If it's 2 tanks, i will tip 20 dollars. Sometimes more if my buddies come up short. I will budget about 250 for a dive week for tips and such. The dive masters make nothing in Cayman, and without them, I'm swimming to the buoys. Cheers

I laughed at the picture....sorry:eyebrow:

My cousins live on Anacortes Island, WA, next door to Seattle. They dive anytime they want, in some of the best diving in the world. Drysuits are the norm. When they don't dive, they migrate to the mountains for skiing, or hiking. Where else can you dive in the morning and ski in the...

NEVER place a temporary filling in a decayed tooth or even for cementing back a crown, unless it is an implant, unless it has not been properly cleaned and evaluated. Even an endodontically treated tooth is a risk when recementing a post or crown. Root fractures in endo teeth are common...

I agree with Dr. Stein.... leaving a tooth open, without initiating endodontic treatment, is a recipe for failure. Either endo or extract, then think of diving. If there is pus involved, it sometimes will require additional drainage and antibiotics. My favorite saying, "never let...

Not if it fails a svrvey, engines are shot and the electronics don't work. It might be overpriced. Boats are money pits. If it's had hll damage, it might be worthless.

Maybe diving should be limited to sterile swimming pools...

The aggregating Lemons are mostly pregnant females if I recall, and it is a big deal when they are fished. Bimini Shark lab has reported a sharp decrease in Lemon nmbers. It takes a decade before the Lemon Sharks reprodce, and if yo take away the reprodcing females extinction will occr...

For the approx. 400 dollars, you can take a freedive training course and hold your breathe for over 4 minutes. No equipment necessary. I'll take the 5000 dollars please, my invention is better. Cheers.

If I'm on the surface , waiting for pick up, no way am I dumping my weights. There is no need. You may need to descend if the pickup boat doesn't see you. Never know when people are not paying attention, not seeing a light, or not seeing an smb. You lose an option when you dump and...

Just got back from Brac. Shore dive for 10 dollars a tank, every wall can be accessed from shore. All south wall dives had reef sharks on every dive and of course the coolest dropoffs around. The Northwall was full of tropicals and a bunch of turtles. Of course the best dive was the...

New pool at Brac Reef. Looks beautiful! Beach side service...

I have been to a lot of dive sites. When I first dove Cayman Brac years ago, I thought it was the best place ever. I still feel that way. The diving is fantastic, and the people on the island are the nicest around. A close second for me is Hawaii. People are wonderful and if its...

A month ago I fractured two ribs in a waterski fall. Went diving the next week to Gilboa. It was terrible. Never do it again. It was fine until the gear shifted on my back and felt like it displaced the ribs.. I about sh$t my drysuit. It was the longest day ever and I had to drive...

How do they know the gator killed the swimmer? He may have drowned first and the gator was swimming nearby. Could be just sensationalism. I'm guessing heart attack. Just speculating...

My guess the little black fish is a Northern Clingfish.

That would be a good question. To be assisted at the end of the dive is disconcerting, even open1. You are potentially endangering another diver if you are that out of control. I like the Idea of a semidry until the weighting issue is figured out. In the meantime, go back to the basics...

^Might be. Found the text on blowup. Basically NAUI says you'll shoot to the surface in an uncontrolled ascent, no mention of what to do in the middle of one. I think they don't want you to get into the situation in the first place. The textbook is The Noaa Diving Manual for Science...

I am not sure that OP had to dump air from drysuit. I think that's an assumption. Mine only had a chest valve and you couldn't dump inverted. NAUI taught it as a blowup if you got out of control, I'll check the book . I believe they recommended the head down kick, and hope you don't get...

I'm from Mi. Yes And I had a Unisuit that was a bobber. Not that difficult.
