Cozumel ...drift, hmmmm sounds awesome!
Cool video thanks for sharing

I went into a dive shop 5 years ago and asked how much it would cost to buy all the equipment I need, was told about 1500.00. 3500.00 later I was all fitted out with some real good Subapro equipment which I still have (Don't go cheap it's your life).

Get a good spear gun. Once you start spearfishing you will never want to go diving without it.

:D . . . . old thread lol

You get that breathing underwater thing fugured out yet Dave?

So did you learn to blow bubbles in the tub or what?????

hey this is not the place to bring up Daves old buddy from the Circus.:evilb:

All I can say - in a training manual that I used there was this quote

"I have slipped the surly bond of earth reached out and touched the face of God"

To be weightless and see all the beauty that is underwater is breath taking- Last year in Cayman I was on a dive that I literally wanted to suck the tank dry. The water was very warm, had my buoyancy perfect, no current, visibility well over 100' and the marine life was all around me.

You can't put it into words.

Now fresh water is a little different - not far from Batavia- Lamont query (little Lamont) was neat -- lots of fish around and good visibility for fresh water.

DO IT
just do it the right way

Well Dave? did you do it?
If not get-r-done, I wish I wouldn't have waited so long in life to get certified, cozumel drift diving is quite possibly one of the best, and Devil's Throat at palancar will keep you on your toes, I have been to the Red Sea as well off of Sharm el Sheikh, (during the Arab Spring no less) and that was awesome too! Can't wait to get down to Florida and make regular diving part of my life!

Wow! I just started taking the PADI course last week! Very excited to do my first ocean dive!

So Dave, did you ever get certified?

yep years ago, wish I got out and dove (dived? . . . diven? . . .lol) more often, I really enjoyed it. I really think it was important to be certified when I was boat racing as well, I think it should be required.


how ya been? psyched to get the flat deck wet I'm sure :D

Agree with Dave,,,, As a PADI Dive instructor,,, I "highly encourage" everyone on my team to be 100% comfortable under water,,, and spend time certifying them each year before the racing season starts,,..... Air is like Sex,, people take it for granted , until they are not getting any,,,,,,,,,

You ever bump into Bubbles anymore Dave ?

A really important thing to do when you are Scuba Diving is BREATHE and than BREATHE again.

Kinda like walking around above water accept you don't have some funny tasting rubber thing in your mouth that if you suck on it you BREATHE.

And if you are doing it in the Gulf bring a Speargun and a bangtip, we have Great Whites here now

I'm good thanks! Looks like we may have made it through the winter finally.... Tough to do anything in power sports in the North during sub zero weather....

Getting the Flat Deck is keeping my mind off the winter and looking forward to summer!:bananalove: I talked to the previous owner, and he told me that the building it is stored in on his property had the door plowed in due to the snow they had... Said it's going to take a few weeks to melt.... I'm thinking by the end of this month I should be good to go get her.....:D:D

One of nature’s most impressive masters of disguise is the octopus, which can change color and texture in less than a second, blending into its surroundings with incredible accuracy. I captured this clip of an octopus on a night dive in Mexico last weekend

I have also been on a Cozumel night dive and witnessed the same thing, spooky, cool, weird, all of the above!
