I like Key Largo for diving. Spend a day in Key West with your wife. For check-out dives I recommend Conch Republic. Took the non-diving wife with me on my last trip to Key Largo. She had a good time. Here's a Florida Keys diving guide that I found to be very helpful when I was planning our...

Well, when you're diving with us this summer we will probably be diving on one of those high current days where you will definitely feel the drag from the snorkel. You won't see me wearing one but it'll be in my pocket. AL

Alabama requires a motor vessel license to operate a boat or jetski on public waters. To receive this license you either must pass a written test or present a certificate of completion of a US Coast Gaurd approved Boater Safety Course. The Motor Vessel license is then added onto the Alabama...

Florida Keys diving is varied and enjoyable. The FL Keys are big so there's lots of good diving and operators down there. Never dove the US Virgin Islands so can't help out there. Here's a Florida Keys diving guide that I found to be very helpful when I was planning our trip...

My pony configurations. I've used 2 different ponies. I've got a 50 that I dive slung on the left side of my BC and a 19 that I dive mounted to the right side of my tank. I use the same regulator for both ponies (obviously I don't carry both of them on the same dive). It's a single hose(5')...

Wife and I ate at the Bayside Grill at sundown last time we were there. Loved It. breakfast at Harriettes was awesome and we enjoyed a lunch and some down time at Sharky's. Then there was that Pizza place somewhere at Islamorlorda or Marathon or somewhere between. It was excellent. Can't...

thanks for the update!! AL

Both me and my buddy have been hung up inside wrecks before. We both were able to extract ourselves before OOA was a possibility but I can see where it would be a concern for an snare/entrapment or lost diver/silt-out/dive-light failure situation. I hd an o-ring failure once, beggining of...

I need to get one of those 40's. I dive with a Faber Steel 50 slung on the left side and have to remove 3-4 lbs from the same side front weightpocket or I dive with a noticeable list. AL

Many times! Most were many years ago! Many, Many, Many moons ago I was a rescue diver, trainers assistant, and DM candidate. I was also a college student, distance runner, bicyclist, or in the military, IOW in fantastic shape and could make an 80 last almost forever. Very often I was either...

Well my next planned dives on the calendar are the wrecks off of Cape Lookout North Carolina June 24- 28th. We are going to dive a german u-boat the U-352 and a bunch of other wrecks. Now we are going to hit the quarry a couple of times before we go on that trip to work on equipment and get...

I've dove both subs. In July you will more than likely have warmer waters and better visibility on the U-352. That is because the U-85 is in the Labador current and the U-352 is in the Gulf Stream in July. Although if I remember correctly the U-85 is 10-20' shallower than the U-352. Here is a...

I agree $300 for a 30 min dive is very pricey. You can do the EPCOT dive in Disney World for half of that. Still it is a dive i would like to do at least once!!! AL

Now this thread is getting to where it needs to be. Eddie, I would love to dive your cove with you. Sounds like a perfect place for me to solo. Things to consider. How good of physical shape are you in. You capable of swimming that cove by yourself? What are the current conditions in that...

Hey Robin, Most dive boats run every day they can that part of the year. There may be some blow-outs though. These are the dive ops that are on my short list in the Beaufort/ Morehead City area. I would start with them. Their larger boats have cabins with tables that you can set your...
