It is a make-do hack if it is not prescribed by the manufacturer.

I get why you don't think it necessary, but why would you not take it anyway? I have never found that a wrist computer gets in the way.

I have a SeaSkin Nova - trilam.

Does anyone here have any experience with this as a base layer? Ultrawarmth base layers - BARE Wetsuits and Drysuits I have a 150g SeaSkin thinsulate jumpsuit I want to give a boost to. I have thin merino wool undergarments I wear skiing, but as I said I am looking for a bit of a boost.

So here's the scoop: First off, thanks for all the feedback. After getting into my hotel yesterday afternoon, I spent some time calling around. JDC had nobody booked, which I thought telling. I called Narcosis and they are closed for the week. My next call was E Force, thinking that they would...

Current forecast shows 2-4 ft seas with 5 second interval and 15 kt winds for Tuesday. Doesn't sound great.

I have been out with JDC once before and have a favorable view of them. May 2014, a stop on my way to a 20 dive week in Key Largo :) I even still have their website bookmarked LOL.

As a finance guy, I'll throw this out there: if the captain and his boat is otherwise unoccupied, any amount in excess of variable costs (gas, any crew wages) is a net benefit. Docking fees, insurance and the like are expenses that don't change whether you go out or not. So anything in excess of...

54 for the year, 23 of those on trips and 31 locally. I generally average 50 or so a year. My current total is 438, all rec diving, with a goal of breaking 500 this year. I have trips lined up for Roatan in February, Tobermory in August, and Indonesia in October. My other goal is to do more...

I am going to be in Boca / Deerfield Beach the week of the 13th. I have the opportunity to do a 2 tank on the morning of the 14th with a co-worker. He is only OW with about 45 dives and it has been a year and a half since his last dive. So we are limited to easier sites / dives. I did a web...

I just received a message from a mutual friend about this. Sad to hear. I hope he can be found.

I have not done it myself, but so long as you do it below the cut out to the main river there should be no real current to contend with.

Some people swim across the inner canal and walk up the north shore during the summer rather than drop a vehicle or do the long walk.

Lock 23 is 1KM dock to dock. Jumping in upstream and including the tin plate factory will give you a longer walk. Edit: Actually I am lying. Just checked Google, 650m from the ramp at the public dock to the dock at the beach using the path.

I have only been diving since 2010, with 2012 being my first dive in the river. I can certainly say that the vis has decreased in that time. Sad to say that even through this small window you can clearly see the deterioration of the Conestoga as well.

Advice best ignored. Anybody who fills tanks with moist air is to be avoided at all costs.

My dry suit ships in a couple of weeks... that was my first thought as well, wish I had it so I could jump in.

Awesome. I have never seen that kind of visibility on that dive.

Have you determined what was the cause of your anxiety on that initial problem dive? Was it the dry mouth?

My answer is not based on the math. If someone is asking what they should do, they can't be relied on to do or understand the math - or they wouldn't be asking. It is safer IMO to not create an expectation in their mind that the no fly time is optional. There is a risk that they will consider...
