    Old air in tanks.

    Have not dove for awhile. Last fill of tanks was in August 2015, nitrox. Who would still feel safe diving this air??? Better judgement says to get a vis and refill.

    New diver w daughters - grand cayman advice

    Red Sail Sports runs Tortuga Divers at Morritts but also has a dive op at Rum Point. Ocean Frontiers is good also, but if a dive op is at Rum Point, it sure beats having to drive the extra miles. rumpoint@redsailcayman.com

    I think the competition to be the best travel BC just got a lot tougher!

    I checked out the Zeagle site and cannot find the Zeagle Wicked Lite. Would like to see a picture price etc.

    Need Dive locations in western VA to Avoid family

    Seventeen people in one house. Holy Moly. Rawlings does have camping facilities and cabins to rent for a day or two. Wednesdays used to be half price day also. Even though it is a 2.5 hour drive, if you get two days of diving in, it would be worth the drive. There is also an inexpensive...

    100th dive

    I started out hot to trot. I was ready, man. Nothing was going to stop me. Well...I finally hit 100 in 2008, thirteen years later.

    Flying jellyfish?

    Me thinks it was the fun-loving rascal DM in the water trying to hit his buddy on board who was standing close to me. A lousy shot (maybe not, he got right on the side of my face).

    Flying jellyfish?

    This was a new one on me. Sitting in the boat, geared up waiting on the DM on board to give the word to go (the other DM had just surfaced from tying off the line to the wreck), and I get smacked in the face by a jellyfish. How can a jellyfish take off from the water?

    toothpaste on new mask

    and, I have been using "softscrub" kitchen cleaner. It seems to work better on my last purchase than toothpaste.

    toothpaste on new mask

    I believe the mask has a thin protective film applied by the manufacturer to protect the lens during shipping and while sitting in the store on display. So I've been told.

    First time NC visitor questions

    There are many posts on Myrtle Beach Diving. South of Myrtle Beach you should check out Express Water Sports. There are really some nice in shore diving sites. North of Myrtle Beach, check out Coastal Scuba, another good opportunity. If I were staying in the MB area, I would spend...

    Saturday After Thanksgiving Dive and Picnic @ Blue Heron Bridge

    If you were running over the bridge from Singer Island, is there a dive shop off to the left somewhere, and a Treasury Drug not far from where you get off the bridge? (Like maybe ten years ago). I don't remember it being real seedy area at the time, but things change.

    Mustache causing a slow leak in mask...

    I used a non-purge mask for ten years before I dropped and shattered the lens. I always had a slight leak if I did not trim the 'stache and use chap stick. I purchased a purge mask and for me this solved the problem, or at least it is easier to get rid of the leakeage. Don't know how long the...

    Suits for 5'-7" 160 lb. diver

    I have purchased three Bare wetsuits through Liesure Pro, medium large/short. All three fit fine. The 5/4(heaviest of the three) is a little tight. My stats are pretty much the same, 5'7" between 155 and 160, chest 40, waist 34. Sometimes it's just hit and miss. Liesure Pro has a good...

    Is the inside of your home's garage painted?

    The painting contractor told me he would have garage painted before we moved in. It would give the house a nice touch. That was in March of 1989....maybe he will show up this weekend.

    Do you believe in ghosts?

    I bought an old house in Surry VA in 2002. The original house was built circa 1890 with an addition put on circa 1930. My wife and I restored the interior. it was quite nice. I moved my office from downtown Williamsburg over the James to Surry and worked over there. My wife died in 2004. I...

    I am on my way from Williamsburg VA. Don't wait on me, but I will be there sometime. The last three times I have tried Venice Beach turned up nothing, as I did not know what I was doing. I need some help. Thanks in advance. Skip

    Giant Stride with Fins or Not

    I dropped in once wtihout the fins, only because I had failed to put them on or even take them with me. I hit the water pretty hard and almost lost my mask. Now, I had to swim back to the boat to retrieve them, pretty hard without fins. Luckily the DM realized what I had done, and threw them...
