    Best "bare bones" liveaboards in US/Caribbean?

    Thanks for the heads up on the Cali boats - Great Escape looks like it has potential. That's a great and pretty accurate review. The crew (especially the chef) did a great job, and apart from constantly whining LDS members I was with and some drunken inter-crew drama after we had docked it was...

    Best "bare bones" liveaboards in US/Caribbean?

    Lately I've been jonesing for another cheap trip like Blackbeard's. For those unfamiliar with it, it's not so different than "camping on the seas". Small boat, roughing it with just a tiny bunk and a curtain, and the focus was on diving and not a whole lot else except for evening beers. I don't...

    Dry Suit Fins

    I've been using the Slipstreams both wet and dry for several years now and like them. They're close to neutrally buoyant. The only gotcha is that the foot pockets seem smaller (lower top to bottom in particular) than those of a comparable size jet - try them on first. Mine didn't come with...

    Email notifications not working

    The older will be deleted. I've changed opendkim's config file. Give it a try now if you could. It's bedtime. I'll fix it myself tomorrow. Thank you for looking into the issue though!

    Email notifications not working

    Wrong account. The one that's never appearing is *@broken.com. Nothing shows up in the logs. Clarification: It's a different user, "piningforthefnords". I didn't make that clear earlier. Here's message: 'Your account is currently awaiting confirmation. Confirmation was sent to gdd@broken.com.'

    My own mailserver (postfix and dovecot backed by PostgreSQL). I do monitor it if I think something is going wrong with it. To clarify: SB isn't being blackisted, I'm just seeing nothing at all coming from it.

    Email notifications not working

    Account registration emails aren't being sent, although (most?) reply notifications and the like are. These aren't even hitting the mailserver.

    Spiegel Grove Complete Deck Plans (Attached)

    Mirrored here, with torrent: http://www.broken.com/deckplans/ If there's enough interest and enough copies of deckplans/maps/etc, I'd be happy to mirror and archive them. Not like I'm hurting on disk space.

    Spiegel Grove Complete Deck Plans (Attached)

    Max, would you like me to put these on Bittorrent for easier sharing? Either way, thanks for digging all of these up and organizing them.

    Indoor exercises for diving

    Would anyone happen to have suggestions for a diver who has two trashed shoulders and two trashed knees? At one point I was a cyclist so my legs are still quite strong and in decent shape, but my core strength never was that great and I've managed to grow a gut since I'm not longer able to ride...

    Closed: [WTS] Dive Rite Nomad LT Cave and Zeagle 30# wing

    Replaced by SMS75, so I may as well sell it: This is the original Dive Rite Nomad LT Cave edition. 22 pounds of lift, which is more than enough for a pair of AL80s and deco bottle, or painted LP85s. Anything more than that and you need a drysuit. It's in like new condition and only has about 15...

    Deco diving without a written out dive plan?

    Two: a Petrel 2 and Nitek Q. It's conceivable they could both fail, and even if they don't... I still don't trust them. They're mostly used as timing and depth devices; I don't actually pay any attention to the deco time they display unless it's for a longer period than what I have in my plan.

    Deco diving without a written out dive plan?

    I've seen it happen. Some random guy (not my buddy) had both his computers shut down on him. Judging by his response, the proper way to handle this situation is "find the nearest person (unfortunately me), scream into regulator unintelligibly, gesticulate wildly, rip my mask and reg off, and...

    What would you do??

    Yes. One time in particular strikes me as memorable: A guy in backplate and wing and seemingly well configured high end tech gear was on a Blackbeard's trip. He's really tall and skinny and would probably sink like a rock, and it's June so he has no wetsuit and just a rashguard. He asks me for...

    Air integrated computer and tec diving

    Nothing to resurrect, it's still alive and well. I got called a stroke just a few months ago because I had EMT shears instead of a stubby knife. The funny part was that I was on a boat headed to a monofilament covered wreck, where my shears make much more sense. Moving back on topic: OP, if it...

    What would you do??

    It's not the shop's fault he's incompetent. They verify that he has the credentials, so blame his poor instructors. Now that shop-blame is out of the way... There are a few ways I could play this: * Talk to him and determine if he feels bad about it, or if he's a dick and this gear check is...
