Back in September, I went out with a group to go dive the Brass Wreck near Pensacola. We went out with the Scuba Shack (WetDream Charters), and had a great time. This was my first time on the site, and I found it to be a very interesting dive. We found visibility to be average to better than...

I'm a long-time fan of my frameless mask. While snooping around for a deal on a used framelss for a backup, I noticed the buzz about a new version called the "Frameless 2". Is there any information on the field of view? The v1 mask has (in my experiences) the best field of view out there, so...

Hi. One of my regular dive buddies is having a rather peculiar issue with his B2 first stage. The regulator intermittently makes this weird, rattling noise. It's probably just easier to check out the video. If you turn up the speakers, there's really no way to miss it...

Here's a short video I put together using footage from our area. Featuring video & stills from Panama City Beach (BJ Putman, Twin Tugs), Pensacola ( USS Oriskany, the San Pablo, Ft. Pickens jetty) and Dauphin Island (gas platforms). Gulf Coast Dive Society - YouTube

I picked up an Atom 3.0 back in March to replace my Pro Plus 2 as my primary PDC. I've logged 41 dives with it during that time. Shortly after getting the Atom, I noticed something unusual while free diving with the computer. While descending to about 15', the display became. . 'scrambled'...

My wife and I have been using Atomic's regulators, masks, fins and now computer for the past several years and have been very pleased. Unfortunately, we're noticing some problems with a couple of our sub frame masks. Both are leaking from either where the glass meets the colored frame or where...

Good morning, My wife and I have enjoyed using Intova lights as our dive lights of choice for most of the past three years. During that time, we've had some issues with a few lights but have been impressed with the level of customer service provided by Intova. Unfortunately, my IFL 660...

Does anyone have and preference on dates for Vortoberfest this year? I can't believe that it's only three months away....

Hello, I will be in the Crystal River area on business this Thursday and Friday (6/21 & 6/22). I'm not very familiar with the area, but I'm thinking about tossing some gear in the car to take down with me. Is there any shore access on Kings Bay? I'm staying at the Best Western in Crystal...

I left my better half to her job Sunday morning in order to meet up with the loosely affiliated 'Gulf Coast Diving Society' for a couple tanks in Pensacola Beach. The group's plan was to meet around 10:30 to do a tank at Ft. Pickens, followed by another at the Portifino Christmas trees. My...

I'm looking to get over to Ft. Pickens sometime this week or weekend, and am looking for a dive buddy. I'm available Thursday and Friday late afternoon, all day Saturday and Sunday. Here's the relevant tide info: I'm not really set on Pickens, either- - It's just quick and easy to get to...

I wanted to edit the title of my original thread : Light Flooded but it seems that I cannot do so. I know that often times people will just skim the headlines in a forum without reading the full story. My intova Ultra light flooded on its first weekend. Intova Joe told us that there was a...

We spent the afternoon over at Ft. Pickens scouting some sites for our wedding. The tides and weather looked favorable, so we tossed the dive gear in the car, too. About 4:15 we headed over to the dive site to take a look. The water looked beautiful and clear. Sunset was at 5:38, So we...

First let me say that I am a big fan of all my Intova torches. Excellent lights, amazing price. A few months ago I purchased one of the new Ultra Nova torches and have been itching to get it in the water all winter. Last weekend, I finally had the chance. I made four dives with the light...

Thursday afternoon Tessunderwater and I loaded up the Scion and made our way out of Mobile. The plan was to meet up at Ft. Pickens around 6pm for a two tank night dive. We pulled in at 6 to find GlenFWB, MrMcCoy, and GChaney already on site, as well as a few fishermen on the rocks. We were...

On Monday, Kmenees, myself, our roomate and another friend drove over to Destin to check out the east jetty. The weather turned out to be perfect: a nice reprive from the rain and wind of Sunday ( http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/deep-dixie-divers/335910-dive-report-ft-pickens-5-16-10-a.html )...

Despite the nasty weather, I got together with a couple friends (not scubaboard members) and headed to Ft. Pickens Sunday morning. As we crossed the bridge from Pensacola into Gulf Breeze, we apprehensivly watched the most recent storm roll off to the east and decided that it did, in fact, look...

Hello, I'd like to get over to Ft. Pickens this weekend, but I seem to be at a loss trying to figure out when high tide is. It seems like three different websites, two iPhone apps and two dive shops have all given me a variety of answers. I know that spring tide is this weekend, and I've...

This being my first post on the board, perhaps I should introduce myself! I completed my OW back in 2000 while living in north Alabama. Other than the time spent in my local quarry, most of my experience has come from shallow dives in the Keys as well as a handful of dives on the reef in...
