    Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

    I went to an REI recently to try some on and they were out as well. The person I spoke to said he wasn't sure if it was an out of stock situation or a product that was transitioning to online only. Still planning on ordering a pair to try out.

    Subaru Outback ( ~2019 2.5 vs 3.6)

    My wife has an Outback, when this one bites the dust she will likely get another. It's been a great car and there's a ton of cargo room. I had a Jeep Commander before my current truck and we would always end up taking her car on trips as there was more cargo space. She has the 2.5. Hers is a...

    Vehicle question

    It's been mentioned several times but the keypad on my F-150 is constantly coming in handy in situations like this, not just when diving.

    Lake Phoenix this weekend?

    I'm going next weekend, not this coming weekend... Well Friday and Sunday, not Saturday. This weekend I am just tied up.

    Lake Phoenix this weekend?

    I cannot this weekend, and am in NC diving next weekend. Things get hectic around the holidays but I may be interested in diving Phoenix the first or second weekend in January?

    Seaskin trilam drysuit purchase simulation

    I personally feel most will eventually use the p-valve if it's there, and would rather have it put on at factory if possible. Not really a downside except initial investment.

    Apeks Rk3, dive rite xt, or deep 6 eddys

    The Dive Rite XTs are my favorite fin, I prefer them over the Deep 6 Eddys by a good amount.

    What wing do you prefer?

    I have the DSS Torus 49 wing. I really like it, I originally had a different doubles wing and it never felt right. Switched to the DSS and have been very happy.

    MHC is better for wrecks, but there's still good diving out of Wilmington area, so you're lucky to have that so close.

    Morehead City Trip Report Instigator Fishing & Dive Charters 10/19 and 10/20

    Glad you got out! NC is just like that sometimes, I've had 3-4 day trips that were like Lake Atlantic and I've had whole weeks where I am lucky to get out once. Sounds like you had a great time, and I appreciate the review on a charter I haven't yet been on. Will have to check them out at...

    Megalodon Tooth Haul

    Got some cleaning done. These are some of the nicer teeth I got. A few more good ones still aren't ready to be cleaned. Quarter for size reference.

    Megalodon Tooth Haul

    The Venice tooth dives are good in a way - you get the viz and relaxing water of the NC dives combined with the depth and bottom times of the Cooper. You just don't get the big teeth... :D In Venice a 4" meg tooth is a showstopper on the boat, and in NC its very average. Price is also great...

    Megalodon Tooth Haul

    Is there a market? Yes, to an extent. But I don't sell mine. If I found a museum quality tooth (I have seen some teeth sell for more than $2,500), I personally would probably just hold on to it. So for me, I am not diving to sell them, I enjoy finding them. That being said, plenty of people...

    Megalodon Tooth Haul

    Sure. The dives in the popular tooth sites range from 90-115 feet deep. My dives over these two days ranged from 108-110 deep. We do three dives a day. I do them open circuit though it isn't uncommon to see CCR divers doing them, we had one on the boat the other day.

    Megalodon Tooth Haul

    Temps were 77 degrees on the bottom, it was nice. If people are willing to dive they are usually willing to go out. I know the owner of that charter is taking a few weeks off soon, but will likely be running again in November.
