well, he has a wet suit - was hoping for something a little easier to travel with/put on etc. in warmish water where he still gets cold

so my son gets really cold when diving - was thinking maybe a sharkskin but I see someone says they aren't as warm as they claim - anything else that helps keep you warm?

where do you buy the Doc's plugs - I see they have them on Amazon - some say "vented" some say "non vented" - I assume for diving you would want the vented?

thanks for your feedback - that's what I was thinking just wanted to hear it from someone who had actually stayed there. Can deal with spotty wifi if I have to.

have a trip planned to Grand Cayman in April 2025 - last time we went (2018) we stayed at a very nice private home type place that rented rooms - but apparently they have closed. So, found Paradise Pointe on-line - one bedroom apartments you rent - no pool - no housekeeping - but that's fine...

so, being a DAN member automatically gets you coverage if you have a dive related injury - correct? Does it also automatically cover you if you are on vacation and have a non-dive related accident? First wanted to make sure I had that right - I'm looking into getting travel insurance to cover...

so trying to use saved up Capital one rewards for a flight to Grand Cayman - anyone else use Capital one rewards for flights? Have to find them through Capital one? I can go on the airline page and they pretty much have flights every day - but using capital one rewards they don't seem to have...

so, not to get into too much TMI territory here - but when I'm in the ocean diving I have to pee - if she pees while wearing a tampon will that soak into the tampon. I was also never able to wear tampons myself so this is all new to me

So, I've skimmed the forum and did see information about "period swimwear" - but just wondering we are about to go to Florida - family trip - me, hubby, son, daughter-in-love - she will likely be on her period while we are there (and diving) and as I didn't start diving until after menopause I...

Have you left your vehicle at this particular ramp - or do you just mean in general at boat ramps? This particular ramp is at the end of a jetty that on google maps looks like it probably doesn't get a lot of transient traffic...

Taking our personal boat to the Venice area in July - staying on Casey Key - they say we can't have our boat trailer in their parking lot but can leave at the boat ramp - has anyone done that? Is it safe? Any other place you might suggest to keep our trailer - only going to be there a couple days

We are also thinking of a January 2020 trip - all adults in our group - two very new divers. I'm reading and see that some say the snorkel with manatees is not very good - but I've also read that sometimes the manatees are scared away with scuba bubbles - would love to hear everyone's thoughts...

ok - we are thinking of taking a trip to the Crystal River area this January or February - came here to ask who we should dive with and if anyone has any suggestions of where to stay. I see someone rented a boat - have others done that? I know the area is pretty well regulated are you limited...

Thinking of doing a long weekend sometime this winter to dive with manatees - have a few questions that maybe someone can help with - what time of the year is best - as I understand it Crystal River is one of those places that has the same water temp year round - is that correct? - I understand...

got it - we do not like cold water so maybe shortly after Labor Day is best for us :D

by "shoulder" seasons I assume you mean before and after their busy season - I guess they are the busiest in the summer months?

I live in Texas - recently heard that there are good places to dive in Hot Springs, Arkansas - anyone have any favorite spots they can recommend? Is there a best time of the year to dive there? Thanks in advance for any information!

ok so what do most people tip dive masters after a dive? And do you also tip the boat captain and the deck hand?

so just purchased a couple PLB's for our trip to Florida - they are waterproof - but not depth proof - thought we'll just get a box to put them in while we dive - proving to be harder than expected finding a box that they will fit in but that isn't super big overall. Inside dimensions must be...

yeah, we were looking at April or May so maybe 2019 we'll get to Bonaire - will have to watch and see when they have non-stop from Houston - thanks
