Hi, I have an Oceanic pro plus 3 computer that's about 8 years old and it seems to have a mind of its own and turns on by itself. I'm not sure why this is happening but I was wondering if anyone had any quick solutions. After I had its battery changed last year, I noticed that the battery died...

I just purchased a Hollis ST Travel system at a labor day sale event at my LDS. As I was speaking with the sales rep I decided to go with this one because it had a smaller bladder. I'm a short and lightweight person so I don't use that much lead nor would I need much lift anyway. In short, this...

Today at around 3pm, I left my 3mm shorty EVO wetsuit (black with yellow strips around the armpits) out on the changing benches on Datura for about an hour or so ( i got distracted packing up), and when I came back it was gone! If anyone has any leads please let me know! I greatly appreciate any...

I'm ashamed of what happened but here it goes. So I decided to dunk my regulator in a rinse tank with the dust cap on. When I removed it, I uncovered the first stage and noticed that it was a bit wet. I let it air out for a few days but the "filter" (not sure what the correct term is for the...

Hi all, Does anyone have experience with the SEAC Modular bcd? Any thoughts on it? There's a used one available in my area for an affordable price. Thank you

Hello all, It's been a while since I last posted. Today, I want to post about an experience this past weekend with a certain dive charter off of Atlantic Blvd. in Pompano Beach which made me feel uneasy about the operation. My buddy and I had booked an afternoon dive this past Saturday and...

Hi all, I went diving for the first time in eight months this past Saturday at a shallow reef (no more than 20 feet), but felt my right ear clogged back on shore. This is the second time this happens to me; the first time having happened almost two years ago during a 60 foot dive. It has been a...

Hello, I went diving today with the Rescue a Reef program from the University of Miami to restore the coral reefs off of the coast of Miami. The dive consisted of cleaning the coral nursery, made up of PVC pipe "trees" with coral hanging from them, collecting coral from them, and "planting"...

Hello all, Just a question about gear. I went drift diving with a friend of mine off of Pompano Beach, FL on Sunday and we were paired up with a cave diver who had a mirror attached to his wrist. I was wondering what this was for, as I completely forgot about it as soon as we got back on the...

Hello all, I have an Omer Apnea mask that needs the strap to be replaced. Does anyone know where I can find a good replacement? Thank you all

I purchased a pair of Atomic ff split fins that were on clearance as a dive shop near me was closing its doors. I hadn't tried them out in over a year until this weekend when I did a very shallow dive near a lighthouse in Miami. For comparison, my main fins are a pair of Sherwood Triton fins and...

I called DAN's medical services today after having done two dives at an average depth about 50 feet. It wasn't until I was out of the water and heading home that I started having discomfort in my right ear in the form of pressure, as well as muffled hearing. I waited a few hours to see if it...

Hello all, Any recommendations for a freshwater dive site anywhere near Ocala? Preferably not a cave site. Thanks!

Hello all, As a requirement for taking the NASE AWOS course, I am required to get a dive knife. For someone who dives an average of 20 times per year in the Florida Atlantic waters, is there a compelling case for not going the cheap route on this and buying a more expensive knife? Let's assume...

Hello all, I am an OW diver from South Florida and am looking to take my training one step further and take AOW courses. I've looked at a few different agencies to do this with and was looking for advice on what the best agency is to earn the AOW rating. Of the few that I've seen, I believe...
