Not dive related but buddy of mine went out deep dropping and got what he called a rock hind grouper (doesn’t look like one to me) so please help me ID it. I believe it’s some type of scorpion fish. Caught in 400’ of water in east central Florida.
Okay so I got an email today informing me that during the February FWC meeting they approved regulation changes to help sustain BHB as a world class snorkel/dive park! Regulations go into effect on April 1st 2019.
This is wonderful news in my mind but at the end of the change it’s stated that...

Looking to change my atomic Z2 from yoke to din in the next couple of weeks/months and was curious if anyone had an extra one laying around that they are looking to unload for a little cheaper then LP.
Thanks in advance!
Dive on,

Okay so I’ve had a pair of hammerhead amarra gloves the past two or three years and I am now looking for another pair since hammerhead stopped making them.
I’ve heard wonderful things about mako and was curious if these gloves would hold up to the abuse of lobster diving in Florida?
So as a kid I use to love shark week even though I knew most of it was well overplayed and “fake” and I haven’t watched it in a few years. I tuned in tonight and watched the last 15 minutes of the Shaq episode and it will be the last time I tune into anything shark week related again.
How do...
Just got home from work and heard on channel 7 that one guy drowned on Miami Beach on Saturday and another died on an artificial reef dive today (Sunday). All they said was he was pulled unresponsive from the water nothing else.
Thanks all,
Nick
Today I was snorkeling/freediving scouting lobster spots when this guy was spotted in about 22’ of water right ontop of the drop off in Fort Lauderdale beach. I know this isn’t a good picture but it’s all I have as I found him after looking at a lobster and when I went back down it was nowhere...
Okay so cleaning my Regs last night and I noticed a little tear in the seat retainer on top of the reg. I just noticed this and not sure if it just happened or has happened in the last 12 dives somewhere. I believe it is just a cosmetic thing but wanted to make sure as I can’t find anything...
Okay so I’m finally starting to accessorise my kit and I have purchased a few hose retainers from DGX and I have a few questions on how you guys use them.
1) I put one on my primary reg so I can clip it off during SI or walks down the beach but not sure if I should keep in on the actual hose or...
Okay so mini season is coming up next month and I need to start scouting some shore spots I can hit both days. Ideally I’m hitting broward Wednesday close to home and Thursday I’d like to hit Fort Pierce/Vero. Only problem is I haven’t been off the beach in this area since early last year before...
Hello yesterday I came across an anemone that had a few little shrimp on it. The black/white one I believe is a squatting/sexy shrimp(middle) but have no clue of the clear one (left). About 22’ of water on south Florida reef.
Okay so I’m in the market to get a compass for my diving. I narrowed it down to 3 choices but can’t really decide which is the right choice.
The three I have in mind are
Sunnto sk8
Suunto SK8 Compass
DGX deluxe pro
DGX Deluxe Pro Compass w/Bungee Mount and Cord
DGX tech
DGX Tech Compass...
Was out south of the Dania pier freediving today doing my thing along the 2nd reef vis was a nice 30’ or so but steadily declined once the tide turned so as I was heading in I see a sliver flash on top of the first reef line. I duck down and low an behold there’s a speargun sitting on top the...
This is an old picture I happened to find today. It was caught while bait fishing for sardines/herring on Deerfield pier in Florida. Caught right around when the sun was setting (if that matters). About 3 inches long or so
Anyone have a clue?
I recently seen this cleanup will be taking place on June 16th. I had a thought of participating but at the same time noticed they will be going for a world record and tring to get a chain of 400 divers around the pier.
Being a new diver I am a little concerned with 400 divers being in this...
Anyone have any info on how this dive site has survived margaitaville and hurricane Irma? Never dove the site and looking for a new spot to snorkel tomorrow.
I know @Scuba_Jenny this use to be a favorite for you any recent trips or tips for visiting?
Didn’t post this in basic because I wanted feed back from more experienced divers.
So I was curious as to what other divers thought of the “Lessons for life” section of ScubaDiving magazine website.
I’ve always read these lessons for life post even months before I started diving myself. I...
Hello all yesterday Dad and I went to LDS to but my first set of gear. Only got the watch but going wednseday to get regs and spg. Anyways we get home and he puts it under the tree and says don’t touch. Me being me I played around with it this morning and now I can’t get it turned off lol.

Just wanted to post my latest trip from the beach. Went out at 11:30am this morning looking for lobster. Vis started at about 15’ and by 1:30pm it was down to 8’ or so.
First rockpile I came upon there were 7 lobster with the big ones way back in the hole with the front 4 or so being...
