Re: Portable GPS Waypoints
Yeah. My buddies and I use gps all the time. You can actually use a smart phone with a dry sleeve and hang it to your dive float. I recommend you use an old smart phone and buy a nautical map app for $10. Way cheaper than buying a Garmin GPS unit for $200+

Re: Portable GPS Waypoints
Please clarify what while shore diving means. Also do you have access to a vaccuum sealer?

Re: Portable GPS Waypoints
I just bought the Garmin GPSMAP 78sc for $260 on amazon. I haven't had a chance to use it in the water yet but i've looked through the charts and I really like it. The screen refreshes fast when you are scrolling through the charts. The charts show general bottom depth, wrecks, etc. Seems perfect so far

Re: Portable GPS Waypoints
the reason why I do not specify on some of my posts is because I don't want to "burn" myself. This means I don't want others getting or stealing ideas from me.
I try to help other as much as I can. Also, I never will give others inaccurate information or give advise that could be dangerous. I do not have a vacuum sealer. Quote:
I swim across coves foraging. I don't have many dive buddies because I understand that they all do not like giving up their spots. I'm just learning day by day, little at a time. I wouldn't mind having trustworthy dive buddies, but nowadays, everyone doesn't keep their mouths shut. not sure if this response help you mainphrame.
