    Bonaire/Buddy Dive Review

    Just got back from Bonaire. What an amazing island and trip! Bonaire: There are so many threads on travel here I'll try to keep it short and answer some of the questions I had before I went. I had no issues with crime at all, although I didn't see a strong police presence there. I think...

    Hilma Hooker Wreck Video

    Just got back from my trip to Bonaire and threw together a little video of my time spent on the Hilma Hooker wreck. I'm by no means a videographer so don't expect something amazing. Wreck was awesome, accessible by shore, has some light swim through/penetration opportunity, and has an...

    CNS %

    Am in a discussion with a buddy of mine about CNS % and risk of ox tox. I’ve always learned through my instructors and through TDI that 80% CNS should be your upper limit at the end of a dive. My friend said she always learned from her CCR instructors that the limit wasn’t really important or...

    Cave diving with Trace course review

    Just finished up “zero to hero” with @Trace Malinowski Rather than give a day by day breakdown of everything we did, will just give an overall picture of what the course was like and then what I think about his teaching style. The course took 8 days but could be done in 7 if you wanted to...

    Moving to Finger Lakes Region

    Hello everyone My job is taking me to the finger lakes region/ithica NY area. Being in Michigan I've been spoiled by multiple quarries, the great lakes, and many small inland lakes within a 2 hour drive of me. Is anyone familiar with the finger lakes area? Anything to dive in the lakes? Any...

    Don't fart in your drysuit

    Seriously. Don't do it. I don't know how in 3 years of dry suit diving I haven't done it yet, but i've been having a GI bug recently and while diving the other day was farting up a storm. Apparently my "gas" decided not to vent while I ascended because when I unzipped my suit it smelled like...

    For Trade My Shearwater AI + transmitter for your Perdix non AI + $

    Love my AI but I've hit a financial rut and so am looking to downgrade my AI to a non AI. I have a perdix AI with transmitter, only about 30 dives on them. I'd like to trade it for your perdix non AI + $300 to cover the difference in cost (should be a good deal since the difference in cost new...

    Soft vs Hard Goodman Handle

    Any advantage of a hard goodman handle over a soft one for technical diving? The reason I ask is because my hard goodman handle seems to slip frequently through the dive. This is with it adjusted to be as "tight" as the handle will allow and with big thick dry gloves (I probably have very small...

    Cave instructor recommendation who allows back mount

    Was interested in pursing cavern and intro to cave this winter down in Florida and was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for an instructor, preferably one that will allow you to take the course in back mount. I have a couple of friends who have done intro to cave in the last year but...

    Poseidon Upstream Valve

    Calling @tbone1004 since he is the Poseidon Master... I've been diving a pair of poseidon xstreams for the last year on my doubles and love them. They breathe like a dream no matter how deep I am, and I've shared air from 150 feet in 34 degree water and came out with a block of ice on the regs...

    plastic backplates

    Switching up some gear for light weight travel (have a trip coming up in a couple of months). I'm in the market for a plastic backplate as even with my aluminum plate I'm overweighted with a single tank if I'm just in a rash guard/bathing suit. I know Tobin makes a kick ass kydex plate. I...

    What's up with Deep 6?

    So i've been hearing more and more about deep 6 gear. I like what i've read about them on their website but it seems like they've just came out of no where. Have I just been under a rock or are they pretty new? If they are new, it seems like things wouldn't be tried and truly tested yet, however...

    Neutrally buoyant jet style fins

    Looking for a neutrally buoyant jet style fin for travel and while not wearing dry/wet suit. I love my jet fins but they weigh my feet down way too much when I'm only in miniml exposure protection. I've been hearing a lot about the eddy fin but the deep 6 website doesn't say if they are...
