I was in Roatan for 2 weeks in June 2007, and we stayed at Hidden Garden Cabins. Roosters got you down? Wait 'til you hear a 2-pound piece of tropical fruit hitting a metal roof at 3:00 a.m. Actually the cabins are pretty nice, with kitchenette and fans (but no A/C). They are also...

I arrived in Freeport, Bahamas via a direct flight on US Airways from Charlotte, NC on Sunday, October 7. The plane was on time (actually a bit ahead of schedule), and none of my luggage was lost or damaged. The cost of my round-trip ticket was $342.00. The airport is large, modern, spacious...

I'm okay with back rolls now, but I hurt my lower back in Cozumel last year. I got in a hurry and didn't get my rear-end far enough out over the water. When I rolled back, my lower back rolled over the edge of the boat. I was able to finish the dive and even climbed the ladder unassisted to...

I believe Delta starts service to Bonaire in Feb. 2008.

I'll be there Oct. 7 - 14, diving with Fred & Melinda Oct. 8 - 12. Looks like we'll miss each other by a couple of days.

I will also be in Freeport in a couple of weeks for my first trip to the Bahamas. I did a lot of research on this forum, and chose Grand Bahama Scuba.

They were deep dives, and I was pushing the no-deco limits. The last couple of days, I spent some time talking the dive op into letting me keep diving everyday. They said I had dived on more consecutive days than they allowed their Divemasters. The rest of the time, I suppose I wasted just...

I spent 2 weeks in Roatan in June. I dived everyday for 13 straight days, some dives were repeated, but the diving was so great that I really didn't mind. Spooky Channel was strange and fascinating; one minute you're plodding along in near-darkness with 15 foot viz, the next minute you're...

Rick, Where are you getting this info, and is the reduction "permanent"? (Their website still says $32 per day)

About the time I left FL in the late 1980's, I recall a case where some guys in a canoe entered a spring from a river to test the law (it may have been Weeki Wachee Springs, but I'm not sure). Anyway, they got cited for trespassing, and they showed up in court. So did the owners of the spring...

Congrats on getting certified. Someone asked me once whey I shut down a very successful Internet-based business, and I said it was because the business was interfering with my diving. They laughed because they thought I was making a joke, but I was serious. :) Be safe & keep learning

I did a week of diving in June 2006 with Peter at Protech, and enjoyed every minute of it. His operation, and his crew, are top-notch.

Congrats on getting your cert! I look back on getting certified the same way that I think of getting my 1st driver's license many years ago. I learned enough to get my license, but I didn't really learn how to drive until I got out on the road and put on a lot of miles. Keep learning, and...

I was in Roatan for 2 weeks in June and dived everyday with my full length 4/3. It was a bit "overkill" at times, but I also got chilled a few times, too. However, I'm very slender and tend to get cold easily. Overall, I was glad I took the 4/3, and will take it on my next Roatan trip (even...

I dived with Silent World in 2006, and had a very good experience with them. Their 10-dive special is probably the best diving value in the Keys. About half their trips are to relatively shallow reefs and wrecks (30 - 40 ft.) and often snorkelers are on-board with divers. However, some of...

I'm not sure if I'm diving on Saturday or Sunday next week-end. If it's Saturday, I'll stop by and say hello. I might be able to talk Lance Young into coming, though he is still recovering from shoulder surgery and can't dive yet. I made 3 dives at the diver's ramp today (Monday, May 21)...

This reminded me of something that happened last year at Jocassee. I was following the line down, looking for the forest. I was shining my light around, but couldn't see much. Then I swam right into a tree and hit my head pretty good. Ever since that day, the old saying of "can't see the...

Thanks for the info. I'll be diving with Coconut Tree Divers in June.

Thanks for the info, I'll be in Roatan next month.
