    Hammer Head Shark on San Francisco reef today.

    I'll preference this by saying, in my 300+/- dives I've never seen a shark this size... For me it was amazing to see, maybe it's routine for more experienced divers, or people who seek out shark experiences, but for me it was AMAZING... I probably was the closest in the group to it, and it...

    Does anyone make an adapter to go straight from a AL80 tank to a standard pipe thread?

    I have a few old tanks. I would like to plumb them into my shop air for additional capacity. The shop air is 160psi... so I'm not worried at all about exploding tanks... Anyways, I need to get from the uncommon thread on the tank to something more common. I've looked all over, and I can't...

    Private Car Service from Cancun Airport to the Playa Ferry

    Hi, I'm still up in the air if I'm going to take the ADO bus to get to and from the airport. If I don't take the bus I'd clearly need another method of transportation. I know there was a referral for a private driver (a single person, not a company), but that post was buried in another...

    June 8 to 17... staying downtown... diving with Blue XT Sea... Anyone Else?

    I couldn't resist any longer, so I booked the airfare and hotel a day ago. I just reached out to Christi to book my dives with Blue XT Sea... anyone else have a similar trip booked? I can't wait to drift along in that warm Caribbean water, and eat delicious Mexican food!

    WTB - CHEAP first stage - CLOSED

    Last week I had a situation where I used my regs/ tanks to fill a car tire. It was a PITA (an maybe not the smartest thing) to use a full regulator setup... so I figured I'll assemble a dedicated 'tire setup' for future use... Anyways, I'm looking to get a first stage to make this happen...

    Wreck Reel - What are they for??

    Sooo... I'm looking to take the plunge and start diving in more local water (Boston/ NYC/ Great Lakes) and some of the charters I've looked into suggest (but don't require) a 'Wreck Reel'... It's my belief/ guess that you take a reel and tie to to the wreck (around the down line??) so you can...

    Deploying a DSMB in Cozumel...

    Just looking for some Cozumel/ drift diving specific advice regarding when ascending divers (NOT with their DM’s) deploy their DSMB’s. I’ve been to Cozumel before, but I only did a few dives, and was VERY inexperienced… our DM deployed his DSMB from depth and my wife and I surfaced using his...

    Getting a pier pick up, north side of downtown??

    I've been reading about different operators, but before I reach out to each shop independently I was hoping to get some guidance from the experts here... I'll be on Cozumel from January 2nd to January 18th, in 2020... I'l be staying a stones throw from the Coral Reefs Monument (right by the...

    Once a tank valve is o2 cleaned, is the o2 rating good for 1 year, or several years??

    I bought a few tanks last month, and I asked the seller to get a VIP on them, so I could use them right away. The seller did this and had them o2 cleaned as well. My question is… Once the valve is o2 cleaned, does it maintain this rating for more than a year? Or, do I have to pay for o2...

    In water - Need to communicate with boat Captain “I’m ok, but want a pick-up”?

    So, I’ll recap a quick scenario that happened to me a few weeks ago… Pre-dive briefing the DM covers group/ buddy separation. They say the standard, “If you get separated, search underwater for a minute, then safely surface, and the boat crew will direct you to the bubbles and you can rejoin...

    Best Guide Service for BHB

    I have a relatively rare (for me) chance to dive BHB on December 3rd. I’m not a rich man, but this is a unique opportunity for me, so I’d like to enjoy my dive. With that, is there any local guides that could be recommended? I reached out to Force-E SCUBA, and they charge $125 for a guide...

    IP Question - ScubaPro MK25 / MK17

    I have two ScubaPro regulators. The MK25 holds a stable IP of 160psi. The MK17 holds a stable IP of 145psi. Should these be sent in to be tuned before I go on a dive trip? I would think the MK25 should, but what about the 17 as well? Thanks
