    Dive Condition Reports

    My first time on the river but it seemed crowded. 100s (maybe 1000s) of tubers. We entered at Hinman Island park and drifted all the way down to the last exit near Union and Lincoln streets. It took about 2.5 hours to make that long drift down the river. From Hinman Island Park to the concrete...

    Tank recertification in Dallas/Fort Worth area?

    Cylinder Services 1953 Chenault St Dallas, TX 75228‎ (214) 328-1010 They did the hydro test for my AL80s for $25/tank last year. I think they had my tanks ready in two days. Yes you will still need a separate visual inspection test even after you have the hydro test performed. They are...

    Comal River Status for Saturday 6/1/13?

    Today the vis varied from 5-10 feet from Himan Island park to the concrete chute. From after the chute to the last public exit it was zero most of the time with a few patches you could see a couple of feet.

    Anyone familar with Broken Bow?

    Maybe try searching the Texas regional forum: Texas I've never been there but I have seen people submit reports on Broken Bow from time to time.

    So...I was up to Murray yesterday

    I've been on three trash cleanup dives and always borrowed someone's bag to put my "loot" in. I think this is very similar to what I used and only $10 plus shipping: TYR Mesh Equipment Bag Good idea using a laundry bag. I'm going to check that out.

    Dive Condition Reports

    Pretty good vis. 10-20 feet. Slightly better in spots where no one had visited recently and stirred up the silt. Thermocline at 25 feet. 64F below the thermocline and 75F above it. The plane, several platforms, the Cisco, and nearby areas visited. Many bass (some surprisingly curious), croppy...

    So...I was up to Murray yesterday

    I pick up bits and pieces on any dive I'm on as long as it fits my small BC pocket. Trash cleanups are fun if you're bored with general sightseeing. At least it gives you something to do. And there's plenty of junk in the Lake Murray to pick up. Just in the Marietta Landing area I think it would...

    cenote combined snorkel and dive

    You can snorkel Gran Cenote. I didn't snorkel it (I dove it) but I saw many others snorkeling it. No doubt you could all go out there as a group on the same day and the divers could dive and the snorkelers could snorkel and come back together. It's near Tulum and over and hour drive from Cancun...

    Dive Condition Reports

    Lake Murray Oklahoma (Marietta Landing) on 4/28/2013 I saw pretty much the same conditions on two dives from the beach. The first was a Northerly and back course. The second was going East from the beach along the wall and back. Temps were as low as 59F on one dive and 60F on another. Vis was...

    Feedback on a few Texas lakes?

    Yeah if you stay shallow enough you don't need to see your SPG anyway.

    Scubapro X650, to buy or not to buy

    I bought one used off of Ebay in 2009 I think and had it rebuilt immediately. I've had no issues really after 100+ dives with it once I understood how to use it correctly. There's a switch that goes between dive mode and surface mode. You can't ignore that switch. You must place it in surface...

    Robbery warning, Punta Cana. Dominican Republic

    The DR is a scary country when it comes to crime. It's the only place I saw fast food restaurant (a Burger King) that had a guard armed with a shotgun and that was during the daytime even. You need street smarts there if you leave the AI (all inclusive) by yourself. If you go book the trip...

    Henderson Aqua Lock

    Dang. I bought a set of Aqualock suit, hood, boots, and gloves about two years ago. So far I've enjoyed it as it's enabled me to do alot of things I could never do in my old 2.5mm shorty. I see the noticable wear on the orange inner lining. No issues with the wrist/ankle seals yet. Mine seems...

    Is 40 too late

    It's not about age it's about your health. Plenty of people in their 60s (and beyond) dive.
