    The purple nudi is cool, are they common in Florida? I didn't think I've ever seen one like that.

    Daydreaming of Curacao

    Very nice! A little larger than what we need this time but will keep it in mind for future trips.

    Daydreaming of Curacao

    Just bought tickets for October, thinking of splitting time out west maybe Lagun, and Jan Thiel. Need a two bedroom VRBO, any suggestions?

    What is a reasonable number of shore dives to get in a day?

    3-4 is not excessive, if we pull up short on a dive we sometimes throw in a unscheduled dive on a half done tank then we are at 4 to 5. Conceivably you could do 6 to 10 25 minutes dives and not get N2d out. If you're enjoying the dive maximize it, if not, minimize it. Your probably paying for...

    A Picasso? Sure, I think I've heard the large lower petal called a beard.

    You should not be so hard on yourself, it's much better than OK. Would have been a real nice subject for multiple close ups, the hair on the left and right petals the droplets on the beard.

    Damn, way to young. Tragic for his wife and sons. Anyone know the cause?

    Curacao or stay with Bonaire?

    While I mostly agree, you should give Curacao a try. Playa Porto Marie is just about the ideal shore dive. Beautiful beach, full service restaurant/bar, clear warm water, pretty fish and coral, interesting reef structure.. Dive, lounge, dive, diner drinks and sunset. Oh yeah tanks on site, no...

    Curacao or stay with Bonaire?

    There are a few resorts that might have a similar vibe, house of reef boat dives etc. I've been once and I'm planning on getting back soon. We do VRBO, (family of five). Coral Estates has all the things except for and groceries within walking distance

    Intro to SCUBA for 9/12 yo?

    We did the bubble blower followed by online course work at home, they did "pool" work and OW dives at Buddy's. This was 2015 (time flys 😢) Buddy's pool was the ocean next to the pier, not sure where they would do a bubble blower class now

    Intro to SCUBA for 9/12 yo?

    Buddy's, Dive Friends, probably several others that could do a bubble blower class. That's what we did with our kids before letting them start certification. The twins were 12 and their older brother was 15 when they got certified on Bonaire. Padi will train at 10 but I honestly don't believe...

    Trip Report CAYMAN BRAC BEACH RESORT/REEF DIVERS

    Really just a guess, but I'd wager they use wrist mount, he had it on the first dive but but not the second, do they do go back to the resort between 1 and 2? It sounds like he was into the dive before he noticed he didn't have it, doesn't sound like he knew he didn't have it and said screw it...

    Trip Report CAYMAN BRAC BEACH RESORT/REEF DIVERS

    Before telling them no go on the next days dives they could have sat the pair down gone through their computers logs. If they were clearing every night or nearly so and were well matched to each other the next day should have been no problem. Ideal, no, reasonable resolution, yes.

    Diver in travel group kept running out of air and sharing on every dive?

    If it's your pod and your plan it's fine with me, but say this guy has an issue and needs some extra gas to get thru it, but he's already sucked you and your wife down to safety stop time. Now what? You all get bent so he didn't have to surface early?
