    New ships sink today

    On this we agree - where we perhaps do not is I would not classify artifical reefs (in general, ships in particular) as garbage. I thought the sinking of the rolls royce off palm beach and the "Tiki bar" off Miami to name 2 as foolish; in retrospect so was the plane (727??) - you had to know...

    New ships sink today

    Not sure I understand what you mean by "Just not sure how I feel about this ... " If you are saying they are small, deep and of little attraction to recreational divers (sunk in 200') I agree with you 100% - if you don't agree with artificial reefs in general - and I've read a lot both pro...

    Keys vs. Cozumel

    All great suggestions - I live in Miami and have dove the Keys for over 30 years - I've also gone to Cozumel over 20 times; I think the diving there is excellent and love the ambiance. You may be late for this season, but June - Sept brings the whale sharks to Isla Holbox, about 3 hours north...

    Dive trip to Florida: where to dive

    Agree w/ Ana....Debby too Sounds like a lot of time, but its a big state - I'd focus on Palm Beach County - Boyonton/Del Ray and (of course....) Jupiter! Then I'd go to Key Largo. I'd spend 1 day diving the Oriskany, then head southeast.

    Night Diving

    Not at all - its a well know fact, backed up by research and statistists from the "Shark Attack File" at Mote Marine Lab in Sarasota that the majority of diver deaths and injury from sharks happens at night. main reason for attack being mistaken for fish. They have an abiity to track humans by...

    Speigle Grove conditions

    Currents on wrecks - all of them; not just the SG - can change at will - or you can have screaming current on the SG and zero on Molassas, which is very close (and vice versa). No way to accurately predict - because it was screaming today does not mean it will - or will not - be the same...

    Robbery at Lauderdale Diver

    Could be just luck, but sounds like the a__hole knew just what to look for :popcorn: When it comes to dive gear, the average thief likely does not have a clue

    True - no place is perfect

    Should I move to Florida?

    Different as night and day even in different time zones climate, even the accent is different; Ft Lauderdale is NY; Pennsacola is the old south Some may disagree, but the best diving in FL is found in the southeast, from Jupiter (super place, btw) through the Keys. If you have a job that...

    Random question

    Assuming the ship offers SCUBA in Key West: Talk with the operator(s) the cruse line contracts with in KW - possibility they might be able to make accomodations for you or suggest another operator who can - what do the passengers do? They need to be back at a certain time; as a crew member...

    Stupid River Monsters!!

    I don't like the show because of the host's hype over the "Fish of the week" - with the exception of bull sharks, the so called river monsters may be huge, but don't pose a threat to humans. :shakehead: And all the hype and BS just reinforces to some how dangerous any body of water can be -...

    Aluminum vs Steel & why?

    You gotta go with - or at least strongly consider steel. We love the larger capacity and the negative boyancy aspects of steel. I think you will be very pleased. :D That said, with the steel tanks, do you: Plan to buy them through your LDS or on line? Dive steel with split fins? Use a...

    Exploited Whale Shark in Japan

    Sorry, I have to (respectfully) disagree - If there was more outrage from the citizens involved, and pressure put on the government to end the practice, maybe - just maybe - something would be done. Its sure not for economic reasons, or because they like the whale meat, much of which goes to...

    Exploited Whale Shark in Japan

    Are you suprised? Japan is a country that engages in and promotes whaling, the killing of whales under the guise of "research" - and I've never seen a good or even compelling reason for them doing so.
