Wow! On behalf of single divers who have to foot the bill +, THANK YOU!! What a great deal for diving! Now, find a cheap flight there and back and I'm ON MY WAY! :) Thanks for listening and responding to the needs of the single divers! Steve

I'm with you! Sucks here in the Forest City .... Wanna go dive the pool at the "Y"? HA! Steve

Or your sinuses! Man -- that's like an icepick through your head! Glad you learned the lesson: I wonder how many others have said, "It's ok - I can handle it!" And made things worse....

Josh: Try Brisbane diving dot com. I dove with Pro Dive Brisbane last year -- good operation, though the two guys I know there aren't there any longer. If you go see them, as how to get in touch with Sebastian Thomas (Seth) and/or Peter Smedley. Seth is a fantastic teacher, and they are both...

Thanks aascubagirl! I have been looking around, trying to locate that exact kind of shop! If you know of any, feel free to PM me or pass me on to them with my undying gratitude! I just finished writing a whole blog on this subject, but haven't posted it yet. I do believe we more 'mature'...

Welcome from down the big street in London, ON! Looking forward to your pieces - I'm always up for new ways to stay conditioned and keep my back safe! Steve

Ain't that the truth! To see them actually advertising gender and age specific is unreal! And it doesn't seem to matter what agency. I guess "life experience" doesn't count for much these days, even if we can keep up with the younger ones physically and mentally! I'm 42, DM certified and...

I too am a single diver, and I always tell em to buy ear plugs 'cause I snore! But I'd share a room, most likely.

First dive was on the Great Barrier Reef - how could I not be hooked??? Been back to Australia for many dives, but haven't made it back up to the top end of the reef again .... yet.

I've taken my new ProQD i3 on over a dozen dives now with nary a problem. That audible click is how you know they're in, and mine seem to be in stay. Perhaps you caught the pull handle on a hose or other piece of gear and popped it out? I know someone who snagged one on a buoy line once in a...

Congratulations! And welcome!!!!! I wish you all the success the world may offer! (and if you need a DM, let me know!! HA!) Cheers!! Steve

I agree with Jupiter31 -- as laid back and peaceful as the Keys are, the ocean sometimes doesn't live the "Jimmy Buffett" way. There are some wonderful 6 pack operators who will give you great service for a reasonable fee, and if you commit to them, you may be able to negotiate a better price...

Ham is great!!!! I dove with him on several occasions, and he is a fantastic human being, and a marvelous teacher/DM!! He's exactly the kind of person I want to be in my blog "Instructor? Or Teacher? (advanced scuba discussion). Next time you see him or dive with him, ask him if he got the...

Hi! and Welcome! Looking forward to hearing about the new digs!

I did my DM with Chevy in Florida last fall -- he's full of great information, and a fun diver to be with! Looking forward to MY first trip to Bonaire: I've heard so many great things about it, and I can't wait to escape this winter myself! Glad you had a great time!

That a crappy viz photo dive at 85 ft can be a wonderful photo op safety stop at 15 ft!! You just never know, do you?

I've been sick the last couple of days, and here in Canada in the winter that means not much to do but shovel snow or surf the internet! So I've been doing a lot of reading on the boards, and a lot of researching of where to take my Instructor's course. I decided I was going to take my...

Depends on where you take it -- in metric countries, it's was meters, in the US, it was in yards. My experience, anyway. But as la diver said, the difference is about 3 inches per yard more. No biggie.

Very true, Terry.

Where the water is warm, the beer is cold, the people are friendly and the instructors are INCREDIBLE teachers.
