Second for Bubbles Below. I have recommended them to everyone that has asked, and will continue to do so. Not the biggest, but the best. Jeff

I always recommend bubbles below. Jeff

Diving in Oahu is pretty good. And there is a lot to do on the island, same with Maui. Diving Kauai is pretty excellent, not as much to do on the island. Very lush and pretty. If you can get out to Niihau, I strongly recommend it. Some of the best diving I've had the pleasure of enjoying...

I stayed at the RUI, and dove with Rich Coast last winter. Both good decisions. The drive to Rich Coast is easy with a rental car. Jeff

I guess I need to think more globally. In the US the standard of care is 100% o2 for paramedics to administer. If suspected CNS involvement and siezures etc. we would treat with valium. I suppose we could patch with our base Dr for orders for pain management, but would probably be given orders...

Not sure I understand the no etonox dog tag. This is nitrous oxide correct? Is there anyplace that would administer nitrous oxide to an unconscious person? IF you were awake and in pain, and you know what etonox is, couldnt you simply refuse? Jeff

I had temps at 77. Comfortable in a shorty. Cool.

Thanks everyone for our input. Trying to figure out a budget now and then I can start planning. Looking at early October unless someone convinces me otherwise. Jeff

I just got back from Coz. I dove Dos Ojos. I dont know anything about the rest, they could be better or worse. I thought Dos Ojos was pretty spectacular. We were the first group there in the AM (myself a guide and one other guy) FWIW I went with Ricardo from Dive Choice Mexico scuba diving...

As far as the taxi/rental car thing I was thinking other than dives. Would I be better parking my butt in a tourist area, and staying there taking the shuttle to dive, or renting a car/taxi to shuttle arount the island. I guess what I am asking, is there a good reason to rent a car to get...

Thanks. Pretty sure its Nassau since that is their main operation. Just trying to figure out the most affordable, comfortable option (within reason, i dont want to live like Im homeless, just a nice time at a fair price) Jeff

I've been searching the forum, and haven't really found recent answers to the questions I have. I 'won' a diving package for Stuart Cove's operation so I plan on going to that Island some time before the end of the year. Pretty much that's all I know at this time. I have found several threads...

You might get me to think in Metric, but I doubt you'll get me to abandon my AI transmitter.. I embrace technology, and my diving is recreational so I can always get to the surface. I've seen nearly as many mechanical gauges fail as I have seen quality transducers. (general industry, not scuba)...

I strongly recommend bubbles below. They arent as big or as well advertised as Seasports or the other guys. My wife and I loved diving with them, and they gave us the freedom to dive to ndls and see things the way we wanted to. My shortest dive was 41 minutes and my longest was 76 minutes. Most...

FWIW my average gas consumption per minute is .40-.46 cuft/min. I haven't tried to figure out SAC based on depth etc. This is based on the 56 dives I have logged since using SmartTrak and my Galileo air integrated computer. I am usually among the last in whatever group I am in to run low on...

Had a great time at Bonne Terre this year for the annual Treasure Hunt, and a couple of days of running the trails. I Flew into St Luis with the intention of wandering around and sight seeing. Being from Az, it was nice to see how green everything is, and leaving the 110 degree heat for the...

Not no..... just not recommended. I have dove this area from your photos. Location A usually picks up quite a bit of stuff.. Also some other parts of that same area, but up river a short distance are good. There are many other places on the river that work out pretty well, but since they...

Ill take a shot at this.... The river is between inches deep, and at least 40 feet in a few holes, probably deeper. You could snorkel most of the way. Several of the rapids are only inches deep and you would grind your face off unless you got out, I consider this part of the adventure. I really...

No reason to blast them in a public forum prior to working it out at a lower level. Shouldn't have happened, maybe it did. Could have been bad, wasn't. If it is an isolated incident, this should have been handled directly with the responsible party. The outcome for you is probably the same...

Totally normal. Unfortunately many classes don't really teach their students about maintainance as part of the open water class. Rinse your bc inside and out after every dive. I fill my bladder with water and drain it through all the different valves then fill it with air and hang upside...
