    oil drilling within 50nm of key west

    As if anyone cared what happens to South Florida and the sugar combines. The point is that we need the oil so as to get off the addiction to the Middle East. The rest of the stuff doesn't matter.

    November 2, 2011 Florida Keys Diver Death

    I get sick and tired of people speculating on how easy and fun it is to die while diving or anything else. Having a heart attack while diving is NOT my way of happily 'going out doing the thing I like to do' or any other time. People who make remarks like this are insulting to the departed. My...

    oil drilling within 50nm of key west

    Uhhhhh, let's see. Don't deal with Cuba because they are commies. Do deal with China because they are commies. Very confusing. There was info going around a couple years ago about the Chinese drilling off of Key West in Cuban-claimed waters, so what's new? We are the dumb***es for not knocking...

    Friday the 13th Islamorada dive with pix

    Islamorada, my favorite place to go. Too bad about the viz but good about the water temp. Wonder what the bottom temp would be on the Eagle lately? Any idea.

    LP second stage oring shore rating questions and size

    Uhhhhhh....Let's see. Politics is spelled p-o-l-i-t-i-c-s and patriot is spelled p-a-t-r-i-o-t. I would think that even a semi-educated person would notice the difference.

    Rock center (tv Show)

    Having lived in Honduras from 1979 to 1982 and spent several years later on in the country, I can attest to the slave-like conditions that the lobster divers lived along the Mosquito Coastal area. It hasn't changed much since those days. No equipment to speak of, doing ten to twenty dives a day...

    LP second stage oring shore rating questions and size

    fjpatrum: What superlyte27 said and, to answer your question, since you asked: If my life will be depending on an O-ring staying together and in place I suggest that I will buy the best available. Being an extreme Patriot, I try to buy everything I can that is made by Americans and in the USA to...

    Very few cats actually like being in water. You might want to update your emergency room coverage before attempting this.

    LP second stage oring shore rating questions and size

    You can buy o-ring kits from any online scuba equipment supplier for almost nothing. Usually the mailing cost is more than the o-ring. I doubt that the shore rating would come into play, just so it fits. You might try NAPA also. Try to buy something made in the USA. I don't trust the Chinese...

    PADI Adventure Diver versus Advanced Open Water Certification?

    What mathauck0814 said. Just another cash cow for PADI and the dive shop operator. Only thing is that you will probably need an OAW cert to dive mo$t of the wreck$. It's all about money, Dude.

    Advice on dive operators in Key Largo

    I like Horizon Divers because of their boat and the Ramada nearby. It's a short walk from the hotel to the dive shop and you get a decent room for a good price. You might have to hire a DM to go with your pack but I like their attitude.

    Thailand or Vietnam or Philippines

    I can't see where there would be a visibility problem with the whole coastline of VN. Probably around the deltas and river mouth and nearby depending on the ocean currents. But I am sure that there is plenty of good diving along the coast. Of course, everything would have to be mobile unless...

    Safety while shooting video and photos...

    Strange question for a guy with 500-1000 dives with "lots of video and photos while diving".

    Auctioning the Titanic ?

    Oh. I thought you meant the ship itself. I was ready to bid a dollar. An example of British engineering you know.

    10am morning dive

    I want to take a short cruise, no more than a 4-day, to Cozumel and want to find a ship that gets there in the morning in time for me to take a cab to a dive operator in time to do a morning dive. Most of the ships I've looked at get there around 8am which doesn't give me enough time to do a...
