    Looking at a booster.

    I owned a mini booster for awhile, and loved it (HII 3G). I ended up selling it and upgrading to a HII5G. Those are both very similar to Haskell models. I think the mini boosters are probably fine for CCR bottles, and occasional use, however heavy use of the booster combined with moist drive gas...

    UV glue drysuit repair

    This is a great idea/article. Does anyone have a good source for a single can of the Zyglo ZL-60C in the USA? Grainger carries these products, however they do not have the "ZL-60C" in their inventory. I did however locate "ZL-60D" which has an almost identical description here Magnaflux ZL-60D -...

    Lady Luck Coordinates

    I was at The Lady Luck this evening. We wanted to attempt to take advantage of the Rodeo's position relative to the Lady Luck. We scootered from the Rodeo25 to the Lady Luck and back. It is literally right off the bow of the Rodeo25. The roof on the Lady Luck has been more or less smashed in...

    The BEST Dive Flag Float by MAKO Spearguns

    Ok when you visit Pompano I will let YOU tow the flag! Hahaha! I use a 400' reel with my flag, so scope is no stranger to me. The difference is that I dive with a scooter, and that really accentuates the tugging. Add wind and current to that, and you are miserable.The conditions I am discussing...

    The BEST Dive Flag Float by MAKO Spearguns

    I do not know about other places, but here in Florida when the current rips, trying to use much of a float at all other than a styrofoam ball flag becomes an instant DPV ride across whatever you are diving. If the wind is blowing hard, it is worse. I do not use the Mako in this case, I will use...

    Lady Luck Coordinates

    You did not offend me, relax. I simply wanted you to stop speaking in generalities, and state specifically where your information came from. Any time I hear "they", alarms go off. You did so, and I appreciate that. I figured it was an employee of one of the local charters that told you that. I...

    Lady Luck Coordinates

    They wont be placing any moorings on Lady Luck, or any other wrecks in Broward County any time soon, for the reasons I stated above. Who relayed that information about "they" to you? - FWC? Broward Sheriff's office? Some dude you met on a dive boat? The scuba police? Whoever it was has no say...

    Lady Luck Coordinates

    Spiegel Grove is an entirely different situation. It is located in a marine sanctuary and is out of the way of regular boat traffic, and there is no fishing allowed there. The only people that tend to show up to the Spiegel are dive boats. In contrast to the Lady Luck which is less than 2 miles...

    Lady Luck Coordinates

    If they were going to put them on it they would have, I think. There is too much boat traffic, and I bet it would end up being rather difficult when anyone that feels like it, diver or not can tie up to the wreck, and hang out all day fishing and barbecuing, or whatever. It is easy enough to get...

    Nautilus Lifeline - Best way to carry

    That snap is not safe in my opinion. It can come unsnapped, and bye bye 300 dollar life line. I went so far as to also cut the fabric out behind that snap, so that the clip is exposed through the back of the lifeline case. I could have gone without the case entirely, but I figure it helps to...

    Nautilus Lifeline - Best way to carry

    I carry mine in a Dive-Rite leg pocket when I am diving wet. It protects the radio, and also gives me a place to keep other things like a spare mask or lift bag, or reel. I also attached a snap to the metal clip on the back of the Lifeline which I attach to the lanyard inside the pocket. Works...

    Drysuit Dryer

    It is so simple to build your own drying rack out of PVC, that I have not seen anyone make them in a retail format. Many people have joked to me to put mine in a bag with a can of glue and sell them. Actually after building mine, I bought one of the Peets wader dryers, and have been very happy...

    Is It Boring Being The Only One On A Dive With A Dpv?

    I dive with a DPV all the time, and have for years. It is more fun when your buddies also join in, but I love diving with my DPV and dive on my own and around other divers all the time. I have never once thought "gee I wish I left the scooter on the boat!"

    Reef Photo in Ft Lauderdale reviews?

    I live nearby, and I have had nothing but excellent experience with Reef. They are very professional, know their products, and give excellent advice. I have made many purchases with them, and I have always been treated well. Their customer service will keep me coming back over and over. To be...

    O2 T and K bottle questions

    To add to the frustration, I am assuming you will be purchasing "ABO" (Aviators Breathing Oxygen") as opposed to industrial O2. This adds additional complication when owning your own cylinders. I have not found a gas supplier that could/would supply ABO into a personal cylinder. They may exist...

    GoPro Dive Housing Thread... Any Leaks?

    I always recommend taking the newer housing that the cameras ship with, throwing it in the trash regardless of the depth you dive, and purchasing the dive housing. Which housing were you using? Each of the HERO4 cameras come with the Standard Housing that is capable of withstanding depths of...

    Proposed Ban on Spearfishing in Southeast Florida

    Robbing Paul to pay Peter... a disturbing trend with Revo Rebreathers

    Inviting the low informed public in to comment on your personal business grievances might not be the best idea. I am not sure what you are accomplishing other than pointing out that Paul has a reseller agreement, and that he is a man of his word, that stands behind his legal agreements. There is...

    Looking to buy a dive computer

    Wow, I get to be the first one to start the "I recommend buying a Shearwater Petrel" thread again. This is hands down the last dive computer you will likely ever need to buy, but most people looking to buy their first dive computer do not have the dive experience to understand why a dive...
