    Middle/Lower Keys 4/11-4/13

    I will be in the area looking to do a double-dip wreck dive on the Vandenberg, Adolphus Busch, Thunderbolt or any other decent wreck in the area. I'm an experienced full cave diver with plenty of saltwater experience before that. I haven't been very active on SB lately, but there are probably...

    Thanks Bluewater Divers!

    Had the great pleasure of diving with Brent and Capt. Glen of Bluewater Divers this weekend. We had a last minute change of plans which sent me scrambling for some diving with just a few days to go. Talked with Brent on the phone and he hooked us up with a double dip on the Duane Friday and a...

    Semantics really...

    but, do you consider a dive up and across the Crossover Tunnel at Peacock and out the other side a circuit or traverse? Instructors who use this dive to qualify as either of the said type of dive for Full Cave are encouraged to chime in.

    Successful wetsuit diving...

    I'm looking for some feedback from "cold" water divers who dive wet... successfully. Right now I dive with a well used Pinnacle Polar (hooded semi-dry) and in it's younger days it worked pretty well, but still had a time limit and as age is catching up to it the cold is catching me quicker. I'm...

    Backup light batteries

    I posted something similar a while back on another forum, and since it recently came up in another thread, I thought I'd give SB a crack at it as I still haven't made my decision (not enough diving!). I am considering switching to rechargeable batteries in my backups (Salvo Rats). I feel that...

    Everything about Dive Rite Regs

    I'm considering some DR regs, if you use them I would appreciate some feedback on how they route on doubles and singles with an H-valve, so if you guys could post up some pics for me and/or describe how your hoses are routed and what lengths you use (backup, inflator and SPG mainly) I would...

    Units

    Alright, so, DIR prescribes a gear configuration right down to the last detail, specific gases, even some lifestyle choices, why not one set of units, either English or Metric?

    When using a long hose, how best to stow it?

    So, a long hose gets some attention on a dive boat, unfortunately for me it's usually from me pointing out to someone that they are unintentionally molesting it somehow with some part of their gear and/or themselves. Typically I don't have to deal with close quarters because I cave dive 90%...

    Keys Wrecks April 12-15th

    Anybody doing or anyone know of an op that does a double-dip on the Grove, Duane and/or Thunderbolt April 12th-15th? I spent enough time on the reefs while I worked in the Keys, I could do the Benwood though. Also, anyone pump premix nitrox in the middle and/or upper Keys? Lastly, anyone...

    I'm a believer now...

    I always saw myself as "Hogarthian", backplate, single piece harness, good hardware, long hose, bungie backup, lonely and bare SPG, simple lower dump valves, short corrogated hoses and an elbow on my doubles wing, but a pull dump on my singles. Came on the wing, not what I asked for but no...

    I'm a rat...

    a snitch, a stool pigeon, a canary, but I had to. I was at Manatee today, in Catfish Hotel Sink with some new divers doing some OW and I noticed 3 divers with lights, I didn't notice any reels/spools (they could have been in pockets) and all but one had single outlet valves. They were fairly...
