I would have two questions for you. 1. How inflated is your BC? I find that being barely on the surface is more stable than fully inflating and floating"above" the water. I find keeping my shoulders submerged helps a lot. 2. Why the need to remove the fins? Is it the style of exit that...

When i run doubles, I usually setup my first stages where one has my SPG and a console computer, the other first stage has the wireless sender for my wrist computer. I run redundant computers, and also prefer being able to see the tank pressures of both tanks. Helps in the event the isolation...

Here's the story behind the Delaware. It's a pretty popular site in NJ only a couple of miles off Point Pleasant, just outside the Axel Carlson Artificial Reef. Tried diving it once, didn't have a GPS and tried for land ranges. Missed the wreck, also had terrible visibility. SS Delaware ~ Dive...

For a long time I didn't log at all, then began logging the dives however sporadically. Now I log all dives except pool. Because I have no idea of my actual dive count I began numbering by year, however I still occasional miss a few. My numbering turned into for example 20-2019, 21-2019, then...

Any suggestions on where to learn to service your own regs? Or a reliable source for parts kits? Between the wife and I, we have several brands from Posiedon, Apeks, Scuba Pro, and so on of regs and I have no interest in spending $600 - $1000 in service. The local shops seem to charge $200+ per...

I feel that pain. I had a house in WV and worked in Northern VA. I went away on a work trip for a month and the wife told me she couldn't handle the commute anymore to northern VA for her work. We bought a house in our budget... A short sale with substantial issues, and needing 30 years of catch...

I called a local shop here in Northern VA, and it was insanely expensive for a MK25 / A700 combo. I am leaning more and more every day to learning to service it myself and trying to source the parts kits to do it. I have the shop space, probably most of the tools, and am handy enough I bet I...

This has me really really wanting me to build an analyzer now. I have far too many Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and ESP-32 laying around waiting for a project... Any thoughts on using an ESP-32 and creating a phone app via bluetooth or WiFi? Funny this comes up because I just took a few tanks out of...

I run an XS Scuba fogcutter on my leg, great for line with the built in scissor, a Leatherman line cutter on my harness, and a knife on my console. Line cutter

Definitely interesting and will add to the bucket list, however my hopes is something a little more local. Looks like piney point is about 2 hours away.

Dove Greenbrier today, for those interested, max depth of 19 feet, surface temp around 70, significant thermocline around 10' and heavy vegetation on a clay/silt bottom. Some large bass, quite a few small. Surprisingly free of trash and debris that we could tell, though we did find a pallet with...

Is there a reason you're looking specifically at elasticsearch? Just before pandemic hit I was starting up a load balanced ELK (ElasticSearch, Logstash, Kibana) stack for work. Wouldn't running an elastic load balancer, coupled with RDS, and cloud formation be a better option? Since xenforo is...

Have received word from Maryland DNR giving the greenlight for me to dive Greenbrier lake. That was surprisingly easy.

While I can't help financially, I can certainly lend some technical knowledge. I have limited experience with cpanel and xenforo but I do have AWS experience and may be able to help that way. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

So I heard back from MD DNR. Diving in Greenbrier Lake is permitted with prior approval, below are the guidelines. Who wants to go? My wife can not dive with me for at least the next few months so I need a new buddy as they don't permit solo diving :/. I'm interested in going as early as this...

A bit of a broad topic, but any tips on diving the northern VA area and Maryland? Moved to this area about a year ago and itching for a local dive site. Usually try making trips back to NJ regularly but not as often as I'd like. I was at Greenbrier State Park in Maryland today and looking at...

We pull a lot of bottles out of the local rivers and inlet down here as well ranging from old 6 oz coke bottles to an old ceramic jug.

we get team photos here often enough as well as we never seem to get everyone from the team in the same photo. Definitely interesting to look back on what the teams have done over the years, and how they've changed. The night Hurricane Sandy hit after we got recalled back to the building...

Kinda long, the begining is mostly just picking up fishing sinkers, but around 14 minutes in, a nice surprise mixed in with the mud/pebbles. A few old Coke bottles, and a few other old Lynch bottles as well as an old Red Rock soda bottle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUsES7wVOys&feature=plcp

I was in the water yesterday in manasquan inlet, visibility was probably on par for 5 - 10 feet. The landscape on the bottom is completely different. Sand is pretty much stripped away to clay and pebbles from the sea wall out about 20 feet. A few new pillings on the bottom, a decent amount of...
