I head to Surf Expo once again in about two weeks.

Thanks Dave. I have always snorkeled as well as scuba. I am a big proponent of shallow water and feel the dive community has over looked it for the most part. It is also nice to have all that ambient light to work with. Again nice photographs, keep on enjoying.

Striped hermit crab in the shell of a lightening whelk, Destin jetties, Destin Florida Nice Photo. What camera are you using?

Yep that's right. Just got back in town. See my post below. Great concept and fulfillment of concept in actual package.

This is an article and review of the “memory Kick” media center. My dive buddy Pete, CEO of ScubaBoard, handed me one from the guy who make it and said see what you think. In a gist here is what it is and what it’s supposed to do. This very portable media center is...

A suggestion to all of you. Go read Terry Maas' articles on SWB. Here is the link.Hawaii Skin Diver Blog Archive World-renowned free diving team offers free talk to Hawaii divers I say this having read enough obituaries of freedivers to last me awhile. I am a freediver. I say this...

Bah hum bug. Come on guys this thread has been so over thought! Assumption that your buddy is going to be the donor/recipient is only one possibility. Others exist. Remember most of the dive community is not DIR. So I am introducing a new possibility and acronym. TFA trained for any thing...

Free dive list is an excellent place to have your questions answered if it still exists.

It was a great day with many interesting people. Thanks to all of you.

agree completely

So as an Air2 user I have a question? If I come across any of you Octo Rig guys who are OOA should I offer to assist or will you be declining because of my poor choice of equipment and obviously deranged mental state? I am thoroughly trained starting with buddy breathing years ago to current...

"Don't forget the multitude of other springs available for divers. Florida is full of them and the visibility is great." My intention is to make this an ongoing thread about spring diving in Florida. Thanks for the suggestion. Maybe we can create a dive matrix map for Fl springs. "A...

To Scuba or Not to Scuba that is the question. Are you are looking for a great day trip - if you live in central or north Florida consider Rainbow Springs or Rainbow River. The difference in my mind is that Rainbow Springs is the State Park (Main Page - Rainbow Springs State Park Florida State...

:DSaspotato said "I guess I like my gear to be as idiot proof as possible and with the least amount of failure points" This would be my very reason for the SS1, one less hose and one less piece of gear or failure point. I had a high pressure hose fail once. I thought someone had shot me when...

I had an Air2 that I still have hanging in my closet because I want to make sure nobody ever uses it. I went to an Octo with and without a 7' hose. Then I ditched the Octo for an Atomic SS1 which is the same concept as an Air2 but a completely different piece of gear. I like it as much as I...

When any of you are saying Air 2 which is a specific Scuba Pro product are you referring to the concept of using the BC inflator hose as a backup regulator or this specific piece of Scuba Pro gear? As well, how many of you, this means you, not someone you know or some idea you have in your...

Did you get a photo of the gator?

The best solution during the pre-dive is to make sure you don't have a buddy. That solves all these problems.

I agree about the quality of an Air II. But having said that I use a safe second air source from Atomic called the SS1 and it is a great piece of gear. I have many dive hours logged. I have buddy breathed out of a cave with a double hose regulator (yes along time ago). My training paid out...

Try a spring. They are the jewels of Florida. Springs abound, some known and some you have to find on your own. Most are beautiful settings and can offer kayaking and canoeing as well. Remember if you snorkel a spring run be aware that you can meet a local gator and he will not be dressed in...
