My sherwood long splits are fast in non current short swimmers flutter kick but other than that my SP Jet paddle fins are more versatile. I have been training with the different kicks for the past two years and lobster diving is way easier with the paddles. Jupiter has some serious currents and...

Although the Bouy Sites with wave hieght, period and temperature is handy. Unfortunatley there are still thermoclines they do not measure but still a great source of predive information.

This seems to come up every now and then. The Keys sees all sorts of Whackers and they are very strict with their policies and C cards. I went to a well no OP and offered my DM card to them. They demanded to see my Nitrox card as well as I brought my own tanks. I remarked .. Really? So I...

On a nice clear day I like drifting around and if it is clear enough looking down at the bottom. Coming up in a blowing Gale with 20' of visibility is not much fun though. I have not used it yet but the $300.00 diveable VHF radio sure makes me feel better about drift diving. Dumping the gear...

I was running 3.25 several times a week but I have gotten lazy. I do mountainbike but not on a scheldule. Mostly I drive around for 9 hours at a time and randomly jump out and chase kids half my age until I can't see them any longer or they are caught. Awesome workout -- Even better if you...

Good for you. I found a turtle tangled up in a mess of plant life and mono at the rudder a week ago. I cut him free and he went to the surface but I was told returned to the same spot and there was still that mess at the rudder. The mess of tangled "stuff" was huge enough to fill the bed of my...

A local eatery announced they'd be offering Shark Bites on their menu. A local diver argued her point and they have since announced they'd be removing the shark from the menu. They are now recieveing some negative comments about it. Please "like" their page and add a short kudos for their...

careful with the term "charter" --- the line is thin between some buddies of mine who pitch in gas and licensed charter as to legal liabilities and license requirements.. I do not know of much in the Beach dive areas down that way until around Commercial Blvd in FTL but from there down I have...

No wonder the Vis is bad there with that chick standing on the bottom with her fins and that guy hand scullying all over the place. It will get better when they leave.. :)

I saw one just like this at the jupiter wrecks. That is some major cable they used for that little float and I do not see how it could have accidently come off. I wonder if some of the rougue cowboy spearfisherman might have tampered with it? There is a small group of them who hate GG's and...

Clipped to left D ring on hip like others. When I am in current and chasing losters I check after a catch because I know I can burn some gas if there is a chase.

Don't get a Din? Why not? I Love the Din.

IMO opinion SP has the best options for service places. I personally dive the AQ LgND LX with ACD and love it but there are not as many places to service it around here. Luckily i have a small fleet of regs. Mostly Apeks DS4's.

I am with Chug. I see Bullshark teeth here in Ft Pierce but they are still being used by their owners...

WoW I am impressed with the non whacker or cop bashing.. I see more on a gun board. The only thing I question is the hit ratio last I pulled numbers it was around 25% of bullets hitting BG's. The more revelant stat would be the % of BG's hit which are engaged. The likely scenario in these...

I am one of the people who uses mouthwash in it. I have done this for about fifteen years or so. I add water with a hose and invert it back and forth a few times then drain. I then remove the rear dump and add some generic walmart citrus mouthwash swish and drain. My bladder is fresh and tasty...

I went out on sunday at around 0900. There was some stiff surge. Temp was around 76F. By the end of the dive the vis was begining to fade from 20' to 12'

WoW -- This reminds me of a tactical class I took with MAssad Ayoob in 1992. He introduced me to a concept I use all the time now but previously was unfamiliar with. Unconcious Incompetence - You are incompetent and you do not know you are incompetent because you lack the knowledge to even...

I am thinking these stones might be in Quarries and they are normally dense rocks.. hence the Quarry. Here in Florida the ocean rocks are very light as they are mostly coral or limestone. IF you do find a nice round and Dense heavy rock... MARK THAT SPOT on your Gps and come back with a UW...

I assume the Department is paying because they intend to use you for Search and Recovery? If this is the case take PSD SAR diving classes not Recreational scuba classes. SAR diving is totally different than Rec Scuba. Rec skills used for SAR will easily get someone killed.
