    So I want to start down the road... (to a cave cert)

    Lots of good advice here. On a different avenue as far as training goes, NAUI has a pretty nice Cave program and after their Cave 1, a "cave tourist" will have a pretty good toolbox and liberal enough limits to give you a lot of options for a lot of years. I'd recommend doing a combined...

    What's your preference for taking notes?

    I'm a wet note in the thigh pocket kind of guy. They don't come out all that often...when we turn a dive and at the deco stop. Other than that, they seldom see the light so it isn't too big of a deal...although it is a bit of a pain when the pocket is loaded with other stuff. Maybe I just...

    Starting from scratch

    If you really think you're going down the tech path in the next few years, forget about the jacket BC, SS1 backup reg, and all of that crap that they sell at the local recreational shop. Read this: . Don't worry about the specific brands, but model your equipment configuration after what you...

    April in Florida -- Caves Likely to Be Open?

    Unless some BIG rain comes down, something should be divable. As others have said, something is usually divable even when others are blown out. Ginnie and Manatee are among the last to go under, so they are usually a safe bet. A tour of the popular and easily accessible caves would include...

    It's quite a ways out, but keep me in the loop. If I'm around I'd love to help out. Lee

    Starting from scratch

    Nothing wrong with Atomic, but the B2 is a waste of $$$ in my opinion. I have one and wish I would have gotten an M1 or Z2. The added Ti in the second stage just cuts down the versatility and increases the price. The swivel on the 1st and second don't really matter once you're using a long...

    Very clever marketing :-)

    Why aren't people just buying the Uwatec 330BT? Is this not a viable option for some reason? They seem to be available (I've seen them in 3 different shops in the past month) and do everything that the old one did plus the average depth (non resettable) and extended max depth. Just curious...

    If I get laid off, I'm coming to Florida to dive - Key Largo?

    Getting laid off about a month ago was one of the better things to happen to me. Enjoy yourself and make the best of it. Don't do what a friend of mine did a few years ago and in his words "squander my unemployment" time. Make the most of your opportunities and do what fits your life...

    Sat Dec 20 - Peacock

    If anyone is going to be up in Cave Country this weekend, I'm looking to dive at Peacock on Saturday. Would like to do mellow main line/1 jump stuff. Mainly, just want to scope out where a few jumps/lines/side tunnels are and get a little more familiar with the system. Willing to go up to...

    Getting Plan "B" in place for diving the Keys

    You have lots of good options for diving. If you're set on the Keys, then go to Key Largo...there's pretty much a dive shop on every corner. Chris at Silent World (who posted above) will take good care of you for sure. Since most people diving there are traveling, pretty much all your boat...

    Looking for dive buddies 12/22-12/24 in/around Ginnie Springs, Crystal River

    I'm not sure exactly what my schedule will look like, but I'll be coming back through there on the 24th or 25th. If I'm around on the 24th, I'll be more than happy to hop onto Ginnie with you. Sounds like you have a nice few days set up, should be great. Remember that when at Ginnie...

    Are backplates and wings not for noobs?

    I'm one of a lot of people that wish we never would have purchased a jacket style bc and had gotten a bp/wing first. Everyone that I know that has tried one now dives one and says the same thing. As far as I'm concerned, the bp/wing is more comfortable, helps with position in the water, less...

    Looking for Weeki Wachee group

    Weeki Wachee just became a state park and I'm not sure how they are doing things now. It may be best to call them at 352-596-2062. They can probably direct you to a shop or someone running a group over there. Scuba West, down the road in Hudson can probably be of some help too. Scuba West...

    Advanced cert.

    Carlos, chose the skills that are geared toward the type of diving that you wish to do. You're in Miami, so there's a lot of deep wrecks around, so go with deep. RJ goes out on a night dive every Wednesday, so night would be good. Maybe drift so you can go up to West Palm and know how the...
