    Thanks all! Yes, usually a series of 7-9 images, blended together manually, and then a lot of post processing.

    How many of you think solo is OK to do and why?

    I solo dive all the time and have no issues with it. But I have had proper training, have the knowledge, the extra gear, etc to do it. I don't advocate it to anybody nor do I make a big deal out of it. If a buddy is free I'll dive with them, if not, ill dive by myself. I do a lot of guiding on...

    How many of you love diving with your spouse?

    Mine isn't interested in diving, but she likes the ocean, aquatic life, snorkeling, springs, hanging out at the parks, etc. This weekend we're going camping at one of the spring parks, going to do some snorkeling, might get a good cave dive in by myself. The next day a buddy is meeting us at...

    2015/01/03 Blue Heron Bridge Night Dive

    Happy New Year all! I got some camera upgrades over the last several months and finally got to put them to good use last weekend on a night dive at the Blue Heron Bridge in Riviera Beach, FL. The vis was perfect and the currents mild and I was able to really put the new camera system through...

    latest SM set up with pics - for anyone getting started it may help....or not

    Get a pair of cam bands and then attach your clips to them for the bottom band. You don't ever need tools to swap tanks and they are easy to travel with. I keep permanent clamps on my steel tanks, but all my AL80's I use the cam band setup for since I often swap tanks, monkey dive with them...

    Monkey Rig 2.0

    Found my receipt, I got it here: DECO - Dive Equipment Company - Sidemount Bladder 22# It arrived in an Oxycheq box, but it doesn't say that anywhere on the Deco Equipment website. I know what you mean by the "bulk" feeling, yes if you fully inflate it on the surface you feel it a little. While...

    Monkey Rig 2.0

    I dove this with no bladder for a couple years. It was my go-to rig for shore diving and shallower boat dives. I just strap on a single AL80 sidemount and jump in. That's basically what "monkey diving" is. (google it, it's been around for many many years). It's a lot of fun and very free feeling...

    Monkey Rig 2.0

    I recently went to Mexico and had been needing to finish my monkey rig. Wanting to dive double AL80's in Mexico, I needed some lift. I found this little bladder and slapped a few parts on it, then tied it to my monkey rig with bungee. Monkey Rig 2.0 was born! I ran a quick test on it in shallow...

    Florida Cavern locations for new certified Cavern divers

    We've seen many incidents there and don't want the park closed for diving. Just put your cavern cards in the dash of your vehicle, and if people ask, respectfully tell them your cert cards are on the dash. The rangers will check your dash for cards too. So long as everything is ok, they will...

    Cavern / Intro Cave Playa del Carmen?

    I always dive with Cave Heaven out of Tulum. Adam is a wonderful guide/instructor. Being that Playa is not far from Tulum, there are a wide variety of places to get training between there.

    the truth about DM's

    I just got into this whole DM thing more recently and really enjoy it. I wanted to become a DM so I could help teach (and eventually become an instructor). I then wanted to help teach/buddy/DM in a tech environment (full cave, deco, etc) so I became a Tech DM. I enjoy being a tech student's...

    Article: Shearwater Announces Nitrox Recreational Mode for Petrel

    Very cool Shearwater! Just downloaded it to my Petrel (been diving it over a year now) and am pretty happy with how it looks. I use mine for cave diving, but also all my open water diving, so this will be a fun new way to simplify the info for the more simple dives. Although I bought mine for...
