Having proper weighting, trim and comfort in the water is important, but that counts when we are talking about your body needing oxygen. If you are chasing lobsters, expecially at 80-90' you will get out of breath and use a lot of air no matter who you are. So if we are talking about diving in...

All the way! Anyone who does different with modern valves is ignorant or misinformed. Hopefully those aren't offending terms.

Watch this video. He was in Palau. Shows some diving at the end.

Not sure about July but I used to have to go to Okinawa in August and that is Typhoon season. Not sure about July. Luckily Okinawa is built for Typhoons unlike Florida. I am pretty sure the Phillipines and Okinawa get a direct hit every year, if not almost every year. One year a Typhoon came and...

lol. I use a 6' with a dump valve (DSMB). The bottom is open but seals once inflated. I have been using my second stage at 35' because I have to get it half full (short spool) .I like having a fat sausage when it reaches the surface. I just got a 140' reel so I can now release from 60'+ and I...

I am in Waterford Lakes near Oviedo. The dive shop I go to is in Oviedo (Orlando Scuba Partners). Your choices are pretty much a spring or an ocean dive. Closest Spring is Blue Springs. It isn't the best but it is the closest (45min away). The better ones are 2 1/2 hours away. Activities |...

Just opened my logbook so I can speak to Jupiter water temp. In and around Juno Ledge Oct 1,2017 was 82F, Nov 4 was 79F, Nov 12 was 80F, Nov 26 was 75F Dec 2 was 79 and Dec 16 was 77F. Full 3 mil. I dove a 3mil all winter only sometimes wearing a hood as temps got down to 72. I am one of those...

4'05" in this video is where I heard it. I am not necessarily wrapped around the axle on legality because I abide by my computer DURING the dive so no matter how I plan it, my Mares Puck tells me when my time is up. But as an SDI diver, when it comes to manual tables, I just want to know, is the...

Thanks for the reply. I guess what I am getting at is that to my knowledge, SDI/TDI does not sell Nitrox tables the way other agencies do. I have searched their site and all I see is a Navy air table and an EAD table. The only tables that go from 28-40% that I have found are from NOAA(link...

I rarely post, but tables have been on my mind recently. Hey Paul! So I want some small pocket-sized tables to use for dive planning. Obviously my cheap Mares Puck Pro doesn't have the same algorithm of a basic table so once you begin diving for the day your plan for follow-on dives will change...

I live in Florida so its none of my business but here is a good video.

Hmmm I did some googling and it appears to be legal. I would email or call the Florida FWC for the heck of it

I was still wearing a shorty in October. My log book says that the water temp was 83.

Jupiter is great. Only a few of the boats offer shark feeding. I prefer to look at them myself. Not scared but it has ruined spearfishing for everyone. Saw some lemons yesterday aboard the Kyalami (formerly Capt SL8ters) www.jupiterscubadiving.com . Forgive my camera as it is a POS and it had a...

That may have been a Bull at 1'25" but hard to tell because he went behind a diver. Also at 16 minutes. I saw some lemons yesterday in Jupiter but my camera sucks and it must have had a spot on the lens.

Also be dark and handsome...

Most Americans are thrifty/cheap and the internet is cheaper. Most don't think about supporting their LDS other than air fills, which alone will not keep them in business. I have watched potential new divers go into a shop, try on gear and take pictures of it. They left without buying anything...

Perhaps when you say "Tech" divers you mean DIR? If you watch the old DIR videos on youtube you will see them preach that wet suit divers, which most of us are, should use an aluminum 80 and a weight belt. They say that Steel Tanks are for dry suit divers and the extra air that most of us want...

You are talking about a regular magnetic compass right? Are you talking about zones in reference to the difference between magnetic and true, or grid North?

You live in Orlando J322Y?
