Hey Pat. Other than the noted coral impacts......how's the overall diving and "animal" life in general?

Thanks for the report! Seems clear that the Caribbean in general has some marked declination from SCTLD and bleaching and also clear that there are "mixed" opinions on actually how bad or catastrophic it is. There's only one way to know for sure.......

I guess we all have our limitations. Although I am a seafood loving carnivore, there is no way that I will ever harvest an octopi or a wolf eel. That might make me a hypocrite but that's how I roll...

Totally get that. Same with oysters.

Anyone remember the good old days (early / 90's) when from the West coast, we could fly Continental with one easy connect in Houston. I'm old enough to even remember on my first trip to Coz that there was actually a smoking section in the back 4-5 rows of the plane!! And.......... I dove...

Why I as a diver eat seafood. I'm not a vegetarian and I love seafood......especially the cold water seafood here in the Pac NW. Mostly Ling Cod, Cabezon, Black Deacon, Rock Scallops, Pectin Scallops and Dungeness crab. As a harvesting sport diver, I have both the opportunity and...

Yes..... I am convinced that a fully charged 13 is sufficient for a controlled ascent from 100ft in the very unlikely event of a full out of gas scenario.

I have both 13 and 19 pony's. I travel with my 13 and have it back mounted with a Quick Draw system. But to be honest, I'm an old guy and my annual tropical trips these days are mostly limited to Bonaire and Little Cayman. Since the Caymans do not allow solo diving, I don't bring the pony...

I chose "Other". Can't get the Amazon link to load here for some reason but you can just go to Amazon and search...... Scuba Choice Scuba Diving Stainless Steel Spring Fin Straps Pin Style (Pair). $38 for the pair and 5 minutes to install. See past SB thread below...

I personally have no issues equalizing with a simple "swallow / gulp" maneuver. But when teaching.....my best advice was to press your tongue as much as possible to the roof of your mouth, then pinch nose and blow through nose.

Why the need to have access to the pony valve during a dive? My back mount pony is fully open and charged and ready for use if needed. If there is an emergency then I am headed to the surface.

As much as I would love to dive the waters of Egypt, I just cannot justify any support to the economy of a country that as a society has no concept of women having equal rights and even today has little to no repercussions for horrendous atrocities against women.

I vote Myth. :)

The black color is really not as big of an issue as you would think. Between dives I just peel off the top and let it hang tied across my waist. For instabuddy ID, I have two pairs of identical Mares Quatro +. One pair in blue and one in white. I wear one of each and then am the only guy...

I am 6'1 and 250lbs and I bring this for any diving that's 80F temp or higher. If there is no indication or season issues for jellies, then I just wear a long sleeve rashguard and board shorts. https://www.scuba.com/p-aqbbsu/aqua-blue-unisex-full-body-skins

I guess me and a few million other folks..... :)

Yep..... especially when listening to Credence in a beach community where the rug really brings the room together... PS. "This is not Viet Nam...... This is bowling. We have rules here."

Totally get it John....... but the point is........is that poison commonly found in 100% lemon juice? The KEY term here is 100%. Maybe the Real Lemon folks should say something more honest and accurate like 99% Real Lemon Juice..... But then that might affect sales...

That makes it even more onerous. "Hey........check out our 100% Lemon Juice.......except we added a little poison!
