I'm looking to do some Doubles/Intro. level dives at the end of this month. Any one interested in a day or two in the High springs area? 4th or 5th is also an option as plan B. Henry

FYI Channel 5 had some coverage of the state inspection crew last night. They said the bridge is safe and is scheduled to be replaced next year. Henry

Suzan, check all the facts first. I heard the report on 5 saying they wanted to ban the collection of marine life, not to ban diving. I hope that I didnt miss the ban diving part but have a look and see:confused: Let us know how it works out. Henry

Actually December is still summer:D I'll have to vote for Key largo also. It not only has excellent wrecks, your visibility will be much better than Key West. 0Mil for reefs and 3mil for wrecks and deco dives works great. FYI Do bring weather gear for the ride out and back. Your chances of...

Hmmm, reminds me of the one I lost on the Spiegle grove. Had to sit there and watch it float down out of sight while on a deco stop. New lens now has a leash:D

Personally, I'd vote for #3 to run the bag. "But" every situation has its own unique characteristics. For instance a team may need to shoot a bag upon leaving a wreck to allow the surface vessel to track the drifting deco. Shooting a large Smb by yourself with a reel is high on my task loading...

Thanks for this posting! I always feel violated when I see some idiots grabbing, mauling and destroying this unique niche.:no Henry

Do factor in the additional length of the yoke adaptor when attached to your Din Reg. I use a yoke converter when I travel to places that they dont have din tanks. The main problem is that the adaptor puts the valve right into the back of my head/ or neck. Scubapro will switch back and...

Try Brownies Palm Beach divers in Riviera Beach, or Fill Express a little hike down the road in Pompano. Henry

This has been a very educational post, thanks for starting it! I read the article on Rebreather World explaining the GF factors and manipulation and Yes, now I have a basic understanding of using the GF to change the loading amounts of the compartments: However : It seems that this tweaking...

Jim, do a search on Pura vida on the board, you will be hard pressed to find anyone who has not enjoyed their service. On the other hand we had a nice dive with them as usual on sunday. Ps:The dry towels they provide came in very handy!! Henry

Check also: Brownies Palm Beach Divers, they are just around the corner from the bridge also. We often get 2+ runtimes at the bridge using an AL80. This profile puts us in the water way before high tide and well after, both of which are not the best times to be in the water unless you are...

Should I be looking for someone in a drysuit? I got some great Pics during the week at the bridge always some critters wanting to be seen:D Henry

Hi all, were doing a recreational(Fun Dive!) with Pura Vida divers in Riviera Beach this Sunday at 8:30. If anyone wants to join in give them a shout at (561) 840-8750. Hopefully we'll do a wreck and a reef but we'll see:D I'll have my camera out and ready for some action, feel free to let...

Wow, heres a question with a different answer for each person depending on such factors as body composition, Wetsuit floatation and weight of the rig itself. The best way to find out before you go on vacation is to find some quality time in the water or pool first to sort out your trim and...

Glad everyone enjoyed the snapshots! Yes we did get silted a few times:D I did see you guys doing working the reel on the picnic bench, I've been known to run a few hundred feet of line on occasion around the small bridge to keep the skills up... Oh and yes all of the pics are from the small...

Yes. Its the Blue Heron Bridge due east of you:D Henry

BHB12-15,16-07 - a photoset on Flickr Since the Ocean was so bad we tooled around BHB and had lunch with the local cast of characters. Lots of Divers had the same idea, vis was a bit down due to the ocean being so rough, but still it left some opportunites for a few shots:D Henry

For the best Recreational I'd put in a vote for the Sea Emporer. A poor excuse for a wreck but the sea life and resident moray and stingrays are always a treat for me:D For Tech. I would second the Hydro. not only does it have an abundance of sea life, but also has some great sightseeing...
