    Strobes for Blue Heron Bridge

    Bhb has tons of macro if you know where and what to look for. If vis is good, there's some cool WA stuff under the East bridge. Most ppl are there for macro.

    Wanted DSS Extra-Long Pattern Backplate - The mystical unicorn

    Reviving a zombie thread. I randomly found one at my LDS last week. I thought it was a long but it's longer than my dss long, so it must be an extra long.

    No. As Jaan mentioned, they plan to do something with the playground, but the only evidence of this is a sign.

    Trip Report Florida keys reef report{Molasses reef 4-7-24

    I may need to book a Molassess reef dive because my last trip to Key Largo was extremely disappointing. It was some of the worst reef I've ever seen and made me never want to return.

    Question Florida folks: What's your cold threshold?

    The shorter the dive, the easier it is to tolerate. A few weeks ago, water temp was 74 but coming off the ledge from the east was 67 degrees. I was not prepared for 67 degrees and was freezing. I tolerated it for 45 minutes. We took the boat a few miles south and were happy to be back in 74...

    Question Florida folks: What's your cold threshold?

    You've learned to manage it over time whereas the OP is new. I wouldn't question if you could hang, but I'm pretty sure the OP would struggle to stay underwater on a single dive that long in a shorty in 72 degree water. Either the newer diver is moving too much and runs out of air or shivering...

    Question Florida folks: What's your cold threshold?

    For me it depends on my dive profile. Am I doing a shallow long macro photography dive or a shorter drift/hunting dive? 84+ I wear a skin regardless 80-83 Sharkskin gear, maybe a hood on longer dives 77-79 3mm with sharkskin or lavacore on long dives or just a sharkskin and hood for shorter...

    Question Florida folks: What's your cold threshold?

    And dives become longer and the longer you're exposed to the temperature, the more you'll feel it.
