    Confined water dive site near Ft Lauderdale

    Im looking for a good confined water dive site (shore or some sort of lake) to do CW dives with some volunteers Im teaching for the Seashepherd Society. This is a fully non profit thing and that's why logistics are complicated. I do have all the equipment et all, but can't find a suitable site...

    Playa del Carmen / Cozumel

    So Im going to be in Playa from the 20th to Jan 5th. I will be working at a friend's shop, doing some freelance instruction. If anyone is looking to dive with someone to give them pointers on bouyancy, trim, or just whatever diving stuff, look me up and come diving with us. It doesn't need to be...

    HOG Service Kit price bump, more than 50% more expensive

    What happened that the D1 1st stage service kit is now 34.99 when it used to be (a few weeks ago) 19.99? This is a VERY high increase in price (and the pricing on service kits was recently a deciding factor to change over some regs I had from DiveRite to HOG). I would like to know from Edge...

    Troubleshooting Flathead VI 1st stage high IP

    I started to rebuild my Zeagle Flathead VI. I disassembled it, cleaned all the parts, and now when attempting to get it back in it´s original shape I hit a brick wall every time I test it. It goes all the way to 250 psi IP and then I basically close off the valve (I have an OPV on my IP gauge...

    Zeagle Flathead 7 DIN - Yoke conversion

    I have a Flathead VI, and loved it. Recently I decided to buy some dive gear for my girlfriend, so I chose to instead update my regulator and inherit her my almost brand new Flathead VI. So I went ahead and ordered a FH7 from Scubatoys. Even nicer than my FHVI as expected (and a considerably...

    Miflex HP hose woes ... Scratch another one

    Today mi Miflex HP thin hose broke. It frayed where every Miflex HP hose has frayed thank you very much. Fortunately it was right before the dive. After reading too many cases like this I was wondering when it would happen to me. Crappy HP hose. Great LP ihoses. BTW it had 10 dives on it. Now...

    Pre-dive/post-dive exercise and DCS

    I read many of the threads regarding excercise and DCS here in Scubaboard. There is, as usual with DCS related issues, no conclusive answers. But the general consensus seemed to be that excercise before diving was good, while excercise (or strenous activity) after without an elapsed time was not...

    Further dive training down in Cozumel

    I am interested in organizing a trip for myself and a friend of mine that entails AOW + Rescue + Diving in beautiful Cozumel. We are both standard OW and have more or less the same experience diving. So it is a great opportunity to advance as a team of two in our training and take a nice...

    Hollis F1 fins

    Just got me a pair of Hollis F1s. Used them for 5 dives. I have to say it, these are the best fins I have ever owned. They feel slightly negative, though they are not extremely heavy for travel. The spring strap is top notch and I really like the whole build quality. I am sure these will be...
