Why is it that dive centers and instructors give away their instruction? I have seen so many shops throughout Florida advertising SCUBA as cheap as $49.00? Don't you want to make money in business? Not every student is going to come in your door and purchase a complete set of equipment from you. In the old days maybe so. Lack of the internet contributed to a higher loyalty rate than now days. Shoppers can find more deals on line than you can shake a stick at. Hey I like to shop on line like the rest of them. A good open water SCUBA class probably consists of 35-40 hours of training including academics, confined water and open water training. Seems to me that all the effort and finances that got you where you are, able to train and certify new divers should be worth more than $49.00! Anyone agree with this?

Divers, don't throw away your old regulators. Recycle them. I will buy them from you if the price is right. Email me at kwcapt@oomcast.net and let me know what you have.

I have been using the Cressi Big Eyes mask now for over 8 years. It is comfortable with large lenses which give you a great field of vision while maintaining a low profile. 100% Silicone and supported by Cressi's warranty. This mask is a great price from Amazon. If you are looking for a quality SCUBA mask, this is the one you should try.

Okay divers, we are in the middle of dive season here in Florida (yes there is a season in Florida)and now we will be seeing a surge in dive activity with the opening of lobster season this week. With "mini season" upon us it is time for divers and boaters to be extra cautious on or in the water. There have been quite a few diving related injuries here recently and its time for people step back and regroup. Recently there was a diver scalloping who was run over by a boat and subsequently died from the injuries. According to reports his dive flag was properly displayed while he was in the water but evidently the boater failed to either see it or fathom its importance.
This was a tragic incident and absolutely could have been avoided. Divers, be aware of boating traffic and don't assume just because the flag is flying high that the uneducated boater gives a hoot about it. Maybe a new campaign is needed?
