When is a good time of the year to be diving in North Carolina?

I'm considering a trip to Belize this Spring and I was wondering if coral bleaching has significantly degraded the underwater environment of Belize.

What are the differences between these two computers? What specifically is better/improved in the Perdix 2 vs. Perdix AI? I've searched and can't find any side-by-side comparison. Please post a link if this has already been done. I don't care about comparisons between the Perdix 2 and Petrel...

I will be going to CP on April 4, 2022 for 7 days. I'm traveling alone and would prefer not to rent a car. I found SJD Taxi (Travel Home) online as a way to get to CP from the airport for $75 one way. Has anyone used this service before and what was your experience?

If a tank was visually inspected on say June 15th and passed, does this visual inspection expire on June 1st or June 30th of the following year according to the rules?

Found these videos on regulator service and discovered they were really a deep dive into performing maintenance on Deep 6 Signature 1st and 2nd stages. Very detailed and really well explained. Interested in hearing opinion of others. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeGj6gASE9_sRWySld2Yiug/videos

I'll be attending a wedding on May 23rd on Siesta Key. I'll be there for a few days and may have some time to dive. Is there any good diving near there? If I dive I'll be renting most of my gear.

I have two tanks with 7/8 inch Thermo 5282-5250 valves that are "EAN Ready" according to the 2004 Thermo catalogue. The new 7/8-14 UNF valve is rated as air-only now . What changed that makes the current valve "air-only" when the previous one was EAN ready? If I'm using the new valve on an...

The only new 7/8 inch tank valve I can find is this XS Scuba valve that is air only. I'd like one that is O2 compatible up to 40%, pre-mixed. Are there others being made? I realize this is a very old standard now so I assume demand is quite small.

Has anyone dove here recently (like on or after 6/4) that could give a report on visibility? We're from the Redondo Beach area and are thinking of doing a night dive on Saturday, 6/8.

I found this article pretty interesting. Nothing conclusive but I'll be following this research in the future. Although not mentioned in the article, University of South Florida has one of the top ketone researchers in the US with Dom D'Agostino... and he's also a very accomplished diver...
