Don't get hung up on the deep side/shallow side at Gilboa. You are not allowed to dive the deep side without a deep diver cert or higher, you must have 2 independent cold water regs and tanks, you shall have a drysuit and a drysuit cert. The shallow side is only goes to 60 ft and has all the fun...

All our students wore rental 7mm wetsuits. The water temps above 60ft is very doable in a wetsuit. The water is warmer in the late summer and the fall. The "shallow side" is where all the fun stuff is at. The Gilboa website posts the current water temps. If you haven't got a wetsuit already, I...

I would say go for and dive at Gilboa. When I was Divemaster ing, we would travel down and do our open water checkouts at Gilboa quarry. Yes it's cold but it's a controlled environment, it's not like out in a lake or ocean and there is a lot of fun stuff sunk there to see. The biggest issue with...

I have a bunch of Cris Kohl's books on Great Lakes Shipwrecks. https://www.amazon.com/Books-Cris-Kohl/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ACris%2BKohl

I have a sub Gravity 3mm aluminum backplate for my travel BP/W and are going to get their 6mm stainless steel backplate for drysuit diving up here.

The Dive Rite Hydro Lite is a great travel BC. https://diverite.com/products/singletank/single-tank-packages/hydro-lite-bcd/

I have been wearing multifocal contacts for diving for about 20 years. I have a different prescription for each eye. The left contact is "geared" more for close vision and the right contact is "geared" towards far vision and this works pretty good.

We will be at the Iberostar 4/20 - 4/27, we should try and meet up for a drink.

I have owned nothing but Bare wetsuits for 25 years, they a well made and last a long time, and they come in 15 sizes. https://www.baresports.com/product-category/wetsuits/mens-wetsuits/

You won't be happy in a wetsuit. If you can't afford a drysuit, get a semi dry suit. I recommend getting a Bare 8/7 Velocity Ultra Semi Dry and it comes in 16 sizes. https://www.baresports.com/products/all-wetsuits/7mm-wetsuits/8-7-velocity-ultra-hooded-semi-dry/ I have owned nothing but Bare...

I also have narrow feet and I have a pair of Seac 5mm boots and use them in my Mares Quattro Avanti fins and really like them. Best Seac Basic HD 5mm Boots with Side Zipper for Sale | Divers Supply

Look at Bare wetsuits, they come in 16 different sizes. I just replaced my 25 year old Bare 3mm wetsuit with a new 3mm reactive wetsuit. https://www.baresports.com

Just a thought, maybe you are wearing too many socks and your feet are sweating and that is why they getting cold?

I have 2 Kraken NR-2000 dive lights, they are high quality lights and I really like them. My local dive shop owners son is one of the owners of Kraken Sports and he really knows his stuff.

Get a pair of Mares Avanti Quattro fins, arguably the best paddle fin made. They have been around for years with no gimmicks or gadgets, just a straight forward good fin. I have been diving mine up here at home and down south warm water diving for about 20 years...

That's your opinion and your entitled to it. I have never had them "disassemble themselves" ever, they probably weren't done up properly to start with.. If I had to do it all over again I would buy the exact same BP/W from sub Gravity. In fact I'm going to get their 6mm BP, 37 lb wing and...

Have you actually dove a Sub Gravity BP/W? How exactly is this "too much crud? Adjustable Harness System - SubGravity

I have a Sub Gravity 3mm aluminum BP, 26 lb wing and adjustable harness for my travel rig. I love their adjustable harness is clean, simple and no plastic parts and works great. They make high quality gear and they were very quick and helpful when I was emailing them a few questions about their...

Don't judge the whole island country from a one day cruise stop at one town. I have been diving out of the village of Bayahibe on the south Caribbean Sea side of the Dominican Republic since 2016. There is reef diving, wreck diving, wall diving and even a cave dive. You will see several...
