    Leisure Pro

    I'm a happy Lesiure Pro customer. I got a great price on my Suuto Vyper, which has performed flawlessly. I would, of course, prefer the manufacturer's warranty, but Leisure Pro's own warranty appears to be a decent substitute. For non-mechanical gear, I would be even less reluctant to buy...

    Video of Spiegel Grove on CNN website

    Excellent video footage. I really enjoyed my pre-Dennis dives on the Grove and I am looking forward to diving her in her new upright condition.

    Mountain pass after diving

    I'd like to follow up with my own question. My wife and I are considering diving with Parguera Divers in Puerto Rico next weekend. I have been told that on the drive back to San Juan the highest elevation is approximately 2000 feet. We would reach that elevation briefly approximately...

    Sharks in Bora Bora & Moorea

    I'd be surprised if you see any sharks while snorkeling in either Bora Bora or Moorea. Unless you are on a specific shark feeding trip. In any event, I wouldn't worry about it one bit. We went diving with Top Dive on both islands and saw a ton of black tips and lemons. If you are a diver...

    Just returned from Cozumel...

    I just returned from five days in Cozumel and had the same experience in terms of visability as viejo. Columbia Deep experienced fairly significant reef damage. I heard Columbia Shallows is even worse, though I did not dive there. Punta Sur, on the other hand, was fine. What did seem...

    Spiegel Grove uprighted by Hurricane Dennis !!??

    I'm not sure I understand why the dive would be deeper now. I would expect a slightly shallower dive as the ship became upright (unless the hurricane really did a number on the sand below). What am I missing?

    Any experience with Cha Cha Cha?

    I have an upcoming trip to Cozumel. One of the dive ops my friend and I are considering is Cha Cha Cha Dive Shop. Has anybody used them before? Reviews?

    Spiegel Grove uprighted by Hurricane Dennis !!??

    Wow! Incredible story. I just dove the Grove on Memorial Day weekend. Now I will have to return and see her in her new upright position. That a hurricane hundreds of miles away can move such a large ship speaks volumes about the power of Mother Nature. While I am sure the authorities...

    Experience with Canon Elph A400?

    Thanks, Dee. Do I need to use mask defogger on the inside of the case as well?

    Experience with Canon Elph A400?

    Steve: Do you keep the silica-gel moisture bag inside the case when the camera is also inside, or only when the case itself is empty? Thanks for the tip. I just bought the WP-DC800 and am looking forward to my first foray into underwater photography next weekend.

    Ocean's Window Plano/ San Antonio CLOSED

    It's too bad about the San Antonio closing of Ocean's Window. That's where my wife and I got certified. Our instructor and many of the store personnel were really good people. And, IMHO, the San Antonio dive market is now underserved.

    Palm Beach vs. Ft. Lauderdale: where should we dive?

    My wife and I are headed to South Florida for Easter weekend and can dive either in Palm Beach or Ft. Lauderdale. Please help us decide where and with whom to dive! From what I have read on this board, Rodale's, and elsewhere it seems that Palm Beach is for drift diving and has better coral...

    The great big, all-inclusive Leisure Pro note

    I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, but I'm new to this :) . . . I'm a fairly new diver interested in purchasing a dive computer (wrist mounted) before an upcoming trip to Hawaii. Since my OW certification, I've become addicted to diving, enjoying dives in Cozumel twice (two...
