These Lionfish were killed on my dive trip to Belize in October.
The guy cleaning them actually got stuck by one of the spines as he was cleaning them. He wasn't too happy about that!
The only other time I got sick was on a boat in St. Maarten. My daughter had a can of coke, she drank about 2/3's of it and set it down. The waves were splashing over the sides of the boat and saltwater got into the can of coke. Right before we got to the 2nd dive site I took a huge swig and...
I just got back from a cruise and did a shore dive on Cocoa Cay. There were no "accidents" or injuries, and everything ended up ok, but I learned a valuable lesson.
The dive started from the shore. We geared up and waded out into the water and checked our buoyancy. The plan was for a wave...
My first set of fins were split fins (recommended by the LDS) I really had no problems with them until I wanted to learn to maneuver better. I had difficulty frog kicking with them. I practiced a lot in my pool at home, and found that i was having some difficulty with trying to make small...
My daughter and I dove Blue Springs in Orange City Fl. on 4-1-08.

The fee was $10.65. (Thanks for the info MuddyRubberDuck) The Lady at the check in gate was very friendly. She told us that we were in luck, there were...
The 10% of body weight worked out good for me in Salt water using an Aluminum 80 and a 5 mil wetsuit. I'm 6'-0 230lbs. so thats 23 lbs. For Fresh water, same setup, I knocked off 6 lbs, for total of 18 lbs.
On a dive in St. Thomas last year and the dive boat only had a belt with 18 lbs. Since...
My wife likes to snorkel, but the thought of breathing compressed air freaked her out.
So I thought I would eliminate her fear by hooking up my regulator and letting her breath of it while sitting on the couch.
The only problem was that when she took her first breath she inhaled a spider...

After reading another thread about a missing diver I decided to get some safety gear for me and my daughter/dive buddy. I bought a couple safety sausages and surface (diver down) bouys with the mountable flags. I also bought 2 small finger spools.
As I was looking through the gear I saw some...
What difference does it make it information is given out on this board or a different one? I never even know the other board existed until I read this thread. Maybe someone else who is only familiar with this site has access to resources that could be used in the search. I am going to call some...
Hey, Thanks for the invite. I hope you had a good time in Venice. I wasn't able to respond to your message because I went on a cruise to the the Bahamas and just got back today. My mom lives in Venice and my Brother is in Sartasota. Back in may, my brother and I did a shore dive south of...
I was in Atlantic Scuba. The instructor did not work for Atlantic Scuba though. I do not know what his name was. He just happened to be in the shop when I was getting a tank filled. I overheard him tell Dave, the owner, that he was an instructor, and then while I was waiting for the tank to be...
