  • Hardline's Dive Reports

    yeah, i read that online.


    also read that the holes sometimes make people feel nauseous because of unequal temperature around the ears


    hank (or sdeisen, if you did the same), where did you put the holes in your suit? i'm guessing putting a few different holes around where my ears are would be the best bet?

    i've got the same suit as you... the hood doesn't bother you?


    whenever i put it on it has this weird tendency to get water stuck in my ears and make an uncomfortable pressure around them

  • planning a trip to dive Florida's Springs up north.... help?

    Quote from Reefchief

    Alejandro you definitely want to go to blue springs. Its inside a nice little park 20-30 mins north of Orlando. Its basically a medium sized springhead and run with a very large vertical hole right down the middle. At 60 ft is a sign that warns scuba divers to not die and it veers off. Its perfect for freediving and there is also some camping there. You have to reserve far ahead if you want to camp though. I went years ago and it was really really cool. There are a few others I will find the name of I was interested in visiting soon. But they dont seem as cool for freediving as bluesprings.


    thanks reefchief, i'll check out that spring too. from what you're saying it sounds like blue springs would be perfect, although we would have to get the short-notice camping OK'd before going (we're looking to go on the 20th of this month)

  • planning a trip to dive Florida's Springs up north.... help?

    hey guys, my cousins and i are from South Florida and we're interested in taking a weekend to travel up north and dive the springs.


    i don't know a ton about the springs but i've heard that ichetucknee is a fun spring to check out.


    we'd be interested in spending Saturday and Sunday at whatever spring we choose to go to. we plan on canoeing/kayaking the river and camping on the river for one night. of course, we also want to go somewhere where there is some fun freediving to check out (deep holes up to 60' and manatees would be great).


    anyone have any recommendations or suggestions for where we should go or how we should go about planning the weekend?


    thanks in advance!

    Im actually working on getting my vids even less choppy than that one! I have found that shooting more FPS underwater allows you to manipulae the speed with better results to get smooth video. That video was shot at 60FPS and I'll post another vid in a few minutes that was shot at 120FPS so you can see how much smoother the motion is when slowing it down.


    yup, wasn't sure if you used a program to make it even better. i know a little about it (i've done some reading in the last couple months about it) and know about how fps affect how well slow motion editing turns out.


    there are programs that make things realllll smooth. check this vid out.

  • White gopro hero3

    agree with dan, if i were you i would return it to get the silver at the least.


    or you can return it and buy a regular hero 1 and save yourself some money.

  • guns for sale: Riffe C1 & C2x, Wong ET

    selling a few guns. time to clean out the closet.


    gun 1: riffe comp 1
    Riffe Speargun Competition #1 (Teak, NEARLY NEW!)


    gun 2: riffe comp 2x
    Riffe Competitor 2x (Perfect condition, teak gun)


    gun 3: daryl wong enclosed track florida freeshafter
    *the gun does have a small nick towards the nose of the gun. should be an easy fix if it bothers you. i do not think it is necessary to fix, but some people might. Daryl says a quick application of some sawdust and superglue will have it ready to go*
    Daryl Wong Enclosed Track Speargun- top quality gun


    pics, descriptions, and prices are all in the craigslist ads. i prefer to do a local sale in south florida for the guns.


    thanks!
