    Look what came in the mail!

    Thanks guys, I work 6-7 12's so I can only dive so often. Thus gear should fit me just fine until I move to the Caymans. But as for fin choice, I had some slip on before that pair so I thought I would give the split fins a shot. I'll get the specs on everything and post them when I get back to...

    Buying a boat and looking for help on sites!

    Thanks for the advice buddy. This will be my first boat owned. Yet, I know this boat has a few things that needs repaired and I know this isn't a boat forum, so I will not go into that. Now this boat does come equipped with this nice monitor and had a big round GPS thing on top of the canapy...

    How does free diving work?

    Okay, so I spent 2-4 hours last night watching these spear fishing videos on youtube from one particular account. Not a single person spear fishing was using a tank to breath. These guys were diving 40+ Feet and laying on the reef or in weeds just waiting on fish. These guys have to be holding...

    Deaf After Snorkeling

    That is very odd! I have not heard of anything like this. It does remind me of when I had a gun go off by my ear and I had that same ringing for several days. I thought I lost my hearing. About 3-4 days later, it started coming back. By the end of the week I had a full recovery. Best wishes to you!

    New diver! Need help please!

    Thanks Richard for the input! I overheard the instructor selling a whole setup to a customer and he was telling him that, I don't recall the brand name, if this product ever breaks that the company will replace the parts for free. Only charge would be the labor. He had a regulator setup in his...
