    Who to dive with in the Keys?

    I have had very good experiences with Horizon Divers in Key Largo. They are very professional and friendly. Captain Slate's Atlantis Dive Center, also in Key Largo, is also a good operator, but his boats are slower.

    how can I discard a tank from 86 in Ft. Lauderdale?

    I'll take it, I have 2 of the 6351 tanks and they are perfectly good. I have them eddy current inspected (vis+) every other year and my LDS is more than happy to vip and fill them. PM me and I will give you my FedEx number to ship them to the Great White North.

    10 years old scuba?

    My son was SSI certified this spring at age 10. We went to the Keys for his first ocean dives during Thanksgiving. We kept all dives under 30' (which isn't hard in the Keys). As long as you are responsible and conservative I don't see a problem with a 10 year old enjoying the sport.

    Computers with Diver-Replaceable Battery?

    I have a Sherwood Wisdom and a Genesis React Pro, both of them are user replaceable and I have done them several times. Like the previous poster mentioned use a little grease on the o-ring and it is simple. Batteries are about $1.00 on ebay

    I found a pair of Empirio Armani sunglasses this weekend. I checked ebay and found out they are going for $133. Not a bad morning dive.

    Advice required: first time diving in FL, where to go?

    I've dove with Parrot Island Scuba and South Florida Diving HQ. Both have boats at the inlet in Pompano Beach, and are excellent operators. You won't be disappointed with either one.

    underwater iPod?

    I think there is a legitimate and safe use for these devices, the Tech diving folks can catch up on their podcasts (pod diver radio, scuba radio, BTR, etc) while hanging on the line doing their deco stops.
