    Long Deco's - How do you pass the time?

    Aqua flood does an aftermarket conversion of the tiny iPod (nano?), making it waterproof to, they claim 200' I believe. I have one and use it occasionally but i leave it at the O2 bottle drop and pick it up on return. "Dark Side Of The Moon" is my preferred deco music, but Kelly's suggestion...

    Assorted US Divers Regulator Sets

    I have 5 sets of US Divers regulators for sale. These are an assortment of Conshelfs and SE IIs. They are all in working order however, they all need to be rebuilt before use. Also have some extra parts and pieces as well. I used these for my OW instruction business but I am out of that...

    3 BCD's

    I have 3 BCD's for sale. These would make an inexpensive assortment for ant independent instructors out there looking for gear. I am out of the OW instruction business and need to reclaim some of my garage. One is a well used but serviceable Sherwood Silhouette and the other two are barely...

    Innovation in diving

    ....or he made the dive only in his imagination, the same place any and all of his certs reside. This troll isn't a diver of any type. Sent from behind a pint of Guinness.

    Deaths at Eagles Nest - Homosassa FL

    I beg to differ. I have dived there many times with 30' of viz. At the debris cone with 30' viz, no ambient light. At all. With cloud cover, it's worse. EN should be for full cave with Hypoxic trimix certs and no one else. Ad infinitum, ad nauseum, falls on deaf ears, etc.... Sent from...

    Best brand Micro SD?

    If you go to GoPro's website, they have a list by make and model of preferred cards. Sent from behind a pint of Guinness.

    Drysuit Diving

    You're over thinking it man. I've been dry suit diving a long time with no formal training. So, as to your issues from my POV: Regarding waxing the zip, I do it every half dozen dives or so. Never been a problem. The metal ones will need periodic replacement though. It's a fact of life...

    GoPro Tray mount with lighting options - $15

    Nice. I assume it is sealed? I'd be curious to know what the buoyancy characteristics are. I have a store bought tray mount and my only complaint is that it is negative. A neutrally buoyant mount would be ideal I think. Please post again after you try it out and let us know how it works...

    NAUI Master Diver vs NAUi Divemaster

    Unless something has changed, this isn't entirely correct. And I confess I haven't looked recently. But in the past, NAUI DM candidates who didn't have the Master Diver cert could be allowed in providing they pass the Master Diver written exam, provided they met all other eligibility criteria...

    I dunno, top dog in a mediocre conference isn't much. I'm not sure why we're discussing Big 10 in a football thread anyway. ;) Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

    2013 SEC Football Discussion Thread

    Looks to me like a repeat of his FL tenure - he did well with his predecessors recruits. Can he do it on his own? He couldn't down here and quit for "health" reasons. Riggghhhtttt.... Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

    This reads sort of like a toy poodle taunting a pit bull that is chained up behind a fence. Easy to sound big, but god help him if the pit bull gets loose. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

    pilot whales stranded in Florida's Everglades park

    This seems to be a regular Keys event. A few years ago, a bunch of pilot whales beached at Cudjoe Key. Several were transported to the marine mammal rescue facility in Key Largo. While there on vacation, my son and I did a couple of shifts in the water with them, holding them up so they could...

    Editing Software

    This is the only suggestion that makes sense. As a long suffering PC user, I recently got my first Mac. I won't be going back to a PC clunker.:p. IMovie works very well for me, very intuitive and easy to use. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2

    Rule of Thirds & Shallow Rec diving

    I teach floating in line on the surface is done with a snorkel in your mouth. The regulator is for underwater. A slight leaking BC can be manually inflated. A catastrophically leaking BC should result in ditching weight and the other folks on the line getting out of your way. These are...

    Australian Spearfisherman Attacked By Speared Barracuda Yesterday

    The whole charging thing I referred to earlier was more a result of the wounded fish running to the end of the tether and turning around to go the other way. I just happened to be on the other end of the tether, and consequently in his way. I don't believe he was after me personally. The...

    Diving moored sites from shore

    Absolutely no reason you can't or shouldn't. I will swim to the site on surface breathing through my snorkel and towing a flag. Once on site, just tie off your flag to the moor. Obviously this can be risky depending upon boat traffic, sea state, currents, etc... Plan accordingly and use...
