A lot has changed since I made my last dive light. I'm currently thinking about building a light around an LED MR16 bulb like this one. Green Creative 40811 - 7.7 Watt - LED - MR16 - 4000K And using a lithium battery, possibly a 26650. Also my plan would be to get away from the canister. If I...

We are looking at coming to Dominican Republic this winter. I've heard that the diving is not very good in Punta Cana, so I was looking at the south side. I checked out the La Romana area, which seems to be better diving, but I keep hearing reports that the water on the beach is brown from a...

Hi guys, We are going to be in the Destin area next week. We are planing to dive Morison and Vortex. Are there any other dive sites you would recommend, be it ocean or fresh? We are trying to keep it within a day trip from our hotel. Thanks, Steve

Does anyone have GPS coordinates for the dive sites in Curacao? Thanks, Steve

My Suunto Cobra computer locked up on my 2nd dive the other day. As I was descending I noticed that the depth was not changing. This happened once before and was resolved by taking the battery out and then replacing it. This time it is reading 10’ on the surface, and appears to be reading 10’...

We had a good time diving Norfork last week. We got there just as all the storms were coming in. During the week, the lake rose 30 feet. The vis had been very good just before we got there, but started to drop in the run off areas. We did get several dives near the dam with about 30’ of vis...

We are considering going to Curacao next December and staying at Breezes. We would appreciate any advice people have that have been there. For starters, what is the best way to handle the dives? Boat, bus, rental car, shore dive on house reef, etc.?

We are thinking about diving Lake Havasu next spring. Does anyone know what kind of temps and vis we might find in April or May? Thanks, Steve

Check out this news report. The Branson Bell was blown onto the shore during a dinner cruise Saturday evening. All 600+ passengers had to spend the night on the boat while awaiting rescue. U.S. Coast Guard Investigates Showboat Grounding - OzarksFirst.com

I was cleaning and changing the o-rings in my Genesis Recon inflator, and found that I could not disassemble the top valve housing. Does anyone know how to take it apart, or is it not serviceable?

Has anyone dove Table Rock recently? Just wondering what the vis is like.

I just tried this mr-16 bulb in my light head. It's pretty bright for a 5 watt bulb, but not as bright as my halogen 35 watt. Has anyone had any better luck with LED bulbs? Piraeus II MR-16 LED Light Bulb (5-Watt) : Value : LED Light Bulbs

We are going to Fantasy Island in October and I have a few questions. I'll start with this one. How well are the boat dives scheduled around the meal times? Do you have time eat, or are you rushed?

I'm thinking about switching regulators to something more user friendly. I've heard that Dive Rite will sell parts directly to consumers. Is this the best reg for the do-it-yourselfer, or are there others to consider.

We just got back from a trip to Norfork Lake. We rented a very nice dive pontoon boat from Jordan Marina, which made for a very comfortable dive trip. It even had a changing room on board. Dan and Denise treated us great, and we really appreciated it. They took time to tell us about all the...

We dove Haigh on Friday and Saturday, before the memorial celebration. I found the vis to be better than they posted. I measured it with a line and I would call it about 25' all around on Friday. On Saturday the shallow side drop some with all the students, but still not bad diving. Also of...

Anyone have a recent report on Haigh conditions? We are heading up for Friday and Saturday. I've heard that there is an alge bloom going on. Their web site is still reporting great vis, but I suppose it's not true. Like to hear from someone who has been there. Thanks, Steve

I'd like to remind everyone about posting their dive conditions at this site. Midwestmuckdiving We can really help each other if we all take a moment to post a quick condition report here. This is a quick one stop glance at a lot of Mid West dive sites. With all the lakes and...

I just had some ss screws corrode read bad on my alum dive light head. Has anyone tried the corrosion compound used for alum to copper wiring for this purpose? Or does some other lubricant work good?

How's the vis at Pennyroyal. I may be coming down this weekend. Thanks,
