ALL TANKS HAVE SOLD. Thanks to everyone who indicated interest! I have 3 AL80s and 2 HP100s that I'm looking to sell locally in the DC Metro area. Tanks are in good shape but most of my diving has been while traveling so I figure they'll get more love from someone who's doing more local...

Anyone local interested in doing some shore dives in or around Kona next week? I'll be in town and would enjoy meeting up with some locals for a couple of easy shore dives. Having a buddy for a black water dive would be pretty great too.

So we're headed to Monterey next month and I have a lot of neoprene that I'd like to use to make suits for the kids. So far I've been making neoprene vests and shirts with spandex side panels and sleeves so no need for gluing. With real full suits, however, I'd like to glue the seams as...

Anyone planning to do the BHB night dive with Force E this Wednesday? In town and was hoping to hook up with some folks to do a couple of shore dives and wanted to do this one as well. And what happened to the BHB trolls thread?!

We've got an upcoming trip to West Palm and I'm planning to take the family to BHB. Other than that, though, are there any other "protected" areas that would be good for snorkeling? The kids are 4 and 7 and not super strong swimmers, yet, and my wife is not comfortable in the ocean. Are there...

I've been thinking lately about getting some freediving fins for use on scuba and in the pool, just for leg workouts. Any recommendations of decent starter freediving fins that isn't from 5-8 years ago like all the threads I've found in my searches?

The new format seems to have a couple issues though, generally, I like it. Under the username you used to be able to edit whatever that said. Mine currently says "divemaster candidate" for some reason (I have no intention of ever becoming a divemaster) and I can't find a way to edit that under...

50th birthday trip for my brother. In the "ideas" stages of planning so I'm looking for suggestions. The realistic budget is about $1500-$3k US per person, traveling from the mid-atlantic region of the USA. This may or may not include hotel costs, depending upon when (and where) we travel...

I've recently started thinking about a "tropical" drysuit like the DUI 30/30 and it got me to thinking that I can definitely make one for less than the DUI. Buying polyurethane laminate material or even a gortex material isn't especially expensive (Maybe $100 for enough material to make a suit...

Considering buying a "tropical" dry suit and figured since DRIS has a great price on the Fusion One backzip how it would fair as a warm water/travel drysuit. My TLS350 is great and actually pretty practical as a travel suit but if I can get something that packs even smaller for a reasonable...

My searches aren't pulling anything up so I am resorting to this post, which I'm sure is as redundant as possible. We're looking at possibly being in Playa in late July and I'm trying to decide what gear to bring. At most I'll get one day of diving with the need for an instabuddy. More likely...

Another post got me thinking about fills in FLL. I have had mixed results getting fills in the FLL and West Palm areas and figured I'd ask the locals where I can get the most consistent 3000 psi AL80s or 3500 psi HP100 fills in those areas.

My brother and I have an upcoming trip and we'll be diving with Quiescence for three days out of Largo. One day we're planning to do some deep(er) dives and they mentioned both the Duane and Spiegel Grove as options. I don't know a lot about either except that they both can get some strong...

So my coworker has been asking me about some tanks he recently picked up at a yard sale. Pics attached: Tank markings as follows: ICC3AA1800 K90937 USD 4CL68+ ICC3AA1800 K91184 USD 4CL68+ Steel tanks born in April 1968 last hyrdo'd in 1980 with a service rating of 1800+10%, is...

I set up a profile on spearboard and activated my account but can't post or upload pics or anything other than lurk. I've sent a message to the admins but nothing back so far. Anyone know if they just take a while to "catch up" to new accounts and allow posting?

Thought of another question. Any good spearfishing book recommendations? Howto books, "fishin' story" books (It was THAT big), fish ID for hunters, that kind of thing. A search of SB turned up bupkis in the first few pages of threads for me.

I posted this in the Florida forum as well but I'm looking for Fort Lauderdale instructor recommendations for spearing on scuba (as opposed to free diving). Anyone have any suggestions?

My brother and I will be in Fort Lauderdale for a few days this spring as we move up the coast from the keys back home. We're both interested in doing some spearfishing and would like to find if there are any classes or reputable instructors who teach spearfishing on scuba (as opposed to free...
