    Sunny Isles in June, looking for recomendations

    North of Sunny Isles, the boats out of Pompano and Boynton Beach will put you on some of the nicest reefs and wrecks in the area. Ft. Lauderdale has nice wrecks too, but most of the shallower reefs are not spectacular. My favorite reef in FTL is fisherman's pedestal in 20' of water. The third...

    I was there today, really good conference. There were no computers for sale, but no one really had much stuff for sale mainly demos.

    Who thinks this Shark was Killed (or should have been shot) ?

    I stand corrected! Either way she's down our neck of the woods now. Wanna go find her? :)

    Housing, 70D, Lense insurance

    I have my gear insured thru H2Oinsurance.com which is the agency DAN uses. I've also read here you can add your gear to the homeowners insurance policy for a fraction of what it cost to insure it any other way. I'll have to check that out before renewing my policy.

    Why does PADI not have a "Find an instructor"?

    +1 As it was said earlier on the thread, they are not focused on the individual/independent instructor. This is clearly seen in their elearning pass purchase system & commission scale and has very little to do with the technological ability to do so.

    Recommendations for guided dive for newbie in FLL/MIA area on 5/23

    I'm out of town that weekend otherwise I would offer to dive with you. In Ft. Lauderdale contact Sea Experience. On Saturdays they usually do a 70' wreck and a shallow reef. They will be happy to provide a guide for you for a little more money. In Boynton Beach forum member Kevin from...

    need an ID

    Looks a lot like a bluefin trevally, but I can't tell from the colors on the picture. Definitively a Jack of some sort.

    ScubaBoard Invasion Central 2014 Roatan

    I love Coz, but I'm not sure I can sell the wife on two weeks in the Philippines and Coz. I'll have to cash in lots of brownie points for the Philippines. Thanks for the advanced notice... PDT#8 fall in!:)

    Dive site for a couple new divers this summer

    Yes, the wooden coaster has not been in use for years, but I think they still have the sky coaster. I guess a call would be in order to make sure what's still running.

    No Pockets where do you store stuff

    http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/general-scuba-equipment-discussions/482199-glue-pockets-vs-pocket-shorts.html Six of one, or half a dozen of the other! BTW, I could never get the DR Pocket on the waist to stay put, so I cut the the traps and glued it to my wetsuit!

    Dive site for a couple new divers this summer

    K1 speed is off of Sterling Road and I-95 (Divers Direct side) and Xtreem indoor is off of Commercial and I-95. They are very similar and have the really fast karts. Boomers which is on the opposite side of Sterling Road & I-95 has your traditional go karts, roller coaster, arcade and more. If...

    What would you do? T4i or G16

    While the camera is important, I think how often and where you dive probably dictates what you need to do. A Cozumel DM will probably have a ton of days in the water with perfect conditions for photography without strobes. He also gets plenty of practice with his set up to know what works and...

    Sharing a Dive Computer

    Sharing happens all the time with rental computers, although most shops I know don't actually have a system in place to assure that the computer is cleared.

    Glue on pockets vs pocket shorts

    I have glued on DiveRite bellows pockets on a 3 mil wetsuit and find them pretty convenient; however, I don't have to wear different exposure suits. I do miss them when I'm diving in the heat of the South Florida summer and I'm just wearing a rash guard and shorts, but I don't think I'd wear the...
