    Diving with all your accessories

    I like tools, and I am very safety conscious. I have lots of accessories. I've never dove with all of them at once though. Different dives require different tools. This is what I have, what dives I bring it for, and where I put it. I dive a Zeagle Ranger LTD, so I have more options than most...

    my dive flag

    Here in FL it's the law and the FWC does enforce it's use. we do lots of drift dives, and the flag is easier to see than just bubbles so the boat driver can follow and stay close in an effort to kind of shield the divers from other traffic. boaters might run over a flag, but they are much less...

    my dive flag

    I hate towing the dive flag, but I have found a few simple things that work ok for me to make it just slightly less painful. i thought i'd share. first issue I had was extra line coming off the holder while swimming around, I fixed this with a boltsnap. I keep one end clipped to the holder and...

    DIN v. Yoke! Fight!

    I have my own regs and my own tanks. I use yoke. I live and dive in FL. I prefer DIN in theory, but yoke is so much more widely accepted. I can rent tanks no problem if I need too, and all of my dive buddies have yoke regs so they can use my tanks. all the o-ring problems I've had have...

    Got my OW cert, but SOB!

    As far as arm sweeps go, It can be kind of tricky. This is what seemed to work for me. Start with arm fully extended at your right side, lean to the right, and then sweep your arm behind you brushing the right side of your tank as you go up. Like someone already mentioned, octo holders are hit...

    What to do with cell phone and wallet?

    I had a couple copies made onto non-chip blanks. They can't start the car but they will unlock the doors. I lock the chipkey in the car and stash a non-chip key in my BC or wetsuit.

    Docking a Sailboat at an Offshore Platform?

    I don't really think they can stop you from fishing or diving around the rigs, they could prevent you from tying up to them though. Generally I've heard that they don't mind it, fishermen have been tying up to rigs for decades now. The bottom of the gulf is sandy and flat, any kind of...

    Would you dive Vortex now????

    I've gone swimming in a reservoir that a fisherman had allegedly drowned in. Apparently they sent in dive teams but were unable to locate the body due to the fact that the lake is very big and like 150' deep. I was in the water up to my neck when someone told me this story and I was kinda...

    DIY Submersible LED Flashlight

    I'd be curious to actually see what brands/models of flashlights this has worked with and too what depths. I went to the home depot website but I couldn't find any LED flashlights that were 3 for $10 like the ones used in the video.
