I liked scubapro bc's and regs. I got a scubapro frameless mask when they first came out and loved it. A few years ago it flooded because the seal failed where the lens is molded to the mask.. I took it to Dive pros and they exchanged it on the spot and replaced it with one off the shelf. It failed once again this summer and I have been using my wife's mask. I took it in to dive pros and they sent it to the factory for replacement. I was just called by dive pros and they said it was OUT of warranty, but the factory would send me a new one for forty dollars. It sales for over a hundred in the shop and leisurepro.com sales it for $59 DOLLARS.....  I do believe in supporting our local shops and I do most of my business @ MBT!!!!! But, if you have to have a scubapro item, you might as well buy it online and save HALF if the company and shop is not going to warranty an obvious defect!!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now i'm done with my rant and buying a new mask!!!!!&lt;br&gt;Sea ya, Reese</description><pubDate>Mon, 27 Oct 2008 13:55:51 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>FishinFL</dc:creator></item><item><title>MBT Holiday Sale</title><link>http://pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic225576-38-1.aspx</link><description>Sale starts at 7am Friday morning.

I'm a Navy Corpsman stationed in GTMO Cuba ( past 3 yrs) that's coming back to Pensacola in July 09. By the time I get back there I should have finished about 500+ dives here, all including: boat, beach, low viz, wreck, strong current, and bullshark petting dives. Been advanced certified for 30 yrs. I had the pleasure to dive the "O" this past June. I'm looking forward to all the local dives and elsewhere. Looking forward to possibly meeting some of you and getting some dives in.&lt;P&gt;Paul</description><pubDate>Tue, 25 Nov 2008 18:55:39 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Banana Republic Diver</dc:creator></item><item><title>one hell of a deep dive</title><link>http://pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic207852-38-1.aspx</link><description>well after almost a year of having the dive plan hanging in my office if finally got the opportunity to do it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I HIT THE SAND AT THE ORISKANY ON AIR!!!!!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;i rolled of the boat with double LP 95's topped to 3200 of regular ol' 21% air and a 40cuft of 100% O2. my plan was &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;150' for 5, &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;220 for 5, &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;150 for 10,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;120 for 10, &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;100 for 10 &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;then deco out at 70 for 3,     60 for 3,      50 for 4,     40 for 6,     30 for 8, 20' on O2 for 12&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;i got down to 150, grew some balls and down i went, getting more and more hammered every foot past 190 i got. at about 210' it took both hands to turn my flash light on, but i had no problem checking my air/bottom time/elapsed time. i did however have issues figuring out my bouancy once down at 224' due to the rediculous amount of gas that it takes at that depth to make you neutral. after 3 minutes at 224' i had seen a large shark, some giant snapper and grouper and some pretty colors it was time to go. had to use the side of the ship to get myself past the 200 mark  where i finally got possitive bouancy and started making my way back up. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;the "O" is definately a different wreck now with the deck at 150'. what an experience...i have over 1000 logged dives and the one where i didn't even carry my gun is now my most memorable.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;TIME FOR HELIUM!!!!!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[IMG]http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh155/seanmclemore/CIMG3599.jpg[/IMG]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[IMG]http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh155/seanmclemore/CIMG3600.jpg[/IMG] </description><pubDate>Sun, 26 Oct 2008 13:49:01 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>seanmclemore</dc:creator></item><item><title>Wreck Class 23-25 November 08</title><link>http://pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic221591-38-1.aspx</link><description>I will be teaching a PADI Wreck Specialty class.  For someone just looking to collect cards, this isn't the class for you.  This class will teach you the basics of diving a wreck, basic mapping, and limited penetration.  We will do extensive reel work and cover specific techniques for deep water and wreck diving self-rescue.  We will tackle a classroom session on the night of the 23rd, and do an inshore trip on the 24th.  On the 25th, we will dive the USS Oriskany.  You will need two lights for the class.  You are encouraged to have your own reel, but I have plenty for use in the class.

