As others have said, Pura Vida and Walker's Dive Charters are the only two operations in the whole area doing black water dives. Pura Vida goes out on Monday, Thursday and Saturday. Force E uses Walker's operation, which goes out generally on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday. The actual mechanics of...

Thanks, yes, I changed the setting and it fixed the error on the computer display. Last night's dive also logged correctly. As you suspected, it did not fix the error on the prior dive's log, but that is fine. Thanks for the reply!

I found it - under T1 setup you set the tank rating. Hopefully that will fix both issues. Thanks

Last night for the first time I dove with a steel 100CF tank. The PSI was 3400 and was in red on the display, though it functioned correctly. After the dive I am unable to access the log information for that dive - I am getting a message "error loading dive." I suspect the two are related and...

If anyone lost a weight pocket on the west side today, it is at Force E :)

These are Flabellina dushia, page 238 in the Caribbean Sea Slugs book. Used to be very common, this year not so much. For some reason, there are only a few around now. They feed on hydroids and the hydroids have been dying off.

Both these items have been sold.............. Linda

Yes, this is an Umbraculum umbraculum, a kind of sea slug. It is quite rare at the bridge - great find! Here is a link to another one found there: Umbraculum umbraculum (Lightfoot, 1786) Atlantic Umbrella Slug Here is the link from the Sea Slug Forum, even though all the references on it are...

Hi, I don't post very often, and when I do it is usually about nudibranchs. But I photographed the long lure frogfish yesterday and it has a damaged chin, and a milky eye. I think it is time to leave the poor thing alone...... On the same note, this week on the east side I have seen a puffer...

Yesterday vis was about 20 feet until slack tide then it dropped considerably, to about 10 feet. Linda

Vis today was good, at least 25 feet, maybe 30. Looked awesome from the pilings, but was less when you got out south of the bridge on the west side. Temperature 74 degrees. Linda

Interesting, the purple eggs (the middle image) are from Cypraecassis testiculus (Linnaeus, 1758) Reticulate Cowrie-helmet. I tracked a set for a while in 2013 and the results are logged here: Cypraecassis testiculus (Linnaeus, 1758) Reticulate Cowrie-helmet At that time they hadn't been seen...

Hi, Jenny. Your "to be identified" nudi is a Cerberilla tanna, page 276 in the Caribbean Sea Slugs book. I have seen several of them recently, and they are so photogenic with their sharp eye spots. Linda

Hi, Scuba_Jenny, your "unidentified nudi" is a Learchis poica, page 256 in the Caribeean Sea Slugs book. Regards, Linda

Thanks, that is the first place we checked, but no luck. I know people who find things are frequently nice enough to turn them in to Force E :)

Did anyone find a pair of Scuba Pro booties on the west side this morning? A friend left hers on the sidewalk after the night dive last night and sure would like to get them back ..... Thanks, Linda

It is a Magnificent Urchin, Astropyga magnifica, page 379 in the Humann/DeLoach Reef Creature book (2nd edition). The book says it is rare and prefers deep-water habitats, but has been seen a couple of times at the bridge......

It is worse than the bad divers! And very discouraging that he is teaching his students it is okay to molest the sea life like this........... :(

Wow - video from John - excellent! And yes, I can't believe you don't have a snowstorm based on the conditions..... I was surprised too by the lack of sand spots in some of my images.
