    Closest Spring to dive from Orlando Florida

    Random - picking my daughter up early next Saturday to take her to Disney in Orlando (shes at a conference, I'm driving down) - but we cant check in to the hotel until 3. So I will need to kill some time. Is there a dive closer than the ones around Gainesville (its about 2 hrs away) - Devils...

    Going back after a couple years.

    Just wanted to confirm the current process for going into Bonaire. 1. Pay a $75 dollar entry fee - where do we show that (Is this a new line at the airport) and paper copies or phone better? 2. Marine Park fee $45 - show at where you are staying I assume. 3. No COVID type paperwork needed? I...

    Defining visibility

    Interesting question from my daughter filling her dive log after a dive. She asked me what the visibility was today and I told her 30 feet ish. She then asked me how I determined that - I was stumped - I just said I thought I could clearly make out stuff at 30 feet or so away. Is there an...

    This is most likely a silly question. I am going on a dive trip in March - my tanks are stamped march and 2022 for vis inspection- is that good for refill iin March?

    diving Lauderdale by the Sea

    We are planning a spring break trip down to largo and will dive BHB - I read some cool reviews about diving LBTS - I did have a simple question - is diving there tide dependent like Blue Heron Bridge is, or are you okay as long as you arent at low tide? Thanks.

    sea sickness

    My wife's birthday is coming up and on several florida dive boat trips she has gotten seasick. She is not a big medicine taker, but asked for a "relief band" for her birthday - she had read about it somewhere. Do they actually do anything? I do realize a lot of this is placebo effect, but...

    Garmin Descent Mk2 vs Cressi Leonardo

    Today we dove the Speigal Grove in Key Largo. I had recently gotten my daughter and wife Garmin dive watches (the Mk2 and the smaller one, cant remember the name). As we were diving, they got worried and did the check NDL sign - I looked and I was at 20 minutes and I had been deeper than them...

    Stinapa tags

    I was wondering if stinapa tags got rolled forward when your trip got hosed. Mine was April of 2020, go figure how that got messed up. Our travel agent kept telling us it is okay, so I bought the tags. Actually folks were still going in March. Now we finally get to go back - has anyone tried...

    How to maintain gear

    I took my daughter lionfish hunting over Christmas break and she loved it. Got two of them with a pole spear. As a present, my dad got me my own pole spear this Christmas (we had told him how much we enjoyed hunting lionfish) Since we will probably do this max once per year, I was wondering...

    Florida Dive trip before Christmas - (Bonaire Surrogate)

    Our Bonaire trip was cancelled so called an audible and drove down to Florida to get some diving in. (Day 1) We live in South Carolina and stopping in Gainesville and doing a shake down dive at Devils den was a good idea. Classic, my daughter asked why we were doing it and I said, "need to...

    Blue Heron Bridge diving Christmas Eve

    we are doing a family trip to key largo to dive starting this weekend. On the drive back it might make sense to dive Blue Heron Bridge - stopping in Gainesville Florida that night. On the way down, we are diving one of the springs in Gainesville so its kinda the midway point. However the...

    sealife DC2000

    What is the recommendation for storing the camera and the light. The camera set came with a light case, but is there an efficient way to store the camera and the light in one case(with accessories)? I have used a GoPro for years and Trailbosses pictures made me want one of these. So I got one...

    rubber plug on Sherwood 1st stage

    I bought a used sherwood first and second stage at the dive shop. I needed to replace an ancient scuba pro on my Hooka rig. I was surprised when I found a rubber plug over a hole. The hole doesn't have any threads either. Any idea what it is? Okay to use as is? It breaths okay, and I...

    Lake Jocassee - Junk Map

    I was wondering if anyone had a map of the junk area of Jocassee (where the junk is), that shows to what all the lines go to? My dive shop I like to go to isn't diving for a bit, but I could take my family up there in our boat. I really don't remember all the directions to the cemetery (the...
