Had a few tonight, huh, Tom :confused: Debby is correct, the best solution to the OP's rather premature question was to simply rig the tanks and lay them down in the stern - the other suggestions were simply other options, but the best one was just to put them there - without the need for any...

That time of year is not famous for calm, flat seas, so be aware you may get blown out - its important if you are diving offshore w/ a charter; critical if you are shore diving - plus, if its been rough for a day, or 2 or a week before you arrive (a distinct possibility in Feb) even if you luck...

Sure, this way it will be inconvenient to All the places you want to hit - there is no way to get anywhere in the Keys in "Short Order" :shakehead: And I'd like to do a photo secession with "Kay West" too - bet she's hot :confused::shakehead::rofl3: Finally, thanks for being a...

Ya know, you are right (not about the duct tape LOL!!) about the Pelican Racks/Boxes (??) - plus, if you used a tank boot they always got hung up on the rack it seemed. Sometimes if you pulled hard, straight up you left the boot in the rack - 'course I was much younger when we used it and it...

What a great show; the characters were the best! Brings back memories.....

You really don't need dedicated holders, like you see on dive boats. We dive from our own boat (its a 31' open fisherman - bet you can guess the make!). You have a few options - You could purchase a "Pelican Box" that holds 4 or 6 tanks (fewer if you have them rigged up - problem is -...

You guys in the UK get the best deals in the world on travel! Re the Bahamas, just remember that the closer to winter you get, the better the chance of rough seas, as they are effected by strong cold fronts - just something to be aware. Good friend of mine went to Small Hope Bay recently and...

So what? Only good if they have a position open and hire you :D I think you mean a distributor (plants only sell to distributors) - I'd have the job lined up before I move; you have a good position now and good ones are tough to replace. That said, if you are not picky on locations, there...

You left out a lot from your post - what is your financial situation??? Makes a big difference - assuming you are not living off a trust fund, do you have jobs or can you telecommute to current one(s)? What type of work do you do - if you are both nurses, say, finding employment is much easier...

Jeff has said to me (now that I think about it) it's 26' From his website: The scuba charter HMS Minnow {not to be confused with Gilligan's boat, the "SS Minnow"} is 25'4" in length with a beam of 9.5 feet. It features a large, covered cockpit area in the back and an enclosed cabin forward...

"How does the boat unhook the grapple from the wreck? " Very good question - That's where the lift bag comes in - and a reel - you attach the reel, and the lift bag to the anchor - remove the anchor, inflate the lift bag, and it will go to the surface - and you are "attached" to the lift bag...

I think I remember the thread, but I can't think of his name either - search it and see what comes up? If you want a great 6 pack, in Key Largo, I recommend HMS Minnow - but its a 27' boat, which this time of year the seas should not be an issue - although we have had the worst weather I can...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND ALL OUR BEST!! Rob & Sharon

They are a good op, especially for newer divers, which your profile suggests - very nice facility; one of the best in South Florida, IMO. I prefer Jim Abernethy, and the Wetter the Better in the West Palm/Riveria Beach area If you do a few dives in West Palm and are comfortable, consider...

Bull, Nurse, Reef - numerous places, but Jupiter FL for the most sightings, hands down

After the 5th great white jumps out of the water, and you see your 3rd seal eaten, and the cage bumped a few times...... It does not hold the same attraction for me as it did a few years ago - still, I guess I'm glad they broadcast it, even w/ the "sensational" aspects we have come to expect.

I think you miss the main point implied in most of the posts - we don't want the shark killed - regardless of method. I'm the farthest thing from a "bleeding heart" - but I found the video disturbing because of the glee exhibited by the kids on board (although I guess I could understand why...

Great wreck and great operation thanks for posting the pix

Agree 100% And with kids on the boat to boot - great lesson to teach them, not to mention shooting a gun at anything on the surface of the water risks the bullet coming back where you don't want it, even in this case. :no: What a dope :shakehead:

Vis is great here in Jacksonville! Don't know if you missed this thread, but here you go......
