Life is so much better under water :)

Great pics BoltSnap and congratulations on the prestigious win :). Sounds like a great trip.

For sure. I remember that Hassan was great and a genuinely nice and helpful guy and great guide. Glad to pass along the number to anyone that might be heading to Zanzibar. Great report and I too had no idea about the beach based ‘spice’ trade. Haha.

Golden Coral Shrimp Takes On Arrow Crab at the Bridge! Fortunately, that dwarf sand perch stepped in to break it up before anyone got badly hurt!

All seems to be open from what I can tell ... although we saw 'improvements coming' signs last week. I think they may be redoing the small kiddie area perhaps. So back to normal in most regards. get there early for parking, esp on weekends or holidays

Of course, all assumes your incoming is on time ;) The joys of travel. I'd still not risk it myself.

We connected CBRC to Miami through Grand Cayman recently and it was a mess. There were unmanned kiosks for customs but no instructions. Everyone was seemingly herded out to exit and then re enter secure zone. At least our bags were checked through but it was still almost an hour. I’d also...

Living the dream. Looking to this thread for inspiration A couple of semi-old but feeling-young divers here that are hoping to stay around south Florida for a bit and continue to dive the many nice local sites. Perhaps one day venture further afield, no doubt the cost of living and quality...

Depending on the tide table, you might consider the Blue Heron Bridge. https://idiveflorida.com/BlueHeronBridgeTideTableChart.php You could also head further south for Key Largo to dive the Spiegel Grove but might be a challenge if too deep/ or happen to have current for your buddy. Lots of...

Always something to learn, don't always need a piece of paper or a card to prove it .. haha :wink: We did our MSD a while back and don't plan to go the 'professional track'. This was mostly just because the dive shop offered a good 'special' along with some dive gear. The course we got the...

Some recent news said they had not identified any toxins but the fish stopped when put in clean water. https://abcnews.go.com/US/scientists-baffled-hundreds-fish-spinning-whirling-dead-south/story?id=108655356 The Florida Department of Environmental Protection conducted a lot of analyses...

We've also had trouble getting used to the buoyancy of the 5mm. Had to add 4 more pounds and even then it feels like I may need to get ankle weights despite my heavy tech fins! Big (and loyal) Henderson fans, will keep these for the coldest of our Florida winters haha.

And then you STILL have to wash all the gear ... :(

That could well explain it. We did a 5 minute dive today and just gave up. Green and 5ft at most. Froth around the west side looked ominous too. Kinda saw the bottom looking over the fishing pier so we thought we’d try but once in we didn’t see the point (didn’t see much of anything).

Your report makes us want to go back again ... we also loved that easy access house reef :)

nice meeting everyone this morning. Great conversation and a great breakfast For Pete: Nat said you were contemplating a GoPro. We saw that Force-E scuba has the GoPro12 at their booth and they are throwing in a dive case as a show special. FYI, they are in the 200 or 300 row.

Hahaha. I think we’re gonna take a separate table. But seriously. Who’s name is the reservation under :)? Scubaboard?

We will be there :) I'll wear my white DRYFOB hat .. haha

Let us know too if there is a lunch plan or something. 9:30 breakfast could work, lunch could work, racing to the Piranah booth for goodies can work. We're at the Marriott which I think is close by.

Not holding my breath ... hahaha Nathalie and I will also be there for at least the Saturday. We're in from out of town and staying next to the center (so won't be much help with carpooling). I think she has some video/photo presentations already lined up. Would be fun to meet some more...
