I wear my jammer bathing suits. Much more comfortable!

Been a while since I posted here but my wife and I just got back from our honeymoon to the Society Islands and wanted to relay our wonderful experience there. When I was first planning the honeymoon, I didn't intend for it to be a diving trip. My wife, however, made sure to let me know that...

Hey all, in in Oahu this week and wanted to see if anyone had any suggested sites for shore dives. The north shore is out this time of year. Mahalo!

Well for this weekend at least it's a moot point. Rough seas are canceling my dive. Aw well, I'll have to try again in a couple weeks. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I would prefer that but unfortunately due to my travel schedule I always an flying somewhere on Sunday so I try and end diving activities by noon on Saturday. Current plan is a couple reef drifts on this Saturday. Nothing deeper than 60 feet for now. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Yeah, its still a tough question to answer though. The recommendation is 4 - 6 hours generally. Longer is better and avoid strenuous activity with heavy joint loading for a while. Of course, marathon training certainly falls under 'strenuous joint loading' but there's so little guidance...

I was so stunned when I saw the Coral Princess on the news because of how often I've been out with SFDH this year. Those guys are just some of the best crews I've ever been out with. Such a terrible tragedy when something like this happens and its sounds like it was a total freak of nature...

Well the articles were pretty interesting. I haven't read all of them but I have read a couple. Its interesting that the Divers Alert article suggests you should avoid 24 hours before and after diving before doing any exercise and especially joint stressing exercise which running definitely...

The thing that bothers me the most about this whole thread is that this guy might be a student at the University of Florida and I know that the requirements for getting into my alma mater are pretty high. I got lost in an above ground cave once. It was supposedly a simple thing to go in and...

Strangely I am not Nitrox certified. Its something I recently have decided I absolutely need to get done but probably not until next year some time. Just need to make some time to do it. Well, I may be getting ready for a marathon but I'm no SEAL :D I prefer not to push my limits when I'm...

Hey everyone. Mostly a lurker here but I have a question about diving and exercising. I'm currently training for a marathon in January and in December I know I'll have a little free time to get some diving in before the end of the year (and hit 100 dives! woo!) but I wanted to see what the...

I'm a software developer, basically. Though I haven't written much code in the past 6 months. :) We do lots of things. ---------- Post added May 9th, 2012 at 11:04 PM ---------- well he didn't ask price :)

I got Steve today. They only have Steel 100s to rent but I'll give it a try and see how it is since the buoyancy properties are similar between the two. I'd really like to try some 80s since that's really all I need but its all good. :)

Well, as for the tray...I agree on the superiority of the SRP tray. However I just didn't feel it was worth 3 - 4 times as much as the backscatter ;) And I know where my issue was in my first attempt at the SRP blurfix. I definitely did not have enough silicon, especially in the screwholes...

I have the SRP blurfix but their tray, while nice, is way overpriced imo. I thought about a DIY rig but I'm pretty lazy :D The Backscatter tray seems like a pretty good value. A little more than it would cost to DIY but pretty reasonable. I'm hoping it gets in before the weekend so I can try...

Hah, I had just read the article about this on the front page here too. I have never actually gone diving up here in the Tampa area so I've never wanted to buy tanks and I assumed renting a steel tank would be difficult. I like the idea of the steel tank though because more than just dropping...

I've lurked here for a while. I really don't know when I came here first. Probably when I was researching new gear. So I figured it was time to delurk! I've lived in Florida all my life and been diving for since 1998 or 99. Since most of that time was me as a poor high school/college...
