Hey everybody, A buddy of mine is just getting back into diving. I figured a nice, shallow, shore dive is a nice way to ease back into the world of diving. I have been reading about the Lofthus, and I think it fits the bill. I have some info from (what else?) Mike Barnett's Shipwrecks of the...

H2Andy, this is great info. Please don't waste your time trying to give this guy a real answer, it just encourages him. ;) Just look at his history.....full o' $h!t in the extreme ;)

pfffff.....I'm classy. I brew my own wine in old chem drums :D

:rofl3::rofl3::rofl3: I don't even have anything else to add to this, but my keyboard does not appreciate it when i spit fine wine on it form laughing so friggin hard!

:rofl3: After a month or so of silence.....he's back to troll :rofl3:

This was forwarded to me by my school as a warning. This just goes to show that you can be educated and still be a moron ;) One of my fellow OE majors... FAU student lost at sea overnight on a kayak By JASON SCHULTZ Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Tuesday, June 23, 2009 A Florida...

Keep in mind, this is all coming from a Florida boy who dives wet year round, but: Have you considered making the jump to a drysuit? It would seem to me that if you are diving in your local waters, as well as waters in the bahamas and caribbean, you would want the most versatile suit. A...

Thought it was about time to bump this. If this doesn't work, I might have to dip into the ol' school fund and buy some new ones. :D

Hello All: I am looking to buy a set of used force fins, possibly 2. I am looking for the standard model force fins, or even the Pros. I am looking for size ML(when I go no booties) and size L(for wearing with booties). I would prefer black, as I am a SCUBA ninja. PM me with what you got. Thanks

I know this is a long shot, but my girlfriend dropped a reel that we had just bought near Anglin Pier at Lauderdale By the Sea. It had a black body and a yellow ratchet/spindle. Funny thing is, I had picked it up at a dive shop not 30 minutes before it was lost. Like I said, but $50 is $50...

How is this better than just taking a 5 pound lead weight and knocking it on the ladder? I have been on a handful of dive boats that have done this, and it has seemed very effective, in my limited experience.

Grammar!!!! Punctuation!!!!

I own an Evo 3 mm, and a Pinnacle 5mm. When you look at an Evo side by side with other neoprene, it looks like a wet towel. It fits nicely, but the neoprene is cheap. My pinnacle cruiser 5mm, on the other hand, is great. It has become my go-to suit. I am a fairly small guy, but I have pretty...

Jpmaniac, from broke-ass college student to broke-ass college student: If you're as broke as I am, and you're serious about getting into SCUBA, I suggest getting certified first. Also, you can usually find really good deals here on Scubaboard, in your local area on Craig's List, or even on Ebay...

Don't remember who conducted the tests, but a handful of whistles and SMBs were tested in real conditions. (2-3 foot seas, I believe) The visibility/audibility were tested at expanding radii. In those tests, with engines and the seas, the DiveAlert whistle was audible at over 1 mile away. I...

What's the shipping? :rofl3:

In my short career as a diver, I have been entangled 3 separate times. Two of the times, it was over at the Blue Heron Bridge. The third time, my airline got fouled up around the prop and rudder on a 53 foot Hatteras. Both times at the bridge were pretty easily dealt with. The worse of the two...

The nerd in me made me check it out. It is actually a quote from Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. Also responsible for such gems as: -The mind of the bigot is like the pupil of the eye: the more light you shine on it, the more it will contract. -Taxes are the price we pay for a...

Is that a twist in the old Voltaire standby:(paraphrasing) "My right to swing my arm stops at your nose."
