    Seacraft ENC3 Inertial navigation unit?

    Not sure how it can compensate against the current. Same as any boat can only see the speed only against the water (without GPS like solutions).

    Review Getting into boating for scuba can be cheaper than you think, $5000, no need for a trailer, slip or storage

    Inflation comes in 2 stages. First you inflate 50%, so the boat would take some initial shape, helps to put the floor boards in. Then you complete the inflation. Probably under 15mins just inflation by itself with a proper electrical pump. Most boat needs just 3psi, the keel needs a bit over...

    The search continues for a more efficient storage/transport of the boat. However, storage costs, does not matter what shape, size, or location it takes. So far I have a solution. Not the most efficient, I'll grant you that, yet it works. The inflatable boat does not need any maintenance. Wash...

    It is 14 feet. The boat itself is light and 20HP provides more than enough power for people and the gear.

    Review Getting into boating for scuba can be cheaper than you think, $5000, no need for a trailer, slip or storage

    I bought a ladder from BassPro, it is a very light collapsible ladder made of rope and plastic horizontal bars. You'd drop it from the side. As a strategy getting in, you'd remove and hang your BCD outside in the water and get in without one. If you don't have a bimini top, your you fold it, if...

    The motor is like 97lb per manuf spec. It is heavy but I am fit enough to lift it and manipulate for a short while. I have a specialized dolly for outboard motors. I'd roll it on a dolly to my SUV, take it off and put it inside, doesn't take much. I assemble the boat next to my car at the site...

    Review Getting into boating for scuba can be cheaper than you think, $5000, no need for a trailer, slip or storage

    So, living in Fort Lauderdale I was looking to get into boating to augment my scuba hobby. Boating is fun, plus, if you add scuba into the equation, it becomes a wholesome package. My complications is living in a condo, not a house. Dry docking is very, very expensive. While maybe I can afford...

    34 dives to 15 feet in 4 hours - symptoms

    You will get zero decompression above 30 feet of depth, if the surface of water is at the sea level. You can stay at 15 feet for days at a time. Even with cold and circulation restricted, you are nowhere near 30 feet.

    Dive boat etiquette and buoyancy check

    Well, first dive is usually a wreck. A wreck is tied into. You can take all the extra weights, jump in, go down - a controlled sink holding a rope all the way down, then do your weight-in right where the rope ties into the wreck at the bottom. If you have any extra weights you don't want to use...
