    Abscess around old double root canal tooth and diving

    Tortugas Dive Site near PDC?

    My wife and I did a dive with Blue XTSea to a site called Tortugas or Las Tortugas near PDC way back in 2006, and it was absolutely covered with huge turtles munching away on sponges. We stopped counting at around 55 turtles in a 45-50 min dive if I recall correctly. I have a friend going down...

    Wanted Ikelite Lens Port 5510.11

    I am wanting to get a Tokina 10-17 for use with our Nikon D3200 in an Ikelite housing. I already have the dome, but just need the shorter lens extension. I already have a 5510.22. Ikelite has stopped making the 5510.11 and their "trade in" program to get in the dry lock system would require...

    LCBR post renovation first thoughts

    i have only been here since Sunday afternoon, but since Kathy asked nicely, here are a few thoughts based purely on my first impressions. First, the renovation of the dining area and the lobby were very well done and give it a bit of a more upscale feel. There is more space in the dining room...

    LCBR really disappointed me today

    See bottom of this post for Update... I have been coming here for nearly 2 decades and have been a very vocal advocate for the place here and elsewhere for a very long time. In all that time, they have been nothing but the very epitome of professional, bending over backwards to do things right...

    New Photo Center planned at LCBR

    DS160 Supply Chain Availability?

    I am just kind of curious about the current availability of the DS160 strobes. I know they were on sale at a number of places recently for $649 and I purchased one through Adorama. The day after the sale ended, Adorama sent me an email that they were out of stock and the item was on backorder...

    Non-Ike Strobes with an Ikelite TTL housing?

    I have an Ike housing for a Nikon DSLR that has their TTL strobe connection on it. I was using it with dual DS51s. Last trip, I flooded one of the strobes and I have been wanting to go to a more powerful strobe even before then. I see the DS160/161 and the prices and wonder how hard it would...

    LCBR Live Update (9/19/17)

    Well, we are halfway through our dive week, and I figured it was time for me to update a few things we have discussed over the last few months. First, the food is fine. Yes, I would rate it just a step below Chef Anthony's creations, but I actually think it is better than it was 2 years ago...

    Looking into adding a macro lens to my wife's D3200 rig for her birthday. I have been looking at lots of options, but keep coming back to the Nikon 60mm. Anybody using this lens on a DX format and have any comments or thoughts? Considered something like the Nikon 85 or 105 but have been...

    Travel BP&W For Warm Water Diving

    Ok, so I have read tons of old threads and y'all have mostly convinced me that a BP&W may be the best setup to try for my next BC. I have lost about 70 pounds in the last 18 months, and I now feel like I am swimming around inside my 17 year old XL Seaquest Pro QD. I dive almost exclusively in...
