Boynton is an excellent alternative to Jupiter, West Palm,North Palm. The reef is a little shallower, and the Wrecks south of Boynton are great!;) All in all if you've dove any area other than Boynton, I highly recomend Boynton as your next destination here in the Palm beaches.;) If...

Hi all just wondering with the reopen of Phil Foster Park if anyone has the latest info. on diving within 300 feet of bridges? someone had mentioned that with 911 there are new rules regarding these things.... Henry

Most "normal" people get a provisional pass when they take the class. The skills and techniques presented are very different from what you learn in regular dive certification. They do have a complete openwater class now that should keep people from learning bad habits to begin with. Pass or...

Sorry I'll miss out on the Lauderdale dive, sounds like fun. I'll be at tigertail lake near the Bass pro shop for Halcyon days, then hopefully over to the beach for the other dive show. I did talk to the folks at Force E about the Phil Foster opening and they think it will be next month. They...

I went by the Park this morning also. I must have come across the same electrician;) When I asked him about opening for the General public he gave a pretty hearty laugh..

I looked at the Park yesterday, looks very nice and clean at the bridge end. Hopefully there wont be to many fisher's on the Old bridge section! As far as the current goes remember there is a Island taxi at Peanut Island now ;) Weekends are rough at this location due to the high volume of...

Actually the Sheriff or Marine Patrol at the park are not as nasty as the Park Rangers they have stationed at the Park now that they've upgraded and improved it. On another note I've always hung around the new bridge pilings at the southwest tip of the park, just plan the tide before the...

I got my Halcyon v-weights at Brownies. Of course its nice to have them available locally. EE in High springs has them also. Maybe there is a halcyon dealer near you to save on the shipping. Henry

Gotta love that one;) ;) Triathetes aside, when determining heart rates we take the info. off the heart rate monitor after a blazing sprint right before you pass out. This is Max. 80percent and other zones can be calculated off of this number. All measurements are not written in stone...

No thoughts but thanks for the link so I can check them out. Sounds interesting. Henry

OOOh an Aircam:D (drool, drool)! Flying anywhere has got to be the unltimate in that rig, youre one lucky travler in my book! Are you going to be posting those GPS numbers any time soon:D Henry (Nifty 150 driver)

Just out of curiousity for a friend of mine.;) Since the mask is a low volume variety, does it fit larger noses? I havnt seen the mask locally yet to try on. (To check the fit for my friend) ;) Henry

Splashdown and diversity are great bets for the area and there are many more great operators in our area. Personally I would take the drive up to Boynton. But dont sell the Pompano area short, on any weekday dive you have a lot of say in where the boat goes..speak up Henry Feel free...

For all those posts that I see from people interested in coming down to Palm Beach County these Cams are for you. And also for locals who want to check the Surf and Weather conditions. Henry http://www.pbcgov.com/erm/beachcams.asp

Blue Heron Bridge is shut down at Phil Foster Park right now. Its under construction. Breakers is great if you follow the old pier out but parking is a hassle in Palm beach. Singer Island out the Inlet is great But mind the tide. What about the Tiki hotel? cant remember the real name at the...

Starfish has a ladder and handrails. Also Doubles freindly. I havn't found a poor operator among any mentioned here, and splashdown has a great following of regular divers as well as the rest. Just as a note some dump off groups "whereever" on the dive, which causes concern about safety and...

I cant believe noone is mentioning the Starfish. http://www.idivestarfish.com/ Boynton is the best diving around and the Starfish is very accomodating for whatever kind of diving that you want to do. I also have most of the Boats contact #'s in Boynton and up in Riviera beach.(Narcosis...

What about compressability at depth? My 5mil is toasty topside but still leaves me freezing at depth. The 3mil rates the same at depth. and is much more comfortable. I am hearing good things overall about the Hyperstretch 3mil all around. Henry From the frigid, unforgiving waters of...

Heres a few links for the Palm Beaches area: http://www.idivestarfish.com/ http://www.wadespage.com/D800DS01RF04.shtml http://www.florida-scuba.com/diving-west-palm-beach.htm#Charters This should be enough to get you started. I use Starfish a lot and others every once in a while... Henry

Looking at the Feedback rating is highly underated and unless the person has a lot of negative feedback I wouldnt have any qualms about doing a transaction with them. I've been really hosed once: Paid for an item and never received it. I left negative feedback and they posted a negative...
