Is it true that you can only dive there at night in summer? I've read in one place no diving during beach hours, and in another place it says talk to the lifeguard and they may waive the $5 beach fee.

Does anyone have info. about diving beaches between Norwalk & past Bridgeport? Like, for out of state cars not too steep a parking charge, that parking is close to shore, that diving is allowed, etc. Not figuring to get more than 12 feet depth. I've done Compo beach, but last time the fee went...

Sept. 4, 2023. Paddys Head, Nova Scotia (St. Margarets Bay). Same place as OW checkout dive No.1 Nov. 5, 2005 almost 18 years ago. It's also a place where I often assisted on OW courses. Joined SB Dec., 2007. Just a run of the mill dive. Got a periwinkle for a souvenir. A few years ago when I...

I went to change my number of dives from 500-999 to 1000-2449. Couldn't save it. Said I had to do something with my Linkedin entry 20 characters or less, etc. I monkeyed with that and that's all out of whack. It was always fine. Could you please tell me how to get the number of dives changed and...

Need some help on my profile. I changed my number of dives from 500-999 to 1000-2449. Couldn't save it. It came up that I needed to do something with my Linkedin address. There was no change there and it has always been the same on there for years. Something like "must have 20 characters or...

Am wondering if anyone has dived Beach 8th St. in NYC lately? I haven't dived there since 2010 and wonder if diving is still permitted. Parking still OK in that "loop"? Thanks in advance.

OK, I'm a retired DM with 900+ dives. I have used 3 masks over my 17 years diving. Last 2 summers I have leak problems. All OK until I first have to clear my mask. Then, constant leaks. I can resolve it by tightening the mask strap (never had to do that for 15 years) and nose-sucking. Tried...

So I'm doing one of my quickie 20 minute wet winter dives in Nova Scotia (water temp. in the 30sF)--don't worry, I have a method. I always don fins in water. Chop, surge, 3 feet viz but could be worse. Dropped a fin. I've done this at least 2 times before in my 17 years diving-- but not in...

I changed something on my profile (new BCD) and it doesn't change when I go back to it (or click on my name at a post). I click "save" at the page bottom. What am I doing wrong (worked before the "change")?

It says SB would like your permission to enable these. What are they, for those of us computer-dumb?

I just noticed now-- when I click on someone's name at the left, or on their picture/avatar (including my own) it doesn't take me to their profile, info. about them, etc. Is that something since the changeover or do you click somewhere else to see someone's profile?

Can anyone describe any shore diving sites in Puerto Rico? We may at some point go for a month and rent a car, so pretty much anywhere on the island. Looking for easy entry sites and fairly decent depths (15 feet plus, etc.). Thanks in advance.

It is common knowledge that artificial reefs help the environment by providing a place for aquatic life to attach itself, fish to use as shelter, etc. (though of course 300 years ago they didn't need any help). Does anyone know the financial cost of readying a ship for sinking (toxins removed...

Regarding the thread about expanding SB to social media in Basic-- For some reason I can't post there, or reply to another post, etc.-- no action. I have no problems with any other threads. Has anyone else had this unique problem or it is me?

Where is the Instructor to Instructor sub forum now? Do I have to re-join it? Can DMs still be members?

With the changed format under my name says Scuba Instructor. I'm a Divemaster-- s that designation no longer able to be used? Can it be changed back?

What happened to The Pub?

If you vomit underwater I've heard the reason you keep the reg in is because you involuntarily inhale immediately afterwords. Is it possible to mentally stop this inhale? I of course would not advise anyone to not have the reg in, just wondering about the physiology. I haven't thrown up since...

A question for instructors but I put it here for all to benefit. One I should probably know the answer to. Every time I've done the unit doff/don skill in OW I have worn a weight belt as well as having integrated weights (common here, of course). In the pool, only the belt. In the pool I assume...

I may be there a few days in a motel. Anyone with any info. on easy access shore diving in Fundy? Worries regarding the tidal current? Decent depth without a long swim out (15-20' is fine)?
