I start at $5 per per person per tank and work up from there (or down on a very rare occassion) if the level of service deserves it, i.e. taking the boat down to Punta Sur and diving Devil's Throat. That rate seems to be the local standard in Cozumel and many other places. However, keep in...

Without any question, Liquid Blue.

Both my wife and I have the Atomic B2 with swivel and we love them. Great regs and the swivel and mouth piece are great. My wife has TMJ and before the B2 used a comfo bite mouthpiece to keep the jaw fatigue in line. With the swivel and the Atomic mouthpiece she has been very happy (she did...

Natasha, Aside from the cost, which I agree they are on the higher side of the price spectrum (I guess that's what happens when a dive op has a near monopoly on an island), any comments on the operation, the DM's, typical profile/procedures, etc.? Thanks,

Thank you. From which location did you dive with them? What size of boat? What was the determining factor for dive profiles (computers and air or set time and air)? Number of divers and DM's on boat? Thanks,

Assuming I have a choice of more than one dive operator for the location (not always the case), I use several sources to gather information to gauge the quality of dive services for the particular dive operation. The sources include emails to the operator, examination of their web site, and...

I would agree with the previous suggestions on working with your wife-to-be to become certified. It creates a common activity to bond over and you'll get the most trusted buddy you can imagine. I see from your profile that you're in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Assuming she is in that area with you...

We are planning a trip to Virgin Gorda in May 2005 and we are looking for recommendations or comments on the dive operators for Virgin Gorda. Dive BVI has come highly recommended. It looks like other than Sun Chaser located at Bitter End YC, Dive BVI is the only one servicing Virgin Gorda; is...

With regard to St. Martin, do you stay on St. Martin and then dive the waters of Saba each day by boat? If so, is it better to stay on the Dutch or French part of St. Martin?

I'm interested in getting opinions on what Caribbean island meets all of the following criteria: 1. Great beaches (white or close to it sand with little wave action); 2. Good diving; and 3. Some top side activities for non dive days and for the non divers in our group. Prior to...

Can any one provide some insight on staying in the Mahoe Bay area or the Leverick Bay area of Virgin Gorda? I'm interested in information on the quality of beaches in the two areas, accomodations in the two areas and ease to get to dive operation departure point as well as other information...

Has anyone seen any information on how much damage Ivan inflicted on GC's reefs/dive sites?

An excellent choice. Breathes very easily. Well built. I'm very pleased with it. My only complaint, and it's a very minor one, (actually not really a complaint, more of an observation and tip) is the cleaning process for it. The Atomics have a seat saver feature that holds the valve off the...

Both my wife and I have 3/2 Xcel wetsuits. So far, so good. Nice fit. Good value and a year later still in good shape.

Sink the Stink. It's awesome. Do a quick rinse of gear with clean water with the garden hose, fill up the bath tub with warm water, add Sink the Stink, let soak a little while, remove and viola. Everything smells good. :dazzler1:

To the original poster: you should try calling LP. I bet you get a better response. Work your way up the chain of command in customer service. I have never had an email replied to by LP.

I'm also on my 3rd Atmos 2 computer. I know others have found Aeris' customer service to be good, however, my personal experience with them was some of the worst customer service I ever experienced from any company.

We were in Grand Cayman. My wife, my father in law and I decided to do the stingray city dive. After we were done playing with the stingrays, we ventured out to find the resident green moray eels. The DM was leading us and my father in law was ahead of my wife and I but slightly back from the...

On Grand Cayman's east end is Morritt's Tortuga Club, which I think is an RCI property. They have a Little Turtles Club to take care of the little ones while diving. For non-RCI properties, there are many hotels and resorts with kid's programs or arrangements for babysitting. For...

We have two of these bags we use for all our gear and cloths. I agree that these LLB bags are incredible. They hold alot are made like extremely well. Interestingly, I ordered one last summer and then ordered another this early spring. They were made quite different. The one purchased in...
