I was on facebook earlier and stumbled upon a post asking for advice on a dive destinaion for a woman to take her two sons who were recently certified. One of the comments shocked me, it stated: "Remember-- you are only supposed to dive in the same waters you were trained in!!!! If they didn't...

Took my first spearfishing trip with Reel1up charter out of Naples Fl. Took 3 sheepshead between 2 dive sites. I feel like it was a pretty productive first spearfishing trip. Now to start freshwater spearing in the lakes and river up here :D

I just got back from a week of vacation in Fort Myers Beach, I did 2 dives with a charter and 1 solo shore dive. I quickly realized how frustrating it was carrying 5 different items (Main gearbag, Save a dive box, tanks, polespear,and weights). As soon as I got back I went straight to Home Depot...

I'm brand new to spearfishing, I just bought an 80inch pole spear last week. I'm headed to Fort Myers beach this upcoming Friday and need some advice so I'll make a list 1) Is there going to be anything I can get from a shore dive or do I need to charter a boat? 2) I spoke with Reel 1 up and I...

I was using an Oceanic data plus (will be for sell tomorrow) but was looking around and came across a Suunto vyper with protective housing, usb tether, and program for $100. I bought it, replaced the battery, took it home and tried to hook it to my 10" laptop mini. I downloaded the DM4 software...

I found this company called Fronta dive lights through a Gopro forum, I started to look and noticed how relatively cheap they were so I figured I'd give them a shot. Light came in today and it seems really really well put together. IMO its an awesome light. I'll take it for a dive hopefully next...

I'm new, Have my OWC dives March 29th and 30th. I have all my gear including 2 Al80s. I was hoping to convert one of them to be used for nitrox. I had both hydro tested in January. I called my LDS to see what it would take and she said it would need to be tumbled and 02 cleaned. Where on earth...

I'm looking for some archon lights to use with my Gopro. I've checked amazon and ebay but the only places selling them are china and hong kong meaning 20-28 day wait time. Anyone else know where to check?

I'll be going to Vortex March 29th and 30th for my open water certification dives. I know, I know "concentrate on diving first".

This has been brought up multiple times I'm sure but allow me to input my plan. At walmart yesterday I noticed a box of colored lens filters in the flashlight section of the sports and outdoors. I bent down and picked up an orange and a red, $3 a piece. They are extremely large, meant to go on a...

I just completed my pool and classroom training and I’m now awaiting my OWC at Vortex springs March 29th and 30th. My problem is, I love to increase my knowledge and learn technical things (I’m an engineering major). I’ve already completed Nitrox EAN32 and EAN 36 as well as Navigation. I’m...
