Everything you need to know
Dive on the Emerald Charters 42-foot Dive Boat | www.emeraldcha...
This big 42 footer is USCG certified. It's a 3 Tank Trip that leaves daily at 8:30 am and returns at approximately 2:30 pm. These 3 Tank Dive Trips aboard the Emerald are best done on 36% Nitrox. If you are an air diver, you can do The 3 dives to your computer’s limit and still catch the action. But your action will be limited. The trek includes a gourmet box lunch.
EAN 100 CF Steel Tanks can be rented, EAN 80 CF Alum Tanks can be rented. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you go with the Steel 100s
If you need tanks delivered to the boat, call Sasha, the Emerald concierge, at (305) 389-9333 or email him at sasha@jupiterscuba.com
You will need to arrange your gear and tanks.
Sharks feed by contrast. No white or yellow fins or masks allowed. For your safety!
You will need to wear a full wetsuit including gloves. It is best to cover all your skin. If your fins are slip-on, wear a pair of black socks to cover your ankles. If you have blond hair or long hair, wear a beanie or hood.
Safety first!
Three Reasons to Use Nitrox
1. Longer bottom times - Safely get the most out of your dive time when using Nitrox. For example, a diver using 36% Nitrox on a 90-foot dive will have significantly more time than a diver using air.
2. Shorter Surface Intervals - With Nitrox, you absorb less nitrogen than a diver breathing air. Therefore, the amount of nitrogen needed to off-gas is much less. The less off-gassing time means you are back in the water faster.
3. Longer Repetitive Dives - This comes in handy when you are doing two or three-tank dives. A diver using Nitrox will have more bottom time.
Good Divers Wanted
The characteristics of a good diver are not certifiable. Good divers usually have the following in common:
A good diver shows up promptly for the dive. They do not leave everyone hanging and do not "no show" after confirming. This sort of behavior is not courteous and adds tension to all the other divers enjoying a relaxing day.
Before attempting an advanced dive, a good diver has dived in the last year in the conditions he is about to dive or "warms up" with a dive or two in easier conditions. We don't go from Quarry to 110' deep ledge without doing a couple of ocean dives first.
Your gear changes over time. When a good diver changes gear configuration he will not attempt to multi-task before the new gear has been "broken-in." If you change wetsuits, you should do your next dive sightseeing and skip hunting or photography until you are comfortable with the new gear. Accidents happen because you have exceeded your margin of error. Increase the safety margin by limiting your activities while reconfiguring gear.
The best divers have their buoyancy under control AT ALL TIMES. Good divers know about how much weight they need and do not exceed the amount of lead needed to just get off the surface. When you get off the boat with too much lead, you have to constantly adjust your BC as you change depth. In the event of an out of air emergency, you are going to be fighting to dump weight or drown. A good diver should be neutral at the bottom or slightly negative if you use Aluminum tanks. A diver that can't get off the surface because they are holding their breath and then crash the reef as they descend, needs to take a course in Peak Performance Buoyancy. All advanced activities like Photography or Spearfishing rely on good buoyancy control. More by you than your BC.
Stay Calm. Relax. Enjoy the sport.

My dad was a cageless shark feeder I only did shark dive once but I feel scared to go on another dive
Yo. I am thinking about going with Emerald Charts in October this year. I have dived all over, Bora Bora, Caribbean, Mexico etc....but, have not done any for about 15 years. SO, do I need to be an 'Advanced Diver' to see a shark dive ? I will be taking a Pool refresher before I come. I am PADI certified.
Hey! You are very experienced. That’s what they’re looking for. The a cert is more formality and for liability! However since you’ve been out of the water a while, you’d wanna get a few dives in before the shark dive. You’ll be fine. Hey, why not do get your advanced cert instead of a refresher so you’re fully prepared for the shark dive.. that’s what I’d do if I were in your shoes.
So a group of sharks are called a shiver if you didn’t know.
You got that right. They’ll make one shiver 😱
how much did the gear cost you to rent in total?
I dive with my own gear. I just rent tanks and weights. But in general, the price varies depending on what gear you need. For this particular dive, I encourage you to take all your gear (rentals or own) to the boact because the rental options by the boat may be limited.
@@edoluTV thank you!
these are the same sharks that have gotten so used to taking fish from humans, that when the commercial divers and spearos go out, the sharks come to take the fish from them and get put down with a powerhead. good shit. I love stabbing me some sharks but I enjoy them more from a distance
Hmmm
@@edoluTV hmmm indeed
