For a couple of years, I had seen friends (both recreational and technical/cave divers) move to Orca Torch lights. A couple of weeks ago, Orca Torch sent me a D710 to evaluate. It is very compact, has multiple power settings with a maximum of 3000 lumens output, and has a nice narrow beam. I...

Has anyone been to Buford Springs lately? I was there about 4 weeks ago (August 1) and with the heavy rains we had around that time, it was browned out. I even ran a line from the ladder (as the visibility was zero at the ladder) down to 100 feet and there was still no visibility whatsoever...

I'm looking to take a group of open water students to Lake Denton in Avon Park next week for some checkout dives. Does anyone know if, with COVID-19, they are open to divers? If so, what (if any) new restrictions are in place? Thanks!

Here is the latest CCR from Kiss Rebreathers -- the Kiss Spirit Lite. Designed for all types of diving, from deep cave diving to shallow coral reefs, it has the same constant mass flow system that has been used for over a decade in the other tried and true Kiss CCRs. It is small and compact, but...

As many of you know, Dr. Petar Denoble and I have been running a DAN sponsored study of PFO. I thought I'd update everyone on what we do and don't know about PFOs and diving. First of all, PFOs are very common -- occurring in about 25% of the population. Secondly, they DO increase the risk...

The tannic water is back in the Santa Fe river over Devil's Ear making for nice photos as the clear spring water coming up from the Devil's cave system dilutes the tannic water of the Santa Fe river. Wedging yourself in the flow and shooting up in to the sun with fast shutter speeds can make for...

Due to a late cancellation, there are two spots available to snorkel with humpback whales in the Dominican Republic March 23-30, 2013. This is one of those bucket-list type trips. To be able to spend time with this these magnificent creatures is truly the trip of a lifetime. I have reserved 16...

I just had four spots open up on my Silver Bank, Dominican Republic whale trip with Aquatic Adventures (www.aquaticadventures.com). The trip is March 23-30, 2013. This is a SNORKELING (no scuba) trip so anyone and everyone is welcome. Aquatic Adventures has been running these trips for 22...

Carol and I just returned from a fabulous two week vacation to Palau and Yap -- a week on the luxury liveaboard Ocean Hunter III (www.oceanhunter.com) in Palau and then a week at Manta Ray Bay and Yap Divers (www.mantaray.com) in Yap. My business sponsored the trip so our group of 16 friends had...

Kim Smith and the whole team at Jetsam should be commended for bringing a great new recreational rebreather to the market!!! You can see from the photos below that this looks very similar to open circuit scuba. It connects to a regular nitrox cylinder and uses your own open circuit...

My umbilical for my Green Force light has "crapped out" again. It has already been repaired once so I'm looking for a new one. Anyone out there got one they are willing to part with? I don't need a battery or a light head -- just the umbilical. Doug

I just returned last week from a fantastic trip to God’s Pocket (God's Pocket Diving Resort - Vancouver Island - Experience Cold Water Diving in British Columbia, Canada) Vancouver Island, British Columbia. As a Florida diver without a great deal of cold water diving experience I was a little...

My family and I just returned from a trip to Isla Mujeres. We timed this trip around the full moon in July because of the bonita spawning that attracts large numbers of whale sharks to the area. We had four days of snorkeling -- two days we only found two whale sharks each day, one day we...

My family and I just returned from a fabulous week in Curacao. We were there for a Dive Medicine Conference sponsored by the Hyperbaric Medicine Department at Long Beach Memorial Hospital. We stayed at Habitat Curacao and dove with Diversity. Habitat Curacao in undergoing some construction but...

I have a VRX with open circuit/closed circuit capability, nitrox/trimix, color screen, and PO2 monitoring. As I already have one and don't need a second, I'm willing to part with it at a low price. It's still in the box and has never been opened. The retail price for it from two different...

I just returned from the 7th annual Innerspace at Cobalt Coast & Dive Tech in Grand Cayman. It's a week of everything rebreather with diving from recreational limits to 330 fsw, lectures, a mini-trade show, raffles, and mostly great times with new and old friends alike. Here are a few photos...

You gotta love the diving in Florida. I had an excellent diving weekend here in Florida. First there were a couple of days of diving the reefs of West Palm with sunny skies, flat seas, and (finally) warmer water temperatures. And the marine life showed up in force. Then it was off to Eagle’s...

As the entire continental United States continues its "deep freeze", here are some photos from Bonaire and Curacao last week. We had a great time and, unlike a lot of recent threads here, we had no problem whatsoever with theft. We did, however, stay in the gated Plaza Resort Bonaire. We then...

With all of the cold weather here in Florida last week I was psyched to hear it was warming up for the weekend. I was ready to get in the water and signed to dive with Jim Abernethy's Scuba Adventures (Bahamas & Palm Beach, Florida Scuba Diving :: Jim Abernethy's Scuba Adventures)...
