I tried my husband's Henderson wetsuit on, we're about the same build. It was too big in the upper chest region, between neck and armpits. I haven't tried on the Deep 6, but would imagine it might have the same issue for women.

I wonder if the chart is grouping all shark attacks, not just GWS. I don't recall any GW attacks. Besides the nips at surfers, the serious attacks on swimmers I remember were Bulls and a Hammerhead Correction: The attack I remembered from Pensacola was another Bull, not a Hammerhead

If I remember correctly, when I did AOW with NASE primary donate was discussed in the e-learning materials and it just made the most sense to me. My rental equipment for the rest of the class was set up with an octo, but as soon as I bought my own reg set I had Deep 6 send it with a long hose on...

I will have a lift bag, so starting with the double AL80s should work with the wetsuit. Using a stage is still a bit up the road, but I was hoping to cover that possibility with this wing. I'm planning on renting double LP85s to try both sets for my class, but if the steels are too heavy to be...

It's not difficult it's just the depth, most diving is done deeper than OW. I think the shallowest site I've been on is 9 mile ledge which is around 75" Edit: You might also check with Sea Hunt Scuba, they may know if there are any OW options nearby. I've never been out with them, but they also...

Thank you! I'm always monitoring the used gear listings, it'd be great if a used drysuit my size came up. I'm a pretty cold diver :cool:

The LP 85s & AL80's were suggested by my instructor as doubles that would prob work for me. I'll be pairing up the AL80's to start, but I just chose the heaviest for wing lift planning. I dive a 7mm with a 5/3vest in the springs, but the 5mm is what I usually use for my FL salt dives. I don't...

I'm putting together gear for an upcoming Intro to tech class, with AN/DP sometime in the near future, and trying to determine what size doubles wing. I played around with the Optimal Buoyancy calculator, but had to guesstimate some entries. Using 'worst case" scenario - my 5mm wetsuit, double...

Could you change my SB name to Flotsam? Thanks!

We did go out! The seas were 'sporty', I think 4ish with some 6". But it was fun and the viz was good (not great). We didn't do the Castor, but went to the Budweiser/ Sailfish Wrecks. There was no current and everything was pretty brown. There were 5 Goliath's on the Bud, thumping away, I've...

The viz is still settling down from Hurricane Dorian

The last report I saw was from yesterday, and viz on the snorkel trail was zero... Edit - the post was yesterday, the report was on Monday viz

Ah, good to know. Thank you! These are all white, but another pair for sale was all black. They weren't there color-coded banded ones like the EU has, but I remember now coming across an all white tank for sale a couple years ago, without a burst valve. I'll make sure I see DOT before purchasing

The answer to my question is probably the obvious one, but when buying used, are the painted Faber's the tanks actually painted white/black? Currently thinking about buying a set of white LP 85 to double up, and just wanted to make sure I knew the difference between HDG and painted...

If anyone is interested and around on Thursday, Starfish Scuba is scheduled for dives on Castor and a reef. I think we have enough divers for the boat to go out, but there's still 7 spots left. Crossing fingers for viz tho... And my group is going out with JDC over the weekend too! See you...

Sending you an email regarding aluminium backplate...

That's awesome, I've been looking for a double-dip on the Castor! Think I can make Monday...

I haven't been out with them, but River Safaris does semiprivate charters. It's $80 per person, but I'm sure they needs a minimum to go out. On the weekend it's probably not a problem. The upside to going out with a charter is they know where the scallops are. I went out with friends last year...

I've done a couple months in Scotland & NZ, and managed to get all my clothes into my carryon with packing cubes. The clothes I pack can be mixed different ways to get multiple outfits with fewer pieces. I usually have to wear my coat/scarf, and heaviest shoes onto the plane :) My go-to...
