I have no kayak diving recommendations in the Tampa Bay area, but will disagree that there is not good diving on the west coast, in our area. I get that I am responding to posts on the order of a decade old. Photos taken 4-19 miles offshore out of Clearwater. Normal trips, these are not...

I have had a Cobalt 2 for about six years. Intermittent problems. Played the button magnet game a few times. Had a few issues of pressing a button and the unit freezes up a couple of times. This morning I got a flashing SENSOR ERROR yellow bar at the top of the display that will not clear. The...

Hearsay alert. . . I have a friend/ fellow instructor who works for a local dive op who was personally involved with the search and recovery. He relates that the reporting on this is grossly inaccurate. The site is incorrect as are the details of the search and recovery. And the Freebird was the...

Where is this area "The Pub" I have seen reference to in multiple places on SB? Thanks

Dang. Still holding out hope for a positive outcome, good luck to the searchers today.

What kind of depth are we talking about, 12 nm SW of Pensacola Beach?

I have dived with manatees many times at Hospital Hole. And that area is frequently monitored by FWC/ LE. Making sure you have a dive flag, etc. Never have I seen any action taken for diving there. It is not a very large hole so divers being in close proximity to the Manatees when they are...

Very well said, I agree with this completely. After reading the original sub-thread post I could put together in my head a probable "why" it elicited the pale response from the boat based on real dive briefings I have received repeatedly on boats, but the response of the boat is in poor taste.

"Two dive boats approached headed north after their dives, I assume. " So yep, I did. He suggested in one sentence "dive boats" and "after dives.' Good advice, though.

Yep. A boater, a Navy vet, and a diver.

Did not the post say they 'waved' down a commercial dive boat? In that context I also supposed that the boat changed course thinking that the divers were in distress to render assistance, but when the divers descended the operator took offense that they were exercised for nothing. Most...

Local media is reporting it is a free-diving accident.

Simply saw a story out locally this morning and thought SBville would be interested to see the thread is newly spinning on this one. Civil suit. Being a Tampa Bay resident and diver, this one has been "above average interesting" to me-- supposed up until now it was medical, gas, or equipment...

Lawsuit: Husband drowned wife off Madeira Beach, framed it as accident

It is Thursday, October 11. Anyone out there have a timely report on diving in the vicinity of Jupiter Inlet within about 5 miles south of that datum? Thanks in advance!

What's the title of the book?

Hi, I have a Cobalt 2 as well-- bought it about 16 months ago. About a week ago the enter button started working only intermittently-- about 1 out of every 4 attempts works. Unit serial number is 0914-0496. Is replacement of the keypad something I need to send the unit back to the factory to...

The initial article (only article I have been able to find, no updates yet) was basically an immediate release-- "Something bad happened, no details." I live in the Tampa Bay area and have met many local divers even if only for a morning trip and so I am concerned, first and foremost, on a...

Has anyone found a more amplifying report than this one? It has been out there for about 12h with no update and I have not been able to find anything elsewhere more updated. Diver dies after suffering heart attack off Clearwater Beach-- Diver dies after suffering heart attack off Clearwater Beach
