    Diving incident at Eagles Nest Sink

    Kristi, Thank you for posting the link to Peacock's wife's gofundme. Pat and I met about 12 years ago as instructors at the same dive shop. He was an amazing person, instructor, and diver. I can't believe it is him on the news. He is the last diver I would have ever imagined would die in a...

    Fatality off Pensacola - Read and learn

    I would just like to add, I'm really not trying to be rude, but that PADI does say that dives over 100' or any dive that comes within 3 pressure groups of an NDL require a safety stop. If their max depth was 102', then the donor was acting responsible for himself, and making sure he got his...

    Advice for Online Scuba-Store? Scuba.com, LeisurePro? ... other? sponsors?

    SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL DIVE SHOP. Seriously, if you think you can get a better deal online, you might... BUT your local store can set it up for you and help you should you come across any issues. Small shops keep scuba going by certifying divers...is the store that certified you good enough to give...

    Aqualung Pro LT

    The Pro LT is a great jacket style BC. It has everything you need at a good price point. It does not have a ton of bells and whistles, but it is certainly not lacking. We sell a lot of them and have them in our rental locker. We trust them enough to put our students in them. :)

    Used gear that I saw for sale

    Balanced is better dude..I wouldn't buy that. I wouldn't pay anything for any of that gear. Watch out for used gear and remember that you really, really should have it serviced by someone who knows what they are doing before you take it in the water. This costs money on top of the money you...

    Recommendations for Travel BC

    PS- While the Balance is not the technical wing like these guys have mentioned, it is still back inflate. This is why it will fit into a carry-on with no problems (my husband wore his for everything including travel and we ALWAYS carry-on our gear..;)) It really is a good bet.

    Recommendations for Travel BC

    Seaquest Balance. I dove the Libra *the women's version of the Balance* as my travel BC for the longest time and have recently traveled with the Zuma (didnt have a problem, I actually really liked it). That being said, I loved my Libra. Super comfortable, super durable and packed well.

    Spiegel Grove details

    I also dove it several times while on it's side and several times upright. The plaque that used to sit at 55' with the scrub brush is now not very exciting. The propellers are now a little more difficult to see and both are obviously quite a bit deeper. That being said, things are more easily...

    Your Regulator of Choice?

    I love my AL's they have never let me down. My favorites have been the Legend and now the Apex Flight- because of the diving I do, they are perfect. I 100% can tell the difference between the two.

    Apeks Flight Regulator

    I have a flight, I love it. Not just because its pink. Coming from a Legend, it does breathe a bit stiffer but certainly nothing that would make me send it back. I was not a superfan of the hose attachment. I feel it is unnecessary and if "the unlikely event" should occur, you could be S.O.L...

    Safety Sausage

    The kind that you have to "blow-up" at depth are generally not that terrible to deal with! It just takes some practice, and you never fully drop your reg, its just like taking your reg out to blow bubble rings...or smile for the camera..not difficult, just takes some practice to become...

    Tipping?

    We give $5 a tank per diver We make sure to tip after every boat ride, since the crew is likely to change. We give more for awesomeness and bring treats if they are especially good to us. I have only skimped on this once when I was really irked at the crew's attitude!

    Fort Lauderdale dive

    I like Parrot Island out of Pompano, good charter. That would be my tip, get on a boat! One of my favorites is called the 5 wreck trek, you drift dive on 5 wrecks all connected by markers. I also like the Mercedes and the 2 and 3rd reefs. There is some shore diving off of the Commercial Pier...

    West Palm Beach - NEXT WEEK!

    Blue Heron Bride is delightfully WEIRD. Frogfish, baby octos, flying gurnard, scorpionfish, seahorses, LOVE that 8 feet of goodness. Have fun. It may not be the right season, but I've been out of Riviera Marina on the Narcosis (SUNK!) and been on crazy fast current drift dives and seen so many...
