    New Dive Rite XT's reviews??

    I still stand behind my earlier comments - still using the regs. For the price I love them. I have no issues with hose routing on my doubles. I really have no complaints about these regs and would buy them again.

    Shearwater Battery Question

    I have seen this issue myself. It happened to me twice in both cases battery below 50% standard alkaline. I have resigned to never allowing the battery beyond 50% and haven't seen the issue again after 100 dives or so. I just swapped over to a AA lithium energizer today. Curious to see how well...

    How much does shark sightings change your dive?

    Why do you leave the water when a White Tip is in the water? Seriously? You call the dive? I plan to be diving in areas where White Tips are (Hawaii) and would like to know this.

    Aqualung Legend DIN ACD

    I will lower the price on the reg to 300.00 shipped best method CONUS. - It works perfectly and was recently (6 months) serviced. I paid over 500.00 for the 1st and second stages alone. This is the ACD model by the way. It is sealed to make it more water resistant. Although I always rinsed it...

    lionfish spearing

    Lionfish handling- post spearing This is one of the reasons why I recommend you dont cut the spines off in the water at all. Use a Zookeeper. Not only is cutting the spines off in the water dangerous, its incredibly inefficient. On that note, dont do it on the boat, dock or in the parking lot...

    Shearwater Redundancy

    I dive a Petrel and a Predator and dive them redundantly. Some people prefer to run different GF's and conservatism, and what not on their second computer, with the idea that if something bad happened they could exit the water faster. That is not how I dive mine. I dive two for failover in case...

    I would check with Gold Coast Scuba Divers (954) 616-5909 (Fort Lauderdale, FL) - Meetup Their members collectively have more shore diving experience in the Pompano/Lauderdale By The Sea area, than anywhere else that I am aware of. As an added bonus you can make new friends locally and possibly...

    Using a backplate pad for storage

    I had one of those backplate pocket thingies. I ended up cutting it off and throwing it away I got so frustrated with it. Empty it was uncomfortable compared to the bare plate (like having a pebble in your shoe) with an SMB inside of it I knew almost instantly that it would be a problem. Besides...

    Dumb Fisherman in Pompano

    Howard this has become pretty typical. It is always unnerving to have that happen. I have actually surfaced from a dive when we were anchored on a wreck, and found a red faced fisherman challenging the captain of our dive boat for right-of-way on the wreck we were moored to with active divers in...
