    Does diving while on period attract sharks?

    Sharks know better than to mess with a woman during that time of the month! :) Sorry, couldn't resist, I'll show myself out . . .

    Panama City Beach Diving

    Lots of good dives down there -- the bridge spans, and we've had good dives on the Black Bart and the Strength. You may want to use the Report link and ask a moderator to move this discussion to the Florida sub-forum: https://scubaboard.com/community/forums/florida.55/ moved to Florida forum

    Mares Puck 4 runs Buhlmann with GF

    Hi @scubadada , I'm using the Shearwater pre-defined Low conservatism, so GF high of 95 for me also. I found that the Perdix's default Medium setting was more conservative than my Puck's Low setting.

    Mares Puck 4 runs Buhlmann with GF

    I find that my either my Puck Pro or my Puck Pro+, when set to least conservative setting, is a fine back-up computer to my Perdix 2 -- no significant differences in NDL times for my recreational dive profiles in Cozumel, SE Florida, etc. My first thought seeing that the Puck 4 is out is that...

    Shearwater Tern and Tern TX

    Not sure what kind of diving you do, but to me the Tern TX having a built-in compass would be a pretty big advantage of the Luna (which has no compass) -- I really like the compass on my Perdix 2. Especially nice if you're on a night dive and having to tow a flag float while aiming a light...

    Suggestion Bad Behavior By Liveaboards

    In keeping with the "positive as well as negative" I'll say that the only liveaboard that I've been on was an Allstar -- Blackbeard's, their least expensive option. They ran a great operation and did us right when weather added a bit of difficulty to our schedule. Would definitely do a...

    St. Croix dive buddies 4/8 - 4/12/24?

    We actually enjoyed shore dives in St. Croix more than the boat dives that we did. We had guided tours with Jeff Dykstra (now with Adventures in Diving STX) who also has some great STX diving video's on his Triton's Realm YouTube channel. We did guided day and night dives in Cane Bay, a day...

    My dive computer is too conservative, what can I do ?

    I think it depends on the computer -- some come pre-set to the most conservative setting. For example, the Mares Puck Pros that my son and I have came from the factory set to the most conservative setting, and after realizing that our NDL times were short, we changed settings and eventually...

    Question Cozumel Dive Shop for Group Wanting to be Certified

    ScubaJuan has a location at the bottom of Hotel Barracuda, where I believe most boats depart and classes meet, and definitely their guided shore dives go from there. Can't speak to much of the other questions -- only boat dives we did were part of a class, so all pricing was lumped together...

    Spring Fin Straps for Mares Quattro Avanti Fins

    Anyone know if the spring straps are much heavier than the stock bungees, and if so about how much? Seems I'm always pushing the weight limit on my checked scuba suitcase, especially when things are still a bit damp coming home, so every bit counts.

    Hotel Cozumel or Casa Mexicana

    What dive op are you using? Sometimes the dive op I use (Tres Pelicanos) put a package deal with Casa Mexicana, Wyndham/Hotel Coz, Suites Colonial (which has continental breakfast), and others -- even if the hotel shows as sold out online. I don't recall seeing Casa Mexicana rates that high...

    Traveling on a budget

    I'm sorry you had a bad experience on your last trip in Cozumel, and you are certainly entitled to your perspective. But having read your trip report, I must respectfully say that it sounds like your trip was not planned to best meet your needs (and you also had the misfortune of going when...
