Greetings One and All I am traveling on business to Florida in Feb. I have 1 (maybe 2) day(s) to dive. Thursday, Feb. 15 for sure, maybe 16 too. I would like to connect with a dive buddy. Anybody. I am open to suggestions. I have dived the area before (Spiegel, Duane, Thunderbolt, etc.) so there...

Hey folks! I am thinking booking a night dive (shore dive) through Waterhorse. I have newer "successfully" dived LaJolla, meaning, there has always been bad-vis, etc. I have tried 2-3 times. Waterhorse suggested the Canyon for night diving. I want to do 2 dives (2 tanks) Waterhorse charges...

I am looking for a source for Whiskers for my Extra Force Fins. I had one break today; I don't even know when it happened or how! I noticed it during the SI between dives. Weird. Now I'm trying to locate a replacement, but I'm not having any luck! Can anyone help? Michael

Here are some photos taken with a camera phone so resolution is not too good. These are from the "diving" exhibition at the Children's Museum in Indianapolis, Indiana. Granted, there aren't a whole lot of beaches around (Indiana Beach doesn't really count, does it?). Nevertheless, please, you...

We need to buy 10-20 tanks for the LDS here in Estonia. We hope to find them in one location in US and ship them over. The shipping part we've done before. Of course, they'll have to be emptied of air and we DO NOT NEED the valves (unless they are already DIN). Would prefer if they still had...

Hey Bob AND Blair You all going to make it to DEMA this year? I might be able to swing it!! :eyebrow:

Greetings! Looks like I'll be able to make to DEMA this year. I'll have Friday, Saturday, Nov 6-7 and Monday the 9th for diving. We are flying in and out of Orlando. It looks like I will be in Fort Meyers on Sun. How is good is the diving that time of year in that area? Should I look...

I am the lone ForceFin supporter/user (can you be one without the other??) here in EstoniaLand. I get comments about my fins ALL the time (usually disparaging :depressed: unfortunately). Consequently, I am always looking to "spot" the Force in use by "well-known" sources. The reason is to...

Greetings fellow SBers. I received these 1st stages last week in the mail as part of a "package". The seller believes one is a Sherwood Blizzard but had no idea what the other one is. If the one [Reg A] is a Blizzard, it looks in awesome shape. There is hardly a scratch on it. I believe...

** This is not as exciting as some recent posts, but I told myself during the dive, "Mike, ol boy, you're going to have to post a thread and tell everybody what an idiot you are!" :lotsalove: All I could think about was, "will this be a 'stupid thing I did,' or 'he died because ...'...

A woman (name withheld to protect the guilty) was in town on a shopping trip. She began her day finding the most perfect fins at a great price in the first dive shop and a beautiful wetsuit on sale in the second. In the third shop everything had just been reduced by 50 percent when her mobile...

This year the weather has been cooperative and the ice has thickened up enough to be used for diving. The ice yesterday was close to a foot thick. There is an amazing amount of work entailed in preparing a dive site for ice-diving. It took us about 2 hours' work to prepare for 30 minutes of...

(Please note that the following is true except that I tried to make the great folks at Force Fin [Blair mainly] appear as the evil villains. I think that they'll bear with me because the story has a happy ending!) :D Well, after much counsel and discussion with the Pros at Force Fin, it was...

I need help/advice. I have a 7mm Bare neoprene drysuit. The problem is that the wrist seals don't give me much wrist! They seal right up to the hand and then you have this huge cylinder right at your wrist/hand because the seals kind of retract into the cylinder. Although this does seal well...

Dear Diary: For my forty-fifth birthday this year, my wife (the dear) purchased a week of personal training at the local health club for me. Although I am still in great shape (well pretty good anyway) since my time in the Marine Corps awhile ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead...

Santa was Scrooge this year and didn't deliver! I am still waiting on my new Pros XXXL to arrive from England for my drysuit (also had to stick with boring black, yuck), but I just had to dive as it was our club's final dive of the year. We had to change our plans a little. We had another...

I am a long time diver but only recently started diving dry. O.K. admittedly I am a little (ignore the snorting in the background as my wife chokes over the "a little" part) bull-headed. The course I took was PADI and PADI recommends using the suit for buoyancy control (BC). Now I am thinking...

Went diving last weekend. Well, I figured it was 'bout time to go dry. So, Last week I went on my first drysuit dive. (Been diving wetsuit until last week.) Regulator froze up too! Here is the YouTube link: YouTube - kaidokas's Channel Kaido did the filming and put the piece together. I...

After diving exclusively in the US and Mexico with US gear, I now find myself in Europe. So.Cal was the coldest water (maybe 55F?); now we dive with snow on the ground. Wetsuit before; drysuit now. If that wasn't bad enough, when they asked me what tank I wanted to use, all I could do was...

Which? Don't see it.
