    Friday Night Norte

    I had looked early this morning and they were still showing strong due North... I am glad they are swinging around... When we sail forecast more than 36 hours have 0 probability of accuracy but my days on the island are precious so I like to have options especially this time of year. Now if...

    Anybody know anything about the dive boat that sunk this morning?

    No one has put in a plug for DAN Trip Insurance. Besides the medical benefits, I believe it would cover lost equipment, etc. We get it every trip and it saved us when we were caught in a Hurricane on Turks. Well worth the $$$$. As for drybags, we keep them packed on our sailboat and they have...

    Neutral Buoyancy Lab

    I saw a piece on Channel 8, Dallas this weekend, about opening up the NBL to divers. Refresh my aging memory but does ChrisPete still work there and does anyone know anything more. Sorry but this would be a must-do dive for me...

    Texas Swamp Diver in Belize?

    A long, long time ago I have this vague memory of a Swamp Diver (I think) selling everything and going to Belize to open a resort/dive shop. Does anyone else from the old days, and you all know who you are, remember anything like this? While sitting in a hotel in far West Texas in 112 heat I...

    Balmorhea Pool Closed For Weekend

    Just saw on Midland news, 5-11-16, the pool will be closed for the weekend for cleaning. It is a long way to drive and I would hate for anyone to make the drive and find it is closed. It will be interesting to see how fast it clears up after it reopens.

John Andrews has apparently dry-rotted his scuba stuff for a Hog (motorcycle not new wife) and bbq places all over Central Texas... you can check him out on Facebook... Add Donna and...

    Balmorhea Update?? Wait aren't you from East Texas????

    I am shocked I even remember how to get on this site. Since I have been forced to go West in search of oil work, I guess I might as well pass away the time getting back into diving. Has anyone been to Balmorhea lately? I saw a post of someone looking for a dive partner but no response. None of...

    Casa Mexicana

    It has been a while since I have been on the thread but did I miss something about Aqua Safari??? They are located down the street from Casa Mexicana and based on dive count might be a great choice for a new diver. I have used many others but did my first blue water dives with AS. As for Casa...

    Where's Zinc?

    Don't forget there was once a Swamper who had so much valuable gear that it took a 12 foot trailer for him to get ready to dive... It took a handful of us to unload HIS gear at Ouachita as I recall... But that was also the same trip that a ballad about a washwoman was penned which made it all...

    Cab From Airport

    I just read the How to Get Around The Airport which was excellent Sue Sue and it seemed to indicate that taxicabs could come into the drive where the shuttles are. I have always been told they could not and you had to walk to the road. Has this changed? If it has is there a central place for the...

    Captain Lost Our Group

    I have seen all the comments, etc regarding SMBs and I know some of the posters and am wondering why no one has pointed out the need to practice, practice, practice their use. Remember SMBs can cause rapid ascents, depending on the type of inflation OOA problems trying to inflate with your...

    Roatan Closing To Boating

    Not sure what to make of all of this but I am also the owner of a sailboat with aspirations of headed that way next year. Apparantly the Mayor of Roatan has closed the Roatan Marine Park on the West End. I am not sure whether this affects dive boats or not. I do know enough about Latin American...
