    Bandito Speargun Parts?

    I have a Bandito 36 that is a real nice gun, brain shots, but the track fell off and was sent back to Key West I believe. Call Lee at Scubaworks in Jupiter, FL @ 561-575-3483 he should be able to direct you. I heard that Bandito went under, but who really knows. Let me know how you make out.

    Recovering From Cold Sinus Congestion

    THX Pete, I'm definitely in a "no-go" situation. I get 100 dives a year, so no biggy to knock off for a week. Sinus allergies vs. cold sinus congestion are miles apart. On top of that, I've had a recent reverse-squeeze, first one in 40-years of diving. Thank god I headed up on that dive with...

    Recovering From Cold Sinus Congestion

    Sitting here at the laptop this morning trying to decongest from a cold I brought back from California last week, before diving. While I believe my cold symptoms are past, my sinus congestion has persisted. I woke up at 5 AM to drop an Allegra-D to try and see how much relief I will get by 7:30...

    Does anyone here take lobster by hand?

    90% by hand for me. While eels are always to be reckoned with, I now hear of reports and see threads of lobsters rooming with lionfish. What's next?

    WE NEED TO ACT NOW! Florida's goliath grouper still need our help.

    While this all gets hashed-out by the lobbyists, politcos and scientists, I'll be on the bottom enjoying the upcoming aggregation off Jupiter. At least I hope to, if they haven't ALL been poached. For now, I'll be shooting them with my Olympus.:lotsalove:

    kayaks kayaks kayaks

    Hobie Kona is a double that can be paddled from a center postion as well. Lots of room for anything you dive with. Take a few test drives and visit several dealers if you have time, there are many choices, but fit is important.

    You Florida people got it made...

    SoFla is awesome, and the diving is probably as consistantly good as any place I've ever dove. Not a lifer myself, but my brother was born here and lives in Orlando, but even that is a short spin to the Palm Beaches. Wrecks, lobsters, spearfishing, reefs, thongs and Ft. Lauderdale.

    Ear Barotrauma.....I Think!

    DocV.... THX for lighting a fire under me with the ear. You were right, I needed to know what was going on with it, instead of guessing. If I'm not bleeding or in real pain I will ignore most things, but this had to do with diving. I am getting good relief from the AllegraD and Rhinocort, even...

    Ear Barotrauma.....I Think!

    This event was NOT my eardrum. Yeah!!!!! That's the good news from my Dr.!!! Mucus and stuff dislodged from equalizing, I was getting congested that morning as it was. So I have gummed-up the middle ear instead, not my first time with this symptom. Rhinocort Aqua nasal spray and Allegra D for...

    Ear Barotrauma.....I Think!

    Appointment at 3 PM today, someone must have died......just kidding!!! I recall doing something like this free diving about 10-years ago. I had clogged my middle ear with blood and mucus after many consecutive days of surface dives. I remember a miserable flight home and not hearing well due to...

    Ear Barotrauma.....I Think!

    Last Tuesday while descending on my second dive I experienced difficulty in clearing my left ear. Rising, swallowing, pressuring, and all my little tricks didn't help to get the job done. One more sustained pressuring cleared me, but I felt a twinge and fluid sensation when it finally happened...

    I usually only see these fellows while lobstering, and they only seem to move just before you accidentially grab one.
