My wife and I honeymooned in Curacao and she did her openwater course at the same time.... We stayed at the Kura Hulanda which was just across a footbridge from the main shopping area in town. A van took us to the beach (5 min) where she did her classes while I snorkled and enjoyed the...

Am looking to see what kind of urchin that is.... closest thing in the Deloach/Humann id books is the long spined urchin, usually black spines "occasionally have some grayish white spines" .

Manta straps seem bullet proof in the pin/cam style, but the adapter for button style fins may have the same issue....

The second shop was following protocol by doing a vip on a tank that you brought in empty, but if you pay for a vip then it should have their sticker....

For OW students the use of safetysausages (surface deployment) would be quick and easy to teach, and encourage students to purchase this simple piece of safety gear (some even include a whistle). For the OP this could have increased the chance of being seen in rough seas etc. SMB deployment...

I hope so... sounded reasonable at first, then got wack...

Have a look at this recent thread: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/new-england-lobsta-divahs/236233-scituate.html Sounds like an accident about to happen...

Here is a great local shop (n. weymouth) that can answer all your questions. Welcome to South Shore Divers Most SB members would not recommend motoring your boat out to 165', donning borrowed or newly acquired (7 mil included) gear, strapping that trusty "oxygen" bottle onto your back...

$400 dollars is cheap compared to your funeral expenses and the cost of your body recovery....

Take an Open Water Diver class! This post should be throwing up all kinds of red flags!

Look up "commercial diving" on this site... Check out "offshorediver.com"- UW welding projects are not that common in the oilfield- techniques are changing (ultrasonic bonding). Though "underwater welder" sounds cool it would be some time (years) after graduating from a commercial dive school...

Have found that my C.O.D. (closet of delights) is overflowing, and am afraid to ask s.o. for more space (picture link).... How good (bad) has your gear collecting gotten and how do you store said neccessities.... (pictures encouraged....)

the 288 website seems to be down, connects to some bs malware..... Does anyone know what their season, hours,days of operation are? Or new phone number?

Depending on the weight of the object lost it is possible that it could be caught in the upper part of the ooze, otherwise it will be as far down as it can go or you can go... that said this is not a scubadive- reserve tank or no. With loss of vis, unknown entanglement hazard, and a physical...

Agree w. abbo ... 3+ man team is the standard, comms etc. and dont want your rack operator choking hose if you jump your 2nd diver...

If you are on the bottom looking for something in the muck there is no real point to being neutral, your not concerned with protecting precious sealife or preventing a silt out and neutral buoyancy will only disorient your sweep pattern. IMO it would be best to get negative and crawl your sweep...

It would probably be advisable to have surface-supplied gear on a dive where you cannot read a pressure guage. Also a downline that you could sweep off of would certainly help... get rid of the fins too, rubber steeltoed boots and kevlar gloves that are thin enough to feel stuff with (we use...

I am currently on a Sat. diving boat that has been stuck at port in Calcasieau for more than a week due to a 70,000 barrell spill at a refinery upstream. I have been on bottom wading through 2 feet of dead fish (some nice size groupers too) after dynamiting the top package off for the "rigs to...
