    6 pack to the oil platforms south of Biloxi

    PRIMOFISH.COM I have never chartered with him as I use my own boat when I dive out of Biloxi, but I do go to his You Tube Channel to see what the wrecks and rigs off of Ms are looking like.

    BVI Rendezvous Diving

    I did it on my last trip in November 2010 as I was the only diver on our bare boat. My previous 2 bareboat trips in the BVI we dived from the boat. I dove with 2 differnt dive ops as they tend to only to redezvous near the dive sites of the day. So if the Rhone is the site they pick up and...

    Fdog Review: the AquaCat Liveaboard

    Great review. I was on the AC for my honeymoon last November. My wife who was certified the summer before has told me she is not interested in going on any LA that does not meet the standard set by the AC. The good news is she is all in for going back to the AC every 5 years for our anniversary.

    Getting Married in Key Largo

    I am getting married in November in Key Largo. :D I have rented a house on the beach where the ceremony will take place. Can anyone recommend a caterer or restaurant that has a catering menu for our small reception 30-40 guest at the house after the ceremony. I also need a bakery for a small 2...

    How Can We Keep Divers Diving After Certification?

    I hate Salmon. Offer me 50% off Salmon? I still ain't buying Salmon. Loss leaders work because the items in question are commodity items that everyone buys - detergent, toothpaste, underwear, etc - and provides a reason to buy those things and then OTHER things at Wal-Mart instead of K-Mart...

    How Can We Keep Divers Diving After Certification?

    In retail what gets people coming back when they are not so inclined is a deal they just can't pass up. Wal-Mart is great at this in they intentionally are "loss leaders" on items to get people in the door in the hopes that they stay and buy more. Now if the goal is to have people diving enough...

    Oriskany Dive.

    That is only after being reviewed by a jury of your peers to be fit to dive naked in public. If not pass the review please seek solo diver training so that your 100 dive can be solo.

    What gear have you forgotten ?

    I didn't forget my wetsuit but I did grab the wrong wet suit once 3m instead of 7m I did not realize it till we were on the boat at the sight. The water was 51-53 degrees my sac went from it's usual .4-.5 to .8 on the first dive and 1 on the second dive. I was supposed to make two more...

    @Survivor Man

    I forgot to add I agree that the programing is 80% garbage to get ratings and 20% good. Sadly a well done program on shark fining would not sell enough advertising to make a profit. I just wish they could reverse the percentages to 80% public education 20% frenzy footage.

    @Survivor Man

    I do not think the top rated scuba manufacture has anything to do with discovery or les stroud, but rather the dive op rental gear they chose. Stuart Cove has been on many reality shows for their shark dive and the gear is always scuba pro. So I doubt Discovery or Les got any money to sell out...

    Where to find a boat like this? Or recommend one?

    It looks like a glacier bay 3065 or 2665 cc, but the hard top and bench seats with tank holders is custom. However there are plenty of tuna and half tower builders around the country that can build that for you. You could even customize it more to your liking like over head lighting, or...

    Dive Rite Transpac Harness, Any oppinions

    I love my transpac very comfortable and slight adjustments can be made to your set up very easily for dive specific needs ie add butt plate for sidemount etc.

    Why did you become a diver?

    When I was 8 years old I went snorkeling in the Bahamas. Hated the fact that when I dived down I could not stay down long. Knew I was going to get certified it was just a matter of getting onld enough and saving up the money for gear.

    LDS -vs- Online purchases

    I agree other than high population areas with a good number of divers a pure fill station business would have very high failure rate. However you would likely see dive clubs form with 50-100 or more divers splitting the cost of that used compressor via annual dues with unlimited fills. Down here...

    Scuba friendly sunscreen?

    I use Bullfrog quickgel BullFrog Sunblock the formula is alchohal based and dries instantly not greasy at all. I usually dive in a skin so I only usually apply to face and neck for boat rides and SI.

    LA, MS, AL, FL - In Area March 28th and 29th

    Another idea would be to do a two day weekend trip on the Spree or Fling to the flower gardens if space is available. From Lafayette the drive to Freeport TX is slightly shorter than the drive to Gulf shores and you will get a lot more dives in on a livaboard. Jus goolge MV Fling or Spree for...

    Wow... Is this Common?

    Just curious I wonder if the LDS paradigm is caused not because the LDS doesn't want to have repeat business, but because they know so many divers get certified take one maybe two vacations and never dive again. So the hope of repeat business is low making it not the motivating factor in the...
