I just try and not be the reason my buddy /group needs to start ascent. Keep good trim, efficient use of energy, gear squared away, good use of gas, right thermal protection, etc... So I guess I am competing with my buddy / group to outlast them.
The diving I do is 50-90 feet drift diving in west palm area with a dm dragging the flag. i would be on 34% or 36%
If this happened to me I would continue the dive and stick to my buddy. I would start ascent a couple 100 more psi than normal. My ndl is much longer than how long my air would...
Yes assuming you have a reg and a mask. Or mask and snorkel.

Could you get away with it? Possibly. Also the requirement is to be within 100 feet of a flag. On a weekend at high tide I don't think you can get more than 50 feet of a dive flag if you wanted...
Do you have a max depth you don't want exceed? Generally Jupiter is a little deeper than West Palm. West Palm is just a few exits further with lots of 45-60 foot reefs. Jupiter is probably 80-95 or so.
I am central FL and want to head down to the keys and do some diving. Key Largo area is the plan.
I would just be driving down so I only need about 3 days lead time to head down. How do you predict sea conditions in Key Largo 3-4 days out? For West Palm and Jupiter I use magicseaweed but the...
I have mares puck and do not have to change the setting between dives. I for most part always dive 36% and never touch it. Set it for 36 and leave it alone.

I was under the west bridge about 10 minutes before the medics arrived and the current was ripping. I was almost in front of life guard tower when help arrived and i didnt see the victim at all. Viz was pretty good water was about 80 but current was strong at that time.
25-30ft and 80 degrees last evening. Was very nice. Lots of students or discover scuba out so at times 2 foot viz. :-)

My dives are south florida drift dives. Palm beach mostly. I dive with a pocket snorkel and so far never taken it out of my pocket. I am not surface swimming against 2 knots boat can come get me. In 3-5 foot waves I have been fine with no snorkel bobbing around. Just face into them and when they...
I booked morning and afternoon dives with Conch Republic for Friday the 25th. Probably go with a group in Marathon for Sat morning. Doing Conch wall in the morning and TBD Reef in the afternoon. I will give them a call making sure I can fill tanks between dive vs. drag 4 extras down there...
Going to a wedding in the keys this month. Wedding is Sat the 26th at Hawks Kay. We have a hotel on Marathon. We will get there Thursday Night. Plan is do 4 dives/ tanks on Friday and then 2 on Sat before the wedding. Any recommendations are welcome.
We have all our own gear to include tanks...
Five us are heading to the bridge. Hoping for the best. Worse case out gas money. Glad I didn't book a boat for $300. :-)
