    Is the TSA on the alert for people wearing explosive-laden "muscle suits" ?

    Don't forget fat suits. And don't even get me started about IAH TSA lets just say totally unprofessional.

    Best ocean dive sites for beginners--Caribbean preferred

    I think anyplace with really low current. I think allot will say Cozumel anyway, but depending on the currents it can make it rough for a beginner. Bonaire has a really low current but shore diving too can be rough, although you can stick to the boats but where's the adventure in that. Also look...

    Food at All-inclusives in Cozumel

    Stayed at Occidental Grand. The Hotel was only about 30% booked for the week, so things were really off. Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner buffets where about average not great but a little better then any buffet here. The a la carte restaurants I though were great but it they seemed to be having a...

    Newer Diver here looking for new gear advice?!?

    Just go with your gut. For every person that likes something there is one that doesn't. Really think about where you want to go as a diver, then see what one will do the job. Dive safe my friends

    How to travel with gear?

    Just thought I'd add, also check the airline rules for carry-ons. United allows one bag to be put in overhead AND a backpack/messenger/purse ect... that you keep with you or under your seat. Shhhh it's a secret. If you free up some room in your main carry-on of all the small items you might end...

    Food at All-inclusives in Cozumel

    Hmmm starting to wonder. Saw this DOC on people living underwater and they complained that they lost a sense of taste because of the compressed gas. I wonder if divers are suffering from this too. But I'm going to the OG in few weeks so I'll try to report back. I'm a bit of a foodie and have an...

    Heading to Bonaire this weekend

    Loved Buddies, 1) make sure you make a reservation for the Friday night rum and BBQ party. 2) Be careful uf the Donkeys they're everywhere and some are food bullies. (Almost had one in the truck) 3) Night dive the Salt Pier 4) Polar, Amstel, Heinekens are CHEAP. Can't even get domestic beer...

    How to deal with a power inflator that is stuck open at depth?

    Thought I'd share a story. During my rescue class we were practicing finding a unresponsive dive at depth when my inflator became stuck as I was trying to lift the vic up. Was quite shocked since my rig is pretty new (just a year old and under 30 dives). Basically before I noticed it was stuck I...

    New Jersey LDS?

    Blue Water Divers on Route 17 Rochelle Park has always been very fair to me. Don't think it's to far from you but there are some closer but I don't know how good they are.

    Looking for a Tablet to Transfer image files

    +1 for Asus. Android does have limited support USB hubs. It will work with something like a mouse and a flash drive, but I have not have luck connecting my camrea and a flash drive. I do not think it can handle two external storage devices at the same time. No big deal just have to transfer from...

    Bcd noob

    Why doubles? Why not. 1 seems like a good goal for me to get too. 2 either more air or a back up depending on the setup. Next question is then why not use the Ranger to just get into diving with twins? I'm curious as to why the BP/W is the better setup and not to bother with Ranger. I...

    Bcd noob

    OK, I have been up, down, around, and sideways over the scubaboard. Lots of great info so far. But I'm a NOOB. First let me get some basics down first before people start asking "what kind of diving do you do?" I am new to diving just got my OW. I am looking to get my own gear (have most...
