Another vote for Reef House Resort. I have not been to CoCo View but I believe the Reef House would be perfect for you. The only thing is that they don't have Nitrox.

Last November I did a shore dive from Casa del Mar to Blue Angel as my last dive of the trip and I wish I had done it sooner. While definitely not up to par with boat diving, it's fun to do if you like being in the water looking at little things. The cab ride is $3 including tip and the tanks...

My wife and I did the walk quite a few times: it's about 15 minutes to the edge of town (supermarket) and about 30 minutes to the center of town. As far as the noise is concerned, if you don't use the AC it gets noticeable after 4am when the traffic starts picking up. The main reason is because...

If you want to do shore diving, you have to dive the cliff area of Negril (south of the beach). There are a few dive operators at the various hotels and they will let you shore dive your own profile on your own. The reefs there are mostly uneventful but they are shallow and close to shore and...

You are going to have fun. The airfare is very good, that's what I paid to fly to Cancun last fall (albeit from NYC). At the time, the fare to Cozumel was about double and I would have had to change flights.

Thank you, it was quite a sighting. My wife should actually be credited for the photo. Another diver shot a nice video of the dive which I am slowly working on converting to a web friendly format.

Did you see the Flying Gunnard at Monkey Shoals? My wife and I were in St. Kitts and Nevis just a couple of weeks ago. I still have to get around to writing a report. We dived with Scuba Safaris (www.scubanevis.com). Great outfit.

Ok, thanks. I guess it's the same dive I did.

Would that be north of Blue Angel? I took a cab from Blue Angel to Casa del Mar and drifted back north to Blue Angel. It took about 1 hour and it was a lot of fun.

My wife and I stayed at Caribe Blu (now called Blue Angel Resort: www.blueangelresort.com) and dived with Blue Angel Scuba (www.blueangelscuba.com) at the end of October 2008 for 10 days: a great value for those who like no frills dive vacations. We booked our stay and diving with Jeanie...

One more vote for the Suunto Vyper. I've had it for about 2 years (100 dives or so) and never had a problem. When I bough it, I didn't think I needed Nitrox capability and then, the same year, I did! So, it's good to have. I would not bother with AI if I were you. I agree with your concerns...

I've rented trucks with Bonaire Car Rental AB using my Amex truck insurance and never had a problem. Just tell them you are a diver and they'll give you a truck with so many dents, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference if you put a new one on it. It happened to me on my first trip. They...

Thank you for the invite Spratman, Unfortunately I will be working the entire weekend so, no Labor Day weekend diving for me. :( I finally ended up going yesterday, Monday, with my buddy. I will sign up with your diving club though, I am sure there will be other occasion where I will need...

Thank you for the info. I will call the Lehigh Valley Dive Center since no one seems up for it on this board. Have fun diving the u-boat. Which one is it?

In September, you can expect temperatures to be in the 70s/80s as it is the end of summer in Italy. It may get cooler in the evening towards the end of your trip and further north such as in Venice. You shouldn't have a problem looking like a tourist in Rome, Venice, Capri, and Florence as there...

Hello, My dive buddy is not available to dive this coming Saturday (8/23/08) so I am looking for either someone or a group to dive Dutch Springs. I am a safe diver and thus I am looking for the same. I'm in Jersey City, NJ but ride share is not a necessity.

That would be Riomaggiore.

Have you factored in a 24 hour surface interval before flying out of Bonaire? Depending on the time your flight leaves Bonaire on 8/31 you may not be able to dive on 8/30. That would leave you with 2 days of diving.

Same here.

My wife and I took Rescue in Bonaire this past winter. We did EFR and self study prior to our arrival in order to skip the theory classes. We could have done the course in two full days but we ended up doing it over 4 half days (not counting the test which we took the day prior to starting the...
