  • How to act if we break a fin or engages us in the rock

    very good advice for any underwater issue..i once got caught in some mono on a wreck and started to try and rip it off or tear it..after one really hard pull with no progress my brian kicked back in and said "you are wearing two knives, they will work instantly, pulling will not help" i was on the surface in seconds.


    this is why experience in the water is only real safety we have....by being familiar, comfortable and prepared, we stand the best chance for survival.


    be safe everyone

  • Pantoja's accident

    dan, your boat, your feet, your right to not get F'ed up by someone elses rudeness of just lack of thought.


    accountability is so important and todays' society seems to hate it. I choose my friends and my dive partners in large part because of it...if someone else cares about the value of their Name and their Word, I can trust that person

  • 2 kayaks & trailer

    for any interested buyers..these are great kayaks and that rack alone is a good value.




    you should look into a Zuma or Zest two..you and the wife can bring both kids and a days worth of gear...

  • Yak advise

    two easy ways...one is to make a hau rig which consists of a fiberglass bike flag pole stuck into the rudder hole.
    option two is to modify Dan's fuel line method and drill out a small hole in the yak, insert a pvc tube with a sealed end and fix that to the top of the yak, then glue or epoxy some fule line with a 1/4" ID into the pvc, this will securely hold a thin flag pole well


    the other is to make a wooden dowel base for your thin flag pole and stick it into a rod holder if your yak has them


    Steven's recommendations are all awesome...as is the hobie adventurer and cobra fish and dive. there is a lot of yak experience on here, so let us know what you find on CL and we will talk you through any and all mods

  • A few from Belize

    awesome report Hank...having the kids hold the fish sure maeks em look bigger ...hahaha just messing with ya.



    I hate when groupers give me the stare down..I have developed a trick that might work for you...when they are staring you down, bring your gun under your body and have it hidden but aimed at the grouper...then extend your nonshooting hand out to the side...the grouper will usually follow with his head enough for you to shoot and not ruin the fillets.

  • Speardiver Sizing Chart

    spea - I am the opposite of you as I am tall and lanky...the xxl is my suit and it fits like a custom...the legs end about two inches above my ankle...this is the area where if we were switched, it would affect you. Since you are in cold water, the extra length will ensure you are covered all the way....here in our toasty waters, even when it is 3mm time, my feet and ankle will never get too cold to dive.


    the flexibilty and quality of the suits will over come and subtle sizing differences between divers.
