Re: Scallops: Clean on boat or clean back on shore?

Thanks everyone! We are waiting for the 10 days in Pasco to go. If we can't find them in Pasco we plan to run north. The boat is at a marina on the Anclote River with no trailer, so that been a...

Scallops: Clean on boat or clean back on shore?

I've only done scalloping once, and have always wondered if you get more meat by cleaning them on the boat to get the 1 pint per person or wait until you're back on shore to clean your 2 gallons...

Re: New guy

Me personally, I wouldn't buy Aluminum tanks that old. Their life isn't as long as Steels and some dive shops won't fill them if they are over 20 years old. Some say anything goes if it passes the...

Re: Yamaha Repower - Recommended Dealers

Thanks for the replies.

Boat is a 22ft Sea Hunt Triton.

We might be considering Suzuki. I have nothing against Etecs, but there isn't really room to add an oil reservoir.

Apparently...

Yamaha Repower - Recommended Dealers

We have decided to just repower our boat rather than try to fix our 2005 Yamaha F150 four stoke. The boat is rated for up to a 250. So we are looking for recommend Yamaha dealers to do the repower....

Re: New Boat - Renaissance Prowler 31

That's what buddy's are for... We've certainly had to put in some team work on some similar situations.

Re: New Boat - Renaissance Prowler 31

Nice! Nothing more painful than watching you shot that Gag and him managing to swim off the spear.

Looks like I should have gone out today with those nice seas.

Re: Current Vis - Tampa Bay Region (Homosassa to Sarasota)

Viz in 65 to 70 was maybe 20 feet on the bottom.

Viz in 30 feet was maybe 10 feet with lots of snot.

Got lots of Hogs at both depths. Almost all but the the Gag I brought home seemed to be in...

Re: Current Vis - Tampa Bay Region (Homosassa to Sarasota)

It's funny you say that because that band is older and I've been getting ready to switch to a new one. Guess it's time.

Re: Bent flopper on shaft

Thanks, Kevin. I will take you up on the offer.

What hours are you there? or should I give you a call to see when to stop by? I work in St. Pete so I can stop by on my lunch hour or at the end of...

Bent flopper on shaft

Any way I can fix a bent flopper on one of my Ocean Rhino Shafts? Shaft is in great shape, but now unusable with the way it's bent.

Is this something you can do on your own or require special...

Re: Current Vis - Tampa Bay Region (Homosassa to Sarasota)

We had about 20 feet of viz on the bottom in 65-70feet on a ledge off Anclote. Certainly a noticeable thermocline. About 78 degrees on top and 73 degrees on the bottom. Got the only Red Grouper I...

Re: Marathon/Key Colony Beach Dive Shops

I agree. It's if I want to pay the price. If I'm in 50-60ft or deeper I'm willing to pay it. If I'm only diving in 20-30ft I really don't want to pay for Nitrox.

One last question. I'm assuming...

I'm looking for some recommend dive shops in the area of Marathon for June. We will be at Key Colony Beach.

We will specifically need air and nitrox fills. What price should we expect to pay?...

Re: Spearing Dive Computer

That's good advice. It does have a lot to do with what you personally do.

Everyone has its pros and cons.

Re: Spearing Dive Computer

Do you use an Oceanic currently I'm assuming? What model? I see a good deal on a Veo 3.0.

I basically have it narrowed down to the dg03 and Veo 3.0. I'm not looking to break the bank and there...

Re: Current Vis - Tampa Bay Region (Homosassa to Sarasota)

Re: Spearing Dive Computer

Thank you everyone for the replies. The Hollis dg03 actually looks like a pretty good contender. I don't need a transmitter but I fear if I don't get one I'll want it and won't be able to get it at...

Re: Current Vis - Tampa Bay Region (Homosassa to Sarasota)
