    The Fin Debate

    Take note of what Dan. Speed is relative. If you are a photographer trying to keep positioned in a 2kt current, you might appreciate "fast" fins. I am a fan of at least one split. But having said that, you don't want to blow a lot of money. I would even consider some the full foot snorkel fins...

    The Fin Debate

    Ya know, I love these debates. I can't stay away. Kinda like when you have have an opened wound in your jaw/gum from a root canal? You have to keep touching it with your tongue; Just to know you're alive. I'll spare you guys my colonoscopy metaphor. Cheers. Everybody have a pleasant and healthy...

    Hi Jim. Have a great year. To you and yours. Tim Lynch. ---------- Post added January 2nd, 2014 at 07:00 PM ---------- Jim, lol. To some of us color is important. I like black. Or red which turns black at Like 30 fsl. But my 21 year old daughter, when we shop for gear, we are shopping for...

    The Fin Debate

    It's not the fin that silts, it's really the kick. Since splits are more efficient with a flutter kick, you really won't be doing a frog. But, I can attest that doing a flutter kick in blades will kick up more bottom than splits. I think most of the split fin haters are cave, deep wreck, tech...

    BCD Advice

    It's been a while since I've been on here, but here goes. The bcd is the most personal piece of gear you'll ever use. Some advocate buying that first so you can get dialed in. I disagree. It should be one of the last pieces of gear you buy. The bc should "choose" you. Try as many as you can...

    Would You Use a DSMB in this Scenario?

    I was going there, so thanks for posting. And in response to Bob's post, I agree. Never heard of a drift dive being aborted if a diver or buddy team gets separated. At least here in PBC. After all, it's a drift dive and the guide/DM is NOT your buddy.

    Florida Drifter Rescued

    There was an issue with his life vest however. Of that I'm certain. ---------- Post Merged at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous Post was at 05:57 PM ---------- Same thoughts crossed my mind. And I noodled as to whether a rec fisherman can market his catch. I don't think so. But I may be way off base.

    Florida Drifter Rescued

    I'm not seeing where the story says he was shore diving. I know of nothing off Juno Beach that someone would swim out and find bugs. Are we sure that is the case? There is that rubble pile from the Donald Duck bridge off of green roofs in Jupiter that can be made by swimming from shore. But...

    Riviera Beach Florida Fatality

    Really too bad. I missed this yesterday. Too much going on with the dead Jupiter officer. I'm with Dan. We really can't jump to conclusions that the op was at fault. I guess we wait and see, but as we all know that can take months or more.

    Show off your Bp/W rigs?

    I hadn't noticed that earlier. As with mahjong it would make me uncomfortable knowing the condition exists. Before notching the plate, I would consider using a STA. I'm not familiar with the particular wing and plate very much, but most that I'm aware of have multiple holes and grommets to...

    Drift diving palm beach you will probably be able to inflate 25 pound bag from 40 ft or so. Remember the current. You don't want to shoot from 60 ft with 60 ft of line. I like to shoot from the bottom so I use a Manta reel with about 185 ft of line. I've often seen reels and spools pulled from...

    Hydration and hydrating

    I'm not a physician, but everything I have read with respect to the so called "energy" drinks (with the exception of marketing of course) would support your comments.

    How many people have had to use their knife/cutting tool while diving

    Several times. Once might have saved my life. But in hind sight, perhaps if I had doffed my rig....even then I believe I would have needed a cutting tool to clear it.
