Today we were doing gear testing on BC's. Testing is broken down into several areas with the digital portion done in a lab for items like lift capacity numbers, specs, suitcase travel weight, size, etc. Us test divers look at a different set of items that relate to how each of us dive. And the...

In WPB/JUP for April, the underwater grocery store is basically closed so It's maintenance month. I finished refurbishing most all my gear's annual reg/Inflator/harness/gun/looper/polespear/VHF/etc and just 2 LP108's from the tank farm left to redo. Time to dive with my other " Point & Shoot '...

There is no better time to post this than April 1st while screaming BULLspit at your screen. It's known that you should be well hydrated before diving. The claim is that you should pinch your finger joint skin and if it returns to normal, then you are fine. But if it stays, then you are not...

Dove Easter morning Jupiter with Scuba Works boat DivOcean and Captain Kenny at the helm. It's closing day of lobster season after a brutal diving winter. Well,, with 10 ft of nothing Viz this was definitely going to be a hunt and we sure didn't want any with eggs! This was pure old school...

The winter weather in Dec, Jan & Feb was so terrible that we couldn't dive much so we're just trying to make up for lost time with more dives in March. Nice conditions today, 72° bottom temps, 1 knot current, 60 ft of viz, and light leeward winds with flat seas till noon then it picked up. Thank...

Spring Breakers have Arrived! Weather's sunny, beautiful 78 & flat diving seas topside. The I-95 gas stations are sold out of White Claw, Taco Bell is running low on Doritos Locos Tacos, and our sandy beaches are PACKED with bikini's. There was more red sunburnt lobster people not wearing...

Dove a few klicks north of the WPB inlet. Flat west wind seas, Bott temp 70, 1knt current, 80 foot of very blue viz. Quick limits. Always Thx to Steve & BJ for the invite. This weekend will be sweet !!

Dove WPB-Singer Island today. Seas were great at 1-2's, bottom temps still 70, current just 1knt, but viz was sweet at 80 ft & blue. Even the water at the BHB boat ramps at 1hr before high tide this morning looked really clear and could easily see the bottom in 15ft. In the ocean on my 2nd...

Cold 65 air temps and barely warmer 7-zero bottom temps with 3 foot waves. Viz at a hazy 40ft and real easy 1.0knt currents. Boat coats with hot, burn your tongue chicken noodle soup to stop the shivers. Good bug catches because no one has been diving from the monster waves. Even if your...

Due to the west leeward wind off the land, we stayed inshore to keep it flat. NOAA said 3ft seas but it was flat except for all the huge yachts running past us throwing roller wakes. Got drizzled on a bunch but visibility below water was almost top to bottom. Temps 73° and zero current. Dove up...

Conditions> 75ft deep, 50ft hazy viz, 1/2knt current, 74 chilly bott temps, & flat seas. We jumped on Kyalami Too with Captain Luke and DM Meme. It's the holiday week and lots of vacation divers filling up the boats.. None of the hunters have been hitting the reefs for the past 3 weeks because...

Back rolled into 90 ft deep & could see the reef clearly below in the blue water. On the bottom it was slightly a hazy 60 ft,,. Barely a half knot north current and the 16 mph winds were the only thing pushing the flag away. 79° on the bottom with no thermalcline at all. Cloudy so you'll need a...

It's Florida and winter is here with diver's wearing socks!! The cold chill is the wind on the dive boat. What starts with us uncontrollably Shivering is the 'Evaporation Effect" and not so much the temperature, that was pleasant when we boarded. You've got to stop the evaporation of water...

Last week I got lost trying to find this lobster spot that should have been a 'Full House' if you are a poker player. Today was good enough to claim the lobster jackpot !! Went just a little bit north of the inlet today. There was a lot of private boats with dive flags out today and everybody...

Some of my secret spots are hidden in plain sight. But you'll never see them on even the best bottom maps since you need to know which way to turn. I screwed up and turned the wrong way, thereby pretty much wasting an entire tank for nothing. The bugs are there - I'm going back !! Conditions...

Superstitious ? As a spearo diver,, Damm right I am !!! Didn't help that NOAA & the EURO models had opposing wind direction forecasts. Exited the JUP inlet on the Jupiter Dive Center R4 with Capt Brad, to west winds and calm seas. Ran out to 85 deep. Viz was 60 ft, water 81°, and current slow...

Dive Karma is defined as going way above and beyond,,, to help a fellow diver in need. And for that, you will be rewarded with an incredible dive sometime in the very near future. This morning we launched at the BHB ramp and were headed out the inlet. We saw some fellow divers that just broke...

Dove WPB today on ' Kyalami Too '. Kyalmai Too is the former and long time dive boat 'Scuba-Club' that has a well respected history of operation from way back into the 1980's operating out of West Palm. In that almost half century of dive operations they are the longest running and most storied...

Was walking past a very expensive retail watch store in a local mall and they had this full size display mannequin at the front window. 99.9% of people walk past quickly, but as a diver,,,this one stops you dead in your tracks to scratch your head.

Every late summer & fall is dangerous storm related discussions for dive planning & home prep. When posting a thread response there are many pre-approved source sites for video links that we can use. (youtube, NatGeo, NBC, etc, etc) One storm related media/video link that would be helpful to add...
