Okay, well it looks like FLL for me. Thanks for the info. I've never been to Miami before so the construction sounds like something to be sure to miss anyway! Jerry

Hi guys! My dive buddy and I are getting ready to plan a dive trip to Key Largo. One of the things I'm concerned about is which airport to use. I realize Miami is the closest but I've heard there is serious theft issues with it. So, I'm also considering Ft. Lauderdale. I can get Southwest...

Hi guys! My dive buddy and I are planning a trip to Coz in July, 2012. We had thought to go the all-inclusive route, but many on this board have been saying that it's better to get a non-AI hotel since the food you get at the AI isn't all that great anyway. Some even say it's cheaper to get...

My log book is in the dry box, so I don't have to worry about it getting soaked. You reminded me of one other thing I forgot, but will now do. Keep a copy of emergency numbers in the dry box in case someone needs to be gotten ahold of. Thanks for the thought nudge! Jerry

Hi Guys! Sorry for the long post, but I think this might be of interest to some. Well, though I was certified in 1973 and dove frequently until 1990, I haven’t dove much since then and not at all from about 2000 till now. Last spring I decided to revive my interest in diving and, with...

When you get some time, take a look at this facebook account. There are some amazing photos by world class photographers here. At least one of them uses a 14-24 lens on a D3s or D3x. All of the photographers post wonderful photos using cameras from a G12 up to the latest and greatest...

My first time in Cozumel was 1983. We stayed at some place north of town, nice place with a sliding glass door directly onto the beach. It was my first time in the topics and I LOVED it! My girlfriend at the time and I just did one day of diving. We went to the dive shop in town and picked out...

Thanks, I thought that I had read it somewhere. I'll go back through the manual and find it! Jerry

Hi guys! My LDS says that the zoop automatically adjusts for altitude. I believe that I read in the instructions that you have to manually adjust for altitude, but for the life of me, I can't locate it in the online directions. Does anyone know which is right? Jerry

Thanks guys! I think May sounds like the better deal. Air fares are about the same and it sounds like the weather is better (I used to live in Missouri, so am not interested in seeing all those mosquitos again!!!) Dave, I would like to hear what your opinion is, too. Also, how is the water...

Hi guys! My buddy and I are planning a trip to Coz for next summer. We had planned on going in July but have been told by a couple of people to go in May as the weather is supposedly better than in July. Since July is officially the beginning of hurricane season, I'm assuming that the...

On my scuba pro gear, the low pressure ports are 14mm and the high pressure ports are 16mm, if I remember correctly. Jerry

Hi Dustin, I might suggest something a little closer to home for you. How about a multi-day liveaboard in the Channel Islands followed by a couple days vacation on Catalina? SoCal has sharks, include shark cage trips if you are so inclined (at least they used to), big fish and plenty...

Lisa, I've spent a lot of my diving in and around Guam where the water is about 82 pretty much every day, but when I lived in Los Angeles, I did a fair amount of diving the Channel Islands. It is pretty fantastic. And I have the greatest respect for cold water divers. It's much more...

Thanks!

Hi guys, I'm buying a new computer this weekend (a Suunto Zoop) and want to get Macdive 2 to be able to log my dives from it. But I was wondering if you can enter dives manually from previous dives which were not on a downloadable computer or (heaven forbid!) were dives made before...

Hi Lisa, I'm pretty much a warm water wimp, but diving the Channel Islands is a great time. If you have never been in a kelp forest, you are missing one of the best experiences of your diving life...and this comes from a diver who really, really likes warm water. And diving with juvenile...

Guam has some deep dives. When I moved there, the first boat I went out on dove Crevice. The pre-dive briefing began with "We'll be diving to 135' on our first dive..." Then there's the shipwrecks, the cormoran at about 110', there's another one whose name escapes me at 120' and of course, Blue...

When diving Truk a long time ago (1988), my dive buddy, two dive guides and myself did a dive on the Nippo Maru where we dropped to 155 feet and cruised up the wreck to about 90 feet before ending the dive. If I remember correctly (dive log was stolen many years ago) the total dive time not...

Greco, You need to confirm with the seller that he will ship to you in Greece. The ad says he will ship to continental U.S.
