Recently did the famed Rainbow River drift dive. Major fun! Some stretches reminded me of the currents at Playacar Reef in Cozumel. Lots of marine life. There were many sections where the springs boil up through the sand. Several large and small vents releasing warm water. Some grass regions...

Just completed trip to Devil's Den. Diving a cenote was fun. Knowing how old it is was cool. Many crevices to explore. A few fish, a turtle and lots of heavy textured large rocks. Dove with a shorty 3mil and was rather chilled in the 72* water. (I tend to not be cold.) Be sure to take a light...

looking for input, personal preference concerning these two Florida sites. Any input greatly appreciated.

been discussed but can't find older threads. So... If not doing the Big O, which location (of these two only) do you groove on and why? Will be RVing in Navarre which is about 50/50 either way. Thinking of Orikany, but many say they got weathered out. Thinking of not putting diver eggs in one...

Recently posted a thread looking to replace my trusty dive torch from the 80s. Great replies. I even bought an LED based on them. But, still not happy. In the adage "You can't keep a good librarian down", I began an even more earnest search. I found the Toshiba, 4 D cell, halogen light; same...

Back in the mid 80s to mid 90s, I had this foot long+, 4 D cell, big, blue incandescent dive light. That thing was a torch. It wasn't a scoop or flood light style. You could light up a path far off. My dive buddies always Stayed behind me. It was blinding! Alas, the reflective backing has...

OK, I’m Old School and proud of it. Ever since my jacket BC bit the dust in the mid 90s, I just taint been a super happy camper. A jacket let you float upright on the surface with no effort. My first cummerbund style, a cheap from Mr. Duck Divers, did fair. But it died on me three years ago...

Due to recent increase of prism, it is time to update my bonded prescription, High Volume, light color silicone dive mask with purge that I've been using since the late 90s.(actually, I've had the mask since the early 80s) What a shocker while looking around online. Seems the only mask even...

not looking forward to surgery of prostate due to the life altering complications that follow. Read threads of how physically it's OK to dive (which is nice to hear. If I had to give up diving, I’d probably return to my same pre diving days of being a depressed "why live?" Person.) But no one...
