    Go pro strap?!???!

    I wouldn’t try to shoot a shotgun underwater, shot gun shells are not water right and it wouldn’t work anyhow. But seriously you can look into the Gear Keeper. I clip one end to my HydrosPro and the other to my GoPro which is on a selfie stick. Having said that, during my last dives a few...

    Air consumption vs regulator ease of breathing

    I set my C370 to max resistance, it’s not at all hard to breathe on that setting, it just requires a bit more effort. During my deep cert dives and this past weekend we used ponies and I didn’t like their refs because it was too easy to breathe with.

    Does constipation increase buoyancy?

    My soon to be wife was telling me to take a laxative but like you I was afraid to.

    Does constipation increase buoyancy?

    I thought I successfully posted this yesterday, hopefully an admin didn’t take it down thinking I was trolling….. I was way too buoyant this weekend and I’m wondering if being really constipated had something to do with it. I’ve been diving with 8lbs forever at my current body weight and...

    DSMB Technique

    For some reason I'm unable to inflate my dsmb with an octo, and it's pretty big so I don't manually inflate. I just use the inflator hose.

    Sold On Nitrox

    For those that say that part of this effect is due to perhaps being a better diver and being more efficient I gotta say that this weekend’s dives were more strenuous than normal dives. The first day was boat dives (2) but the next 2 days were 5 dives and all of them involved long surface swims...

    Has anyone seen or used the new Scubapro Hydros Pro BCD

    I lost a weight pocket yesterday (not while diving), damn those replacements are expensive. Luckily a DM sold me one had found a while back for $25.

    Sold On Nitrox

    Water temps here are always 82-84F, being cold is not a thing for me.

    Sold On Nitrox

    I just did my Nitrox cert (for which the DS included two dives) and I'm sold on this. Did two dives yesterday, 3 shore dives with long surface swims today and I feel great. No hunder and not at all sleepy. I know this is not one of the advanatges of the gas listed in the learning materials...

    Wrist Mount for Sling Spear

    I followed your advice and here's a shot I took with it mounted on my firing hand. Worked great and I might ditch my selfie stick for this. Only thing I didnt like is that it got entangled in my regs when taking off my gear in the water against the rocks in a rough shore exit.

    I made it to Master Diver!

    It doesn’t say that 98%, it says that 98% don’t have that certification.

    I’m going to be trying out a hand mount for the first time on Labor Day weekend when I go lionfish hunting.

    Trip Report Isla Providencia - Island Paradise of Colombia

    I was there in January I believe and dove again with Sonny’s. I did my AOW w/Sonny a few years ago and really liked them because there were great dive sites and he didn’t feed the sharks. This last time I didn’t enjoy them though, it seemed like he went to the same places. I also didn’t like...

    Trip Report Colombia Caribbean side (Santa Marta and Cartagena areas)

    I don’t think there’s a better DC than DivingPlanet in Cartagena( I have dived with 4 different ones there). You hit the nail on the head about Taganga, good coral but not much interesting sea life. I got my OW with Tayrona Dive Center which is Poseidon’ neighbor. Taganga was over run with...
