I was. I was on Horizons boat though. I saw you guys out there fishing. The dives that day were great, zero current on the wreck. As for RR and the OP. I did my ICD with them 10+ years ago. I have no complaints about the IDC and there were some good people there but they run a very young crew...

scrub for 5+ minutes or be done in 20 seconds with a lighter? I always get students who come with a new mask and swear up and down they scrubbed it good and hard. They fog up, I hit it with a lighter and watch the film melt away.

Sounds like they went to find Snoopy. On the 90ft deck there is a door on both the starboard and port side of the ship that run foward toward the bow. 50 feet in or so there is a hallway right next to a set of stairs (port or starboard side) that connects the two and there is a painting of...

Thats a quote from a tripadvisor review for a shop here in FL that the user gave a 1/5 star review for. They had other issues but i felt that little part would also show the mentality of most divers who come on vacation to Florida have and why most shops "babysit" you. Its not so much that...

Unfortunately that is how it is here in FL where most of our divers are once a year vacation divers. I believe in your theory that all divers should be able to take care of themselves and do all the proper buddy checks and so on but it simply isnt the case, especially in a vacation destination...

141ft to see the props of the Spiegel Grove.

As a diver i tip $5/tank unless i dont think they deserve it. Sometimes more if i get discounted trip prices due to being an instructor so i'll pass the savings on to the crew cause i know how little they are making. As someone who works on a FL Keys boat ive seen everything. From days of...

Anyone know if they are back up and running? Cause im headed that way tomorrow for the week and was hoping to do this dive Tues or Wednesday.

I actually have a lot of dives with the profile you are asking about but cant really answer since most boats ask you to be back on the boat in an hour. I can tell you at the end of that hour i usually have about 1200-1300psi left out of 3000.

I only knew of PADI but did my OW with SSI. Only reason for doing so was convenience and price really. I was on vacation in Australia and only had so many days. I called the two biggest shops in town, one SSI the other PADI, and the SSI one had a class starting right up and was closer to where i...

I just finished my DM today and it was an awesome course, we had a great time. My tips would be.... Water skills: Really not much to say here. I think the hardest for me was actually the 800m but we did it in open water from the boat to a mooring ball and it was so easy to get lost not being...

hah, yea i know. It was more of something to just toss up real quick to show family. I film each time i dive it and once i have enough i plan on putting together a much better video of the whole wreck. But yes i was using a red filter. No post editing color correction. Gear: Canon S95 Ikelite...

It was all given back today. A buddy of mine is stationed at the Air Force base where it was all loaded on planes to be flown back to Spain

I've had 3 different dreams with in the past week of sharks trying to attack me and my having to push them away by their noses. But im not going diving anytime soon and i actually love diving with sharks and have no fear of them.... i think i just watched to many videos on youtube or something.

Yea i figured it wouldn't really mater if you are staying within NDLs. I also figured since my AOW instructor was also a tech diver/instructor that maybe it stemmed from that mindset and having to do multiple deco stops or something.

Ok, so this popped in my head the other day. Back when i took my AOW our instructor had us do safety stops where what ever depth you were at divide by half and then do 1 minute stops from there and every 10 feet up. So if we dove down to 80feet our first stop would be at 40ft for a minute, then...

I also got 5 out of 13 and probably only got that many right do to lucky guesses and a little basic understanding of hypothermia.
