I reserved a manual truck and plan to learn as I go... We're staying in Abb downtown, arriving Feb 1. I'm excited about the freedom of shore diving, but I will probably start with easier sites. We will probably be averaging 2-3 dives a day, max. What night dives would everyone recommend? How...

Bluetooth does not work underwater.

If you can't setup a new phone without a functioning old phone, something is wrong with your security setup! If you read my post a few lines above your quoted line, you can see that I was talking from experience. I was able to get to my gmail on my wife's phone to get authorized. If you travel...

This is a valid point; I had a user error (I did not close it fully) and flooded my phone. I had the phone warranty replaced and still plan to continue using it. My solution is not to trade in my current phone but keep it as a spare. Everything is on the cloud these days; changing phones is just...

Ok, we opted for Bonaire! Coming the first week of Feb. Looking forward to the adventures! Thanks, @drrich2, for the research notes write-up - so much info. Three questions: 1) Do I really need a truck? With a car or small SUV, I save almost $200 vs an automatic truck. I can perhaps get and...

We are thinking of making an 8-day trip in February - deciding between Roatan and Bonaire - We have never been to Bonaire, so we are thinking of doing that. But a few things scare me a bit: 1) Truck rental - is it possible to get one with an automatic transmission? 2) Food -- seems like nothing...

It was a really nice dive @MrChen and @Scuba_Jenny - our longest by far! What a fun place to dive, you guys are so lucky - I wish I had something like that driving distance from Houston.

Are you available Tuesday pm? We flight back Wed PM, so that's cutting it close, but that's not a deep dive, so it's likely we'll be fine.

How are the conditions now? Are the groupers gone? What other bid staffis available? Trying to see if I should drive up from pompona where we are staying or just dive there.

How are the conditions recently? I am staying in Pompona and trying to think if it is worth the drive. Should I go with a guide/group, e.g., Pura Vida, or doable on our own? I understand diver flux is required - all the time or just before ascending? One per pair of buddies or one for each? Can...

Ok, we are pushing our trip back 4 weeks. Y'all stay safe out there

Do y'all think the upcoming storm from the gulf could affect diving in the WPB area next weekend?

Plans are coming along. Booked Oct 11-16 tickets coming to FLL. Now, I am deciding between staying in the Pompano Beach area (with wreck dives nearby and shore diving options nearby but dive Jupiter/WPB for a day with shark/grouper dive and probably for a Heron bridge afternoon dive) or...

I am a bit confused by the pricing structure compared to all my previous diving experience. It seems that the dive shops I've seen so far charge you for the trip, e.g., $110/2-tank, but that does not include tanks. So one needs to rent 2 tanks per trip - correct? I assume tank rentals include...

I am still deciding between Miami and West Palm Beach but leaning towards the latter.

awesome write-up, thanks

I am gold with United, so perhaps stick to that, but fares are very good. WPB it is. I definitely like the large staff more. What are your recommendations for dive boat operators and tank rental places for shore diving and a good base to live in?

Both look too far off from salt water sites. Anything closer?

I have a few days off in early October and thinking of an extended weekend trip (perhaps Thu/Fri to Wed morning) and hope to get 4-5 diving days. I am still thinking of defaulting to Cozumel but have never driven to Florida, and October may be a good time to visit. Where should I go to have a...

But that being said, you can do 3 or even 4 dives per day for a very reasonable cost in PG and that qualifies to "be in the water as much as possible" in my book.
