    Sudden Fear of Diving

    Maybe your body is sending some signals to your brain that something is awry, but not quite at a level where it is obvious when you're walking around on the street. I'd start with a solid physical, with emphasis on cardiac health. Once you're square there, you might try exploring issues related...

    General liveaboard question

    I'd look at other dive clubs that are running to places you would like to try, the bigger the better. Far easier to find strays in larger groups.

    Diving in Mexico Suggestions & Tips

    I'll chime in another vote for Puerto Morelos - great food and gorgeous beaches; there are some nice little posadas in addition to the resorts, and several dive shops along with protected reef. There's also a fun, easy wreck. You're also within about 40 minutes of a dozen diveable cenotes...

    SDHC I do recommend seasick remedies - I’d never had problems in the past, but we did the Cairns to Lizard Island leg and were moving hellbent for leather every night after dinner and swells were really big that time of year.I threw up to the point of dry heaves every single morning; my gut...

    They had a really decent setup as I remember, including a standard SD slot and enough juice to move sizable files to sticks. When I was on it, a RAN officer gave me a stick with her pdf report and background data on bleaching through the 1st quarter of 2017. Keep in mind that Gary Farr is the...

    Who, precisely, are we not permitted to criticize on this board?

    Good point on her - can’t believe her lawyers went out that far on that limb, though. Hopefully, they were on an hourly. I note that She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has a LinkedIn account and appears to be still selling that region.

    Who, precisely, are we not permitted to criticize on this board?

    Found it - just...wow. Incredibly frivolous. It took a lot of restraint to not request sanctions against the plaintiff’s lawyers for filing it.

    Am guessing you get out of a jam with them the same way you do with remora - blow air at its face.

    Choosing our perfect diving destination

    I would also pitch Bonaire. I think there is a direct KLM flight from Amsterdam and a BA flight from London, since you’re based in Europe. A lot of the diving is really forgiving and simple, and while there isn’t much beach on the island itself, there are a lot of day boats running to the...

    Choosing our perfect diving destination

    For convenience, I really enjoy Puerto Morelos, about halfway between Playa Del Carmen and Cancun. It is a working fishing town with decent dive shops, inexpensive accommodations, great food, two dollar beach beers and a lively square. The reef there is decent and pretty safe for less...

    Hey, we live and learn in this sport - I’m willing to admit when I’m being reckless (unlike my significant other, a vampire who breathes no air and will always haul me down to the depths for yet another sight while ignoring my frantic signals about air). I just hope others have that same...

    Who, precisely, are we not permitted to criticize on this board?

    From the peanut gallery, let me just say that this dispute is a helluvalot better than most reality TV - and it is brought about from a pretty heavy handed moderation policy that isn’t helping to clarify issues in the sport after a recent tragedy. I’d like to say that it is coming from...

    Fire on dive boat Conception in CA

    I assume that for investigative bureaucracies looking at a mass death event, they initiate their work with every possibility on the table and need to have police muscle to assure that records and testimony are delivered in an honest fashion. Note that the FBI has a specialty dive unit which is...
