    You GOTTA have insurance

    I know plenty of Doctors and have oral surgeons, Dentists, GPs and even plastic surgeons as friends. None of them are shy about getting paid.I got a good friend who has even taken in lawnmowers and tools as payment. They didn't send it to collections because they were fishing for cash and...

    Spearfisher critical after bull shark hit - Queensland, Australia

    I was reading something from another site about a similar situation and an animal expert said more often then not, particularly in high tourist area's the sharks are fed by people and it came expecting food and didn't get any. They (and another article posted on this page) stated that can...

    You GOTTA have insurance

    Did they know you didn't have insurance? Alot of times they will reduce the cost if you do not. I had a septoplasty about 10 yrs ago. They told me it was $700 (my portion). I was in around 8AM and home by noon. They billed the insurance $49K to include additional items they told me they would...

    Dive flag / bouy and where to keep it

    I learned that the hard way. The problem was not not being able to see line. The problem was them intentionally tossing line at our equipment. The 2nd time they got me and other divers they actually attached 2 fishing hooks together and used them almost like a chain to pull it in. I am fairly...

    Dive flag / bouy and where to keep it

    Gotcha. I've got one for boat dives but I hadn't heard of them being used like a flag. Just to let the charter know you are waiting for pick up.

    Blue Heron Bridge, (West Palm) Riviera Beach FL

    hah haha, you aren't the first person to say pretty much that. You'd think "America's best dive spot" or whatever they call it would be better valued by the city.

    Blue Heron Bridge, (West Palm) Riviera Beach FL

    When we went out the very far left area closest to the shore was open. When I first got hooked it seemed accidental as everyone was friendly about it. When we came back they either increased in numbers or spread out and the mentality was completely different.

    Blue Heron Bridge, (West Palm) Riviera Beach FL

    I witnessed one as well one Sunday AM. I will definitely go back to BHB. I was just shocked that there are so many reports of crimes while there is literally a police station maybe 50 yds away. You'd think they would come out and walk the park or drive it. There were lik,e 4 or 5 police cars...

    Blue Heron Bridge, (West Palm) Riviera Beach FL

    I had a knife in my vest. In the moment I had not thought to grab it. I have since bought a knife, thigh rig and it has a line hook.

    Dive flag / bouy and where to keep it

    I learned that lesson last Thursday on a shore dive. 3 people fishing were intentionally hooking and stealing dive flags.

    Favorite Night Diving Tank Light?

    hahaha. Is it really that bad down there? I have friends that dove in the area but with cruise line approved groups. They said it was not bad but by no way on the level of professional as US charters. I imagine if you just find the local group you might get some questionable

    Favorite Night Diving Tank Light?

    I recently dive my first night dive. I was going to use a glowstick but decided a real light was better (I have glowsticks as a backup in case). My buddy and I coordinated and bought different colors. It made it easier for us to pick each other out of a group. Visibility wasn't great (maybe...

    Dive flag / bouy and where to keep it

    What is everyone's reccomendation for flags? I had one with a handle and I generally clipped it to the shoulder ring on my BCD because holding it was annoying. I would get wrapped up in it but found no good place to put it near my back. Recently it was stolen and I bought a reel type one with a...

    Blue Heron Bridge, (West Palm) Riviera Beach FL

    Anyone else dive this area? I live about 3 hours away, have made 2 attempts previously and visibility was garbage. Couldn't even see my hand. Last Thursday we did a group night dive. It started out great and I learned alot. It was my first night dive so I figured shallow water near a shore was...

    BCD wouldn't let air out

    Thanks. We are planning a dive for next weekend as well. We meet up and run every Thursday night so planning on hammering that one flat tonight. Almost all of my dives have been near West Palm Beach so I have consistently used the same dive shop I found there. They are fantastic, always super...