I work out of town a lot and scheduled charters for when I could get back but they were always cancelled.. Finally, I bought a boat and have dove about 50 times this summer.. I planned to log them in the beginning but couldn't find my log book.. I finally found it and figured I'd backtrack a little and get up to date.. But, I noticed a seal imprinted on my first 5 dives done during the course... So, do the following dives have to be stamped or does my dive buddy just have to sign? I don't want to look shady for filling out all that crap late but I also don't want to not get credit for an entire summer of diving almost every weekend either. I've been diving with a couple guys that dive Nitrox and I'm really seeing the advantage of that class. We dove about 120 feet yesterday. Me and another guy ran out of air and came up but the guy diving Nitrox stayed down another TEN MINUTES!! That gave him just enough time to wait for a school of monster AJ to swim by and he busted one of them, beating my AJ that was on the board for first.. :banghead &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anyway, some of those classes you can't take without a certain number of logged dives.. I have more than enough for whatever but need to log... What to do?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I know this is a rookie question but I've forgotten a lot of that stuff. Reading tables, and the other safety stuff is about all I retained from that class. For the life of me, I can't remember the protocol for logging dives..</description><pubDate>Sat, 18 Oct 2008 17:06:58 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Jarhead</dc:creator></item><item><title>NIGHT DIVE TONIGHT!!!</title><link>http://pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic205586-38-1.aspx</link><description>Have an Advanced Class and we're gonna do a navigation and a night dive tonight!

Lauderdale on Tuesday. The caravan started with a meet up at 5:30am in Pensacola, and Sean, Doc, Briana, and myself all loaded up into a rented minivan. Next time I have to drive any long distance I'm renting a minivan: four captain's chairs, room for gear, and a slap shift on the column. Needless to say, we had fun with the minivan! &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The trip started at 5:30am, but I knew we were on vacation when the center console of the minivan, and the glove box got turned into a cooler. Yes...it will hold ice.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0097_2.jpg[/img][img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0094.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We arrived in Ft. Lauderdale at around 5:00pm and got checked into the hotel, and promptly made our way to the tiki bar. We had to be up really early the next morning to fly out to Bimini, so most of us went to bed after the long drive...some of us didn't...but that's another story for another time. We all got up the next morning and loaded up to head over to Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport...that is after someone in our group had to slip Pepe the cleaning guy $10.00 to return ID/Credit Cards left at establishments the previous night. With all ID/Credit Cards in our possession we all headed on over to catch our flight on Bimini Island Air.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0098_3.jpg[/img][img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0103_3.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;DJ proving that all you need is 15 minutes of sleep to catch a plane...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/Copy%202%20of%20DSCN0102.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So we all loaded up on about a 30 seat plane, and headed for Bimini.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/Copy%202%20of%20DSCN0106.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As you can see, Frtiz really loves to fly.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/Copy%202%20of%20DSCN0107.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The flight was only about 20 mintues long. We landed in Bimini at around noon.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0223_2.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Bimini has two islands, the North Island and the South Island. We flew into the South Island where we went through customs, and then caught a taxi van that took us to a water taxi. We rode the water taxi about 50yrds to the North Island.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/Copy%202%20of%20DSCN0110.jpg[/img][img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/Copy%202%20of%20DSCN0108.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0109_3.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Once we arrived on the North Island we got checked into our rooms at the Bimini Blue Water Resort. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0116_4.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;and these were rooms with a view&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0117_7.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Once we got checked into the room we all went and found some lunch. Capt. Bob's and CJ's were the diners of choice on the island.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0221_1.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;after a greasy hamburger we all loaded up for the first dive of the trip. We dove with the Keefe's operation, and as is typical on most charters of this type, we had to do a shallow check out dive of sorts first. Well, with this group, we definitely made the most of it. I don't have any underwater photo's yet (I'll get them later this week,) but I do have a lot of top side photos of the dives. I'll lump all the pictures together in no particular order.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/Copy%20of%20DSCN0154.jpg[/img][img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0155_3.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0157_2.jpg[/img][img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0156_3.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0146_2.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We dove Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. By the end of the week some of us were really tired after diving.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0153_3.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We did make the most of the top side activities as well. We all headed out one night to see the sights on Bimini. We stopped first to check out the "government" building, aka the jail, and the medical facitilities. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/Copy%202%20of%20DSCN0124.jpg[/img][img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/Copy%202%20of%20DSCN0125.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Once we determined that the jail could only hold 6 of us we knew we were in for a fun night! We headed out to the Beach Bar for a fun night out. In order to get to the Bimini Beach bar we had to catch the water taxi again, and then load up on the Partridge Family bus for a ride down to the Beach Bar. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0165_5.jpg[/img][img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0161_5.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Of course as you know, MBT has to leave its mark anywhere it has been&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0164_8.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;At the Beach Bar.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0167_3.jpg[/img][img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0168_2.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0175_2.jpg[/img][img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0179_1.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0169_1.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Bimini's version of the moose&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0182_1.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;and a beautiful sunset to end the evening...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;[img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0172_2.jpg[/img][img]http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/images/DSCN0170_3.jpg[/img]&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There is much, much more to be added to this report.

