    suggest good DM for 11 year old Jr. cert?

    Out of curiosity, why wouldn't you dive with your child (provided he has a cert, of course)? I'd want my child under my care, not a stranger. But then again, I wouldn't let an eleven year old child dive anyway, so maybe my point is moot. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

    Attaching fins to BC

    I use a piece of 550 cord looped at each end. I pass it through the fin straps and Clip the loops to one end of a double ender. Then clip the other end of the double ender to a convenient D Ring. Simple and cheap. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

    Solo Cave Diving

    We had a situation last night that brings up this very question. While cave diving in JB recently on CCRs, we came upon an a tunnel neither of us had ever noticed. It was too small for our back mounted Megs, so we decided to come back later on SM OC and try it out. Dive plan last night was to...

    Thought on cheese whiz

    Oh. Well, I guess if you are hand feeding morays, that's to be expected. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

    Thought on cheese whiz

    What the he** kind of eels was he feeding? I'm talking about Sargasso eels in Vortex Spring. They have teeth like catfish and will nibble fingers, but they are harmless. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

    In 2013 are you using a tech computer (as a computer) or BT for your tech diving?

    Exactly my procedure. That is open or closed circuit, no differentiation. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

    Best Nitrox Mix/ Profile at 100'

    OP, I told you - plenty of good advice would come your way. Listen to these guys' most important point - seek training. And in the meantime, dive safe. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

    Best Nitrox Mix/ Profile at 100'

    Without knowing you at all, I suggest the following: Regarding getting better bottom time, how's your trim and attitude in the water? Is your rig balanced? Are you and your gear streamlined? Are you relaxed and breathing controlled? Experience and attention to those points should in time...

    Dive Conditions at St Andrews Jetties

    Last Sunday morning the kiddie pool looked like chocolate milk. 2 guys told me they had a decent dive on the beach side of the jetty. Just stay out of the pass - none to little viz. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

    Thinking about coming over to the DARK SIDE! Re-breather help.

    Deep air? People still do that? As far as getting back your investment, forget it. It ain't gonna happen. CCR is a different way to dive that's all, and it's expensive to get started. I suppose one could eventually break even, but I don't see it. Nothing wrong with OC, I still do quite a...

    Thinking about coming over to the DARK SIDE! Re-breather help.

    Get Mel Clark's book "Rebreathers Simplified". Read it. Mel explains the basics and some of the intricacies in lay terms. That will give you a basis from which to proceed. Mel will also answer emails and phone calls. You could also speak with Gregg Stanton at the Wakulla Dive Center . I did...

    "Is a BP/W too confusing for new divers?" and related topics...

    OP: Bravo for y'all. For some reason I could never fathom, posting nearly any sort of accomplishment here brings out the sanctimony in some folks. I for one think your diver looks very good in the water. Better than many I've seen with years of experience. For example, go to Vortex or...

    Dive Conditions at St Andrews Jetties

    I spoke with an FWC guy at St Andrews SP last week about this. You absolutely may not spear lionfish at the jetties. Big fine if you are caught even carrying a spearing implement to or from the water. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2
