My buddy found some dive gear Sunday afternoon at the beach off Datura Ave. in Fort Lauderdale.
If you can describe it in detail (and maybe cough up a reward?) give me a shout.
The Bering Sea Gold show is fascinating for the most part because the divers are generally inept. Makes you wonder why there are not larger commercial operators up there with real hard hat divers working?
Got a DIN valve that has been "slightly" cross-threaded. I say "slightly" only because you cannot see nor even feel any anomaly, however the reg only gets about 2 turns in before it stops. Any experience on here with chasing threads with a tap?
If so, what size tap will do the trick?
Check in with Capt Dan Fowler at Liveaboard Scuba Diving - Bahamas - Florida Keys - Fort Lauderdale they do local weekend get a way trips out of Fort Lauderdale and will go pretty much where ever you like; Bahamas, The Keys, you make the call.
Mike,
Can you tell us more about this feature?
From my export text file:
What can I do with this information?

Actually, they have added a new catergory for portable VHF units for Scuba Diving and are not associated with a particular boat. I just got my lifeline unit and the first step inregistering the device is to go out and get an MMSI #, the DSC "LocateME" feature will not work without it.
Surprise, the media reports are wrong. Pretty much anywhere 3 miles off Miami and you are in over 700 feet of water. Second dives on local trips are ALWAYS shallow in (30 feet or less) that puts them within 2000 yards of the shore. Know the area, know the dive sites, then chime in. Rely on the...
The most likely explanation here is that they never got on the dive roster in the first place.
I can’t tell you the number of times I have seen divers show up late to a busy dive boat getting loaded up, crew running around taking care of last minute diver problems... "I can’t find...
VooDooASSman, again you make my point better than I can myself;
The word accident is defined as : "an unfortunate event resulting especially from carelessness or ignorance"
VooDoo, Thanks for chiming in and reinforcing my point that ignorant people perpetuate deadly misinformation.
Again, a minor child cannot legally make any life and death decisions for themselves.

So the purpose of this accident forum is to hopefully learn from tragic experiences such as this one so that others may avoid them.
The core of what went wrong here is that a 16 year old child (yes, child, the law says so) was allowed to dive solo. Does anyone here really think that is OK...
Don't know if this is the right place for this , Mods feel free to move.
Looking at getting a Nook Color eReader (to run V-Planner, etc) , has anyone tried the waterproof case yet? Anyone experimented with the depth rating on a deco stop?
Were back Baby!!!
DIVE SITE: Commercial Pier, Lauderdale by the Sea, or the Shipwreck Snorkel Trail off Datura Avenue, call it what you like, we are diving it!
The area off Datura Avenue beach is regarded by many as the "Best Shore Dive in Florida." The REEF survey database for this area...
This reminds me of that old joke about how NASA spent 10 years and 10 million dollars developing a pen that would write in zero gravity... the Russians just used a pencil.
You guys have truly outdone yourselves this time... On the way to the dive site when you stop at the store for coffee how...
