I know exactly what you mean. I was out in February when the water temp here barely made the 60's. Beyond being cold, it is such a hassle having to put on cold weather gear, and hoods always make me a little uncomfortable. It is so great in summer when you can just wear a pair of shorts! Love...

These guys have done the best job I have seen of combining dive travel and dive training. They will take you anywhere in the world that you want to go and provide you with a private certification course-from basic scuba diver to dive master and all specialty courses in between. The benefits of...

I know what you mean about underwater hunting. I grew up hook and line fishing but as soon as I got certified, and got a speargun, I was hooked. In my mind nothing compares to spearfishing. Still, I do love catching them on hook and line, but, if I could only do one, it would be spearfishing.

Thinking of putting together a hook and line fishing trip to our place in Panama, or perhaps even a combination fishing/spearfishing trip. It sounds like a dream to me but wanted to get your thoughts. Are any of you as crazy about hook and line fishing as you are about UW Hunting? As far as the...

Good Point Mikeyjoe-The skills taught in Rescue Diver are absolutely the most valuable of any basic certification.

Good point Hank, Once I had a gag grouper, who had been on ice for one hour, flip off of the dock while I was preparing to clean him. Of course he did not have much left at that point but it was fun to take a one-band shot on him from topside to bring him back up. I still don't agree with...

I too do a lot of spearfishing in many different environments. I have also done a fair share of deep tech diving. I do not use a pony bottle for the main reason that I like to keep things simple these days. I got sick of carrying doubles, and stage tanks, and keeping track of all the gear.A...

Great survey, very interesting, my only complaint is that it felt a little like a rip off in the end when it took me to the freesurvey.com website. Otherwise it was fun!

Thanks for the help and kind words guys. We are very happy to be a part of Scubabooard and will be blogging with you regularly with updates on this and all of our upcoming trips. And captain, we'll PM you shortly...

Sorry that I wasn't able to post the direct link to the trip. I just opened a new business screen name and I lost my scubaboard history of posts. Now it says I need five posts to post a link. If you go to extremediveadventures.com look under destinations tab and it will take you there. Thanks.

Well, we finally have soldified the logistics for our Normandy Trip. It has taken months of negotiations. This one is gonna be huge. Our French contacts have some very interesting wreck sites that we will be visiting, including a German U-Boat and a German Schnellboot that has just recently...

A Riffe Number 2 Competitor is my favorite gun. I love how quiet it is. The small size is great for close quarters and easily manuverable. With three bands the thing still packs a punch and has good range. The line system takes a little getting used to but this gun is outfitted with a snap...

I never get bored with this thing...

llqwyd-great post-I respect what you say and know much of it to be true, but I also know that many people take their fishing super seriously. In the gulf of mexico we sometimes have long runs to get to good fish, perhaps 80 miles one way. Running 80 miles in rough seas to get to where you think...

I'll bet around the time he put shaft #4 into the shark he started thinkng..."Why did I get myself into this?"

I do A LOT of both rod and reel and spearfishing. It is true that an experienced spearfisherman can be much more selective. It is also true that fish are very skittish to SCUBA, except hogfish of course who almost seem to be attacted to bubbles sometimes. It is a very rare day when you can go to...

It is so obvious that this was pure promotion (they just happened to have a photographer and videographer with them?). And I've got to give them credit...IT WORKED!! CNN, Fox News, etc. all picked up the story. I'm sure these guys website was overrun with hits. But it is kind of lame to play up...

You guys are making me hungry. I too have been spearing for years and cooked plenty of hogs. I just never get tired of that white, flaky meat-it's as close to shellfish as you can get. Grilling is a great way to cook them. Put just a dash of garlic salt and crushed red pepper on the filets...

I agree with the Knighthawk recommendations but I also love the Oceanic Probe-back floatation, large pockets, low profile, D-rings. It has it all and gets the job done for me. Drew Extreme Dive Adventures Welcome To Extreme Dive Adventures Inc.
