On the International flights I have made with the pony, valve has to be removed and it must be in checked baggage not carry on. I have simply placed a piece of clear tape over the neck of the tank to keep debris out and had no problems.

Nice to meet you as well! I was on the Northern end of the Breakers on my ascent. ---------- Post added January 22nd, 2013 at 11:08 AM ---------- Oh I will definitely be back, a good viz day at my local shore diving site is 10' so 15' - 20' is fantastic. Hopefully I will hit it on a great day...

Lost my BHB virginity over the weekend and I must say this is the best shore dive I have ever done. Lots of critters good viz and a friendly bunch of divers. I will return. Only downside to my trip was a lost camera offshore but the bridge had nothing to do with that.

I know it is a long shot but I thought I would post it here anyway just in case. Lost a Go Pro original hero with Snake River Prototyping flat lens fix 1/20/13 on the last dive of my trip. Diving Breakers Reef lost camera on surface at end of dive, must have come loose at surface, Lost at the...

The Schurz is one of my favorite dives and it is interesting to see it wrapped up in Sand Tigers. Typically there are only one or two on the wreck at a time. The usual resident sharks have typically turned up their noses when I have offered them a speared Lionfish as a treat.Maybe I haven't...

The only difference in the water from a physics perspective is 1 atm in fresh water is 34 feet as opposed to 33 feet in salt water.

Of course they did, I bought the previous version last week. Just my luck.

Yes Beaches T and C rents suits. I believe it is $10 a day. They have 3 mil Farmer John tops which are long sleeve and short legged. Tell the crew at the dive shack Big John says Hi!

I have to second Baby Duck's recommendation. I add a little Listerine to my bladder and swish it around periodically to disinfect and prevent nastiness from growing. So far there has seemed to be no ill effects encountered.

The ride out can be anywhere from 15 - 45 minutes depending on the site. West Caicos is a popular destination from Provo and is about 45 minutes. Northwest point and Grace bay are much closer. As far as distance from shore you will not be out of sight of the shore with a quarter to half a...

It depends where you mean when you say Hatteras, it is a long island with many places considered Hatteras. If you are headed to Buxton near the lighthouse I would recommend the Cape Pines Motel Cape Pines Motel, Hatteras Island, Outer Banks, NC. No frills, no beauty but a good cheap place to...

I have found that, for offshore dives, it is not the wave height that is the biggest factor in how challenging a dive may be but the correlation between wave height and wave period. The closer together the two are, the steeper the face of the wave will be. 8 foot seas with a 20 second period...

Without having mine in front of me I would say mid to late 80's. It looks almost identical to my 1987 jacket.

Oh no Sam, please tell me you didn't share ribs with him! And here I thought you were just a NC stalker!

The 40 PSI is well outdated too and there is no choice in removing the valve. From the TSA website:

I just got back from my third trip to Beaches T & C can't can't say a bad thing about the dive experience I have had down there. The boats can be a little crowded but most of the operators down there dive similarly sized boats. The maximum number of people diving your grouping will be 8 along...

I am an agent in the Health Insurance business and I have never heard the question of diving or any other hobby come up in the underwriting process. I represent a number of well known companies and none of them have an additional rating for avocation. The caveat here being insurance varies from...

I use Diving log Diving Log 5.0 - scuba logbook software for diver - dive log, scuba log. It can download a vareity of computers and had great features for logging your dive info/photos/profile. A little cleaner interface than the UWATEC software.

Baby duck is correct. Radio Island is about the only shore dive going. It is divable on high slack tidefor about an hour. It is a fairly long walk from the parking to the diving and Discovery has a pontoon boat that will at least transport your gear for a minimal price. Here is their info on...

If you can put up with all the family vacationers during your time onshore Beaches Turks and Caicos offers two "free" dives a day.
