    What about Malibu v Ranger v Escape?

    I'd love to hear your reaction, especially if you have tried on the Ranger and Escape too.

    Hello from Alabama

    Welcome--we're in Montgomery and try to dive PC a couple times a year but the weather always thwarts us on the few days we can get down there. Who is your local dive shop? We LOVE Sea Divers in Ozark and just discovered Divers Den--nice folks. But we've started to dive more with Hydrospace...

    What about Malibu v Ranger v Escape?

    Safety and the lone female in the Red Sea?

    Louie You've received some excellent advice. I went to Sharm on my own in Dec 93, on a liveaboard run by Sinai Divers. I've since dived with Oonasdivers and thought both were well-run. I spent three days in Cairo roaming around on my own--as others have said, just be firm when...
