Some buddies and I were thinking about diving Ginnie on Saturday but we are now going to pass. You saved us a 5 hour drive, so thanks!

I have some I will give you if you still need them. PM me.

I purchased a Bullet with SLT a few months ago when DRIS was having a closeout sale. It replaced a Pinnacle Liberator that was the leakiest POS I have ever used. I have been very happy so far with the comfort and flexibility of the Bullet, even with the SLT neck ring. The Silicon seals feel...

If it were me, I would go to PCB and do one of the inshore wrecks like the Red Sea or Black Bart. I recommend Panama City Dive Charters if you decide to go to PCB. Save the springs for the winter when it is too cold to dive in the ocean (for me at least). If you are looking for springs to...

I am headed to Punta Cana the first week of July with a group of 4 couples (unfortunately, I am the only diver). We are staying at Excellence Punta Cana, which apparently does not have an in-house dive op. Can anyone give me any recommendations on how to get to Bayahibe? Is this something...

Yep. So is everyone else going with me.

Some buddies of mine and I have been planning a trip for the weekend of 2/22/14 to do a cavern dive at Buford Spring. From all reports it can be difficult to get in there even in good weather, so I am wondering whether all the rain we have been having in the Southeast will make it tough to get...

There is (or at least was) as shop called Island Dive Center located at the marina on Torras Causeway between Brunswick and St. Simons. I tried to dive with them last summer but we were blown out. If I recall correctly we were going to dive an old Liberty ship but I cannot remember its name. I...

I've been diving more than posting, thankfully. I took a cavern class earlier this year and have made several trips to the N. FL springs. I also did some diving at Panama City on a family trip in June, and have made several trips to Jocassee this summer. I am hoping to make a trip to Key...

Dove off the ramp on Labor Day, 9/2/13. First dive was down past the ski boat and into the trees (max depth 119 ft., temp 62 degrees), then came back up to the boat and followed the line north until it ended. Visibility was worse than expected, even at depth. Presumably this is because of all...

Thanks for the input guys. Looks like I will be giving Panama City Dive Charters a call for a private class.

Thanks to all for the input. I think I will skip the glove for now -- I can always pick one up later if the need arises.

Thanks guys. Looks like I will opt for DRIS Shorty. For those of you that have them, do you recommend the Goodman glove?

I am going to purchase a backup light and am looking at the DRIS Shorty 1000 and Hollis LED3. The DRIS Shorty is slightly more expensive but offers 1000 lumens (although I have my doubts that it is actually that bright). The Hollis is cheaper but is only 230 lumens. Both lights run off 3 AA...

I am headed down to PCB in the second week of June on a family trip and I am considering letting my youngest (a relatively mature 12 year old) get certified while we are there. From looking at some of the dive operations in the area, it appears that you can do the classwork online and then take...

That is interesting that is a Curtiss SB2C Helldiver, which is not a relatively well known plane. My grandfather was a tailgunner on Helldivers and Douglas SBD Dauntlesses in WWII (he was on the USS Essex and the USS Bataan). He said that the Helldiver was notoriously difficult to fly, and...

I live in Athens and had the same issue as you. I ended up sending it to ScubaToys and was very happy. The turnaround time was less than two weeks door to door. If you are worried about damage in shipping, just buy some insurance to cover the risk. Also, my shipping cost was only around $15...

We were in Edisto last year. It is a wonderful place, but to my knowledge there are no charters any closer than Charleston. I also don't think that beach diving would be any good, as the viz right off the beach is awful due to the tidewater rivers nearby. We did a dive with Charleston...

Thanks again to Krawlings and Tony_Webb for showing me and my buddy around the dive ramp yesterday. The viz may have sucked but it was fun diving with you guys and I look forward to doing it again soon.
