    Info SCTLD closures on Bonaire

    Do you think it's doing any good? If so, please elaborate exactly on how and why you think so. It seems very trendy these days, to take the position that anything is helping, and anything is worth doing 'for the cause'. To tell me that rinsing the gear, when there are ocean currents, fish...

    Info SCTLD closures on Bonaire

    I wonder how long they are going to keep this up? Commendable how they are able to keep the water from moving all around the island like that... /s :/

    Scooter thread split from Diver missing from Vandenberg Wreck in Key West

    Bringing a scooter 'just in case' seems like a lot of overhead for something you may not even use.

    Cardiac Discussion split from Diver missing from Vandenberg Wreck in Key West

    As far as heart disease goes, there are and continue to be countless people who get full physicals, blood work, stress tests, clean bill of health, and the next day drop dead from a heart attack/stroke. It's far from an exact science. Now add the covid vaccinations as another possible...

    Scuba diver dies while exploring popular shipwreck, a third tragedy in the Florida Keys

    I guess you'd need to read the previous posts for context.... Snoopy is a known section when diving the SG. This video makes it look even more confined than I remember it. :/ To me, this is at the least a judgement call if this is recreational diving. For me it certainly isn't if I'm in...

    Scuba diver dies while exploring popular shipwreck, a third tragedy in the Florida Keys

    Snoopy was far more confined than I expected when I went through it. Definitely switched into on point mode real fast for a bit.

    Advanced Open Water Disappointment

    I'll try to be brief.... My OW class sucked. Classroom and pool dive was ok, check outs were terrible. It was super cold, the dm wanted to just get through it, they were literally 5 min dives. My AOW a year later, after doing only 1 dive between the two, was great. Went to Key Largo and...

    Scuba diver dies while exploring popular shipwreck, a third tragedy in the Florida Keys

    I don't find the dive over the top. Sure, the bottom of the vessel is deep, but you can mull around 80-90' all you like with plenty to see. If you are average on air, you can get 18-20 mins of bottom time. Did the article say that the diver was penetrating?

    Advanced Open Water Disappointment

    1000% spot on. Well said. Lastly, AOW is nothing more than OW2. I feel many folks it is a worthwhile course, if taken directly after OW (as I did). I'd guess in most cases, the level of proper understanding and comfort from finishing OW is not that high (it wasn't for me). AOW really made a...

    Advanced Open Water Disappointment

    Ya, I'd go back and bitch honestly. For people who ask 'where should i do my training'...if you don't have a SOLID referral from someone you trust, I would always go to Rainbow Reef. Solid group there.

    ARe you saying 90 min each way to Cano? I don't remember it being that long the first time.

    Current shops in Uvita anyone has experience with going to Cano?

    Just wondering if anyone had any current experience with any shops in Uvita going to Cano. Heading out there in Jan, probably going to do cano at least once. Only other time I've been out there was really great dives around that place! TIA

    Flights....currently cheap

    Yes, book now, fly in January. I was seeing good (normal) flights, for $450 RT out of Boston. That is at least $100 less than I've ever gotten before.
