    Possibly moving to Florida

    It's looking better for the Tampa or Orlando areas. I should know more after the 11th. They both seem to be about the same distance to Ft. Lauderdale and the Keys, but Tampa would provide "backyard" diving too, I guess. The supervisor that I'll be interviewing with covers both of the...

    Diving in the Keys?

    why stay in a hotel when you can rent a condo for the same price, or cheaper. Ocean pointe suites in Tavernier can be found for right around 100/night. 1 or 2br. We just rented a 2 br condo at moon bay (in Key Largo) for 690/wk (during high season). Not that we used the kitchen for...

    Key Largo diving and training trip report. LONG

    I don't think he'd listen to me :) Heard that they saw it on the Benwood after we saw it on the grove.

    Key Largo diving and training trip report. LONG

    I've used a spool before... it is definitely easier to shoot, but what do you do with it while ascending? I probably have over 140ft of line out right after shooting the bag. Seems much easier to shoot with a spool.... but seems even easier to reel the line in as you ascend when using a...

    Key Largo diving and training trip report. LONG

    Arrived last thursday. Did some shallow reefs on friday just to get in the water. Saturdays weather was questionable so we decided to concentrate on moving from the hotel to the condo (which we have sat. - sat.). Out to the Speigel Grove on sunday with a shallow reef after. Tons of fish on...

    Rax is a lucky dog

    We were doing a 2nd dive on the Grove (as part of the adv. nitrox/deco class). Plan was to do a drifting ascent. At the end of the dive, I rigged my lift bag and shot it (takes me a little bit to accomplish that). I looked over at the instructor to give him an "ok" after shooting the bag...

    that sucks. Hope you get another flight sometime soon. Our flight is not until Wed. night, so we should be ok.

    How is everyone doing in the midst of this storm?

    hard to keep up with the snow coming down sideways and the wind blowing 30-40 mph. Drifts back within a minute of shoveling/plowing. I'll have to go pick up C-otter at work at some point, so I plowed earlier to "keep up". That was pretty pointless. I know I can plow my 600ft. driveway and...

    How is everyone doing in the midst of this storm?

    Scubashack in Rocky Hill. I95 south to Rt. 9 North to I91 north to exit 24. Sea Wolf II in essex is ok too. (not too far from Old Saybrook). There's a small shop just north of the subase on Rt.12 (actually just off rt. 12)... I forget their name. What are you looking for?

    A question.

    Auto will do an ok job in most lighting situations. I prefer to select the setting that matches the environment. I'll pick "strobe" for u/w or indoor shots with flash. You can set the 995 before it goes into the housing and it 'remembers' the setting even when off (note... remember to set...

    Beer

    I was driving around tonight and noticed that alot of liquor stores and bars have lighted signs proclaiming: "Ice Cold Beer"!!!!! I know alot of places prefer warm beer, but most americans love it ICE COLD. Just wondering if the signs in England proclaim: "Piss Warm Beer"!!! ;)