I've logged several dives over the past two weekends ranging in depth from 20-145 feet and all of the sudden I have some intense sinus pressure, my ears pop every time I swallow and I have a toothache across all of my back teeth, top and bottom. I've put Ora-gel on them but it does nothing.. It feels like pressure from behind pushing on them.. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Maybe I'm just paranoid but it's just strange that I would have pain in ALL those teeth after diving. What do you guys think? Has this ever happened to any of you? It seems like I remember something from the certification class about fillings and pressure from diving but it's been a few years and I'm not sure. I have fillings that were done by military dentists and we all know how good the medical care is for military personnel. I'd rather have a veterinarian work on me that those teenage navy doctors that like to carve on Marines.. lol. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Any ideas would be appreciated. I don't go to the doctor unless the bone is sticking out but this is a little strange and I'd like to hear from some of you veteran divers.. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks.. &lt;br&gt;Stephen</description><pubDate>Sun, 05 Oct 2008 16:17:02 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Jarhead</dc:creator></item><item><title>may need a few for a night dive</title><link>http://pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic193593-38-1.aspx</link><description>i know that most of everyone on here are from pcola but i know there are a few from moblie DI miss. i am planning on a night dive friday night for a flounder or two. would anyone be interested in splitting cost. 2 or 3 tank dive all night</description><pubDate>Wed, 01 Oct 2008 13:08:31 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>countryjwh</dc:creator></item><item><title>3 mile bridge</title><link>http://pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic188290-38-1.aspx</link><description>If anyone is going to dive it I just happen to know where you can find a good anchor and chain :banghead:banghead:banghead</description><pubDate>Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:29:34 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>bamasam</dc:creator></item><item><title>GENERAL VIS REPORT FROM FRIDAY 9/26</title><link>http://pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic191192-38-1.aspx</link><description>OK, &lt;br&gt;Yeah we were at the "O" but it was the best I have seen since March.  80'+.  The best news for everyone was that it looked good all of the way out, no brown water anywhere.  Some folks who dove with a class at Pensacola Beach said it was 20+.  It is going to be a beautiful weekend!  If you have a chance, go out and get a dive in.  We have been waiting on this all summer!  :clap</description><pubDate>Fri, 26 Sep 2008 20:20:30 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>dkdiver</dc:creator></item><item><title>Shark Shield</title><link>http://pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic191502-38-1.aspx</link><description>&lt;FONT size=7&gt;Shark Shield performs as advertised&lt;/FONT&gt;.   Two weeks ago, I had three dives with my new Shark Shield but did not see any sharks.  Plenty of blood in the water but no sharks.   Today, on my second dive, I had a stringer of fish on me when I noticed a 5-6 ft shark ( not a bull or black tip)  circling me at about 30 ft.  So far so good.  Then all of a sudden, the shark came directly at me and got to about 15-20 ft before it  suddenly made a 180 turn and sped off.  This happened about three or four times with the same results.  Now feeling extremely confident, I ignored the shark for the rest of the dive.  However, I did notice that it followed me up during my ascent (to about a depth of 40 feet) but never got any closer than 20 ft from me.  Also, it did not charge at me directly anymore.  It just circled.  The visibility was about 35 ft at the time.        </description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Sep 2008 23:52:59 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Orion45</dc:creator></item><item><title>DIVE PROS</title><link>http://pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic182385-38-1.aspx</link><description>I past dive pros today and noticed their sign said something like "Active military free tuition on basic course".

