    Notable dive sites in Southern US

    Devils den and blue grotto are cool if you are already in the area. They are in Williston FL. I find myself often at Alexander Springs and agree it is pretty. With a max depth of 28 feet it's not long before you've seen what it has to offer. But if you are already there just up the road is...

    Devils den tomorrow. 12/24/2015... Then

    Dove the den today. Had a blast. Went through two tanks each. We also found teeth but are not sure what they belong too. They were definitely fossils though. The tops or what was above the gumline was an agetized blue Color, and the part below the gum line was dark brown. There were several park...

    Devils den tomorrow. 12/24/2015... Then

    Booked a cabin at the devils den sight. Arrived early and was welcomed by the staff and cheerfully checked in. The cabins are nice enough. My only wish is an oven so I could have made garlic cheese bread to go with the spaghetti and meatballs I cooked. We spent the day puttering around town...

    Fatality near Ketchikan, Alaska

    That's a damn shame... Obviously the man had a plan and worked toward a goal and now he is gone because someone failed to properly maintain the life support equipment. RIP and May your family be given strength and peace during this nightmare they must be going through.

    Hope you like me

    Most dangers involved in scuba diving can be mitigated through proper training. Seek out a competent instructor. Another factor to think about is how you respond to stressful situations. There Is no substitute for mental preparedness.

    Am I too cautious?

    Diving within your own limits, and being able to state them beforehand is what makes a good buddy in my book. You are doing fine. Let not the naysayers sway you from politely discussing things you saw that concerned you. Two things can happen... You advise and the recipient ignores, or you...

    I can't equalize the pressure in my ears? ideas?

    Equalize early and often... When you feel pain you are too deep. I too had ear and sinus problems as a youth making equalizing an issue as an adult. I practiced on dry land holding my nose and blowing. I soon became accustomed to the amount of pressure required to cause my ears to adjust to that...

    Drysuit Storage In Car

    I would also think that during a search or rescue would be an in-opportune time to have an equipment failure due to improper storage. I guess that risk could well be weighed against the cost in time to acquire your equipment from whatever proper storage you might be able to find. Ehhh darned if...
