Some friends and I are putting together a trip to Key West in September, right after Labor Day. I am seeking any advice and pointers about what to do there, which operators you have had good expereince with, any resturants or hotels to use or avoid. I am specifically planning on diving the...

Okay, thanks to the photos Thrills N Giggles has of Morrisons from a week ago I see the answer to my question. Some ou my friends were planning a Rescue Class checkout there next weekend. Has anyone had any good gulf dives lately? Doug

Hetland, the link you listed of the Prediction Service, how accurate is that to determine if the river is over Morrisons and how do I use that web site? Thanks, Doug

Hi guys (and gals), anyone have a report on Morrisons? LAst tme I was viz was so bad as not to suit up. I was thinking of Vortex just to get wet but it seems that would be a waste of time. Thanks

Just as an update, I eventually called and spoke with a a couple of guys that were most helpful. We had to do some work via the phone using the Analyst software but he guy heling me was willing to do on his off time, work time, or weekends...whatever it took and it seems the problems have been...

In 2009 I bought a Cochran computer and what a dissappointment it has been. It has been in the repair shop more days than it has been minutes in the water. Twice after I bought it if malfunctioned while I was on a trip. Added to agravation of the unit failing during the trip is the time for...

I dont have an answer to your question but I would like to add another question/scenario. This past weekend I was taking pictures with my DC 800 in shallow clear spring water on a sunny day. Not long ago in similiar conditions I did not use the Ocean Blue and had greenish blue pictures. This...

Hey all, Some friends and I are planining a Florida springs dive next week that we want to include sight seeing manatees in Crystal River FL. Can anyone tell me if manates are there? Also, has anyone stayed at the Port Hotelrecently that can give me a review? Thanks Doug

I am truly sorry for the guy that is lost and for the family he leaves behind. Does anyone kknow what type of gear he was using (OC,CCR, etc)? I assume a rebreather. Dive Lvr

Thanks cloud

I read the mfr suggested depth limit for the KISS Sport is 130 ft. I also read of people that modify the unit to be able to go down deeper. I am not interested in actually making any such modification but I would like to know what causes the depth limit. Thanks, DiveLvr

The prerequisits of SM and Deco did raise my eyebrow and make me wonder ask for a class syllabus. Thanks

Thanks everyone, I think we are of the same opinion. I can some value in SM if and when I start restrictive penetrations but until I prefer the back mounted doubles. I am looking at a couple of different agencies: Padi/TechRec and TDI. I have had EAN and Rebreather training through ANDI. My...

I want to take a Tech Course, mostly just making deep open water dives (non pentetration dives to 132+). I have very good scuba equipment for single tank diving. I assumed a set of doubles would be needed but the instructor said doubles are out they don't use doubles but side mount systems only...

I would imagine good bit of the costs is to cover the added liabilty insurance the manufacturer needs to carry.

Four regular divers on a 6 pack going to Oriskany this Saturday afternoon, have 2 empty slots. Contact me if interested in going. DiveLvr (Doug)

Coop42, well as it turns out there is two ways to set Ocean Blue adn one of those ways does not require me to set Sea Mode. Guess which way I chose? I always bypassed the Sea Mode step and went right to White Balance and select Ocen BlueThis past weekend, after reading the manual, I followed...

Thanks to everyone for replying. Coop How do I decide between Ocean Blue and Ocean Green? None of the pictures I attached were taken with a strobe. Some were in shallow spring water (12'-16') and some were in about 65' ocean.

Okay folks I am trying to gt my "natural light" techiniques honed. I have a DC 800. Any pointers on what I am doing wrong? The pictures "Morrisons" were taken in a spring about 15-20 ft deep. They seem to have too much blue. The others ("Panama City") are in saltwater about 65 ft deep...

Thanks. I thought about that and tried to find a website that would have that information. I found a few that gave the levels the Choctawahatchee River but wasn't sure what the numbers were telling me. Can you advise on a site and what water level would be considered good to dive. On another...
