Easier to just sell ‘em and figure out what/if you need whenever.

Now that the Commies are out of there, I’ll bet Socotra would be ok...just not sure how long I’d want to spend there. Plus, even if you had your own Gulfstream jet, it would still be a royal PITA to get to from the US. Good luck with the trip though.

That’s the island where Bob Levinson disappeared in 2007. “...the island is owned by Iran” pretty much summed it up for me, but hey, don’t let me rain on your parade.

I got a c card from Joe in 1969 when shops started wanting cert proof for fills. I traded him a nice u/w photo for a NAUI paper card that’s still somewhere in the house. He always wanted to swim underwater from Coki to Thatch Cay using that damn skip breathing technique. The only thing that did...

I will always have a warm spot in my heart for Mactan Island and Lapu Lapu City.

Oh yeah...Fill Express...it’s been so long, the memories got clouded. There was also Nitrox Express in Lake Worth, but they kinda just withered away up there.

Ricky would pump my LP120’s to 4500psi COLD ——>that was 190 cubic feet in each tank. Heavy bastards to carry but sheer bliss underwater. Then he left to go back to fixing auto transmissions. Ricky’s history, Dive Express is history, the tanks are long gone, but hey, I got a Lavacore suit AND an...

I did an ice dive when I was 16 in Connecticut when I was young and stupid. In a Parkways wetsuit since drysuits hadn't been invented yet. That was enough for me. I cede my share of ice diving to everyone else here. Especially --->the really tough people who do this in wetsuits. I'll put an...

I can't figure out how you got away with only buying one scooter.

Geez...she had her arm torn off and still has .25% capacity? Not too shabby. No reason she can't dive.

Damn...this actually sounds like a fun trip. I tend to avoid crowds, but this sounded doable. I alway had a soft spot for Fiji. Of course, I didn't sign up for this since I spent 18 months immersed in the world of cryptocurrencies and missed pretty much all aspects of normal human life. So now I...

I got a SeaCure at one of the DEMA's, and I also got one for my wife. We both hurled at depth - that mouthpiece, even trimmed down, did something to trigger the hurl reflex. Try it - if it works for you, you're a better man/woman/other than I am, InitialPosterDin. If it doesn't work for you...

I used one of the Johnson AirBuoys a bunch of times when I was a kid. They were all gas powered and worked ok. I never heard of anyone getting gacked by carbon monoxide since there's always some kind of wind movement on the ocean. I never thought about actually buying one though. If you're going...

Keep the cert card, the wife has to go. Keep looking, Pilgrim, until you find your mate with the birthdate on the card. Then your life will be fulfilled.

I made the mistake of reading this thread while breathing the ambient air in my living room. My tanks are in my car, and I thought that I could read Scubaboard without mixed gas. I’m horribly narc’ed right now...I read the Chatterton thing and I can’t figure out why Stevie Wonder is pointing a...

Wow...Yamaha-branded underwater scooters. Had to look it up. Looks like one of those crappy Sea-Doo seascooters that I had with a different color molded housing. Nico...I wish you the best of luck with your problem. I resolved my problem with a similar-looking scooter...it’s perfectly quiet now...

gotta love that autocorrect...

Now I dive mainly off Boca on Tony’s boat Diversity, but Boynton, Riviera Beach and Jupiter all always possibilities. I haven’t bothered with Broward county for a long time...I would dive with Parrot Island or American Dream at Pier 66, but that’s been years and years now. Even when I lived in...

In 2006, I had a couple of lousy drops in WPB so I bought a 30’ center console Century with twin 250’s. I did that for 10 years, and it was ok but it was not a gentle tow at 6gph with my F-150. The boat is now in Tobago, the truck got traded in on a Mercedes, and I’m back to the tender mercies...

The Tony flag is the same size...just more plasticky. I liked the ball, but with the Amazon thumb wheel and nylon line, the flag is flat against the buoy until it’s needed.
