    One dead at Cow Springs - Live Oak, FL

    True, but how do we know the DSV was checked number of times before that dive, or before previous dives post truck incident?

    One dead at Cow Springs - Live Oak, FL

    Cardiac Discussion split from Diver missing from Vandenberg Wreck in Key West

    Diving Bermuda

    Depends on your cold tolerance. I dove here with vacationers who had only swimming shorts in January… I would say 5mm is better choice but make sure they have your size as if it is too big, well, it will not give you that much protection. I would take my 2-3mm that fits well and put something...