Pickens with some rescue students today, and after drowning a few of them we dove Ft. Pickens. It was low tide, so the viz wasn't great (8-10ft,) but the fish were everywhere! There was a school of 20-30 slot reds all over the jetties. Juve grouper, red snapper, and mangrove snapper covered everything. All in all it was a great day, and 3 divers got introduced to Ft. Pickens!</description><pubDate>Thu, 18 Sep 2008 15:19:35 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>spearfisher</dc:creator></item><item><title>Man Dies Cave Diving</title><link>http://pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic187501-38-1.aspx</link><description>&lt;H1 class=Headline&gt;Man Dies Cave Diving &lt;/H1&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;DIV class=posted&gt;POSTED: 7:52 am EDT September 21, 2008&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV id=storytools style="WIDTH: 290px"&gt;&lt;DIV id=toolbox&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.newsvine.com/_tools/seed?popoff=0&amp;amp;u=http://www.local6.com/news/17522645/detail.html" target=_blank&gt;&lt;IMG class=storytool id=stnewsvineIcon title="NEWSVINE: Man Dies Cave Diving" height=16 src="http://www.local6.com/sh/storytools/storytools_newsvine.gif" width=22 align=left border=0&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;A href="http://del.icio.us/post?title=Man%20Dies%20Cave%20Diving&amp;amp;url=http://www.local6.com/news/17522645/detail.html" target=_blank&gt;&lt;IMG class=storytool id=stdeliciousIcon title="DELICIOUS: Man Dies Cave Diving" height=16 src="http://www.local6.com/sh/storytools/storytools_delicious.gif" width=22 align=left border=0&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;A href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&amp;amp;title=Man%20Dies%20Cave%20Diving&amp;amp;url=http://www.local6.com/news/17522645/detail.html" target=_blank&gt;&lt;IMG class=storytool id=stdiggIcon title="DIGG: Man Dies Cave Diving" height=16 src="http://www.local6.com/sh/storytools/storytools_digg.gif" width=22 align=left border=0&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://www.local6.com/news/17522645/detail.html&amp;amp;t=Man Dies Cave Diving&amp;amp;src=sc&amp;amp;pos=top&amp;amp;from_posted=1" target=_blank&gt;&lt;IMG class=storytool id=stfacebookIcon title="FACEBOOK: Man Dies Cave Diving" height=16 src="http://www.local6.com/sh/storytools/storytools_facebook.gif" width=22 align=left border=0&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;A href="http://reddit.com/submit?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.local6.com%2Fnews%2F17522645%2Fdetail.html&amp;amp;title=Man%20Dies%20Cave%20Diving" target=_blank&gt;&lt;IMG class=storytool id=stredditIcon title="REDDIT: Man Dies Cave Diving" height=16 src="http://www.local6.com/sh/storytools/storytools_reddit.gif" width=22 align=left border=0&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.local6.com/rss/" target=_blank&gt;&lt;IMG class=storytool id=strssIcon title=RSS height=16 src="http://www.local6.com/sh/storytools/storytools_rss.gif" width=22 align=right border=0&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;A href="popUp('/print/17522645/detail.html','width=460,height=400,scrollbars');" target=_self&gt;&lt;IMG class=storytool id=stprintIcon title="PRINT: Man Dies Cave Diving" height=16 src="http://www.local6.com/sh/storytools/storytools_print.gif" width=22 align=right border=0&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;A href='popUp("http://cf.local6.com/orlpn/sh/toafriend/index.cfm?page=http://www.local6.com/news/17522645/detail.html","width=450,height=250");' target=_self&gt;&lt;IMG class=storytool id=stemailIcon title="EMAIL: Man Dies Cave Diving" height=16 src="http://www.local6.com/sh/storytools/storytools_email.gif" width=22 align=right border=0&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;LINK href="/css/13260803/style.css" type=text/css rel=stylesheet&gt;&lt;DIV class=StoryBody id=ms__id35918&gt;&lt;!--startindex--&gt;&lt;B class=Dateline&gt;PANAMA CITY, Fla. -- &lt;/B&gt;Authorities in the Florida Panhandle said a Texas man is dead after a cave dive.
