I see your Cozumel and raise you a Philippines. So which one wins? I am leaving March 4th.

I see your Philippines and raise you a Roatán in April.

Very nice work. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.

Binoculars?

I wonder if it's on tap at Marination at Cove 2 . . . . . . probably not.

So which one of you is going to give it a name?

Could we be having similar problems with Worthington tanks in the future?

First know that I am a novice UW photographer. I have a GoPro-type camera on a stick. I use a Sola 1200 for light. The stick-type handle keeps me from getting my camera down low eye level with the fish. I have been wanting a tray for some time. So for me anyway, a tray, two arms, and two 600 lumen l...

The people who make the Sola lights, LIght & Motion, have started a new campaign on Kickstarter; new lights designed for users of GoPro cameras. There are 18 days left in the campaign and they are already funded (just over 200%). You can check it out at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ligh...

Did you run those tanks down to empty or something? 500psi is still 2lbs of gas (assuming no trimix) so you shoulda at most be light by 2lbs. I suspect you were light in your own tanks too, just not by as much. 40lbs and double fx100s? Does that count a SS plate? Something is not right here. Good q...

For those that know me, you realize that DUI used a bit more material to make my dry suit than what most of you dive with. Your buoyancy may differ.

I have been diving with Worthington 100 cu. ft. 3442 psi tanks for two years. I currently wear 36 pounds of weight. I wanted more tanks so yesterday I picked up two new Faber 100 cu. ft. tanks (3442 psi) and today was my first dive them. I was noticeably UNDER WEIGHTED. I was holding on to two rocks...

Drysuit, seriously. A lot of us don't bother with wet suits at all anymore. A drysuit with long underwear underneath or possibly 100wt fleece is dreamy to dive in the tropics. A lot fewer skin infections, rashes etc too. Have you ever found water temps too warm for a drysuit? Ever get too warm in y...

If you're worried about Fukushima, you'd better take down the smoke detectors in your house, move to a concrete-free building, and stop eating bananas. They all have orders of magnitude more radioactivity than you'll ever get from Fukushima. Oh GREAT!!!! *throws bananas at smoke detectors cofford i...

I would get one if only my 240 volt 3 phase generator could put out 50 amps. Guess I'll have to wait for version 2.0.

Scratch that. Learned this morning that I now have to be in Eastgate at 11:30, not 1:00 as I had previously thought.

Am I not seeing the CCR equipment. Looks to me like you all are diving OC with twin tanks. So how come no bubbles. These pictures are amazing, took my breath away. But I would assume bubbles from at least one of the three. Regardless, stunning pictures.

If you can do an 8:00 am splash, I could make that.

lj,
Thanks for the offer but I'm going to skip the dive and have an early dinner with my wife tonight.

Take a women in a wheel chair, add a couple of motors from a scooter, strap a bottle on the back, add bow planes, and you have something pretty amazing. The video is from a TED talk in 2012, about 9-1/2 minutes long.

Need some assistance here, it can't wait much longer.

I've loaded up the car for a dive tonight and I seem to have misplaced my quick disconnect valve. Any ideas where I can purchase a new one locally (Bellevue, Seattle). I will be trying NAPA and West Marine.

Cheers,

John

Or is it welcome to the insanity?

How do you know the hotel made a deal with the city over those spots? I know I've seen both hotel guests and staff park there in the past and nobody stopped them (it's public parking), but some sort of deal with the city is news. That is an excellent question. I stayed at the Silver Cloud Saturday ...

Something I learned today about the parking at the north end of the Silver Cloud motel. I'm talking about the four public parking spots on the north end of the motel, you know the spots that don't allow parking from 2:00 - 4:00 (or something like that) otherwise it's a four hour limit, plus the two ...

That makes alot of sense. Makes me wonder, do we spend enough time teaching when and how to dump weight belts?
