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...

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...

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...

Spotted two lionfish on Horseshoes Reef in WPB yesterday in about 45'-53' of water. :mad: Was loaded up with camera gear and wasn't wearing gloves, so couldn't get in close enough to safely kill them. But I did report the sighting and sent the photos to REEF.org.

Okay, so I'm here send some sunshine to Kissimmee Dive Center on 192. They really impressed me this week and I gotta give kudos. I don't usually drive down there, because it's an insanely long drive from my house (well over an hour, potentially two if traffic is bad), but it's the closest dive...

So, got to do DiveQuest last week through work. Pretty novel little experience. Tested out my new dive comp (an Oceanic Geo) for the first time, too. Here's a little review, complete with photo & video: Met up with the DiveQuest folks outside of Guest Relations and headed back to the...

Huge ups to ScubaToys! First off, I was pleasantly surprised a week or so ago when I checked my mail and realized that ScubaToys had set me up with a comp subscription to Scuba Diving Magazine! Shoot, I'd only ordered from them once before.. and that was just a shirt or something last year, so...

So, I treated myself to a fun little weekend down in W. Palm. Went out on a drift dive trip with Narcosis out of Riviera Beach. I love these guys! Very friendly, very helpful... just an awesome boat to dive with. Booked through SeaDragons dive shop down in Rockledge. My loyalty to the shop...
