I'm in the middle of a week long vacation in Little Cayman along with several ScubaBoard members and it's been some real nice diving so far. Tomorrow we're doing the day trip to Cayman Brac to do the Tibbets wreck, but I'm already off topic and at risk for derailing my own thread before I even...

I started using Docs Pro Plugs a few years back because I hated the itchy squishy feeling I got from water in the ears, which persisted for an entire dive vacation and for some time thereafter. Although the problem can be addressed with various ear drop remedies, it's still a hassle to use them...

I picked up an 18' CC boat 3 seasons back and I've been diving in the LI Sound primarily on the Smithtown Artificial reef which consists of barges, tugboats, and lots of construction debris (much of it from the old Tappan Zee bridge). Depths are around 40' but there are also deeper wrecks...

Now that summer is finally here in the NE, I'm out on Smithtown Bay off Long Island exploring the artificial reef which includes several barges. I'm finding dozens of boat anchors left behind by unlucky fisherman who hooked the wreck and could not retrieve them. Some have been down a while and...

This thread was about a recent dive which I chose to share with the community. It was deemed to be a joke by the moderating staff and moved to a different suborum where it will not be taken seriously so I have chosen to delete it.

I get an alert message that my post was moved to Surface Interval- To be or not to be a Single Diver, when I click it I get a message that says Error I cannot view this page: "Discussion in 'Surface Interval' started by caruso, Tuesday at 2:35 PM"

During my recent trip to South Florida another diver's rig got my interest. This guy had his backup SPG configured in a way that I hadn't seen before. If you carry a full size or slightly smaller SPG and clip it off somewhere on your BCD as a backup to your air integrated wireless dive...

Here's the history. My brother bought this knife at my suggestion a couple of months ago, when we met on a recent dive trip I realized he got the larger model- for his needs the BCD mounted model is better. It has never seen the water, so it's basically brand new in open package. This is a great...

Here's a video for your viewing pleasure of a dive I did last week of Pompano with South Florida Diving HQ. Shot with a GoPro Hero 4, alternating Flip 5 shallow and mid filters with 2 Archon V2 lights. Can anyone identify the wreckage at about 1 minute 30 seconds and ID which reef it was? The DM...

Yesterday afternoon my sister and I dived the Rebel wreck in Fort Lauderdale. The wreck is 128' long in about 110' to the sand. It's largely broken up but the bow and stern still have large open areas that can be penetrated. Because of her schedule my sister could not join me this past week of...

I'm wrapping up a week in South Florida, and having dived the Pompano/Ft Lauderdale area for several days with 4 different dive Ops I've seen a lot of excellent, competent diving and some not so great diving, and 3 particular examples stuck out, to the point that I decided to have a word with...

Hi can anyone recommend a dive charter that does trips to wrecks within recreational limits off Miami? Preferably one that does 3 tank trips or afternoon dives as well as morning trips. Looks like a long weekend opened up for me next month and I'd like to check Miami wreck diving. Thanks

The Princess Anne is 350' long, 60' wide 20' high. It was a car ferry used to carry over 200 passengers and cars over the Chesapeake Bay. Sunk in 1993, this wreck sits in at about 110'. It is in a state of collapse, dangerous to penetrate! Several divers have died in it's interior. The above...

This wreck sits at about 130' and was originally painted and adorned with statutes to resemble an onboard casino complete with poker playing sharks and an octopus playing billiards. Alas, after a few short years everything the paint has faded completely and the statues are barely recognizable...

This video is 2 dives on the MV Castor wreck on 4-20-2019 with my sister and another diver who joined our West Palm Beach Charter that I posted about earlier on ScubaBoard. Thanks to Dave at Splashdown Divers who allowed me to free descend to the wreck and hook the reel and flag to it since the...

Hi, I'm looking to post a few dive videos from last week's West Palm Beach trip but not seeing a way to do it without linking directly to a social media page that has the video already on it, which would then make my personal information public. Any way to do it and remain anonymous? Thx - Caruso

I picked up a tip this past week while diving in Florida. I noticed a diver walking around on the boat with his mask on backwards, and the lightbulb came on. I've been diving for almost 40 years and never even thought of it, it's so simple and solves an annoying issue. One of the ways to...

We're diving next week in Jupiter, West Palm down to Boynton and finishing up in Fort Lauderdale. Watching the forecasts which predict heights 4.5' with periods of about 8' by the end of the week. Does anyone know when the Dive Ops start canceling due to the conditions? Or when it simply gets...

I just finished reading David Rosenthal's excellent book "Scuba Diving the Wrecks and Shores of Long Island, NY" and he explains the way he prefers to dive the bridge, which provides for bottom times of well over an hour. As most local divers know, the bridge is very tide dependent and it's...
