Here's a scan of the dive map we used for the week - the highlighted ones are the ones we did that week at least once... http://www.robisonpics.com/Vacation/Bonaire-2010/Dive-Site-Map-copy/928128238_XUfPF-X3.jpg

My son and I dove Bonaire for the first time last year. We booked our trip with Harry Neumann at Tropical Divers who provided the typical package - apartment, truck with tank rack, free unlimited nitrox. They also inisted on (and included in the price) a guide for our first couple of dives...

I live in Atlanta - and I love the upper Keys. Specifically, I would suggest Conch Republic just south of Key Largo. Tell them that you are newly certified and let them take you on some shallow dives for experience. There are some really terrific dives in the 25-30 ft range with so much coral...

Wow! So glad to see these photos. Great shots. I was seriously considering a Canon G12 to replace my old Nikon L22, and these photos prove that the camera is capable of some terrific photos. Now if only this photographer can learn the necessary skills... Thanks for posting these. Nice...

Perhaps the OP will be so kind as to repost the story here, to give us the benefit of the facts as she reported them.

I was looking forward to reading your story, but sadly disappointed that your paper does not allow visitors to read your content - instead insisting on a paid subscription.:shakehead:

Hundreds of killer whales seen in Gulf of Mexico - USATODAY.com From 2009

The videographers at Anthony's Key were able to shoot some video segments of Orca whales down there a couple of years ago. I was very surprised to hear of them in warm Caribbean waters, but there are more than a few sightings in the Gulf of Mexico, also...

In case you are still considering diving or snorkeling the frigid water that comes out of Buford Dam below Lake Lanier, you must be aware that the Corps of Engineers releases water from the dam for electric power generation and sometimes just to augment the flow of water in the river to satisfy...

I always carry a large SMB, a pair of sea snips, and have my DAN tag is attached to my BC (it has a mirror on the back for emergency signalling. I also have a Dive Alert 2 for both underwater audible signalling as well as doubling as an air horn on the surface - 100 times louder than a storm...

I had a nice time diving with Tilden's out of Marathon, and my ATF in the keys is Conch Republic. If you decide to dive in Marathon, Sombrero Reef and lighthouse is fun - lots of fish and pretty corals but all shallow dives - 25-35 ft. We also dove on Flagler's Barge with Tilden's and loved...

I responded without seeing Afterdark's response. I should have just said "ditto!" He said the same thing with fewer words. Now if I could just streamline my dive gear, I could probably improve my SAC - lower my risk and improve my enjoyment even more.... :fail:

The one thing you can count on is this: No matter how you choose to live your life or what risks you choose to take - or avoid - NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE! We all are going to die somehow, someway, sometime. You can choose to live in fear of dying, or you can study the risks, educate yourself and...

I haven't had time to put up a full trip report, but here's what I found when I got there: LIONFISH: 2 years ago - NO lionfish. This time, we saw 5 on our first dive and at least one or two on almost every dive we did, and we got in more than 20 dives over the course of the week. We saw two...

On a dive last week in Roatan, one of the divers on our boat got into deco on the second dive of the morning. We had all done a deep wreck dive only an hour earlier, and I don't think this diver was paying attention to his dive computer on this dive; he had less than 500 psi remaining when the...

I lost a red Nikon L22 digital camera in an acrylic Ikelite housing on Thursday morning, June 30 on the wreck of the Odyssey in Roatan, Honduras.. I penetrated the superstructure at the stern of the wreck at about 105 feet and followed the stairwell up 5 levels to near the wheelhouse where I...

Remote chance here, I know... but; I was diving on the wreck of the Odyssey on Thursday morning, June 30 and lost my underwater camera. It was lost in or around the stern superstructure and/or wheelhouse on an early morning dive. The location of the wreck is approx: 16°20'13.84"N and...

Just came back from AKR - this is a first-rate operation. It was my second trip and I think you will be very happy there. Divers and non-divers alike. The pool facility is very nice. There is a riding stable on-premise and they have lots of great activities for kids. They have the nicest...

At least he's honest about being politically incorrect. Perhaps if he had the chance to have a personal experience with sharks, he might actually have a different opinion about it. I am happy to report that I will be on a shark dive next week IN HONDURAS as this bill is being signed into law...

The only dive app I have for the iPhone is Nitrox Tools - it is terrific for dive planning, blending (top up / bleed down) to achieve desired mixes, and calculating your best mix for different dive plans. I use it mainly for planning - it will let you enter your max PPO2 and your Contingency...
