    Question Sargassum in Key Largo?

    I've been reading about a big sargassum patch affecting Florida. Has that been affecting diving off Key Largo?

    Caverns near St. Augustine

    I will be near St. Augustine in November and wondering if any dive shops lead day trips to relatively nearby caverns. I'm an experienced open water diver, not a cave diver. And I understand Jupiter is about the farthest north for good ocean dives. thanks

    San Salvador Dolphins

    Wonderful having the dolphins come and play around us, just like last year. Certainly made up for the less than stellar viz, due to the windy conditions.

    Enjoyed great dives in San Salvador while staying at Club Med Columbus Isle in early November, including an encounter with 2 playful dolphins, and several sharks.

    Plaza Resort

    My dive club is going to the Plaza Resort next Feb. Last time I was in Bonaire we stayed at Den Laman, which had a great house reef. With the Plaza - is there shore diving there, or just the beach? Looks like its close to town, which may be nice for the non-divers. Any other input will be...

    Costa Rica Guanacaste in March

    I will be staying at the Marriott Guanacaste by Playa Mansita in late March. Anyone know of diver ops that will pick up there, how the local diving is, and is it a reasonable trip to the Catalina Isl. from there. Thanks.

    Goliath Groupers & pics

    Did a 3 tank dive off Palm Beach Friday on the Deep Obsession and we saw several goliath groupers, apparently gathering to spawn. Very nice dive trip. Lets help keep the goliaths protected against fishing.

    Info on Cuan Law

    Anybody dive recently with Cuan Law trimaran in the BVI? Supposedly they do more than dive, like kayaking? Which my non-diving wife would appreciate. Any info on the diving, other activities, and the boat experience itself is appreciated.

    Using older Canon housing for newer G series

    I have been using a Canon G9 with the Canon housing offered at the time. The housing is fine but the camera has issues. Would the housing work for the newer G series cameras? The basic body looks similar from what I can tell on line but not sure if the controls would line up the same. As...

    Lemon Sharks

    I've heard January is the time to see lemon sharks off Jupiter, FL. Anyone know if the sharks are around now, and if so, is there a dive op in that area that goes out to see them? Thanks for any info.

    Suunto Cobra

    I have a 9 year old Suunto Cobra that just had a battery replaced, seemed to work at the surface but upon diving did not go into dive mode except it showed air pressure. Same thing on 2nd dive. Is this just the case of an older computer starting to fail. Shop says it didn't reset any...

    Effect of "Arthur"

    Looks like the storm off the SE FL that may become "Arthur" is stirring things up. I was planning on diving Pompano on Wednesday, but don't want to drive over from SW FL if its going to be real rough, or low viz. Any guess as to conditions then, even assuming the storm will head north on...

    Mohawk Dive Op

    Does anybody know if a dive op is making runs to the Mohawk wreck off of Fort Myers? Its 20 some miles off-shore so I heard not many boats go out there. Thanks.

    Key Largo Turtles

    Friday we dived shallow on Elbow Reef and saw the green sea turtle. On Sat we did 2 dives on the Spiegel Grove and saw the big turtle, but not sure what kind, didn't think it was another green - can anybody tell if this is a loggerhead, leatherback, etc? Sorry the viz isn't better on that one...

    Bimini Dive Report

    Last weekend I did 3 dives in Bimini, the Bimini Barge, the Sapona wreck, and a reef dive where the boat hung out a bait pail to attract reef sharks. All were fun, although being shallow and close to ledges, the last 2 dives didn't have the best visability. But the sharks were great. Here are...

    Middle Keys suggestions

    I've dived Key Largo many times, and also Islamorada, so I'd like to head further down to the Middle Keys. I hear Sombrero Reef and Looey Key are very nice. Any suggestions for operators? And for a non-diver, any suggestion for staying either in Marathon or Big Pine Key? thanks much.
