Yep, they sent me home with a digital copy of everything, burned to a CD. Being the curious sort, I found some software that could read the CT image format (which was of a sort I'd never seen before) and it definitely has the full image set. Pretty interesting to scroll through. Now if my...

Thank you! This helps give me a little less to fret about while I wait on seeing a specialist. Much appreciated! Thankfully, external trauma was minimal. Nothing more than a minor scrape, no blood. Fingers crossed everything inside heals up right. And I appreciate the recommendations on...

While in Hawaii this past week, I slipped while tidepooling and took a lava rock to the face. Got a CT scan at the local ER and it ended up being a mildly impacted maxillary sinus fracture. Likely recovery time 2-4 months. The ER doc was a diver and seemed to think I'd be okay diving once it...

I just got back from Beqa Lagoon (on recommendation from a friend who went in 2012) and, while the resort was beautiful, the people were friendly, and the shark dives were absolutely amazing, I wouldn't recommend the resort. It was poorly run and I had numerous issues, plus I had some safety...

Just got back four days ago (Oct 7-14) from Fiji (Beqa Lagoon) and the temps were between 75-78. Chilly. I brought my 3mm, but immediately regretted it and traded in for a 5mm at the resort. Was very lucky that they actually had one in my size. Felt comfortable on most dives with that...

World's worst airport? That's a bit of an exaggeration, I think. I just got back yesterday from my third trip down there and that airport, while sparse and bare, is not horrible. I get through there far faster and easier than I do in my home airport of LAX, that's for sure. To be fair, I...

Whoohoo! Adjusting the seat, as per Mr. Carcharadon, seems to have fixed it! Gonna jump in the pool with it to make sure, but I think we may be good. Definitely going to keep the shop recommendations in mind, too. When I left Florida, I felt a little adrift. Still haven't found that "home"...

I might give that a try, thank you! It's funny... I had no fear working on my 30 year old ScubaPro Mark V, but this one is all fancy and modern--makes me hesitant to fiddle with it too much. ;) If that doesn't fix it, I'll call Hollywood Divers in the morning. Looks like they aren't too far...

So, I'm flying out for a dive trip in two weeks. Discovered today while checking my gear that my regulator second stage has developed an air leak (an Aqualung Mikron). Gotta get it fixed asap. I moved out here from Florida and the last time I took a reg in to a dive shop in SoCal, they sent...

Thanks, y'all! On the GoPro, I used a PolarPro "cube" red filter. I looked at the more expensive types, but since I'm pretty much a just vacation diver now that I've moved outta FL, I opted for the cheaper option. Cost me about $30 (including tax & shipping) and it's just a red plastic bit...

Little behind, but I don't have as much forum time as I used to. Nevertheless, wanted to share my trip from last August 18th to 25th. Flew in on TACA, from LAX through San Salvador to RTB. Had /zero/ problems with TACA and, honestly, they had better customer service than a the domestic...

I did Roatán last summer and just got everything since I plan on traveling abroad more in coming years anyway. Did the Typhoid pills, the Hep A shots (already had the Hep B shots from college). I'm already on an anti-malarial daily for my RA (Hydroxychloroquine/Plaquenil, which is also used to...

No guarantees (as the office has been making me work frequent weekends lately), but I'm going to try to be there for this again this year! Will bring dive flag & float if anybody wants to join me for a shore dive! :)

As a woman working in a seriously male-dominated industry myself (I work in IT), I deal with a varient of this behavior all the time. It doesn't help that my physique apparently makes me look underage, even though I'm pushing 30 and dress far more professionally than most of the grungy...

From I-4 to W. Palm Beach (Okeechobee Blvd.) is $11.90 one-way. So, over $20 for the round trip. It's ridiculous. With the SunPass, it is a dollar or so less. But still insane. Here's your basic toll calculator for the Florida toll systems: Toll Calculator XML version 2.751

So... how do you like it? More than once, I've thought about buying one and mounting it on my riding helmet (horses), but I've wondered about the quality of the picture. Any review so far?

As an update, I called Blue today to inquire about getting a refund. The lady sounded miffed that I wanted my money back, but said that I could get one if I physically went to the park with the pink slip they give you when you pay, the receipt for payment, and the actual pass. It sucks that...

They don't charge both. In the time before I had a pass, if you're diving you ONLY pay the $15 diving fee. And why should I keep something I'm not going to use otherwise? I don't visit the state parks otherwise enough to make an $60 pass worth my money. Hitting Wekiwa once or twice a year at...

Seriously pisses me off. It's bad enough that they raised the price this year.. and when I renewed, I specifically asked if it still covered dive fees with the price increase. The only reason I bought a state park pass was to use it for diving at Blue. I'm going to be demanding a refund first...

I live in Orlando and make day-trips to go dive in West Palm / Riviera Beach. It's about three hours each way, but I skip the turnpike. I refuse to spend $20 in tolls just to save 15 minutes. I take SR 528 ($1.50 tollbooth if you get on at SR436, but two other tollbooths if you get on at I-4)...
