I've been wanting to post about the trip I took to Misool for a while now- A group of four dive buddies traveled from Jacksonville, Fl to Sorong to catch a boat to Misool on October 12th. This is that adventure: Two of my dive buddies had traveled to Misool pre-Covid with their wives and liked...

Looking for the 34mm ring extension (gently used) for the 60mm OM macro lens.

Looking to get a compact/mirrorless camera mostly for macro. I plan to keep using my DJI Osmo for the wide angle. So basically I'm looking for a well-rounded camera but with biased towards macro. My research has pointed me towards the TD6 or the Olympus E-PL 9/10. I can start out with a TG6 in...

We originally planned to spend the entire weekend in Jupiter and Singer Island but the visibility was being reported as about 5-10ft Wednesday before we left. So we decided to switch to Key Largo for some calmer waters. Visibility in Key Largo was not great either with about 30-50ft depending...

Went this past Saturday for a 3 tank dive off of Jacksonville with Nautical Divers. I've never dove with them before, or off Jacksonville, so I wasn't sure what to expect going out. The boat (RV Explorer) was nicely equipped for diving and had plenty of shade and even some AC in the cabin. The...

Went down to Jupiter and Singer Island for some dives and to find some bugs for mini season a couple weeks ago- The water was hot! ~84-86F It was a bit sporty offshore, but the visibility was good. Earlier in the week we dove with Kyalami (my first time with them). Both Saturday and Sunday were...

I'm having a hard time finding anyone with experience with the "new" Space 5mm men's. What is the material, and how does it compare to the Komoda?

I was in my local dive shop yesterday and saw they had this particular suit on sale- It was one of the only ones they carried that had the zippers on both the ankles and wrists (they don't carry Waterproof)- It had a fair amount of the "seal skin" and seemed to be very stretchy. I also liked...

Titanium is nice and light and corrosion resistant, but it doesn't hold a very good edge due to its softness. On the other hand; stainless doesn't seem so stainless when it comes to ocean water exposure. Why doesn't anyone make a tungsten carbide knife? It's more shatter prone/brittle, but it...

I had the privilege to dive on the USNS Hoyt S. Vandenberg this past Saturday. The conditions were great with very little current. We were able to free descend/ascend and do a lot of exploring. Sunny day, about 80F Visibility was about 50-60ft and a nice 78.5F average temperature underwater...

When I picked up my regulator from service; they included a baggie with all the old parts. Most everything looked good with a tiny bit of dirt on the diaphragm and a couple small o-rings. Everything looked pretty good- I suppose they give you back your parts to prove they've been replaced, not...

If you get a "referral" from a brand new account on here to someone who is not on scubaboard; you should be weary. It's most likely a scam...

In Jacksonville, FL Looking to buy 2 HP100s or 2 LP85s. They do not need to be mirrored. Prefer pro valve but DIN ok

Two LP 95 tanks with fresh plus (+) Hydro (12/21). Looking to trade for LP 85's or sell for $225 each Jax, FL area. Thanks,

I've been slinging a 19cuft pony bottle whenever I've been doing deep or penetration dives. But I've found that with my sling kit the valve tends to hang pretty low and ends up banging on doorway thresholds, etc unless I cradle it while diving. Today I was able to get some pool time to try out...

I was fortunate enough to get a couple days off for a post labor day dive trip down to Singer Island. We of course hit the bridge, but we also did a shark dive and the tail end of the grouper aggregation. We dove 3 days (9/10-9/12) The bridge was great as usual with about 30 feet of visibility...

I'm very happy with my video and stills from my Osmo Action, but I'm finding it difficult to find a wet lens for macro. I noticed the waterproof case used by PolarPro for the switchblade, and my Osmo action case look almost identical. (See photos below). I was hoping someone might be able to...

The weather was beautiful and the visibility was excellent! Current was almost non-existent! We were down for the memorial day weekend where I got my AOW certification and then a few fun dives including a night dive after AOW. We went with Rainbow reef - which for our group was good, but billing...

I just got back from an amazing family vacation to Kauai for 12 nights. While things are opening up, we had some challenges, mostly with restaurants with our large group of 18. I planned three dive trips while I was there, One local reefs, one dusk/night dive at Koloa landing, and one big 3...
