Looks like a dispute between a White Speckled Hermit and a Red Banded Hermit as to which one owns the rights to occupy a single shell.

To the best of my recollection, prime time to see Great Hammerhead Sharks off of Bimini is in the winter months. I’ve only visited there in January and February while looking for these magnificent fish and have yet to be disappointed. I’ve also been to Bimini in summer but had no intention nor...

Sorry about that. For several decades now I have subscribed to the New York Times and the local paper of record where I reside. I was unaware that you need a subscription to the Sun-Sentinel to access the article. To encapsulate: the article sated that pending a review, a three month season...

Just saw this published in today's Florida Sun-Sentinel https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/environment/fl-ne-florida-goliath-grouper-20211006-kljwh4zu5faqbnasw62xki2hr4-story.html

I suppose that if most of the people who watched and enjoyed James Cameron’s film “Titanic” decided not to see it because they knew how the story ended, Mr. Cameron would be making commercials for local used car dealerships in his hometown of Kapuskasing, Ontario these days. The journey is...

This shop is well south of you, (just a bit south of Ft. Lauderdale International Airport,) but did offer quick turnaround on hydros. I've used Marc Buck's services a bit in the past, but at the time he ran a cash only business. That dissuaded me from giving him more of my custom as I didn't...

Thank you for the leads on open spots @JimBlay. I actually have very little trouble finding spaces on charters heading out for Goliath dives, and usually avoid weekend diving during peak seasons. I’m a self employed commercial photographer and prefer to distance myself from crowds whenever...

I snooze, I lose. I’ve been waiting to see what Neptune had in store regarding the marine weather forecast before booking spots for the designated aggregation aggregation. Good news is that TS Grace now appears to be heading away from the SE coast of Florida. so seas should be quite manageable...

Nice to know that there is a pair available, but finding/purchasing them is only the secondary or tertiary reason that I started the thread. I was hoping that someone here who has experience diving with this particular equipment would chime in with their impressions. As you, @Haginheimer have...

The image is low res and the fish is only a small part of the entire image. I cannot zoom in on the subject, so positive ID is difficult. My first impression is that you found either a Rosy Razorfish, Hemipteronotus martinicensis or Green Razorfish, Hemipteronotus splendens It is definitely...

I heard via word of mouth that similar numbers were observed around the Zion/Wreck-trek on Wednesday.

Using braided hoses.

Thanks @Asheron and @rjack321

Does anybody on this board have personal experience with aftermarket back-mounted counter-lungs for Megs or ISC Pathfinders? I’ve been woolgathering and hoping that ISC would offer a BMCL option for a dog’s age. The only option that I know of that is currently available, (I presume that it is...

To eat at Sylvia's, go to The Apollo, visit friends and family, and etc.

As this thread is in the basic forum, I presume that you are a relatively new diver, and based on your location in Colombia, have not experienced any dives with Emerald Charters or other operators in close proximity to Jupiter, Florida yet. I don’t know if there is any operation in the...

To the OP. Can it ignite, detonate, explode, or fizzle? Yes. Will it? That depends on the specific nature of the materials and the circumstances of their treatment. Unless you know precisely what you are looking at, and are certain that you know exactly how to treat it, you’re probably best...

This thread is entitled "At what point should I get diver insurance?" Now. Jut join DAN. Hopefully you'll never need it, but it can be indispensable should the fates take a hand.

Water temperature was 58° on the Hydro Atlantic wreck off of Pompano yesterday. Today’s visit to the Lowrance was scrubbed. Rough seas were acceptable, but surface current was estimated at over 6 knots. Making turns for 4 knots, we were moving at 12 to the north. Even factoring in the added...

Hello @peeweediver You’ve been active on this site for over a decade, so I hate to have to say this but; “the search function is your friend.” Many folks have answered your query succulently and specifically in the not too distant past. I’ve done so several times. Miami is a fairly large...
