    F×<[$%> weather

    Just looking at the Newport forecast. If you were to make a dive, Saturday between 10 & 2 would be the perfect time. 1-2ft seas, winds out of south, tides in your favor.

    A 13cuft is kinda small to sling. But it is possible. I'd suggest something like the photos. Mounted with the valve facing down and lower on the plate would be my preference. Weighting shouldn't be too much of a concern. You could always move 1 lb to the other side. I wouldn't add weight...

    I use the mobile app Ventusky. I have the pro version. It is 1000% worth it if you do any sort of offshore fishing. It allows me to see very reliable forecasts including swell height and duration very far offshore. I use it anytime I make runs to the canyons.

    Qualifications of a DM

    IMHO, the qualifications of all DM's are a direct result of the Instructor whom signed their card. I feel the standards are fine across most organizations in diving. What isn't fine, is the quality of instruction and the level at which those standards are held. If we as a collective community...

    Can the DUI zipper be fixed without having to replace it?

    Lighter trick works well. As far as the zip seals. I see nothing wrong. There isn't a difference in wrist seals like the g1 and g2 neck. Purchase any set of zip wrist seals and plop them in. Good luck

    Ultima Dry Glove System question

    The 720 is perfect. Add a glove liner and you will be all set for those expected temperatures.

    Ultima Dry Glove System question

    You would install the rings as usual, using a sacrificial wrist seal. Once installed cut out the visible portion of the seal. That simple. As far as the 282's. I Googled a picture. I don't see why you couldn't. However, it will be extremely difficult with that lining it has. IMHO there are...

    Multi-Day Dive Boat Buying Suggestions

    Boat is at a marina tied up to a fixed dock. 41' Rampage. Used mostly for offshore angling. We do dive from it though. Twin diesels with a generator and ac. 1200 gallon tank allows for a long range. Also comfortable enough for the wives when they want to go out.

    Multi-Day Dive Boat Buying Suggestions

    A lot of sacrifice with wanting to trailer. If you take the leap to just keeping it docked, you will find a LOT more options. Just food for thought.

    Looking for Lodging suggestions in Key Largo?

    Cheapest option I know of is: The Floridian in Homestead, FL. I think it's like $40 to $60 per night. It is clean with great breakfast. But I would never take my wife there. It's between 30 and 45 to Key Largo by car, depending on what road you take.

    Subaru Outback ( ~2019 2.5 vs 3.6)

    The wife drove it. The last thing I want to deal with is having her tell me the car needs oil again. Traded it for a Q5. I haven't had to put a drop of oil in the new car in 3 years and over 75k. The oil gets changed every 5k, nothing between fills. The Subie was nice, other than the fact you...

    Subaru Outback ( ~2019 2.5 vs 3.6)

    Had a 17 with a 2.5. I traded it in after 7 months and 23k. It was using a quart of oil every thousand miles. Dealer said it was common and within spec. A quick Google will show how wide spread the issue is.

    Have you tested positive for COVID?

    Tested positive 3 times in 10 days. Hadn't the slightest clue I had it. Not a single symptom. Took the original test out of necessity for work. Was shocked to see a positive result, so I took 2 more a few days apart. I have since tested positive for antibody. Best part of the whole ordeal...
