That makes cents.

Ok 300-450 yards swim out to the furthest reef. Final answer! I'll admit I've never done it- I've only dived the reefs and wreck from boats, never saw any reason to go to the effort of getting there from shore, the information I got was from the same or similar sources quoted above, and I've...

I'm sorry, it's probably closer to 200 yards or more to the outer reef which is a better dive than the reefs close to shore.

I bet the "internet effect" has played a role in the closure. In my local area several local dive shops have closed over the years- having lost a good chunk of their sales to the online retailers with whom bread and mortar local business cannot hope to compete with. Those divers who find...

I didn't miss anything, I am not confirming nor denying the impact of global warming. I was simply focusing on the mistake made by the living legend and the perpetuation of the myth that melting icebergs significantly contribute to flooding. I think the estimate is something like .03 mm per...

There's only 2 shore dives in SE Florida that might be worth a tank fill and that's Lauderdale by the Sea (LBS) ust off Fort Lauderdale and Blue Heron Bridge in West Palm. Having dived both I can tell you that LBS is hardly worth the long swimout which can take a 1/2 hr or more, sometimes...

Good to hear. I do wonder why he hasn't responded to FB posts about this, including the one about the $700 unused trip vouchers. It also should have been added to their going out of business announcement. Something to the effect of "please stop by the shop for a full refund of unused airfill...

Sigh... The presenter said "Sea levels are rising drastically from pieces of ice that break off of icebergs". She did NOT say "when ice breaks off of glaciers or other land based ice from which icebergs are originally derived". Not sure why there are some posters on this thread who are having...

I wonder how good he is. On the FaceBook thread announcing the closure on the PDC page, several responders have stated they've got unused air fill cards and one poster said he's got $700 in unused trip tickets. Is Jeremy going to refund those divers for what they paid for those soon to be...

It's worded a bit poorly for sure. I wonder if that's all there is to it. Probably not. I mean, if it's all about the rent, why not do something along the lines of what Miss Conduct Charters do, and run the boat out of a slip somewhere else without a retail store and have a designated pickup...

Again, there are no other types of icebergs than those that float on the water.

Again, during the lecture it was stated that when icebergs melt and pieces break off, sea levels will rise significantly and there will be major flooding. Had the presenter correctly referred to glaciers or land based ice I would not have started this thread.

No, they are clearly blaming the Sands Harbor Marina ownership.

The living legend specifically mentioned ICEBERGS, which by definition, float in seawater.

Since icebergs float, as they melt they don't sit as deep in the water and they don't displace as much water. So as the iceberg melts, and when pieces break off, the balance is maintained and nothing changes. However at the LIDA Film Festival tonight, living legend, environmentalist and...

Just because you do it doesn't mean the rest of us do it. I don't. My computer is set for 1.6, for good reason.

That's not how it works around here. Typically @DandyDon is the first one to post a thread about a diving accident. How he is almost invariably the first to post on such matters defies explanation other than (and I will speculate) that he obsessively scours the internet all day long for...

I'd rather get another 15-20 minutes of diving and wait on the surface for a bit. When I first dived in Cozumel in 2010 I had no clue about deploying from depth, now it's second nature. It's a skill every diver should have. A distant second is ascending slowly when you're within boat...

That has not been my experience, most divers carry SMBs in Cozumel and in most locations where there is drift diving, they are required. Certainly if a dive buddy pair intends to surface away from the group they will need at least one, preferably one that is deployed from depth in areas where...

The kid's dad shared air with him but it didn't prolong the dive much.
