    Looking for a buddy for mini season

    Did "Pecks Lake" oceanside today. About 20' of viz falling to 12' later in the day. Got cut short to only a :40 dive time due to boat issues but got two overall.

    why enter a cave

    I think it is like Rock Climbing. They like the knots and the ropes and the gear and just achieving the summit with the rock climbing skills they learned. Rock climbers will say "for the awesome view from the summit" if that were entirely true they'd save money and time by hiring a helio to...

    Calculating MOD with EANx

    Hey -- the math portions are the hardest for me in dive theory. In case you were also a "C-" student in Algebra as I was... If you are using 1.4 --- 1.4 / mix percentage (.36) x 33 - 33 = 95.33 Feet This is what they were typing up there but at a highschool level which is beyond my...

    why enter a cave

    Here is a twist of the topic. Why do cave divers dive Caves? Many say to explore the unknown.. I say not so because they dive the same cave the same route over and over and over. Of course there are some amazing places with huge caverns but mostly they are habit trails and I think it is just...

    Oxygen Exposure Limits

    What they said. -- O2 exposure is a concern when you begin diving repeatedly day after day. I personally had to bust out the charts and do some figuring one day to see if I wanted to go back out on the next boat in Jupiter. I dove two tanks at 80fsw the conditions were once in a year perfect...

    Bug Season 2012-13

    We have had a stiff current in Jupiter my last few dives. Aug 6th it was about 2kts. I judge this based on I could not swim against it and make headway a few times. Get on them before you pass them because even holding myself in place to get them was work. ---------- Post Merged at 02:10 AM...

    Failed Checkout Dives :(

    BLABD -- There should be skills required in these dives but they are skills you most likely have already done. If this is the local PSL shop did you go to the bridge to dive and do skills because this is considered "Open Water" there. I have not sat in a class or assisted a instructor in many...

    Florida Marine Patrol makes stuff up

    The first clue was the second poster "eeel" who pointed out the Florida Marine Patrol has not stopped anyone for anything since 1999. I am sure the OP will noW either claim , "it was 1998" or he "meant to say FWC."
