Names Updated 4/27/07, as promised Post updated to include all the pertinent info, courtesy of MissDirected!!! A member of this board, Dawn Barber of Cristal Clear Charters, has made the following very generous offer of a free dive to members of this board: So with this in mind it is...

I apologize in advance, this is lenghty but I wanted to try and explain fully. And I wanted to stay in the terms of the TOS, which I believe I have. I wanted to relate a very negative experience I had this weekend in the Keys. I've been on lots of boats with lots of salty captains, but...

Last week while diving in the Keys, we had an issue (actually a problem) with my husbands computer. While on a dive in Key Largo, around 90 feet, my husband (who was doing his AOW class) thumbed a dive after 20 minutes. When we reached the surface, after a good safety stop, he showed me his...

Went with the Down Under Dive Club for their Keys getaway this weekend. We went out on Saturday and Sunday with Conch Republic. As always, Capt. Gary and entire Conch Republic crew made it a blast. (And if you read this...I'm working on perfecting that wing recipe! ;) ) Did one of the two...

Just wanted to share with my fellow divers my negative experiences when I was planning my trip there to dive the "O" in July. I had reservations at the Ashton Inn and Suites for my trip there. I didn't get to go due to other things that came up, when I went to cancel my hotel reservation 72...

Wow!!! Not much else to say...Wow!!! Schooling hammerheads, mobula rays, a silky, a Galapagos, more white tips than I can count, hunting dolphins, and a whale shark! ALL IN ONE DIVE! The Undersea Hunter was amazing..crew was superb. I couldn't recommend them higher. I have waited YEARS for...

Hey... Just thought I'd throw up a post...I'm on the Undersea Hunter to Cocos Island July 30th-August 9th. Anyone else going or know anyone that's going? Feel free to PM me or post!!

I read somewhere Vero had some beach diving, but when I talked to the local shop there, they were not enthusiastic. Anyone here done any beach dives from that area? I'm moving up there in a few weeks and really hope to be able to do some beach dives.

Hi all, New to diving this area and all these critters are strangers to me! Any good links or good publications on marine life ID for east coast Florida would be appreciated! Thanks!!

Hello... I'm visiting Ft. Lauderdale area (Boynton Beach) for a few weeks for work. I was hoping for some feedback on dive shops and dive boats in the area. I plan on visiting the Keys for a weekend to do the Grove and Duane...(AWESOME CAN'T WAIT) but I hope to catch a morning or afternoon...

Hello SB'ers... I'm thinking about a switch to doubles and am having a hard time deciding what I want. I mostly dive CA (drysuit) and once I switched to steel and enjoyed the bouyancy improvement, I didn't think I'd go back to AL. However, I do notice back fatigue (ok sometimes PAIN)...

Thought it would be fun to see how bad of gifts some of you got this year or years past... One year my father gave me a "Couch Potato." It was a CHEAPO retarded UGLY stuffed potato about 12 inches tall. It had a beer gut, ball cap, and a fake remote control. Like that was supposed to go...

Hello all. I wear Oceanic Vortex 12 splits with my drysuit. They have a matte type finish and they have gotten quite...skanky. I soaked them in a dive gear enzyme cleaner but they are still just cruddy...with saltwater/seascummy gooey yuck still encrusted on them. My Apollos Bio-fins are...

I found Scuba Board a few weeks ago but had been posting in the So. Cal forums. SILLY ME! I didn't think to even look for a forum from at least around my local area. I live in Las Cruces, NM, and usually go to Southern California to dive. I've been certified for 5 years now, actively...

Hello, I found this site by way of My Diving Life, as several people had referenced it. So I thought I'd check it out. I'm obsessed with diving, and when I can't be in the water, the next best thing is talking about it. I've been diving since 2000, tho only really active in the sport...
