Web Monkey and Teamcasa - You are both exactly right. She was right to be angry with me and I should never have left her, even for a moment. I appreciate the feedback. I want to be a safe diver and a reliable dive buddy and I really didn't do well on either count that time. I posted the...

Let me suggest what NOT to do.... My girlfriend, who I love dearly, decided to get certified and found that assimilating all the information and demonstrating all the skills was a challenge. In the pool, the combination of cool water, low body fat and general nervousness translated into near...

Hey - I'm going to Anthony's Key in a couple of weeks and was planning to do the shark dive. I was under the impression that AKR farmed out the experience to Waihuka. The other videos I've seen that were from Waihuka are in about 70 feet of water and they have you backed up against a 10' high...

What a great post RoatanMan. I'm coming to AKR the 4th - 11th for my first trip out of the states to dive and I have learned a lot from reading your posts - not just about Roatan specifically, but about diving in general. If I run into you on Roatan, the beer is on me!!!

I have been shopping for a bag I can use to transport my gear on my first trip out of the country. I'm going to Roatan in early April and needed a way to get my dive gear there securely and in one piece. Many thanks to the people here at SB, for sharing their ideas and experiences! I have the...

Happy to report that my GF of almost two years wants to work things out between us. I am still crazy in love with her, so that is welcome and happy news. Thanks for the kind words of support... I needed them. It was a terrible week. Best to all.... RM

I'm going to AKR from April 4 - 11. This will be my first trip to Roatan. I will take pictures and write an extensive review, and let you know what I think... My dive buddy bailed on me! Anyone else planning to be there that week?

As a relatively new diver I'd like to recite what I would have tried to do in this situation (even though there really are very few details given). I just want to hear from some more experienced divers - I would be going through my list of do's and don'ts when faced with a sitation like this...

I'm sure your mileage may vary - but after thinking about scuba for a long time, I decided to opt for a resort course offered at a well-known, all-inclusive resort in Jamaica. I paid $80 to take the course which consisted (I kid you not!) of 15 minutes in the pool, learning to inflate and...

Quick note... just got back! Had a great time in and around the middle keys. We dove the Sombrero reef (AKA Walmart Parking Lot) which was crowded with boats, but still a fun reef with lots to see and easy access (hence the popularity). We also dove the wreck of the Ivory, and Flagler's...

I am new to Scuba Board - and I am planning a trip to Marthon Key this next week. I am planning to dive with Tildens. Anyone had any experience with them recently? They were recommended to me, but I can't seem to find much in the way of reviews... Any suggestions or comments are welcome...
