Gee, I'd love to make it, but will be in SE Georgia that weekend:crying: Capt. Bob South Florida Kayak Diving (Deerfield Beach , FL) - Meetup

A lot of the operations will cancel the trip at the last minute if there are less than a certain number of divers. Every time I go to Key Largo, I dive with Ocean Divers. They are more expensive than some of the others, but they always go out, even if there is only 1 diver. Having an entire...

I dive the third reef all the time. We drift no particular spot, off either Pompano Beach or Dania Beach. If we drift the West edge about 65'. East edge is 80'-90'. I have a Chartplotter/Depth sounder combo, put us right on the reef, check drift, then gear up while drifting. We avoid the wrecks...

Hi All, I can't seem to make it to any Kayuba meetings and all they have is a facebook presence. I have started a meetup group, South Florida Kayak Diving South Florida Kayak Diving (Deerfield Beach, FL) - Meetup to try to get all the kayak divers together in one place. I do quite a bit of...

Amersboo, how are your ears now? As an instructor, I agree with all the advice you were given. We actually spend a portion of our classroom work practicing and observing each other equalize. I start by having the entire class hold their noses then swallow hard. This allows them to feel what it...

I bought one of these masks a few years ago because I was diving in a lake with known bacterial problems. They are superb for keeping the ears dry, but don't necessarily make equalization any easier. The ear cup MUST seal around the ears, just like the silicone of the mask must seal around the...

I know this thread is 3 months old, but I still want to throw my two pennies in. The equipment specialist course offered by training agencies are worthless is you want to O/H your own regulators. The course doesn't "authorize" you to do anything, nor does it allow you to order parts. Get...

59 next Wednesday MSDT 4 - 10 dives a week Never felt better I hate it when someone tells me I shouldn't dive because I am "too old'. Funny thing is that most of the time, I am in better shape than the one making the comment. Bob

There are three other DMC's at my center, at varying stages. Being the "noob", I have been receiving a lot of good natured hazing. It is all great fun and a wonderful learning experience. I just can't wait for a new candidate or one of the others to finish up. Maybe then I can moved up a rung:) Bob

YIPPEE! I passed all 8 finals. Now the fun begins:)

Thanks. I've actually been studying the material for several months and know it pretty well. The way i look at it is that anybody can read books and learn the material. I want to be able to take what I've learned and put it to good use. Hence me opting for a 3-month internship. During that time...

Hi All, I started my DM course last night. I opted for this particular Dive Center because their DM course is a 3-month internship. I am in no rush, and want to get the best possible education. I have already gone through the DM crew pack and am pretty confident that i can pass the finals...

Are we going/allowed to have a campfire? If so, can we buy wood at the site? It'll be around 60 at night so a fire would be nice. Bob

Is there electricity at the site so we can charge our camera batteries?

I have built quite a few trebs myself. As well as medieval crossbows, both hunting and combat.

Yup, meant Ken.

I take it you are a SCADIAN. do we know each other? I used to be very active in Trimaris until my wife died. My SCA name is Robert the Bald.

Awright...sometimes you have to hit me upside the head with a cement block:)

Any idea why my status is "hot chick"?

Well, I had to ask. I belong to a medieval reenactment group and we drink quite a bit when camping. I also belong to a cycling group and we don't drink while camping. I wasn't sure where divers fit in when camping:)
