    Sherwood Wisdom HP hose for QD

    My husband and i have had both our hoses go this year. Rather than pay $$$ for new quick connect hoses, we have opted to have them connected perm to a high pressure hose. Much cheaper!

    Eel Attacks, How Common Are They

    I love seeing eels when diving and could watch them the entire dive. I always give them plenty of room as well as keep my fingers safely tucked away. One of my favorite eel stories was when my and husband and I were on our certification dives. The site we were on was loaded with bridge rubble...

    car keys + shore diving

    My Ford has a keypad entry, so the keys are locked inside. My husbands Dodge has a chip key. We take a valet key that he keeps on a lanyard around his neck.

    Dive Watch Battery Replacement - Sarasota

    The batteries in our dive watches have died, so we are looking for a place to get them replaced. We have gotten some referrals, but the places are either out of business, never open, or no longer does repair work. Anyone out there have a go-to place in the Sarasora-ish area?

    crystal river florida

    My husband and I go to CR several times a year, at least 2X a month in season. We prefer to ditch the cattle boats and head out on our own and kayak it. We own our kayaks but there are several operators to rent from. The first time we ever went to CR we rented from Aadrvark. They are amazing...

    How did you convince YOUR spouse to start diving

    My husband had to convince me to dive. For years he talked about it, and the only word out of my mouth was "no". Then, in 2005, on a camping trip to Ginnie Springs, he signed us up for a discovery dive. I could not clear my mask, it took 28 lbs of weight to sink me, and I was freezing dispite...

    Narced???

    I've experienced that same feeling while diving. I was not exerting myself when the feeling came on, we had just left the mooring line and hit 97 feet when the "panic" feeling hit. We called the dive and I was fine as soon as we hit 80 feet. My husband and I concluded I was narced, but after...

    Crystal River Manatee snorkeling..which shop?

    My husband and I frequently go to CR to snorkel with the manatees. We usually kayak (I highly recommend it!), but Bird's gets great reviews here. I have stayed at the Best Western a couple times and the resort is nice, but for about half the price we stay at the Econolodge (nothing fancy but...

    So I went and bought some gear today.

    There is always a better deal out there, no matter where you bought it. The important thing is are you comfortable with the gear you bought?

    what have you forgot to pack

    It was not on a dive vacation, but the only time I forgot anything was one my Rescue Class check-out dives. I forgot my booties. I had to wear my husbands when I was "rescuing" the instructor from 40'. My feet hated me! Now my husband and I check each other to make sure we didn't forget anything.

    Bp/w ???

    Take a look at HOG. The quality is great and the price is affordable. My husband has both the singles and doubles set-up and I have the singles wing. My doubles is a Halcyon wing and I can't see any difference in quality. Divers Supply and Dive Right In Scuba are dealers and have great...

    Live in S. Fl? Why don't you move? The pros and cons...

    For me, its the showbirds. I don't leave my house much when it's snowbird season. Here's my rant from a while back: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/whine-cheeze/261982-brace-yourself-theyre-here.html Why don't I leave? Because I get to dive in the most amazing places without venturing...

    I’m looking to improve my dive skills this year, would like comments from any and all

    +1 for GUE-F! When I started diving I wanted to learn all I could, so I took class after class soaking up everything I was taught. After all those classes I never felt like I had a good, solid foundation for everything I learned. I took GUE-F last summer now I feel like I finally have that...

    Stuart Beach fatal attack

    Here is a quote from one of the articles I read: Juvenile Great Whites? I thought GW's were pretty rare in FL waters? Other articles I read stated they are still determining the type of shark.

    sea-sickness remedy?

    I get sea-sick, so my doctor prescribed me the patch and the Scopace tablet. When I went to pick the prescriptions up, the pharmacy was out of the patch, so I went with just the pill. At home, I looked up the difference between the 2 and found the pill would actually work better for me. The pill...
