Great pic's as usual, and somebody definitely needs to whack that lionfish. The silver side photos look great, I always enjoyed diving the Benwood when they were around.

I am three weeks out of ankle and calf surgery and I still have the steri strips on the incision on my ankle. As much as I would like to get in the water, there is no way I could without a serious risk of infection. If I was going to try it, I would keep it covered and medicated while diving...

My wife and I usually try to hit KL six or seven times a year, we have had hit and miss weather on a lot of trips but I would say we have had the best weather in June or July. We also head down a lot from the end of August into the first few weeks of January due to we have Dolphins Tix. It...

The sailing course was ASA sponsored course, I checked the book I got with the course and it has one page about flags and a couple sentences about a dive flag, including the international flag, and how far to stat away. We spent a lot more time discussing charts and no sail zones due to the...

I am not sure what the law is in FL, but in Maryland you are required to take a safe boating course. My wife and I did it when we took sailing lessons, even though it was geared for power boats. From both the training courses, I recall all types of info on flags and right of way for boaters...

I do about 30 dives a year in South Florida, I have never been asked about the lift capacity. My wife has a travel bcd that is less than 30#, and I just sold my AL Dimension BCD and switched over to a UTD bp/w setup with a 23# wing. All that really matters is if the wing has the capacity for...

Great pics, especially like the head on turtle shot. Mike

Awesome photos. Is that your normal camera setup? The colors/strobes seem a lot brighter.

My wife and I are headed back down to Fl, and we were planning to dive the bridge Jan. 4-6th. We have dove the bridge before, but I was wondering if Wed. the 6th may be too late to dive. The tide table I was looking at has high tide at 5:25 pm. When we were down earlier this month, it was...

Thanks for the update, I have seen only a few spanish hogs in KL versus the hogfish. I always would usually see a couple of hog's while diving Molasses, but I was just in the Cayman's in August and saw quite a few and they were at least twice the size. I guess that is when I started to...

Great photos as always, I really like the Spanish Hog. They are one of my favorites, not to eat, but to photograph. I believe they recently banned spearing them in FL, so it will be interesting to see if the numbers/size increase. Mike

Definitely do them both. We just got back from the Cayman's in August and the locals said the conditions have been off this summer, vis was still 80-100 ft. The patch work reefs in KL are in better shape than the Cayman's, even with the bleaching, and you have the wrecks. I would also suggest...

Really impressive macro shots!

We just returned from the Cayman's, shore diving all week. Surface temp was 96F, heat index of 108, but the water temp was 84F. There were people diving in 5mm wet suits??? Locals were complaining the diving was off this summer with cooler water and poor vis. It looked and felt great to me...

Thanks for clarifying, that camera has some serious resolution.

Not a clue what pic #4 is, but it is an awesome shot. Mike

I have the Dimension i3, the back inflate version and the harness system was the selling point for me. I have back issues at times, and the harness is much more comfortable. It distributes the weight better than traditional systems in my opinion, I was diving the Pro LT jacket previously. I...

I have been diving the Dimension i3 for nearly 75 dives, and I love it. My main reason for buying it was the harness, I was using an AquaLung Pro LT jacket previously. I did not like the fit of the jacket and wanted a back inflate. I asked some instructors I knew about the i3, and they had...

Had to look them up out of curiosity, and the article actually said to put them back in the water if they wash up (if you believe the internet). They must taste awful since the seagulls aren't after them. Unusual sea hares spotted in Fla. waters - AOL.com

I switched from Volo's to Hollis F2's, they were 3# lighter and could fit in a carry-on size bag. I dive in some surge and current in Key Largo a lot, especially in the late fall and winter when the conditions are tougher. I like the feel of the F2's but they did not pack enough punch for me...
