I can speak to Johan's on Baloy Beach. I have spent the last four weekends diving at Subic Bay. Johan's is very inexpensive. Its not a 5 star luxary Hilton, But for me the focus is on diving not where I lay my head at night. I would arrive friday night. Take two dives on Sat morning. Two dives...

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.318909900909.156457.558415909&type=3&l=14f4fd2504 some photos I took last fall while doing a "Whites" demo dive in the arena. Broke my heart to see it looking like that. Really strange being in the water looking into the sub while remembering being in...

Oh I don't know, maybe just all the derogatory comments about east texans all because one guy who changed his clothes in public had a bad experience. I think you just confirmed the point of my weak attempt at humor. Lighten up Francis.

Note to self. Don't make any dive buddies in Austin, where all the people are perfect.

I just picked up the machined aluminum framed flat lens from pursuit and all seems well except there is no o ring with it. I put some lube on the retainer ring and took it down last week for a test run and it didn't flood but it has me really nervous. Anybody have any trouble or got any input...

and I would report good conditions. 90 degree water with 10 to 15 vis. and around here this time of year you can usually expect some serious algae in the water with the heat and sun. They are attempting to curtail the algae by treating the water and using an aeration system. I don't know the...

That sounds like the guy! I was there the week of June 12th. I have decided I will never let an chance like that pass me up again. The next time I will shut his tank valve off and swim away!

I don't remember the exact details but the owner can fill you in. It was a system of algae treatments and several airation locations. The owner seemed to know a lot about the growing cycle of algae, and what to do to thwart it. Although when I was there in early 2010 it looked nothing like these...

I was out with a group from Houston doing a Deep Diver specialty. The owner of Windy Point said there was a church group that was having a friendly competition of who could swim to "Sometimes Island" and one of them did not make it. They didn't realize he was missing for almost an hour when they...

When I bought this HTS rig my LDS assured me that it was versatile and I could easily take it to the next level. I have about 25 dives with it now and have never been able to get good trim. I have the ditchable weight pockets. Again my LDS said "IF you want really good trim, you'll need to have...

It's called macdive2 It is the first software I have come accross that makes sense. It supports tons of different dive computers. If your computer is not on the supported devices list, you can send them a request and they will ask you for some specs and create the needed code to support your...

Dear Carribean Diver who's poo has no smell. I only say that for the dig on quarry/mudhole divers. We mudholers hear a phrase repeated over and over. "If you can dive here, you can dive any ware". We do not enjoy the blue warm water with the wonderful viz and abundant life often, but we use the...

I just got back from key largo and did a fair amount of shopping around, Dove with Ocean Divers, Sea Dwellers, and Horizon. What you will find is alot of dive shops who can book trips but they dont have boats. Instead they book trips on other shops boats. What you wanna do is find a shop that...

I have a Mares Dragon BC that has 22 dives on it. It has never seen salt water but was rinsed after every dive. It is an XL which I finally discovered is not big enough for me. All the original equipment is still on it. It does show some signs of wear on the plate that the tank rests on just...

I could be showing my ignorance "diving with a watch an tables is preffered"?? By who? Am I missing something. I get that there may be a scenario envolving technical diving in which diving the plan is critical but for rec diving?? Why limit your dive time or extend your surface interval if it...

It was not an equipment purchace. I came into the shop about 15 minutes before they closed and needed a tank fill for a dive the following morning. The girl behind the counter made her disgust in my late arrival apparent. Begrudgingly she took my tank and hooked it up. Little did I know that I...

Mares "Dragon" BC. My Instructor recomended a weight intergrated jacket BC. Until you try a few things you don't know what works for you. I am now in a Hollis wing and realize how uncorfortable jacket inflate system are. Now I am free to move about the cabin!

I hate to be ugly but I feel it is my duty to let my community know that Sport Divers is not the place you want to do your shopping. They prices are way too high and the service at their counter sucks. Been there twice and they are not good representitives of this sport or the kind of place that...

I was buying my first wetsuit as I just finished my OW and was now a diver. I went to a small shop run by a gentleman in his late 60s...translation "No time for funny business, ex-marine". Who assured me that he had suits with enough Xs to fit anyone. I think he was only interested in my buying...
