    Spearing Newbie in the Keys - Looking to try it out

    Hi I'm a moderately experienced technical diver currently overwintering on my boat in Stock Island and am interested in trying out/learning about spearfishing and other underwater hunting. Looking for some recommendations on how to go about this, where, with whom and so forth. I do have...

    Is there a public use mooring ball at the Vandenberg?

    Not looking for an overnight mooring, its way too exposed anyway. I'd either head back to my slip at Stock Island, or drop the hook somewhere like Woman Key or similar depending on wind/seas. Frankly I don't care if they sneer at me, they're on a much less capable boat someone else owns that...

    Is there a public use mooring ball at the Vandenberg?

    Is there a public use mooring ball at the Vandenberg? I have a 38' 10-tonne sailing yacht. We're going to be doing some diving down here. I know the state maintains many public-use mooring balls throughout the park, but can't find any details wrt the Vandenberg site specifically.

    I'm not here to get in a pee-ing match. I was not contacted by the hotel, I was informed by tropic air, after some time, "oh by the way the hotel is sending you somewhere else". I had to use tropic air to call the hotel, Jan's wife gave me no details other than we were being sent to a "rustic...

    Help needed in Belize! Stranded by Porto fino

    Yes I know about the hurricane. It's not about that, it's all about the way management at porto fino handled it, or didn't handle it. I don't know about interesting, looks like a boring trip with no diving.

    Key West Fla Dive shop recommendation.

    Yes they have been sold. I just learned that my cave instructor is a partner in the new owners. I would expect that with that association they will become a class A outfit. So, I think you can disregard my unrecommendation until further data has been collected.

    Key West Fla Dive shop recommendation.

    They have been sold since then.....they are an unmitigated disaster. We had to show them how to pick up doubles and I ended up showing them how to blend/fill nitrox
