Kevlar markings: I had no idea that was even an option, honestly I thought the text was there for the website images only, thanks for pointing it out! Elasticated back: Yes, I have a pretty significant difference (16cm) between chest/seat and waist. (110cm vs 94cm). Expedition pockets: I have...

Has anyone been in to dive the last day or so? I’m up in Jupiter through tomorrow and would make a trip down the highway, but I dont want to bother if the viz is crap from Lake O dumping.

This may be/probably is a dumb question so please bear with me, and I've tried searching the thread but at 272 pages there’s a lot to sort through. With the crushed neoprene socks attached to the suit, do your feet actually stay dry? I’m moving to a dry suit because I get cold easily, and my...

They've linked to this file on their site with the 2024 tables with their nights highlighted: Force-E_HighTideTable_2024.pdf

I'm in the market for a new housing. I'm at the point where I'm not really satisfied with the port selection on the Salted Line housing, given that SeaFrogs doesn't offer extensions for their ports (especially the domes). I'm either going to replace the Salted Line housing I have for my a6400...

I think I'll have to start submitting photos here. I end up with a lot of "fish portraits" that are decent to good for identification, but leave a lot to be desired from an artistic standpoint. At least here they'd have some value to someone.

As promised, here's a few photos from my dives. I did three dives over the last three days, 12/26 PM, 12/27 PM, and 12/28 AM. Night one I stayed on the snorkel trail, though there were a lot of divers out and lots of silt bring kicked up. Night two I went under the east bridge. Far fewer divers...

It wasn’t terrible this morning, but then again my baseline is the Gulf off Clearwater, so anything that isn’t 10ft viz and low 60 degrees in the winter is a good dive to me. I’ll post some photos once I have them processed later tonight.

These photos from a couple of weeks ago. High tide was at 11:40a that day and I was in the water at about 10a. I was in the water a bit too early, as I had an afternoon dive booked with Narcosis. Water temp was 79°, and visibility was about 30 feet. Being so early meant there was a ripping...

Sending you a DM now.

I should clarify that the housing buttons all press in and out normally, with full range of motion, so it's not an issue of the buttons getting stuck in or not being able to be depressed all the way. It could be that one button on the back plate is getting compressed due to spring fatigue as...

Heyo fellow Sony peeps. I’ve been diving with my SeaFrogs housing for a few years, and I’ve started to notice some issues on my deeper dives. Basically what’s happening is on any dive deeper than ~60 ft, and most dives deeper than about ~40 ft, the back panel of the housing is compressing so...

Hey all, I have two Faber HP 117s, that I’m looking to trade for two HP100s. My tanks both have recent hydro + viz (Dec ‘22), and are currently filled with 32%. My only gripe is they are 8” diameter and don’t fit on the boats I regularly dove off of, so I’d like to downsize to 7.25” HP100s...

Hey all, I’m headed over to WPB tomorrow morning from Clearwater. I’ll be doing dives at BHB on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday for sure, and maybe Thursday if my morning charter gets back in time. If anyone wants to meet up and say hi, or grab lunch/dinner/drinks, let me know!

I haven’t been to Blue Grotto, but I have been to Devil’s Den. They are very serious about the ”no solo diving”, to the point where they won’t let you check in without a buddy present. They also have a total ban on pony tanks. I would imagine that the policy is there for insurance and...

Hey everyone, I’m looking for an instructor recommendation to finish out my SDI Solo course in PBC. I’ve completed the eLearning portion from SDI, but still need to do the skills and open water dives. I’m over in the Clearwater/Tampa area and have had 0 luck getting any of the SDI Solo...

Any other APS-C users here have a chance to test out the newer Tokina atx-m 11-18mm f/2.8? I'm looking for a wider angle lens than my current options (Sony FE 28-70/3.5-5.6 and Sony FE 24-105/4G). I'm using a Salted Line 6xxx with the 6" dome port, so bonus points if you're also running that and...

I’m bringing the family over from Clearwater tomorrow through Sunday. My oldest is having his first DSD on Friday’s afternoon high tide, having just turned 10 in January, and my wife will be tagging along with him as she doesn't dive solo. I'm looking at getting some afternoon diving myself...

If you can swing the drive down to Clearwater (about a 2 hour drive) I’d recommend some gulf diving with 2 Shea Charters. There’s a decent artificial reef system in Pinellas County, with some good life to see, so long as you’re not expecting to see thr aquariums you’d get in the Caribbean or SE...
