    Do you dive with a knife? How about a big knife?

    I personally have never seen a pig under water, however I have observed a few six foot rats.

    Which red filter for Hero 3 ?

    The SRP solutions are superior in my opinion. HOWEVER - I have found their new plastic lenses (cy dome) to scratch very easily. I think its just the nature of a plastic lens. You must practice the utmost care otherwise you will scratch the lens. For my frequent diving on the wrecks and reefs in...

    Condom Catheter Blowout: Discuss

    For the record, here is the link to the sizing guide, and the users guide. These things are so cheap that you can get a general size idea, buy a couple above, below and at size, and try them out. Once you figure out your size, you can order a case of them, and it will come with a sizing guide...

    Condom Catheter Blowout: Discuss

    All great tips (no pun intended) I find that after you have ripped a few off it gets easier. diving frequently helps too. I think you would be better to drink some alcohol and rip it off than drown poor willy in alcohol. Dont over think this. Also, I use the Rochester wide bands ones as well...

    To those who carry big knives, what are the reactions you normally get and yours?

    That's not a knife! This is a knife! Great for defending yourself from all sorts of threats from the deep! Who cares what anyone thinks other than you? Use what works for you.

    Charter / Guide Recommendation Needed - Ft. Lauderdale

    You dont mention what type of diving you want to do. I will assume standard recreational diving. Why not dive off of Diversity if you are staying in Boca? Small boat, friendly operators. They seem to mostly do drift diving on the reef. South Florida Dive Headquarters does wrecks and reef in...

    Tennaco Towers

    You might check with one of the folks at MDC artificial reef program, as a net was just commercially removed from the site, there may be some "official" site documentation. I have never seen any document or photos that would help you in planning a dive there beyond the depth. I have a couple...

    Hero 3 camera sleep while diving

    I had similar issues - I tried EVERYTHING to fix it, as it was a glitchy sometimes occurring problem.. I returned it to GoPro and they replaced it. Be sure to insist on expedited return shipping. I did not, and they took like 8 weeks to get me my replacement camera. However I have had no...

    GoPro Depth (450ft)

    That is pretty incredible. Thanks for the report. I wonder if you had a chance to try the buttons on the housing at that depth?

    Tiny Doubles...

    Yes it would be cheaper, however much less enjoyable. Its true that if you are on a budget, this is not the best choice for you. Its not really about the "cheapest" way to breathe gas under water, I think its more about HOW you want to do it. I chose these tanks because I enjoyed diving them...

    Tiny Doubles...

    I guess I should throw mine in on the pile too! These are Faber 50cf tanks, with bands that I bought from Northeast Scuba Supply. OMS used to make bands for this size cylinder, but it seems that they have discontinued them. John was the one who first showed these to me. I have converted...

    Dive Rite Backplate Pad w/built-in sleeve

    I had one, cut the foam out as it added a lot of buoyancy, and then I ended up just throwing it away. Waste of money, and just one more thing to have to make sink/go wrong. I agree with you though the way it installs is silly. Halcyon got this right, however I came to the conclusion that these...

    Sharks Reliably sighted in palm beach?

    Contact Randy Jordan at Emerald Charters, and have him take you to Gary's. Emerald is your best bet for seeing sharks. Just be aware a lot of spearfishing on the boat. Definitely not a beginners charter, but if you are a good diver, you will love the dives. I see big sharks every time I dive...
