    Dive boat etiquette and buoyancy check

    Well, first dive is usually a wreck. A wreck is tied into. You can take all the extra weights, jump in, go down - a controlled sink holding a rope all the way down, then do your weight-in right where the rope ties into the wreck at the bottom. If you have any extra weights you don't want to use...

    Did anyone use a dry hood with a drysuit? Can you share your experience? Pro and cons? How is it different from a wet one, how is it attached.

    Cab stop and shop after airport pick up

    I'd go to the motel first. Drop bags off, then drive to mega. Get a new taxi after shopping is done. Might be the same price as to drive to motel, drop bags, have the taxi wait (maybe someone would stay with the driver), then board it again for mega. Arrive, say goodbye to the driver, shop, get...

    Is it easy to find the reef at Lauderdale-By-The Sea and is it worth it?

    What an obscene and impertinent reply! You have no manners. Because of your insulting point of view I won't be able to fall asleep. How dare you to have your own point of view and not to allow me to have one?

    Used to do it. Now it is 10min on scooter to the drop-off. Fun to ride too.

    Is it easy to find the reef at Lauderdale-By-The Sea and is it worth it?

    Dryfob is too expensive, in my opinion. It is just 2 pieces of aluminum but $50. Nah. Cool kids just spending their parents' money. Proletariat won't pay $50 for 2 pieces of aluminum. We'll see how these kids will be able to afford their cappuccinos after buying dryfob.

    Is it easy to find the reef at Lauderdale-By-The Sea and is it worth it?

    You can get a plastic version of above for like $10 at the local Force-e. Tie it to your flag, no need to risk flooding it.

    HERO 10 Black: WARNING!

    Not really their fault. They are using a technology that is prime for its use but by the video professionals, not by BBQ enthusiasts.

    GoPro image stabilization

    I have 7, 9 and 10 gopros. I don't particularly like the software stabilization (vs mechanical), as it kills details. Say you are shooting at 5K. The footage after being stabilized by the camera is no longer crisp on the sides of the video. It becomes kind of 720p stretched to 5K. The center is...

    HERO 10 Black: WARNING!

    It supports it if you get proper software. It might not be a turn key solution. Get ffmpeg and learn command line. Not saying it is the most user friendly solution but it is most complete.

    HERO 10 Black: WARNING!

    What a drama post. Works fine on my 16" macbookpro. You are simply not versed in video codecs and making a big deal out of nothing.

    A new SCUBA system?

    What a ridiculous attempt at grassroots marketing. Sure, you found the video at reddit. First thing you did made a new account here.. Please. Hello! If you want to advertise with the site, pay them money! Cheapskates. PS: When you leak your own "internal" videos, it makes you look inadequate...

    Just got Dive Rite 901 drysuit

    Just received, let me know if you have questions or need specific pictures. I ordered my custom made, kind of. Generic XL size but with neoprene socks (no boots). Also, asked for no leg pockets (I find pockets either useless or just get in a way for sidemount anyway). With delivery took 3...

    Drysuit Squeeze/DCS

    Generally, anything that restricts blood flow can help DCS, either from worsened circulation or adding to circulation some turnicated before blood with micro bubbles. Also, a normal suit squeeze can produce skin damage that looks like marbleized skin appearance from DCS. Mostly from trilaminate...

    Dive Spots for Windy Days South East Florida?

    There is a Lake Denton near Sebring, FL, that has scuba diving on weekends. Fresh water, fairly clean. Yet boring. The biggest things living there are turtles. I'd say 100% rec divers, have not seen anyone with two tanks. Wiki page says the deepest is 51 feet, the measurement prolly taken...

    Are we all going to ignore the forum title?
