The RK-3s are neutral in seawater (the tips float just at the surface if you let them go). They're great for warm water wetsuit diving, and I even wear them with my drysuit in colder weather.

Enjoy! It’s a great dive site. I’ll be diving it next on June 2

Objects that are filled with air clearly compress as you take them to depth. Those that are liquid-filled, like an egg yolk which has no air, just stay together and the water pressure keeps them intact. Like taking a 100% full water bottle down--there is no impact.

Glad it helped! Let me know what you build.

I will keep my eye out for that one!

Definitely not! The goliaths are beautiful and let you get pretty close.

Thanks, will do!

I’ll post an update when I take it out next.

@@reefball1 awesome be good to see I'll be doing the same as yours cheers

Update-the rack works great on the ocean. I inserted a thick wooden broom handle from home depot into the long PVC length to ensure it had extra strength (not sure if it needs it). I also added a couple extra longer bungees to hold up cylinders that are attached to BCDs and regulators.

@@reefball1 awesome thank you very much for the update I'm definitely going to give it a try myself cheers

How far does your long pvc pipe sit under the gunnell? Also, do you think the screws in the rods holders will be strong enough? Any changes you would make now?

99% exhilarating! Come diving in South Florida sometime!

ok 7 months later. How was your trip to the barrier reefs 2019. All my professors are telling me the reefs are dying from bleaching. What percentage of the barrier reefs are healthy vs. not so healthy? What is the real science behind the eco system of the reefs today compared to 50 years ago? Is there temperature data in the oceans near the reefs that I can look at? Basically, i can't get facts, cause my professors telling me one thing and scuba divers say another.

@@laturista1000 the reef isnt one reef, its many. Some of them are bleached and dying, some arent.

@@seiyuokamihimura5082 good observation. So how does that relate to the whole topic of the waters and ecosystem of all the choral reefs in that area? Healthy, unhealthy overall?

luvlethalwhites The boat was about half singles (including me) and diving with the group and others was not at all a problem. I highly recommend it!

Yeah? Well that's good to know. I just figured it would be mostly couples and groups. Looks like the whale-watching is all full for 2017 but considering 2018.

I'm going single April 15-22, divers know divers, there's always a buddy to find, hope to meet some great people.

I am an experienced, low stress, cautious diver, and its pretty easy to find like-divers, I've met wonderful divers from around the world and even though we didn't speak the same language on board, it was all the same language under water...

Yeah? I just put my deposit down and paid for my flight for this same week. Awesome! I did pay extra for a single supplement (room to myself) as I'm a horrible insomniac - and I just like my privacy. Looking very forward to the trip!
