    Anyone have the story on this clip?

    Apparently it was a South African salvage diver... Scuba diver struck from behind by massive great white shark (video) If there was sound, I bet we'd hear the shark snort with laughter :D

    Which US Divers Reg

    But it was a hand me down, of a hand me down, of a hand me down... With no marks on the first stage, could have been put together from random bits of old regs :p Least that's something I would've done. But thanks for the confirmation! I'll probably have the LDS give it a professional service...

    Which US Divers Reg

    Oops! I tried to, let me give it another go... From the plastic second stages, I got the feeling the set up is probably mid-90's. But couldn't find a photo of the first stage on Google

    Which US Divers Reg

    I picked up several pieces of equipment as a lot, and it included a US Divers Reg - I think the 1st stage is an Aquarius, can anyone verify? The tanks, BCD, and computer were a good deal, so I wasn't too concerned if it was a worthwhile reg. But it would be great to use it as a pony reg and/or...

    Anyone use a double-hatch Scupper Pro?

    I've been looking for a SOT to use for snorkeling, scalloping, and black water rivers. I'd also like some storage for camping or diving gear. Diving would probably be what I used it for least, since I live in NC FL. Most of the Scupper Pros tank wells or Scrambler XTs have been in the $450-$500...

    Back in SE FL

    Are you calling the charter operators directly to find which boats have enough divers to go, or does a shop like Force E know? I'm coming down the week before Christmas and am hoping there will be enough weekday divers (and good weather) for boat dives :)

    Best/worst airport for going through customs on the east coast?

    I had a tight connection coming into San Francisco that I would have never made without Global Entry. And the added TSA Pre check is icing on the cake :wink:

    First dive, no dive buddy. ☹️

    I don't have a buddy either, and travel solo. Like the previous posters said, talk with the dive ops and maybe use a dm/guide the first day. I haven't been to Belize, but I'm usually paired up with an instabuddy or added as a third to another pair of divers. I tell the dive ops I'm alone when...

    Why do you drink Starbucks?

    Coffee-smell pee is definitely a thing - I notice it most when I'm dehydrated :coffee: And the Starbucks sizing is soooo obnoxious IMG_20171009_133114 by msbovary posted Nov 9, 2017 at 6:02 PM

    Why do you drink Starbucks?

    I only drink it when I'm traveling. Like someone said, it's consistent (mediocre), and I can use my phone app to order ahead and pay. After a few orders I get a free one, and give my husband a 5000 calorie frappa-coffeemilkshake. When I traveled through NZ, they have a great coffee culture, and...

    Drift diving in the Keys

    True! I bailed out of an afternoon dive I was scheduled for, totally expecting to pay for it, and was very grateful when I wasn't charged. Found out my Bonine's limit is 4-6ft seas, and that I will pay $70 to not throw up

    Drift diving in the Keys

    By the time Rainbow Reef adjusted plans to give us the best options available due to currents & viz, I ended up with 4 dives on the Spiegel, 2 on the Benwood, 1 Duane, and still got a drift dive :) Wrecks and reefs look great after the storm (to me - only dived the keys one other time), and...

    vestibular bend (IEDCI) - will the balance restore completely?

    I'm so sorry about your injury! Hopefully a dive medical professional will chime in with a more knowledgeable response, but I wonder if your ENT could prescribe some rehab or PT for the balance problems. Years ago, I was diagnosed with vestibulo-ocular reflex deficit (non-dive related) and it...

    skinsuit bottoms (swim tights?)

    I have a couple pair from Athleta and love them! Especially when warm water diving, when all you need is skin protection. http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=97464&pcid=97464&vid=1&pid=627155002 They are out of season now, so there isn't really a selection, just black. I think Prana...

    Drift diving in the Keys

    Thanks! I drift dive Jupiter area, so alot of my diving is drift over reefs. I was hoping this was a bit more like wall dive, since I haven't done one. I'll probably check it out, but like you said, focus on wrecks the next time :)
