    Wetwear wetsuits, in Hallandale, FL

    I’m breaking my habit of not doing reviews because I’m so pleased with the product and service. I needed a new wetsuit and decided to treat myself to a custom-fitted 3mil. Connie patiently guided me through a multitude of choices. 26 measurements later, I was on my way to a wetsuit that is...

    Lauderdale by the Sea photo ops

    I know BHB gets the attention, but there are some interesting things to be found right off the beach at Lauderdale by the Sea. They just wrapped up their Bugfest photo contest: http://www.mylbts.com/bugfest and some of the pictures were amazing, including the seahorse shot (my fave). Those...

    Giving a little thanks.

    We've gotten through mini-season without losing any divers ... a pretty notable accomplishment in light of some prior years' experiences. I don't know how much impact it had, but I noticed a number of local shops offering free refresher clinics prior to the kickoff this year. It was an effort...

    just had my butt handed to me...

    After 400+ posts, yesterday a friend/buddy gently beach-slapped me and pointed out that I've never introduced myself here. Hi. Most of the following is on my profile. Certified back in the 60s in Pittsburgh, Pa, but somehow gave up diving in the early 70s. I've been back into diving for...

    anyone run across a drug sub lately?

    Totally cool story.... It's only a matter of time before a diver encounterst this. :When reports first surfaced in the 1990s of boat builders making submarines for cocaine smugglers in the jungles of Colombia, U.S. law enforcement regarded them as a comic curiosity. Today, with the disclosure...

    FWC survey on mating horseshoe crabs

    Report mating horseshoe crabs - South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com Looks like FWC is doing some research and wants people to report sightings. I recall some discussion about horseshoe crabs "not fighting" (jet126's genteel phrasing) at BHB this week. The link to report sightings is here...

    taking long shot...lost flag and float today at LBTS

    While I was busy tieing for 4th with three other folks in the pumpkin carving contest this morning, the loop I used to attach the flag to the bottom came loose and flag and line were gone when I turned to pick it up. Checked the beach with no luck, though that's the direction the current and...

    Tilos diveskin question. Have I missed something?

    Let me start with explaining that I rarely return things and almost never have returned scuba gear. I bought a Tilos polypro diveskin at a LDS....not my regular one. Four dives (six weeks) later the zipper broke. No prob...back to the LDS who was very accomodating, but said the manufacturer's...

    Need advice on first trip....anywhere !!

    For right now, this is a fantasy trip. I've a window around late August or early September to go to Bonaire. I'm currently AOW/Rescue with around 100 dives or so in the last two years and sporadic experience prior to that. The place is definitely Bonaire. I expect to have a buddy with...

    LOOKING FOR Mr. BUCKETHEAD

    This is a 3 foot nurse shark we saw just north of Anglin's pier the other day at Lauderdale by the Sea. Obviously he's got this plastic ring (I think it might be a bucket top) stuck around him, which won't bode well for him health-wise. The fish hook trailing from his mouth won't help much...

    First time on this forum...recommendations?

    Last week I read Shadow Divers - awesome book. Today I finished Submerged, by Daniel Lenihan...also a good read. I've been through most of Clive Cussler's stuff, and prefer his nonfiction. Recommendations anyone? I'm open to any input. Thanks ahead of time. .
