    Beginner dive location near London

    We dove Innerkip this past Monday. Viz = 6' - 10' Temp about 70F Very slight thermo @ 20'. Had a great dive. HOWEVER the surface animal life can be a bit disturbing unless you enjoy watching lots of ugly people ( and a few not so ugly ones) drinking beer and smoking up. Not as bad as in...

    Curacao: Lodge Kura Hulanda or Sunset Waters

    We were at Sunset Waters in early March and absolutely loved it. The size of the resort was just right and if you don't mind quiet relaxation after some great diving, then this is a good choice. Sunset Divers - the onsite dive op was wonderful. They went out of their way for everyone and...

    Bare Nex-gen or CD4 ???

    Ditto on the 2mm. I have been diving the Bare XCD2 for several years. My buddy finally switched from a regular 7mm neo dry suit to the XCD2 this year and is ecstatic. Neil

    Curacao

    Suppposedly it is very good. We did 1 night dive at the house reef but were a bit dissapointed - based on everything we had been told about it as a night site. Based on what we saw during the daytime, I'd think it would be excellent, though on most nights. One problem for us could have been...

    Curacao

    Returned from Sunset Waters 2 weeks ago - absolutely loved it. Sunset divers are fantastic and the house reef is great and really easy to get to. One tip - if you are planning on spending some beach time - wear aqua socks - lots of small rocks in and out of the water. When diving - keep your...

    Curacao and Shore Diving

    Just returned from Curacao Wed. evening. Sunset Waters is EXCELLENT and the dive op - Sunset Divers is fabulous. Shore diving on the house reef is great and the available boat dives are really good. I'd go right back tomorrow, if I could. Big animals are not the norm but we did get to see a...

    Curacao Trip Report - Sunset Waters/Sunset Divers

    Waterktn, Thanks for the report. We're booked at SW for March 1st and I can't wait to get there. This sounds like a VERY relaxing dive vacation. Good news also about the veggie issue. My son has booked the AOW course and it sounds like they'll be most accomodating. I think this is the type...

    Bare XCD2 Dry Suit

    I'm into my second season with the XCD2 Pro and I love it! While the insulation value of the compressed neoprene is not good, the advantage is in the heat of the summer, you can adjust your undies to suit - I sure don't sweat like my 7mm dry suit buddy! The wieght (light) and flexibiltiy are...

    Diving Lake Joseph

    Lake Joseph is NW of Lake Muskoka - near Lake Rosseau. Very scenic, apparently some really good walls, etc. You might want to check with Scuba Shack in Gravenhurst as well as some of the local shops in in the GTA. Try a Google search, also. Cheers, Neil

    Bare CD4

    You should also look at the Bare XCD2Pro. I am more than pleased that I went with the XCD2 instead of the CD4. My buddy dives with a full thickness neo dry suit and he sweats bullets. I am more than comfortable in my compressed neo suit. Varying the underwear is great and increases the...

    Lyman Davis "block" question

    MarvinTPA - wonderful shots of the Davis. It has been 21 years since I was on her and 60' viz sure beats the 9' with lights on that we had! I can even see the spot where I hung on to the side of the ship staring at the remains of the deck. Thanks for reviving some memories.

    Xcd2

    I've had my XCD2Pro - back zip - for about a month now and I absolutely love it! Thanks Warren for being one of those who helped convince me to get it instead of the Nex-Gen. The ease of entry/exit, comfort and ease of use are major pluses. The suit is comfortable and really helps reduce the...

    TRILAM vs compressed neoprene

    I've just started diving the Bare XCD2 and I absolutely love it. Comfort, ease of donning and doffing, relatively light weight, and very durable. I am extremely happy that my LDS talked me out of the Nex-Gen (poorer, but happier). I found that at this time of year, at least, the suit dries...

    Port Maitland

    If you can post a dive report on the Waterford quarry, that would be excellent -- along with some directions as to how to find the place (assuming its worth it) :10:

    Jackson point Wreck Lake Simcoe ??

    Speaking of Jackson's Point - we were just there on Sunday, diving on the marine railway - AKA fish killing zone. Does anyone know what's up with the construction equipment and dock materials? Is our nice little fish hook dodging dive site under threat of extermination? It looks as if the...
