I have not requested Scuba Board participation in a lionfish reduction proposal evaluation in a long time. The proposal has been endorsed by a leading scientist and stakeholders such as scuba shops, marinas, hotels, restaurants. Please take a look at the proposal described at the link below...

"Chasing Gas" - exactly right! I dive a little more because I can fill on a Saturday night when the LDS is closed, but having over a dozen tanks will do the same thing. Now reloading ammo is a different story. . . much lower up-front expense and similar "one half the cost" savings, but the...

Not a troll, just an observation: I have about 12 years of filling nitrox (up to 40%) though my Bauer Oceanus. I have several thousand fills using every o-ring and valve seat I can think of. . . no problems. I only use O2 clean valves on my O2 dedicated AL80 and a couple of "D" tanks. By the...

By the way: Discovery Dive world is hosting a lionfish derby on Saturday, 16 May (out of Destin, FL). The Emerald Coast Reef Association (ECRA) is a major contributor and sponsor of the "Senator Don Gaetz Champion of the Fishery Award". Sen Gaetz is scheduled to present the award at the...

Over the past couple of years, I have occasionally directed Scubaboard members to events or polls that are designed to do "SOMETHING" about the lionfish. My wife has spoken before the FWC and the Florida Senate appropriations Committee. These efforts actually work. The legislature has been very...

This Tournament encompasses Northwest FL (mostly between Pensacola and Panama City). Attached is a poster for the 2013 Emerald Coast Reef Association (ECRA) Lionfish Tournament. If you have any questions, post them here, send me a PM, or email candy@valp.net. I will post the rules very...

You may be correct. But, if the same incident occurred on the Oriskany, I am pretty sure it would have hit the TV news by now.

Location was not mentioned, but a first hand witness on a local forum said the diver did not make it. ---------- Post added June 23rd, 2013 at 12:26 PM ---------- First hand report from local forum says boat was on the "Navy Tug". Second dive after diving the "Lu Lu". We should see local...

I await the same information. It was not in any internet news this morning. I was diving out of Destin and could hear the Mobile Coast Guard side of the conversation. They gave the accident victim's name, which I won't mention here. I also checked the Pensacola Fishing Forum. . . 4th hand info...

My wife and I vacationed in Aruba June 7 -14 2010. Before we made our travel plans, I researched Aruba dive operations on ScubaBoard and many other websites. We chose “Native Divers” which is owned and operated by Romeo. Romeo is extraordinarily friendly, competent, and knowledgeable. If...

Paul, we are reef organization (Emeral Coast Reef Association [ECRA]) but we are made up of local divers and fishermen (most of us Dive out of Destin, but we are from Niceville, Navarre, Ft Walton, Valparaiso, Crestview, etc. Our old site (but it is still running) is...

I bought a couple of the regs and service kits a few weeks ago. Laura's service was great and I look forward to doing more business with her in the future.

Check with this group http://www.scubaholics.net/ and the links in my signature line below. The Scubaholics are divers. The Emerald Coast Reef Association is made up of divers and fishermen interested reef research and deployment. Details on our next social can be found on both links below.

Some of the research reefs will be dropped in fairly close proximity to existing strurcture. We expect sea life on those reefs to form on the order of several weeks. Others research reefs will serve as controls and may not see life for many, many months. Our first load was entirely privately...

We dropped 24 coops, or 12 reefs. 2 Coops are chained together to make about a 1600 lb reef. Depth varied between 110 and 150 ft (some of us spearfish and some only fish).
