Amazon.com: Deep See Heavy-duty mesh backpack for snorkel or scuba gear: Sports & Outdoors I use a slightly larger model of this bag, which has a "drybag" area to it. Works good, but you need to put a tarp down under the bag in the trunk to keep the water out of your trunk after the dive.

There's a bit more to the story... The Dockery family dove a lot in Florida, and they decided to buy a spring there... so many years ago they bought Vortex Springs and developed it into the facility it is today. They have a huge house there to this day. There are signs up there telling about...

I've only been diving two years, but I have, not once, been asked for my c-card to get an air fill. Not once, and I have dove in florida, hawai'i, the gulf, the midwest. As far as gear goes, they will sell dive gear to ANYBODY. Want a regulator? No problem, pay the money, it's yours.

How on earth does a boat hit a reef and then sink into 300 METERS of water? Pinnacle?

Parasailing is no issue whatever if your dive was at sea level. One thing you DO have to watch though, depending on where you dive, is where you drive after diving (especially on repetitive dives). For example, on the Big Island of Hawai'i in Kona, you pretty much have to stay on the...

The day after a body is found (if it ever is). Pretty hard to sue without firm evidence that he died there.

One thing that PADI cavern will do, if it is taught by an instructor that knows what he is doing, is instill in the students a proper respect for diving within your limits. If nothing else, you are taught over and over again to go no further than the light zone and to stay out of the cave...

The question for cave divers is how many cave sharks they expect to see... you can generally run off a couple of White Tipped Northern Florida Cave Sharks with a DIR knife, but if you get a whole school of them then you are probably going to have to pop the prop guard off your scooter and chum...

I must have been unclear if I gave the impression that I am going to buy my gear elsewhere. I am going to buy it from Edd, simply because he's already been greatly helpful to us so far and we've already purchased a bunch of other stuff from him. He advised me to shop around for some of the stuff...

Here's where we are at. Me, and my wife, are planning to take intro to cave next year, with the goal of working up to full cave in the next couple of years. We are going to be doing this slowly and gaining experience. We are in Missouri but will be doing all our cave stuff in northern...

I still can't get past the guy back there in the shorty... yeah, I know he has nothing to do with Ben, but i've been in that water, I couldn't dive it in a shorty.

Very, very well done. I agree that the best way to expose aquastrophics shady practices would be to mention aquastrophics often in places that would turn up in a google search of aquastrophics. That way potential aquastrophics customers that do a search on aquastrophics will turn up a lot of...

One other consideration on weight integrated BC's is what happens if you have to take them off while at depth. If you have all your weight in your BC and need to remove it underwater, you REALLY need to be prepared to do that or you will shoot to the surface like a cork (assuming you are in a...

I am a BIG guy... I look like I couldn't walk across the room... but I average 25 miles a day on the bicycle when the weather is decent, and ride an hour a day at least on the trainer when it is bad. The difference is, most guys who are heavy like me and my age look like the veins in their legs...

Quite true... but... I do know a couple people for whom getting you to sign their log is a big deal... it's kind of a way of saying "thanks for being a part of my dive"... I am not one of those people, I generally just put in the standard stuff (time, depth, water temps, vis, equipment...

I've been in a lot of dive shops, and I have my own list of what dive shops should do, and what they should realize. 1) "We can order that for you." Yeah, well, depending on the item that may be OK and may not. Example, if I want to convert a Scubapro yoke first stage to a DIN, and they don't...

I dive with a sawed off steak knife, and a sheath made out of sewn two inch webbing: Great for cutting just about anything except steel leaders, totally useless for prying so if you are planning on dismantling a wreck or destroying the bottom to catch hiding lobsters or something you might...

Dude, I WANT that camera housing! I have a Rolleiflex TLF that would fit PERFECTLY in that thing!

You can get hoses made to whatever length you want. Google around, but here's one place (just googled and took the first one I saw) that can get you any length you want. Hoses - Regulator Hoses - Northeast Scuba Supply

Thanks for the information. Having said that (and the following has nothing to do with your pictures or information about Ben) walking on the ceiling of a cave like was shown in your video is a very un-cool thing to do, and publishing pictures of it on the internet like it is a good thing...
