Hey guys - We had been renting a house annually but the owners retired and moved in permanently - so we're looking for another place. Prefer on the water, pool is a plus but not required. Anyone? Thanks! Jeff

Hi guys gals. I'm from Florida and I was curious. Is smoked fish spread very common up north? It's a popular item on menus down here at touristy spots, so it seems like something vacationers might buy because it's not offered up north? Reason I ask is because I have a kick butt recipe for...

We've noticed that sometimes 2 bugs can taste different - even if they were caught together and cooked fresh, right next to each other. Bitter - is the best word I can use to describe it. Anyone know why?

I'm planning on diving both spots. I've never been on a cruise at all before - so I don't know if I should stick with the cruise sponsored dives or what? I've been told by a coworker that they registered outside of the cruiseline and saved money with no issues at all. Any suggestions on who...

I'm about 240lb, 5'11", so I'm a little fat in the middle with big legs :) I tried on some pinnacle merino - but it was not the elastiprene. I think it was the older model. I tried both an XXL, which seemed too long in the arms and was uncomfortably tight...and an XXL-Short, which was...

We're going down on 3/12 and I'm hoping it warms up just a bit before that! What I love about the keys is shorts/t-shirt diving :) Any weather-people on here who can predict the water temp increase?

We are looking to rent a room and a boat for a long weekend on Oct 12th-15th near Big Pine Key. Any suggestions? Looking for typical center console 21-23ft boat. It's 2 couples, so a 2 room suite or something like that would be great. Thanks! Jeff

I have an AL80, which JUST got hyrdo'd and vis'd. I used it one time after that and then noticed that something is floating around inside the tank - sounds like a piece of metal. Any ideas? I will eventually get it back to the shop where the H and V was performed, but they are pretty far...

I am diving AIR, and it is set to AIR - but there is another F02 setting under the "SET 2" menu that is set to ON and 50% as default. I dont quite understand the logic behind this and what I 'should' have this set to. Thanks Jeff

The Hotel doesnt have the same reservations for us that Silent World booked. It's after hours, and im outside of Silent Worlds shop wondering if we have a place to stay and if we are iving with them this weekend. If anyone has their number, or can contact them ans ask them to call me - please...

Taking 275 south, I usually take the first exit after aligator alley..but I know there are a few other ways to go. Which ways do you guys find the fastest/fewest cops :) ? Thanks Jeff

I have this charger: http://www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2051 It can charge at .7 or 1.4, which one do I use for my 16.8v NiMH? Thanks Jeff

I bought 3 used AL80s today. All of them are catalinas, built mid 1997. Here's the trick. They dont have a hydro stamp on them anywhere that I can find, but they have a vis of 12/04. Based on the 12/04 - shouldnt they have been hydro-tested at least once in their lives? Thanks Jeff

This is an interesting story that boils down to LDS vs. Internet sales...It's going to be a little long, sorry about that. A few weeks back, I was shopping for my very first BC. I had decided that I would spend a little more money at an LDS, rather than buy it online - mainly because I...

There will be at least 4 of us - maybe 5. 3 of us are new, so we are looking for the typical shallow water keys dive between 20 and 45 feet. June 24th (afternoon) and June 25th (morning). Might consider doing one boat Saturday and another one on Sunday - unless the outfit will just go to...

Heading to the keys for mini-season for lobster. You aren't allowed to be in the water hunting until 1 hour before sunrise, but you are allowed to bulley-net. We are thinking about trying this. Bought some underwater lighting and have been rigging it all year :) How does it work out for...

Contacted my closest glass cutting shop (glassier?) and after they jerked me around about the mm sizes, they said they would do it and it would be $20 EACH?!? No thanks, jerk. I know where to get the 52 online, but who can I get the 49mm from without paying a fortune? For a Maglite Thanks Jeff

I'm just taking ideas from other projects and trying to make my own DIY light. Do these glands look ok? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7576830780&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 I saw that someone was using the metal glands on the plastic otter box 9000 - does that...

Since the 1st stage has a swivel for the LP portion of the reg, hoses in those ports have a clearance issue with the transmitter that is in the HP port below. If someone has this setup, how did they arrange it? Thanks Jeff

I have a new knighthawk that hasn't even been in the water yet. I'm worried that I might have gotten the wrong size. It's an XL and it seemed to fit well without a tank on it - it was nice and snug. The L that I tried on seemed too small right away. The problem is, now that I have put a...
