Is there a cheap GPS that I can take underwater while diving? NOT A GPS TO BE USED UNDERWATER. I only want to use it when I surface to get a bearing to my boat or shore entry point. I already have 2 Shearwaters, so I do not want to spend $$$ on a Descent. I did buy an underwater canister for...

Does anyone know info on the diver that passed away after surfacing from an Oriskany dive? I know his name and which local shop he is affiliated, but I don't want to mention until it is officially released in the news. I don't know any other details. R.I.P.

I'm heading to Myrtle Beach next weekend. I haven't heard much about the diving there, and if it was worth packing the tanks/gear for a day or two diving. The meg diving in Wilmington would be great, but it doesn't look like any regular charters are going out (I'm traveling solo). I'm going...

Looking for one or two divers to dive the historical Nazi submarine U-701. This is a challenging dive off Cape Hatteras. Our boat is a mix of advanced recreation and technical divers. We'll be diving the weekend of July 15-16. We need 2 more divers to fill the charter and lock in the U-boat -...

If anyone is interested in joining me, I'll be there on Monday and Tuesday with a 15ft rigid inflatable (70HP Yamaha powered). Boat would be no problem with 3-4 divers. I could bring it in close to the shore to pick anyone up, or meet at any nearby dock. I plan to ride it down from my hotel...

Going on my second Blackbeard's trip this Saturday. I last went in early November a couple years ago and the water temps were fine for a 3 mil. I plan to bring the 3 mil along again, but also packing the 2 mil hooded vest. Does anyone know what the water temps have been recently? Also...

I just stopped at the local AAA office. Their current exchange rate is .056 or 17.85 Mexican pesos to the US dollar. That seems pretty good compared to the sticky thread. Should I go with them now or wait until I get to Coz? They also waive their $12 fee if you get at least $500 (US)...

I ripped my ankle seal on my 30/30. Do you know where I can find a new seal? Also, do you do repairs in the shop? I have to fly out to San Diego next week. I could drop it of at the shop. Thanks, Steve

Am I missing something? Is there any way to upload or build a deco dive plan on the Nitek Q? I have been spending hours searching for a way. I can download my dives via Diving Log, but it seems like the workbench software allowed for some sort of deco planning. I cannot find anywhere to...

I just started a tec class (TDI Advanced Nitrox/Deco Procedures) and am in need of a 400' reel. As my regular reel jammed up on me rec diving in Jupiter a few months ago, I am looking for a good quality one that's less likely to tangle. Looking for recommendations... Thanks, Steve

I've been using my Tusa Platina for about 5 years with about 200 dives. I'm looking to replace it with something that can be configured with either a single or doubles; and, can grow with me as I start into some Tec courses. I prefer back mounted tanks as my preferences are more toward wrecks...

Has anyone swam with the manatees via kayak around the Crystal River area? I am planning to do a manatee swim later this week or next week. I was going to schedule a charter, but since I will have a kayak - maybe I'll just go myself. Does anyone know a good place to put in the water? I know...

I did a shore dive a year or two ago from the end of Alhambra Street, but came up empty. Maybe I didn't go far enough offshore. In any case, I'll be down again in the next couple weeks. This time, I plan to have my kayak. Would anyone be able to share some GPS coordinates for a good place to...

Are there any good places to kayak dive around the Tampa area +/- 50 or so miles? I'm driving down later this week for the holidays and planning to bring my Sevylor. Aside from the shark tooth diving in Venice (I'll start a new thread for that), I'm looking for cool places to check out. I'm...

My SL980 video light has flooded for the second time this year. After the first time, I thought it was the o-rings so I changed/cleaned/lubed them really good. Now, I think it has been flooding from the on/off button. Has anyone else had similar flooding problems there? Steve

1. Should I convert any American dollars to Bahamas money, or does everybody accept the US dollar in/around Nassau? 2. Are there pharmacy chains like CVS or Walgreens where I can stock up on liveaboard items like Dramamine, aspirin, toothpaste etc? T-9 days till Nassau T-12 till...

Looks like they just found the Nazi U-576 along with a freighter it torpedoed in the battle... NOAA team discovers two vessels from WWII convoy battle off North Carolina Does anyone know exactly where and how deep this thing is?

I just bought one of these. They are similar to the GoPros. Has anyone gone diving with theirs yet? They look really well made and the dive housing is rated for 100 meters. I bought mine for the price, the larger battery capacity and the 16MP still pictures that it takes. I can't wait to try it...

I have some vacation time I need to use up. I am thinking about going to Nassau during the week of Veterans Day (November 11). I plan to take Southwest (2 x 50 pound bags fly free) so Nassau is the only Bahamas destination - cannot go wrong for a non-stop roundtrip from BWI costing $99 plus a...

I just updated to this new firmware. Wow, it changes the unit a lot....in a good way Having to press only one button at a time (instead of two simultaneously) makes things so much easier. I also really like the procedure test modes. Some confusion though: The manual does not talk much about...
