    Any of you folks care to share the name of the dive op. you're using? Or a good place to stay? I keep hearing good things about Malta and am interested in checking it out, so any clues would be appreciated. Thanks,

    Michigan Underwater Preserves

    Well, Joe. There just ain't many shore dives I know of. Alger has a shore dive on what I think is the old city pier. Just did that dive Sunday. It's diving amongst the pilings. Max depth of 16 feet (that's all I've found). Not hugely exciting, just a laid-back dive. I know of no shore...

    Planning to go to Roatan

    I've flown Houston to Roatan 9 times. Never had luggage not arrive with me, though a friend's luggage once took 3 days. Go figure. As far as an agent, I've always stayed at CocoView and booked through their Roatan Charters subsidiary (based in Miami). For what it's worth...

    May I suggest Scapa Flow when you're done with AOW? Just got back from there and the diving is just tremendous. Cheers.

    Is your spouse/so your dive buddy?

    Yes, she is. She said she was with me because "you might have some fun I wouldn't have!" And I SOOOO glad she did. I'd have never gotten to the places we've gotten to by myself. i.e. Scapa Flow 7/3 Thanks, Honey.

    Is there any help for an Uncoordinated newbee?

    Diana, Couple of things. In a 3mm in warm water, you'll have less weight. Second, if you take that weight and place it near the front of your pelvic wings and use weight retainers, there should be much less chance of the weights shifting. (additionally it'll help keep you "in the position I...

    Hi All from the U.P.

    If you're diving with Pete Linduist, get him talking about the wrecks. The guy has a great sense of humor and knows a ton about boat construction, etc. I found Munising fun, laid-back diving.

    Lost Diver Interview

    I have one concern. Since he believes God saved him, will he continue doing asinine stunts, endangering himself AND OTHERS because he believes, no matter what, that God will bail him out?

    AKA or Coco???

    At Coco there's no TV, no radio, no telephone readily available. Entertainment is make-your-own. I went to AKR to hear two local musicians playing in the bar. The dress was fancier, the crowd noisier, the tv (tuned to CNN) played the whole while the musicians did. No judgment intended...

    Coco View? Roatan in July? Do's & Don'ts?

    Sue, Wouldn't you know. We're there the 10th thru the 17th. But we'll tell Nayda to keep some beer cold for you. And if you like rum, ask Billy about Flor de Caña. Enjoy.

    Coco View? Roatan in July? Do's & Don'ts?

    TropiGal, I know what you mean. We're going in August (10th trip) and can hardly wait. Except that diving Scapa Flow is July, I'd be "rushing the calendar" too.

    Coco View? Roatan in July? Do's & Don'ts?

    DO take repellant. DO take your best computer, because you... DO dive your brains out. DO a night dive on the "Prince Albert", preferably before or after the crowd. DO go out to dinner at Romeo's (Coco can set it up for you). Have a great time. (I know you will)

    Scuba Diver Terrorists?

    We're going over to Pt. Edward to dive Saturday. I know I'll have no problem getting into Canada, but it'll be interesting to see how we're treated coming back.
