    Got refused boat dives due to 12 month break

    When I ran a Dive Center in the Caribbean, we catered to the ships. For some ships it was impossible for the clients to make the first dive of the morning due to late arrival. Also if the ship docked late they would loose their reservation. Booking through the ship guaranteed the dives and...

    Article: Loving and Loathing the Lionfish

    They say that in South Florida the Grouper will be the predator of choice. This is also to support the bans on fishing Nassau and Goliath Grouper. The numbers are increasing slowly and great congregations of Goliath can be found on some wrecks in South Florida. Perhaps this is the ultimate...

    Recommendations for 2nd hand regulators

    Many times I have seen where the person selling the equipment knows nothing about it and just wants to move it to clear up some space in the garage. With that said I have seen regulators and BCs come in for inspection and service from this situation. Many were not stored properly and advanced...

    LP connector too short?

    It sounds to me that it is not the proper LP hose. Do the nipples of the Balance and the Mach V look similar? You should contact Oxy Hose I.D.: 1/4" - 0.240" to 0.275" (6.3mm) O.D.: 0.470" to 0.530" (13.0mm) Working Pressure: 320psi Proof Pressure: 640psi Min Burst Pressure: 1600psi

    In the spring Scubapro is coming out with the "Meridian" dive computer watch. It looks awesome. It also has SCUBA, Apnea and gauge modes. It will have what they call an easily replaceable battery. The case is marine grade Stainless Steel. Another cool feature (not for Floridians necessarily)...

    Just chew your food well on dive day. Just a precautionary measure.

    Free Flowing Regulator - teaching

    I had a first stage freeze up and the force of the air coming out of the second was so strong you could not use it without holding onto it. If you use your oct at that point you will just have 2 free flows. Just remember the high volume of the LP. With that in mind I wouldn't teach any other...
