    2nd Covid vaccine several days before PCR tests, false positive risk?

    Hey all! In about a month, my girlfriend and I are scheduled on our first liveaboard to the Turks and Caicos (Aggressor). I just got my first round of the Moderna Covid vaccine on April 28th and am due for the second shot on May 28th. Turks and Caicos requires a PCR test no more than 5 days...

    What are your favorite easy wreck dives?

    Two wrecks come to mind for me in Florida, the Benwood in Key Largo, and the Okinawa in Pompano Beach. The Benwood is a true wreck from WW2, about 40 ft to the sand, and FULL of life. Always see large schools of fish, eels, nurse sharks, etc. Not really any safe swim through opportunities on...

    New USA cdc requirements

    I just saw this new CDC guideline today. We already had to postpone our liveaboard to Turks and Caicos once. Return flight is the same day we get off the boat.. Ridiculous!!

    Aqualung Wireless / Shearwater compatable?

    I have firsthand experience with this. I had an Aqualung transmitter/computer for about 2 years. The transmitter battery finally gave me a “low battery” alarm on the last dive of a trip I was on. Changed the battery at my house and went on the next trip. About 45 mins in on my safety stop, lost...

    Fast equalizing and negative entry

    Yes, Toynbee also works, I just prefer the the pinch and blow. Could never do a Frenzel or wiggle my jaw around like some can to clear. My tubes are stubborn

    Fast equalizing and negative entry

    Lots of good information here already. As I have gotten in to tech diving on wrecks, negative entries, or “hot drops”, are the norm since in Florida we are always dealing with current from the Gulf Stream. All bodies are not equal, and even ears are not equal for some like me. My left ear...

    Hydro Atlantic 11-28-20

    Hey Winfield, They let six max divers on this boat, Safari Diver, which complies with Covid spacing requirements. I am not sure on run time limitations, we ran 67 mins no problem and the other two divers went 80. I think they had earlier that morning some rebreather guys who ran 100. It’s a two...

    Hydro Atlantic 11-28-20

    Hi all, Yesterday afternoon I had an awesome first dive on the Hydro with my buddy. South Florida Dive HQ was the operator and they did a great job for us. Conditions above and below the water were very nice with 79 degrees on the bottom and about 60 ft of viz. Highlights of the dive for me...

    Your most expensive dive

    Mine was in Jupiter, FL, in January earlier this year for a lemon shark dive with Jupiter Dive Center. I had changed out my transmitters battery the night before knowing that on my last dive, I was getting a low battery warning. Made it all the way through our awesome dive at Lemon Drop (love...

    Turks and Caicos Update

    @O-ring Just an update from us on our trip. It took forever, but we were able to finally get a couple of vouchers for re-booking purposes, phew. I went back and forth for weeks with Liveaboard.com and all they could keep telling me is we haven't heard from the operator yet, haven't heard back...

    Turks and Caicos Update

    Five days is an improvement, but depending on where you live it's still not realistic. I'm down here in Florida and Covid is going bonkers here making it very difficult to get a test done for somebody who isn't even showing any symptoms at all. And just to be clear, the test has to be performed...
