Closed cell foam is another option and can be easier to install depending on the application.

IF your patient you can also find good used suits on ebay. Though, with internet purchases sometimes you lose the chance to try them on.

Re: Artificial Reefs

No copper, no oil, no grease, no lead, the list is long... While I doubt your reef site is on private land, that is if its actually divable, I mostly noticed you have not mentioned its location. Since you are comfortable with the legality of your plans, please post the applicable County tax ID numb...

Re: Artificial Reefs

Changing currents? Were not talking about building a dam or diverting a river. You might be surprised at how little it takes to upset an eel grass bed, and they're a valuable commodity. I am not at all opposed to a few underwater parks. What I find weird is the assertion that there's a shortage of ...

Are you against all artificial reef programs? Aren't reef balls and wrecks just nicely formed garbage by that definition?

Re: Artificial Reefs

I am all for artificial reefs, especially ships sunk as artificial reefs, but I am also for it being done legally. Any advice where to start? I might suggest that you think about what part of the beach is private and what the land ownership rights entitle you to. It isn't like you are just keeping ...

Re: Artificial Reefs

Thanks for all the information regarding reef balls. I am not intending to create the next EUP; I just have a lot of stuff I think would make a good reef off of a private beach. I was not envisioning creating substrate (i.e. concrete reef balls), but rather using things that I have currently, mostly...

Artificial Reefs

Does anyone know where I could find information regarding material sutable (and not) for use as artificial reefs?

I don't want to sink anything that may do more harm than good.

Re: Tank Lights, Hand held lights..

I understand there are some focusing issues with the Raider 3 and 4 -- I'd hold off on buying them for a while. I saw them at DEMA, and on land, they're impressive. But a dealer told me that underwater, the focus is off and the light doesn't work very well at all, and Oxycheq is working on it. I ag...
