    SeaSucker single tank holder

    I looked at those SeaSucker clamps, and I bet they work great 99% of the time. It's just that 1% that's the problem. When you're in a SHTF situation, that's when that big steel tank is going to decide to pull loose and add to the fun.

    Prescription mask advice

    Get him some monovision contacts. When he's older, then he can get LASIK. It worked great for me.

    Preferred DSMB length and width

    I carry the OMS 9'7" orange sausage. It's long enough to bend into a triangle which makes it way easier for the dive boat to see if they're downsun from you. I've also been rescued at sea off Florida and Hawaii, so I carry a Nautilus as well. Nothing like surfacing and seeing nothing else on the...

    The Ethics of Full Disclosure on ScubaBoard

    Whew...slogged through this to the end. Some of the opinions expressed were pretty strong, almost as strong as Ajax, the super strong bathroom cleaner...

    Fort Lauderdale winter diving -- how to stay warm?

    I always liked my dry suit in the winter. With just shorts and a t-shirt underneath, I only needed 4 pounds of weights with my steel b/p. In the middle of winter, especially at night, this is maybe one or two million times better than any wetsuit. In a trilamdrysuit, you feel the cold of the...

    Thinking about diving as a career and want advice!

    I was in the dive biz for 20 years or so. I cashed out at the end of it all in Hawaii and pretty much never have had to work in this century. I don't have much advice to offer here, although try to keep the ex-wives to a minimum. My first divorce cost me $1.5 million back in the mid '80's, and a...

    Reading lenses in a mask

    Since you wear contacts, try monovision. I had the stick-on lenses. Junk. I had the Seavision mask with the -2.0 diopter in the lower part. eBayed. Monovision sure works great for me, above and below.

    Good Community To Retire In Florida To Fish And Dive.

    These "best place to live in Floriduh" threads are always mind numbing...the thought of having to live in some of the places mentioned makes my blood run cold. But then again, my choices would sound like hell-on-earth to most people, but most of them aren't here anyway. As long as this state has...

    Best Place In Palm Beach For Drysuit Training/alterations?

    I went with oval seals. Initially latex, then silicone. I hated the latex seals, but the silicone were pretty neat. All of my dry suits finally got too leaky. If I get another one, it'll probably be a DUI 30-30.

    Best Place In Palm Beach For Drysuit Training/alterations?

    You can do the wrists yourself with the heat tape from Dive Right in Scuba. I wouldn't mess with the neck installation, and I had all the tools. Your closest best bet is Steve Gamble in Gainesville. The other estimable option to consider is a relief zipper. I had a p-valve in my dry suit, and it...

    Sea-Doo Explorer X instructions

    I just did this earlier this year with an orange-and-black Sea-Doo. I think it was the POS model. Oh wait, that's the whole product line. My garbage can was green though.

    DSD Fatality in Thailand | Feb 2016

    This Mr. Brannigan sure sounds like a piece of work. I did DSDs for years in Hawaii. Mostly Japanese. A lot of haoles, but thousands of Japanese. We never had a problem, but every now and then, some other assclown working for someone else would manage to kill a tourist. Those guys were all...

    Most important GoPro tip ever!

    Well this was actually a worthwhile thread. Imagine that on Scubaboard! I got a retractor from Amazon, and it really is an effing great idea. Mahalo for this one.

    Plotek - nice stuff. Maybe we'll cross paths when I go wandering over there in a bit.

    Problem with generic braided hoses

    I wish that I had read this thread yesterday. Groucho Marx said that any club that would have him as a member, he didn't want any part of. I became a reluctant member of the 11Q3 club on the Diversity dive boat this morning just before I splashed in. Captain Tony said that he has seen four hose...
