    Lafayette LA diving?

    NOLA, BR and Lafayette are inland. There is no diving there. No shore diving in Louisiana either. The Gulf water off the shore line in LA looks like the Mississippi River, Your best bet would be to drive to Pensacola, where there are numerous world class dive sites in clear water.

    How long can I wait before rinsing?

    It all depends on how "A.Retentive" you are about your gear. I bring one of those big plastic storage containers with me on every dive. (Can get them at Wal-Mart) If there is no rinse tank where I'm at, I just pull out the container and fill it up from the water hose that's usually present on...

    Atomic Aquatics Sub Frame Mask

    They really do need to have a Purge Valve option for all their masks (As do all the mask companies) for all the divers with beards, moustaches and hard to fit "Leak Prone" faces that prefer/find it easier to clear with a PV. I want to purchase one of the black Atomics for UW photography, but no...

    The Mares Super Channel Full Foots won the last big "Fin Test" competition and even beat the "Big Boys" (Apollo/Atomic Splits) for top speed and thrust. Mares also makes another strong FF fin in the the Quattro Power. You may or may not need a sock depending on the fit. I bought some Henderson...

    Hello from New Braunfels Texas

    Go check out AQUARINA SPRINGS, just a few miles up I-35. You'll have to go through a local dive shop because of environmental rules you have to follow when diving there.
