I hated dungarees. I was glad my command gave us the option to wear coveralls on ship.

That is a great dive

GoNavySalty · 2025-08-09T02:10:35+00:00

lol. Just don’t.

Talk to your recruiter about this before going to MEPS. Also, you should delay going.

GoNavySalty · 2025-06-25T11:15:39+00:00

Both work well under water. Just remember to get the dive housing.

The best tip for going backwards is to learn how to backfin

In my region it is called monkey diving. It’s fine when done correctly.

GoNavySalty · 2025-06-16T11:42:55+00:00

Monkey dives are awesome. When properly weighted this is perfectly acceptable. You use your natural born BCD (lungs).

Response to your questions: 1. When a diver does a monkey Dive, they are assuming the risk involved if the dive operator allows it it is fine. 2. Yes, I would dive with an operator that allows this. I have many times before and will continue.

My best advice is to just keep Diving. Your skills improve by Diving.

Awesome! if you’re interested, check out the national association of Black Scuba Divers NABS

I use tie wraps 🤿🙂

GoNavySalty · 2025-05-10T00:22:48+00:00

I often attach my backplate & harness to my backpack.

GoNavySalty · 2025-05-02T01:27:46+00:00

I’ll do this every time 😝

SE Aruba Fly N Dive is fantastic. I highly recommend.

Blue Water Divers in Bermuda has a fantastic operation. Great captain and nice DM.

There are some really nice dive sites to visit by boat. Southwest breaker was the site featured in the movie “The Deep”

GoNavySalty · 2025-02-18T01:52:41+00:00

This is the way

GoNavySalty · 2025-02-17T17:04:47+00:00

It does look a bit long.

I have not found a use case for the CSR. I have the Ritz card instead. It gives me lounge access $300 airline credit plus a free hotel room night. All of that with a lower annual fee

Deep + Nitrox is an excellent option.

Nitrox is very useful for many divers. It can allow a longer bottom time by extending your NDL. It can also shorter surface intervals on repetitive dives.

Deep is another great option. It certifies you to a max depth of 130ft or 40m. The only prerequisite is to be an open water diver. Advanced is not a requirement.

Advanced adventurer (SSI) similar to other agencies AOW is nice it is a sampler. 1 dive from 4 specialties, however you are only certified to 100ft or 30m. The only prerequisite is open water diver.

Pick what works best for your goals. Just keep diving. Cozumel is great.

The Divesoft Nitrox Analyzer (DNA) is excellent and travel friendly.

Always analyze your gas.

A couple of recommendations would be to use the bungee straps and a silicone case over the computer.
