Yes, according to PADI tables 60' for 55mins the ndl

There are a few charters that will take you to the U-352 (I recommend Discovery Diving, I'm biased). Regardless of who you use, I would call soon to see if there's any charters going to or maybe put together a charter for that date. The U-85 is off the outer banks and I'm not sure of the...

Not sure about Cozumel specifically, however both species have been identified in the Gulf of Mexico. P. volitans is the most common, P. miles only makes up a small percentage of the population. P. miles has fewer dorsal spines, 10 compared to volitans 13, and they don't have as many spikes on...

They're native to the red sea, indian ocean, south Pacific. Sharks and parasites keep them in check over there, and I would assume that there's a few other fish that prey on them as well.

Yes, there are 2 species of lionfish, Pterois volitans and P. miles. P. Volitans is the red lionfish.

Surace temp offshore in August is usually in the low 80s, but that's not where your diving. The bottom temp at 100ft depends, It'll be in the 70s one week and the next there's big time thermocline and the water is in the upper 60s. So I would bring the suit. I have a 3mil suit I wear in the...

I dive with them, love them, have about 100 dives with them and no issues. The spring straps are awesome. Super light (they float) and great push on up and down strokes.

Awesome article. I dove with the writer, cool chick and I was one of the Discovery Diving crew that pulled those lionfish and pictured with them (dude in the blue boardshorts, next to Capt Leroy, Captian's Lady)

El's is top notch

Discovery Diving has awesome charters, they have a hotel also, Beaufort Harbor Suites, nice place. I really only have experience with Terry (capt. Outrageous V) and Leroy (capt. Captain's Lady). Both stand up operators and the Out V has a great crew, usually steve and dean. Dive sites, there's...

Usually the venom breaks down fairly quickly after the lionfish dies. So after 2 hours the venom should have been pretty much broken down. I've been stuck by a live one and its was definitely a torch and sledgehammer feeling. It was terrible, wouldnt wish it on anyone.

I would hope the individual would pass out before water entered the lungs. We touch on shallow water blackout (holding your breath, diving down and blacking out before you reach the surface) in our OW classes and you need about 1psi of O2 in your lungs to stay conscious. So I'm gonna venture a...

I cant remember off the top of my head, they dont come very often, but i think the working pressure is 2600? The 8*84 is probably a hydro date. If its in line with manufacturer / serial number then its the first hydro date

72s and 90s are pretty close in size, at the shop we have both and it seems like the 90s are just a little bigger in diameter. The tanks were made in the late 70s though, not sure if that makes any difference

I heard Terry say it went from 4' to 6' pretty quick today. Hopefully it'll be better tomorrow.

They had 20-25ft of vis on the Hutton and 15-20ft on the Indra today. Should get better as the week progresses.

That's hardcore. I dove all winter here in nc and coldest it got was 44. Waiting in ice to melt..That's dedication. Good on ya! Keep at it, welcome to sb and dive safe.

Vis was good on the Aelous today, they had 40 - 50ft. Which is kind of surprising, seeing how crappy its been all week.

This is true. I just did a search and there's nothing about morrison being closed. I am suprised that no one has posted anything about it. I definitely agree there should have been signs and the gate locked. I hope all is well.

That sucks man. That advisory has been in effect for a while, well at least since April.
