I just got this tank back from hydro which it passed. I decided to look inside the tank, I noticed this circle inside the tanks - looks like some sort of machine mark or maybe from drying. I am not worried about since it already passed the hydro and they vip it before they hydro it. Just...

I have a halcyon halo regulator that is pretty new, it has less than 40 dives on it. I noticed when I first got it that it did not breath like my other regulators, it was not smooth whatsoever. The best I can describe it is when breathing lightly is takes more effort than my other regulators...

Looking for some gps coordinates for some wrecks and mainly reefs in Martin county and northern PBC (Jupiter). In Broward we have the mooring balls to tie up on at the first reef there, does anything like this exist in Martin county? Ideally looking to do a little bit of spearfishing and catch...

I have been in need of a better lighting setup for lobstering. I have thought of getting one of the headlamps with a li-ion battery but I am a little concerned with these li-ion batteries exploding. I know more than one person who has had them detonate before which makes it even worse if it's on...

Hello, I logged into my padi pro site (first time in a while) and I knew my padi membership needed to be renewed however I see a message saying (The following professional ratings expired 31 December 2022.) Does this mean if I do not renew by then I would have to re-take my Divemaster course?

Hey, I was wondering if an open water student on a checkout dive can go below 60ft with a PADI instructor or is it "against the rules"? If an accident happened would insurance still cover this? I am not an instructor, I did not do this... Just a question out of curiosity on the dive boat. I...

This may be way beyond my skills and knowledge however I am interested in learning more about the principal of gas density at depth leading to suffocation from co2 poisoning. This seems kinda neglected by training agencies like PADI in terms of the physiology side of gas density (at least in...

I just got this rig a few days ago... When I was playing in the pool I noticed when I moved around the first stage hits my head (even with the crotch strap). It seems like with the twin-cam straps the whole rig wants to sit real low on the tank make the first stand and valve stick up higher. My...

Just got a new backplate and wing with the transplate harness and voyager wing. I have some questions about the setup. Where the buckle is there is way too much nylon webbing... Am I supposed to cut that or tuck it away? It seems weird cutting up my brand new gear (maybe because I was a BC...

Hey, I am inquiring about options for DM insurance. I see Dan has a policy for $398 and V&B is similar... What other options are there? Do any of the big insurance companies have some sort of policy or is this it? If this is it seems like a huge ripoff.

Hey I am considering getting some diverite regs. Who has experience with these regs (DiveRite XT-1 first stage/XT-2 second stage). If you own this setup have you had issues with them, what were they? Are they reliable regs from an engineering standpoint? How do they breathe at depth?

I would like to get a backplate and wing setup. I am set on dive-rite gear however I wanna hear some opinions on a good scaleable setup. I am primarily a recreational diver, I like the idea of minimalizing when recreational diving... However, I am looking to also get into tec diving and want a...

This computer has about 200 dives on it and on the last dive it flooded... The battery was changed once (because the computer also had a problem where it would not shut off when dry). The battery was changed properly (around 100 dives) and did many dives after it was changed with no issue. The...

I bought some knock off jet fins on amazon... I am a 10.5 and the fins are an xxl with 7mm boots. Not sure if they fit properly seems kinda funky compared to my other fins. Do these fins usually have no heel support? Imgur

Hey everyone, I just bought some scuba pro jet fins used for 30 bucks... They are a size M and my foot size is a 10.5, I will be using these with 7mm soft sole boots and 2mm soft sole boots. Does anyone have an idea of how they might fit?

I live in Florida now, but am originally from Madison CT and I frequently return. I have access to boats up there and grew up on the water fishing and boating but never dove in the sound (yet). This might be like looking for a needle in a haystack but does anyone know any good dive spots or have...

Hey Everyone! I am posting this purely out of curiosity. I do not plan to start a dive operation any time soon. I would like to know what the foreseeable overhead cost would be for running a 6 pack boat. Let's say the dive sites are no more than 10 miles out. I know there are a ton of variables...

Hey there, I am from Connecticut, but I live and dive in Florida. I have never dived in NE water and I have a wetsuit question. I am planning on diving this coming summer in Rhode Island and Mass area. I want to buy a wetsuit that will be suitable and for south Florida also. What I am thinking...

Hey everyone! I know this has been discussed before, but I still cannot find a map of the clear-cut shore diving locations in PR around the island. If someone has a map or any local knowledge of some cools shore diving locations I would greatly appreciate that. I am not from PR I hope to visit...

Hey everyone, I am new to Scuba Board. What brings me here is my love of diving, I currently have my open water and am working on my advanced open water. I would like to go up to divemaster (I know I have a long way to go). Anyway I really liked what I saw about Utila at first sight, then at...
