I believe the rays you are seeing are called Lesser Devil Rays. Lesser devil ray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia or Manta Rays: Devil Ray I've been here in Panama City Beach now for most of September. and like you, have seen them just about every day that we have been on the beach...

Hopefully after almost 3 years he managed to find an instructor. ;)

I wonder if Medicare would cover one of these? 'Creating the Spectacle!' Online - Part 1 - Finding Freedom. - YouTube

Thanks for the local tips. I have them recorded to refer to during our trip. Have a great weekend!

We are going with a simple Canon S100 with an Ikelite housing. Nothing fancy but something that will allow us to take some still shots. We dive with a GoPro as well but just use it for video.

We have used Panama City Dive Charters as well and were very happy. We have rented tanks and flags to dive the jetties from there and done charters. Great website with a calendar for availability and a very informative shop.

Terrific footage, I enjoyed the swim by allowing for a great closeup. I don't know must about fish habits, what was going on with the two fish that seemed to be lip locked? Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the great report reefman! We will be making our first visit in a little over a week. When you say you cruised out to these sites, do you take your own boat? We are taking jet skis with us and are hoping to find some reefs close enough boat ramps that we can do some snorkeling with...

Thanks everyone for all the feedback. I didn't make it clear in my initial post, but I'm sure it's fairly obvious that I don't currently do any side mount or even BM doubles diving. I just recently had the opportunity to try side mount at a Demo day here in Atlanta hosted by Divers Supply so...

When diving side mount doubles on a typical open water "two tank" dive boat do you rent two tanks or four? Looking back at my log book I see that I average about 2000 - 2300 psi per dive which would allow me to reuse the same two tanks on both dives. Just curious what the common practice is...

I'm thinking of getting into sidemount myself, so maybe you can elaborate on this a bit as I would be one of those students with out extensive experience. So what exactly are these instructors doing that is so horrendous? Thanks, Paul

Seraphimx where did you see the Leonardo for $250? Lowest price I've seen is $350. Also, does your XP10 have a gauge mode where it will show you depth, temp, bottom time? What about a backlight? Alberto, I'm running Linux so I'm not so sure you simulator will work for me. I do run...

Anyone have experiance or own a Cressi Leonardo? I need to finally get a set of computer for the wife and me and we like the look of this one. I'm also trying to put together a very light travel setup and would like a single SPG instead of a console with depth, temp and compass. So ideally...

herman, thanks for the reply. Have you had occasion to use your ET with out a wetsuit? Curious if the unpadded webbing causes any discomfort while in the water. I am curious though why you think the Transpac would be irrelevant if I decided to get into tech or sidemount. My understanding...

I appreciate all the replies. It is interesting to see the replies from JamesK, Foxhound, and SuPrBuGmAn all stating that sidemount with single won't affect balance. And from your replies I assume you three have actually tried this configuration. Then Elan comes along and states: Elan...

I know, two extremes in price range. But I'm really trying to put together a very minimalist travel setup. The Transpac appears to be a bit more comfortable when it comes to the few minutes when out of the water and possibly has more room to grow, while the Zeagle Express Tech seems as...

I'm not necessarily sure I really want to switch actually. The interest in a smaller BC/Wing has more to do with being tired of lugging around my current bulky BC and other gear when going on vacation. I would probably just use the resort BC's but I hate using jacket BCs. Thus my search for a...

I understand that side mount doubles is intended mainly for cave and wreck diving, but I'm wondering about it's use for recreational tropical water diving when only using one tank instead of two. Is this kind of setup doable for someone who is purely a recreational warm water and shallow ocean...

Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone here dives in the PCB area using a Personal Water Craft/Jetski? I may be taking some down for a week long vacation. What I'm thinking of doing is diving the Jetties using the PWC with two divers on each and towing the gear in a raft behind each ski. Two...
