    Boat Diving Etiquette

    Totally agree except for the part about putting on your fins at the swim platform. Where I dive everyone puts them on at their seat and then flop-flop-flops up to the platform. Pausing there and fiddling with your fins probably would be considered bad form. As for tipping, always tip the capt...

    Shark tooth diving with Florida West next week

    What a great week of diving. First day was scrubbed because of weather, but we later managed 8 dives in 3 days. Found a virtually pristine 4.25-inch meg tooth and plenty of other cool stuff. Thanks Steve, Dan and Zach! You guys run a top-notch operation. Highly recommended to all Scubaboarders!

    Shark tooth diving with Florida West next week

    My friends are coming down from PA to dive with me. Any tips/hints on finding good teeth? There are many threads but some date back four or more years. Don't have a boat and gather that more teeth may be found offshore than beach diving. FR ---------- Post Merged at 07:49 PM ----------...

    Advice on Diving the KEYS ( charter, hotels, sites)

    Having looked through these threads for info on diving Key West, mostly I've found lists of dive shops and locations. My question is more subjective: How is the diving around Key West? It's important to me because I am considering a job opportunity there. My former instructor tells me...

    Boca Grande accident?

    Thank you Nancy. I didn't know he was freediving. It is a very sad story. Such a young man.

    Most Pointless and Ridiculous Thread Ever on ScubaBoard!

    I'm surprised the even allow that in such a controlled environment. Do they decontaminate it in some way before you can dive with it?

    Boca Grande accident?

    Val, what are they shooting? (Forgive my ignorance. My few East Coast dives have been sightseeing/lobstering trips.)

    Boca Grande accident?

    My Biller is rigged for line shafting but all I've ever done is free shaft. Most of the guys on the boat I go out on freeshaft. Rarely do they lineshaft. But I have been spearfishing for less than a year and haven't shot any giant monster fish. I hunt hogs, grouper and snapper. I'll admit I...

    Boca Grande accident?

    Thanks Haiko. You are a better Googler than me. I wonder what happened? The story I got sounded like he was lineshafting and somehow got wrapped around a piling, but I have no idea whether that is correct. Condolences to the family.

    Boca Grande accident?

    Someone told me they saw a story on the news about a spearfisherman in Boca Grande FL getting entangled on a piling and drowning after shooting a grouper last weekend. Nothing I can find on Google. Anyone know anything about this?

    Most Pointless and Ridiculous Thread Ever on ScubaBoard!

    Err, umm ... to return to pointless and ridiculous ... A Shetland pony walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender says, "Are you feeling OK today?" The pony says, "Yeah, why? The bartender says, "You're a little hoarse."

    Most Pointless and Ridiculous Thread Ever on ScubaBoard!

    I keep wanting to try that Epcot dive, but then when I get dive time I always spend it in the real ocean. Is it worth the money, the time and missing out on a "real" dive?

    I tried Mirazyme when the Odor Away ran out, and that seems to work much better.

    Awesome Capt. in Clearwater FL

    That should help make for a happy new year! January weather can be hit or miss. We had an unusually cold winter last year with lots of storms. Hopefully this coming January will be better!

    The Bare Bones of Spearfishing

    Just ordered a copy. Wish I'd had this when I started spearfishing, but it still looks like a fun vid and a way to pick up some tips.

    Awesome Capt. in Clearwater FL

    Hey, if anyone in the Clearwater FL area is looking for a good boat to dive with, you can't do better than Capt. TJ Shea with 2Shea charters. He caters to spear fishermen but also runs great trips for recreational divers or even hook-and-line fishermen. And in case you are wondering, no I am...
