    Question How to communicate with a panicked diver?

    This wasn't an outright "panic," it was the onset of panic. He was probably a minute away from becoming fully panicked. I had a GoPro on my head at the time; watching it back, the entire interaction was ~15 seconds. Curious you mentioned eye contact, I didn't notice how hard he was locked onto...

    Question How to communicate with a panicked diver?

    Guess I really need to go take a Rescue course... I didn't think I'd come across something this quickly 0_0 I'm just thankful everyone made it back to the boat in one piece.

    Question How to communicate with a panicked diver?

    Anything really, although I'm not 100% sure they had the time to process me signaling "are you ok."

    Question How to communicate with a panicked diver?

    I recently joined a buddy (and his cousin) on a charter out of Jupiter, and on the second dive I noticed a diver following us looking a bit panicked. I hung back from my group and kept an eye on him briefly, until I noticed there were way too many bubbles coming from him (at which point I swam...

    Looking for South Florida Buddies

    A buddy (stopped diving recently) was showing me some sites down in West Palm such as Ocean Reef Park. I've also done BHB several times if I can get parking. I've looked at Zentacle, and I know there are tons of other places up and down the treasure coast.

    Looking for South Florida Buddies

    My New Year's resolution is to get back in the water again, and I'm looking for buddies along the Treasure Coast and down towards Riviera/Pompano. For now I enjoy shore/beach diving (everything costs more these days 0_0), but I'm always up for an occasional boat dive. I'm certified up to Deep...

    Question Why are diving-rated gloves usually dark colors?

    A buddy was messing with me saying black gloves on a black suit makes hand signals impossible to see at depth, and it got me thinking: why aren't vibrant glove colors more common (tropical diving, not diving dry)?

    Do You Dive With GPS?

    I'm keeping an eye on Garmin rn, they seem to be innovating quite a lot. I'm happy with my Peregrine and don't intend to replace it anyways lol

    Do You Dive With GPS?

    The Descent would be more appealing if it was half it's cost :P

    Do You Dive With GPS?

    I was skimming Facebook and saw a post about a boat capsize, and the captain mentioned that if he had the gps coords of the crash site, he could attempt recovery dives to find lost equipment. It got me thinking; nowadays it seems like all of the new "smartwatch/diving computers" boast GPS...

    What Kind of Gear Do You Keep Duplicates/Extras Of?

    I thought the point of SDI Solo was to teach you how to cover your own bases. I didn't think it literally meant Solo.

    Did I Get "Salesman'd" or Are These Decent Base Gear Picks?

    I bought a Z3 and a Z2 octo last year. I'm super happy with it, they breathe like on the surface even at 70ft down. I do not regret the cost at all whatsoever, I certed with Mares and Zeagle and both were not good at all. I was sucking air hard out of the Mares even after the shop mucked around...

    Did I Get "Salesman'd" or Are These Decent Base Gear Picks?

    Luckily, I've got Atomic and the shop down south I plan to "swap bases to" sells Zeagle and Atomic on their website. I know they all do those "brand deals" where they are contracted (however it works) to only sell x, y, and z brand stuff.
