    Pompano Beach Fatality Sunday April 16th

    We were fishing the area Friday May 5th and heard a radio call to the Coast Guard from the Black Pearl that they had a unresponsive diver and needed instructions, I believe they were met by fire rescue at a marina just inside the inlet. This was near the Rodeo 25 wreck, another dive boat...

    Wanted Steel High Pressure 120 Tanks

    I have a pair I'm considering selling. They have OMS H-Valves that are opposing sides so only need an isolator to make into double setup. They are out of hydro but both have air in them. I'm in West Broward County near I-75

    SeaSucker single tank holder

    Anyone using these for their SCUBA tanks? How do they hold up on choppy seas? I specifically want to use them on my Whaler so I don't have to drill holes. They need to hold HP steel 100 and 120s. The reason I want singles is so that I can better manage the load on the boat. SeaSucker 1-Tank...

    Is Ginnie Springs worth it if you aren't Cave or Cavern Certified?

    I think Ginnie is the perfect place for you and your family. Been there many times as an OW diver as well as a certified cavern diver and had as much fun as OW as cavern. Your non diving family will enjoy the swimming, tubing, hiking and canoeing, just to name a few.

    What are good/not as good SCUBA equipment brands?

    Here is my take on SCUBA gear when it comes to brands. I think there are a handful of companies that will manufacture certain equipment items for different brands. BCD's come to mind, although some companies will manufacture their own branded BCDs, I think the majority of the mainstream and...

    iPhone Dive Computer

    I think it looks like a great product that will definitely have a market. I wonder if it will be compatible with an iPod Touch, I would be kind of reluctant to take my iPhone underwater and risk the case leaking.

    what was the first dive gear you purchased?

    being I was 15 when I first got certified, my first purchase was my dive light. I got it right before my open water checkout dives. The next item was an entry level Sherwood regulator with a Tekna console and gauges. I remember getting the Tekna console because it had a space for a digital...

    HP 119 or 130

    I don't know if you are looking for HP or LP. I have 2 HP 120's that I have been thinking of selling. They both have OMS DIN 300 Bar H-valves on them, both are O2 cleaned for Nitrox, but both need to be hydro'd. I also have the bands to make them doubles if that is something you are considering...

    How to present scuba to 13 year old daughter without freaking her out...

    I think 13 years old is a great age for your daughter to start diving. I got certified at 15 and my son just got his certification at age 11. I would reiterate on others comments and say that you should take the course with her, since at least for the first couple of years you will need to be...

    OMS 300 bar Captured O-Ring Manifold isolator

    Thanks Bryan, I actually saw your auction on ebay and sent you a message. If it was the same valve as auction #130721878126, I think your response was that you were not sure if it was compatible with the 300 bar manifold since it had no markings. Congrats on the sale though, and I appreciate the...
