    Lessons Inspection Stickers and Jupiter Dive Center

    TLDR: Dove 3 days with Jupiter Dive Center and had my tanks filled 8 times without issue. After the last trip got back to dock I requested my tanks be filled again and Marcello condescendingly refused and stated that my VIS stickers didn't have a dive shop name on them and that he wouldn't be...

    Planning Trip to Asia Feb/Mar 2018: Recommendations?

    So I was considering a 1 week trip in Feb/Mar to Roatan; but given that I can fly to Indonesia/Malaysia/Maldives/etc for the same or less money from Atlanta I have decided that a first trip to Asia makes more sense. It is insane that flying to the caribbean is often the same as flying to Asia...

    Just curious as to where one would not want to stay on Roatan in Feb/March due to swells/ocean conditions. Is the West end not preferable for diving due to ocean conditions during this time period?

    Diving in the Seattle Area

    I will be in Seattle for work from May 7th through the 12th and I have always wondered what the diving in that particular area was like. So I am tossing the idea around in my head as to whether or not I should try to meet up with some local divers for a shore dive some evening after work, also I...

    Intova Mini Wide vs Intova Wide vs Princeton Tec Miniwave LED for Video Light

    I am looking for a video light to increase available light for 60' and deeper dives for the purpose of video. I plan on shooting wide-angle so I was wondering if anyone has any experience with using the Intova Mini Wide, Intova Wide, or PT Miniwave LED for video lighting purposes.

    Has anyone Dove the flooded Quarry in Milford, MA behind Shadowbrook Condominiums?

    I have been to this quarry several times in the past for the thrill of diving from cliffs into the water, however I did not scuba dive during that time period. So I ask has anyone ever Scuba Dove in this quarry? It is private property and it is quite a hike into the woods to get to, but maybe...

    So I want to get into some videoing of some of the diving I do. I have done a lot of research, but have yet to see any comparisons between these 2 cameras. So I was wondering if what I know so far is accurate and if anyone else has info which could help. UltraHD: Better in Low light Has...

    Bad Air Experience

    So I never thought I would be posting a thread here but apparently it happened to me. My friend picked up a setup of double LP95s from North Carolina which were recently (1 month ago) hydro'd and VIS'd which means they come with a fill of air. Well we got to the dive site, geared up and the...

    Diveland Dive Report 3/27/2011

    Despite the rain, we headed on over to Diveland in Glencoe, AL. Surface temp was 52 degrees and the the coldest I logged was 43 degrees. It was actually really comfortable for diving dry, definitely better than Lake Lanier. The rain had silted the water so that visibility was 5' and...

    Making your own LP hoses

    So long story short I ordered a 7 ft custom LP hose for regulator use and I received it yesterday and it appears to be at least 30 ft long. Now I really have no interest in using it for surface supply for use in shallow depths, but I can tell them about their mistake and request what I ordered...

    Oceanic Veo 100NX Fault

    So my wife and I were enjoying 4 dives in Pompano Beach, FL on Friday and we encountered some very bizarre behavior with her VEO 100NX. Before the 4th dive, we switched the gas in her computer to EAN35% and ran plan mode and it showed 1:19 at 50 feet and 46 minutes at 60 feet. No previous dive...

    It was a great weekend for diving. Tina (my spouse) and I arrived at 10:30 AM at the boat ramp. It was sunny outside and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. We geared up with 5mm suits and hooded vests and jumped in. Visibility ranged from 10 ft to 30 ft depending on where you were. It became...
