    Tethering Policy?

    Our Police Dive Team is undergoing some changes at the request of our Command, the main change being that they want us to be tethered full time. We currently do not dive tethered under most circumstances; usually we are always holding some sort of jack stay or up line but not hard attached. I'm...

    Looking to go in Feb

    Hi everybody! We are looking to come back to Coz this spring, maybe sometime in March. I was wondering when the best time is to avoid any Spring Breakers. I know Coz is not a big destination, and we always fly direct to CZM, but am trying to avoid jacked up Spring Break airfare. Thanks!

    What type of signaling device?

    I am looking at signaling devices for my trip to Coz, and am trying to figure some things out. What type of "safety sausage" is recommended, and what color? I did a search and could not find what I was looking for (then again, my computer skills are not the best :11doh:) Thanks

    Zeagle Product Registration

    Scott (or Zeagle folks) I registered by Brigade via the Zeagle website as suggested. As the Brigade is a Scubatoys special, and there is not a listing on the product list, I clicked on the listing for the Ranger (I figured 'cause of the harness). When filling out where I purchased it, I...

    Forgot to mention...

    If you go to Coz, you MUST see Sally for a relaxing massage. I forgot to mention that in my trip report and feel bad. Both my wife and I fell asleep on the table by the end. It made an incredible trip even better. Thanks Sally! We will be back again on our next trip to the island.:D

    Simple tank rack for a pickup?

    I am wondering if anyone has a good suggestion for transporting tanks (probably four at the most) in the back of a pick up truck. Mostly transporting local, but some two hour trips to the coast. Thanks.
