me point out that my UCF Knights took USC University of Steve Carolina ur South Carolina into the locker room 10-0. Mental lapes in the 3rd quarter allowed USC to come back, the Knight finally pulled the heads out of the...

Great fun to shoot if you can find the ammo

Some folks just get it. My 11YO JOW daughter picked up trim and fining technique very quickly.

This has been a topic on the Cave Divers sites for years. It is called Ear Beer. A 50/50 mix of Alcohol and white vinegar. Here is the trick. 5 minute dwell time in each ear. There are articles from folks that know. It seems to come up more often on the CDF because we dive in fresh water and it...

I was wondering if everyone was making an incorrect assumption as to the Caution Zone Statement. I was hoping the OP would clarify but has only posted one follow up. I was thinking he was reaching an O2 CNS Caution diving that rich of a mix at the limit of MOD for a square profile. Having dove...

I would really hate to need to rely on a single LDS love living in central Florida have,at least 4 shops in a 10 mile dive and 20 or so between me and cave country. Find a new tech

The op said they were E series so if that is true then they could be only from 2004 at the most right? Steel tanks barely past their first hydro for $100 bucks that sounds like a great deal.

Another picture of the Shy and allusive, Endangered Goliath Grouper?

We're gonna need a bigger plane...;)

Playing devils advocate, What would you do if you were looking to dive some exotic island that did not have a compressor only accessible via private small airplane?

If you have never been spring diving or are working on the skills of a new diver it is good but for you that could be done just as well at Crystal River. My Daughter is 11 so it is nice to get in the water where she can work slowly down clearing her ears. Blue Spring OC is closer to home but I'm...

So Sara and I got to Alexander Springs at 8:00 am and where the first to check in. We had the spring to ourselves for the first good hour. Did some drills and Sara worked on her ear clearing. Overall a great day in the water.

I'm taking my 11 yo JOW to Alexander Springs plan to be at the gate at 8:00 am if there's any other parents out there that have a young diver that would like to join in let me know.
