Divers Hoping to Solve Cold Cases Find 30 Cars in Florida Lake (link should work without subscription) "Volunteer divers looking over the weekend for underwater vehicles in South Florida in an effort to solve missing persons cases found something unexpected: roughly 30 cars submerged under a...

Is it possible to put a URL address inside a URL? I'm trying to display the actual URL because, in this case, I'm making a point that the service manual is actually available from the manufacturer. This is what I want to do, https://www.deep6gear.com/service-manual but what I get is: Service...

Going diving in a couple of days. Can someone tell me how to get the Tech Lite firmware upgrade on my Excursion? Is it still through the Dive Story app? Is it even out? I've got an Android phone if it matters.

Following @SlugMug's suggestion, could we please have a sarcasm font? I think most sites just use a monospaced font like Courier New, but a Comic Sans lookalike would also work.

I'd like to put together a list of backplates specifically designed for single tank rigs. Obviously a standard (i.e. doubles) plate will work, but from personal experience a plate optimized for single tank is less bulky in a suitcase, more streamlined underwater, and less tippy with larger...

Not sure whether this should go here or on the Post Your Pretty Funny Stuff thread. But someone is trying to sell a FFM made by literally zip-typing a reg to the snorkel tube of a full face snorkel mask. Bids start at a low, low $149.99 - Mares MR42 Proton Metal With Diving Mask and camera...

I'll be in Cancun with my family from April 8-15 and was hoping to find some suggestions about the area. And no, this wasn't my first choice and I can't change the location, my Mom gave us a week at the Westin Lagunamar (at Km 12.5 near the Aquarium and La Isla Cancun Shopping Village). We...

The sound of recovery: Coral reef restoration success is detectable in the soundscape Researchers were interested in whether they could use sound recordings of reef life to differentiate between healthy reefs, reefs destroyed by dynamite fishing, and dynamited reefs that were the subject of...

Anyone need an incredibly cool dive vehicle? Auction runs for 6 more days. No reserve. No Reserve: 1969 Dodge A100 Fire & Rescue Van

I bought a new old stock HydroOptix mask for my wife. She doesn't need the corrective lens they include for above water use, so if anyone needs it, you can have it for the cost of shipping. Included are the lens and the holder it clips into so you can carry it underwater.

Is there an agreed on classification of scuba generations? If not, let's make one up now. The Pioneer Divers were those who began after the public introduction of SCUBA after WWII until late 1958, when Sea Hunt went on the air, followed shortly after by the commercial availability of neoprene...

@Zef and I have been working on collecting Mares service manuals so we can make them available to anyone interested in these regulators. Zef made a spreadsheet of what info is found in what manual. Starting with the spreadsheet, I created the following mini-website: Mares Regulator Service...

I've been curious about Force Fins for a long time, but not to the point of paying $290 for a new pair. However, when a pair of used Pros with bungees showed up in the classifieds here, I jumped on them. Note that the person I bought them from did a field fix on the bungee retainer. He sent...

Seen in the shallows at Blue Heron Bridge on Christmas Eve. It's around 1.5 ft/.5m long. Also there's a 2 second video of it moving at https://photos.app.goo.gl/BhZXbpew2xPHdLo79

I am assisting @Zef in putting together a master file of Mares regulator service manuals and tech bulletins. We have basically everything from the MR12 III to the MR52. But we are missing manuals from most of the last decade. For the manuals, we have 1998 through 2010, 2012, 2016 (German...

Looking for a couple of metal Proton seconds (not the plastic-bodied version). I bought a set here last year for myself last year (thanks@TN Traveler) and really like them. Now I'm putting together the kit for my son's upcoming cert class and want to give him the same thing.

Of course it's not 100% consistent, but all things considered, I'd call it more than fit for purpose. Thanks mods.

My almost 12-year-old son is very excited about SCUBA. We will be in Boynton Beach, FL from Dec. 22 through Jan 2 and I'd like him to get his Junior Open Water certification. If anyone can recommend an instructor, I would appreciate it. Agency doesn't matter as long as they don't teach on...
