Yes. Thanks for asking.

SeaQuest Pro QD - Used by me. Rinsed and dried well and stored indoors. Some bronzing of tank strap and lining materials (see photo), primarily due to chlorine during pool use for instruction. There is a repair of a tear at a knife scabbard grommet using a small patch of heavy nylon (see...

Pre-owned, lightly used, in very good condition. With spring straps. PayPal.

Previously owned by the not-so enthusiastic wife of a PADI instructor. Both have gotten out of scuba and have moved on to other challenges. Light wear, some pilling of the material from the velcro cummberbund of a BCD. White panel with "Henderson Divewear" on the upper chest. Pink floral...

Still learning and improving with the GoPro. Sometimes using Flip filters, sometimes supplemental iTorch lighting.

Great shots of small stuff. What sort of macro attachment did you use and are you satisfied with its performance?

One of our group used the Sealife Aquapod on a recent trip to CocoView, Roatan. It makes the critters much less "gun shy" than coming at them with a face full of camera and bubbles. He got some good shots by angling the Gopro backwards on the pole and getting behind a seahorse with the water...

There are plenty of scuba coroners, though.

Smoking + Nitrox + Gasoline or Diesel sure seems like a bad idea to me. Usually I am able to sufficiently stay away from smokers on a dive boat. The only time I have been personally bothered by it was when I was sea sick and the smell of exhaust fumes and cigar smoke badly added to my nausea...

Max depth is 50 ft at Martha's (o.k. maybe a teeny bit more in some places) and if you are down at 50 ft you will appreciate the dry suits. I guess the main thing to see at 50 ft is the full size bus at the west side of the quarry. Good for wreck training and so are the submerged quarry...

For an area that is hours away from salt water, there are a lot of dive shops in the area! They can help link you up with dive buddies. I especially like Island Hoppers Scuba in the Nashville/ 100 Oaks area. I'd be happy to show you folks around the underwater world of Martha's some time...

I've not heard any comments about the quarry yet this year. Operation is seasonal and usually weekends only. Fred Massie (Saigon Fred) monitors these boards and is the operator of the quarry. If you have facebook you can message him and get the info straight from the horse's mouth. He's Fred...

Sorry to hear about it. Condolences to his family and friends.

I was out there a couple of weeks ago and was roasting in a 5/4 fullsuit when shallower than about 23 feet. I'm going out there to assist with an O/W class this next weekend and will only wear a 3. And a thin hooded vest to protect my head ridges from sunburn while on the surface.

The quarry you are thinking about was right next to I-40 and Hwy 109. Small in size. When 109 was extended and the exit modified, I believe it was totally eliminated. I had heard there were some cars in there, but we used to go there shooting. In hindsight it seemed like a dangerous place...

Fred will cheerfully sell you a pass right there at the quarry. But you can get a pass cheaper if you frequent one of the shops in the area that use Fred's facility. I know Island Hoppers Scuba in Nashville has them and I bet you Bluewater (formerly Middle Tennessee Scuba and Swim) still has...

I don't think Martha's typically has weekday hours. Fred, or Saigonfred here, that operates the quarry is out of commission with a nasty spider bite, but I bet he'll get back to you when he's better.

Recalling the rough seas during that period as mentioned in my previous post, unquestionably the most dangerous part of diving during that period (I was a Largo) would have been on the surface and returning to the boat. Many of the dive operators were not going out during this time. The day...

Plenty of saliva is a good thing, but too much and you look like someone that is institutionalized -- drooling on themselves. Hey, but you know what ? I might actually help that dry mouth all of us can get from breathing that dry air when diving. And removing my professional hat and...

As a dentist I can't perceive it having effects on the diving but they have great potential for causing loss of the gum tissue where the inside of the stud would come in contact. From the American Dental Association web site: Possible adverse outcomes secondary to oral piercing include...
