Is there any new info on Lion Fish hunting in Curacao ? Have pole spear, will travel.

Overkill never killed anybody I know. Will not hurt a thing to use it. IMHO

Found the answer. Burp the lens.

I just started using my new M52 air lens. My question is do you screw it on before or after becoming submerged ? I found several "spots" on some shots that I assumed were bubbles.

I have your same set up. The above posts should get you right. You didn't mention if you had it set on a "scene" setting or not. The " fill in" flash is easy to overlook.

Raced tri's for 10 years. 2 Ironman finishes. If your training schedule is not consistant, one more day will not make a difference. If it is good, one day missed will not matter as well. Plan you dive days as your "rest" days that should be in your schedule.

I am also waiting for details. Saw where several people reported on CG radio transmissions. Seemed to be around the meg ledge. So sad

Part of the problem is, we don't know what we don't know. Meaning, a number of us are walking around with no history of a cardiac condition for example until it hits us between the eyes. As our diving population gets older, these conditions become more pronounced. I am a prime example. 61...

On a recent dive in Punta Cana I ask to analyze my tanks. After over hearing a couple of employees question this I was allowed to do so. 3 tanks of 32% registered from 25 to 27%. These dives were shallow and could have been done with air but they had no issue wanting to charge me for Nitrox.

Great info. We will be looking to get out and around a bit. Didn't want to stay only at IB. Actually not doing the all inclusive thing at all. Just a place to stay that satisfied several masters.

I am up for a ledge dive in April. Nice thing about April and May diving is sometimes you can still get that west to north west wind that makes everything slick calm. Of course, if it is that calm I guess I will just go out on my boat. I know a really nice 10 foot ledge in a hard bottom area...

What side scan unit are you using ? I just got a 7612 Garmin but haven't had time to play with it yet. Obviously you have. Need to pick your brain I think.

I am planning a trip in June and have made reservations at this location. I am now looking for any and all info I can get on the area within walking distance. Didn't want to be limited to the AI offered at the resort so looking for food and watering holes. Also, how do people get around if...

Hey Slugger, I would like to jump in on some of that action. I have been diving off Topsail the 7 or so years. From GSO but with a house in Hampstead I get down as often. My dive partner had to give it up a couple of years ago about the same time I was between houses that way. Now with a new...

Dove Punta Cana Jan 2019. Not very exciting but didn't want to take a day to go to the other side. Mine was not a dive trip and I didn't have high expectations going in. Dressel Divers did a good job though.

Going to Cuba next Jan on a cruise. Not sure about ports but plan to dive a couple of days if possible. Keep the reports coming.

As Steve said above, I have "shot" my SMB using just a bit of drag from my thumb on the line.. Also use it to find my way back to the anchor line when spearfishing in the maze created by our artificial reefs in NC. Turn around twice and every concrete pipe or debris pile looks the same. Makes...

I dive a 19 cf pony attached to the side of my tank. Yes, I can tell it is not balanced but I have done it that way for so long that I have gotten use to it. I am typically spearfishing and having it behind me works well. I don't travel with it. Everyone has opinions here so here is mine. 1...

When you get there, pick up the book " Dive Guide Bonaire". Worth every penny. Tells you about entry and exit points as well as the dive. Dove for a week, never the same dive twice ( except at our house reef at Sand Dollar) never used a boat. Salt Pier is easy from shore, as was the Hooker, 1000...

I had a BCD failure a few years ago diving solo. I wrote about my " learning experience" in the "I learned about diving" section. My BCD would not hold air due to a crack in the inflator hose connection. After realizing what was happening, I quickly checked my gas level and knew that I had...
