    what is little cayman like?

    I've read that there is a significant baggage limit for the flight from Grand to Little Cayman. Is this true? My dive bag weighs a solid 48 pounds alone. I'm starting to plan a Cayman trip in May. Are these the only resorts on LC? I need to find a resort that provides in the room...

    what do you think of Curacao?

    I was there two years ago as a pod person (diving from a cruise ship). We dove through the Marriott resort on a privately arranged trip. The two dives were amazing. The first was along a gorgeous sloping wall, and the second was another wall that ended at the tugboat. While we didn't see any...

    Impressions from 1st Bonaire visit

    Ippy, I can feel your pain. If your room isn't clean and well maintained, it is a major downer on your trip. You can only spend so much time underwater, and you will spend more time in your room than you will diving (even if it's just sleeping).

    Oahu Checkout dives

    I'm a huge wreck buff. Thanks for some names to avoid, if I have any influence with the dive op (AAA).

    Oahu Checkout dives

    I'm just curious, but where do people in Waikiki do their checkout dives? I'm arranging a dive trip this winter, and I'd like to avoid the new diver zone, or at least be aware of what I'm in for when I get there. Nothing against new divers, but those sites aren't usually known as the best...

    Blue Mesa Bash

    Good to hear. My wife decided to dive as well, so that makes two for me.

    Blue Mesa Bash

    Just a bump to put this back at the top of the list, since it's gone all quiet. Anyone else planning on going? How many are we up to at this point?

    Blue Mesa Bash

    Also, what's the verdict on the boat? I'm up for a share.

    Blue Mesa Bash

    I'm officially committed. I've got reservations about 8 miles away at the Island Acres Resort. They have in-room Internet, a major plus for the Mrs who will probably have to check in on work that weekend. Looks like a nice quiet place too. We will be down there Friday and leaving Sunday...

    Blue Mesa Bash

    I'm looking into lodging. How committed are people? Any idea how cold the water will be at that point?

    "Ignorance Is Strength" - 1984 - G. Orwell...

    Sounds like you need some dive buddies that are just out to have fun. You need to get your wonder back. Me, I just feel jazzed to be under the surface. :)

    Diving without weights

    The only time I don't need weights is in a jacuzzi. I hate you all. :P

    Second Annual? Rocky Mountain Oyster get-together.

    You just did. Welcome home!

    Second Annual? Rocky Mountain Oyster get-together.

    DiveDoggie, this sounds great! What kind of logistics are we talking about right now? You mentioned needing a boat, for example. Is this a charter thing? Also, what's involved in getting a campsite? My calendar is open so far. The Mrs. won't dive it, but if I can make it I'll be there...

    I got a new hat this weekend

    Congratulations, Amascuba! I bet that feels good.

    Second Annual? Rocky Mountain Oyster get-together.

    How far away from Denver are people willing to go? (I'm not trying to be Denver-Centric, but we need a starting point.) Also, are people willing to do a motel the night before, or wanting to keep this a single-day thing? Then we can start focusing on the where and when. I think right now...

    For computer users only... safety stops.

    I do five if my gas allows, but I always do the three minutes that my computer will count down, barring some sort of problem. I never exceed NDL nor do I come close based on the computer model. In my training, a three minute stop was emphasized, not a five, and we were told that it was...

    Colorado's Holy Grail of diving??!!

    You know he posted it that way just to drive you crazy. Do what I did, and spend a few hours puzzling out his location. It took me three hours, but I got really close, and his actual location was number two on my list. :) Hell, it beats the crap out of actually working for that time...

    Diver in Glass

    Ah right. I wondered why they were offering a discount if I took in the sliced up barracuda.
