For comparison here is video I shot with the HERO3 Black edition. What they are saying about battery life is true, however generally speaking it will survive a single dive. The LCD Backpack of course makes it worse. There is a 3rd party battery solution available for the HERO3 from Wasabi. I...

One thing this sport has taught me is the ability to laugh at myself. Another thing is that there are days when the juice is not worth the squeeze. Sounds like you came upon one of those situations/days.

This morning. Pensacola Racer and I teamed up and dove Tenneco Towers Deep. It was spectacular!

I have been through this shipping Lionfish around the USA. I know you said you dont care about the money but others might. Shipping in dry ice is considered hazardous materials by most carriers. Some will refuse to transport and others charge a large premium, and require very specific packaging...

Not a very good one either. Maybe in a round about way they seek marketing personnel?

For the record it comes with Buhlman. The upgrade being discussed here is VPM. I'm sure you meant to say VPM. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Bocas is simple since there is one dive shop. If their boat is working you'll be able to dive, but I would not count on it necessarily. Nothing in Bocas is run well or reliably. Are you going there exclusively to dive? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I have both. I originally purchased the VPM model because I thought I needed it to plan dives with V-Planner. After a few dives with that model, I did not like it for a few reasons. Main one is I have done so many dives on Buhlman, and have come to expect the deco stops that it provides. VPM...

First we had cyber divers in this thread, and then cyber-captains. It only stands to reason that now the cyber-attorneys are chiming in. Isnt it about time to put this thread to rest? I think a cyber-psychic would be the next appropriate poster otherwise.

Right on! It came up to our boat too! Needless to say this is an extremely rare occurrence in South Florida. One of our underwater video production companies, Video Dude Productions took some incredible video of this event. It is currently locate at this link Whale Shark in Pompano Beach - YouTube

I realize you asked specifically about Deerfield/Embassy suites area to dive. Its an OK shore dive there, but youll probably want to expand your horizons a bit :) If you really want to dive from the beach you might consider joining the Gold Coast Scuba meetup group. They dive all week every...

I have both computers, they are both equally incredible, and trust me - you are not missing much. The best thing about the Petrel is that it can use any AA size battery - Other than that, compared to the Predator, I would be happy with either computer. I dive them at the same time many times...

That is definitely not clear from their website. If it is true that this only works with the Hero 1 and 2 housing, Snake River should make that a little more clear on the order page at least. That having been said, I ordered one anyway, as I have a Hero 2 as well that I intend to keep using...

Why does everyone keep referring to that wreck as the RSB-1 lately? That ship was sunk and renamed to honor a local hero, and thus should be called by the name it was given to memorialize Mr. Jim Torgerson, who at the time was the lead explosives expert for Broward County Sheriff's office...

First of all, I have owned My Silent Submersion Minnus 1.5 since the early part of of this year. All total it has over 100 dives on it. I have thoroughly enjoyed diving with the scooter. I have never been able to drain the battery, it just keeps going and going all day. Its fast, pulls me in...

Why not just use the real ScubaPro straps? You are aware you can purchase them separately? I have seen the "knock off" straps, and its pretty obvious looking at the design of the ring that they will fail much faster than the ScubaPro straps. In this case you get what you pay for. Buy it nice or...

In answer to: #3 the only app running at the time of your dive is the igills app. #4 then no one would ever sync their dive computer with a desktop or laptop for fear of a virus. And I have yet to see a single iPhone virus. When I sync my phone, im not trusting my life to it. When I use...

I have enjoyed many of Dr. Ray's documentations, and descriptions of the local reefs. One of my favorite dives is "Rays North" and "Rays South" as well as "rabbit ears" reef. I never knew much about the man, but I am very familiar with his work in the local area on the reefs. I am sorry to hear...

I have gotten decent results with my Backscatter flip up lens, certainly better than without in my opinion. Whether you wasted money or not depends on whether YOU are happy with the results. For 50 bucks I am not complaining or expecting much. I mean you are shooting video through a piece of...

I did not see this emphasized in the thread so far - maybe obvious to some, but may not be to the OP, is that you MUST FULLY DRAIN - YOU MUST FULLY DRAIN THE TANKS BEFORE LOOSENING THE BANDS! One you have them drained and loosened lay them on a flat surface, and carefully work the manifold out...
