    Naples FL June 11-18

    Folks, I'm taking my 13 year old son to Naples for a visit with his grandparents and I'm considering breaking away for a quick dive day. I'm only interested in recreational limits and a quality operator for this trip. Would prefer to stay away from cattle boats and large groups. Based on my...

    Grand Cayman Ritz DIR

    Hi! It’s been sometime since I made me way on to the site. Great to be back! That said I need some help. Next week I will be diving in the Caymans and need some advice on ops. As a technical diver I can be a little picky with operations. My favorite recreational dive op is Aldora in Coz...

    Paradise Island

    Thanks for taking the time to update us with this useful information. My favorite op has always been Aldora. All others should be measured by the bar they set.

    DIR tips and tricks

    Just a funny observation on the back kick....... Wanted to get back in the water a few months back and hooked up with one of my dive mentors Trace Malinowski who was teaching an intro to tec class. On one of the dives he removed a very flexible pink fin off one of the students and gave his up...

    Best BP/W

    Sometimes the price on the H brand gets you thinking about other options but at the end of the day two things stand out. What's my life worth and made in the USA. I believe You Tube has some videos on how the wings are made. On another note I have liked products from DSS and also think highly of...

    Halcyon leads the pack in my opinion. Also less is more here so keep it simple.

    Currents and diver experience level

    Not really a DIR thing but I have found staying in a streamlined position my speed is much slower. For example if I wanted to increase my speed I would break trim slightly and create more drag. Also moving my fins slightly in the flow can adjust what direction I'm facing. This becomes very cool...

    Currents and diver experience level

    I find trim to be very important in drift diving. I can use my body to adjust speeds buy creating more surface area or less in the water. The same would be true when fighting a current. I'm as slick and clean as possible which allows me to work much less. Most divers create a lot of drag and...

    Balanced buoyancy advice please

    Head back, butt tight, feet flat! It's just that easy...lol. I watched videos and read everything I could but taking a guef or intro to tec class made all the difference in the world.

    Diver lost in Cozumel today

    During a few dives that week I was pushed toward the wall and overhangs. Even got a down blast that made me think my wing was leaking. Some of the tight sections i found control was difficult. Even with a very high level of control in the water I found myself fighting for it now and then. I...

    Very strange currents testing many of my skills throughout the week. We finished the trip Friday on Santa Rosa wall thinking of the lost diver. My heart goes out to the missing divers family and friends.
