    Waterproof wetsuits

    These are one of the best suits I've ever tried. Many more off the rack sizes than other companies. Materials and workmanship are great. The only problem I've come across is the seals at the arms and legs. Don't try to push and pull too much or that will be the place the suit fails. We had some...

    Fishing license for dive boats

    We got the memo in our area a month or so ago. Here it was mostly the guys that take out scallop trips. They were told they needed to be on the same page as the local fishing guides. We were told if one person on the boats brings on ANY gear that can be used to TAKE anything, we were to have the...

    Crown of Thorns

    When I worked on the big island, it was my understanding that COT were not native to Hawaii and that TT and certain shrimp were the only known predators. It was very interesting to see how TT and COT reacted to each other and how fast a COT will run from a TT. It was also interesting that the...

    Insurance Question....

    The best thing about DAN is that they also do research that provides divers with information that helps us stay safe. Not sure if the others with insurance do the same thing.

    Are Drysuit Undergarments really necessary?

    I wear the same stuff I used skiing. Tried to find things that didn't have zippers to dig at seals or my neck. Lots of loft and good wicking of moisture away from the skin, warm when wet. Works just fine for the typical recreational diver. Expedition dives would be another story.

    are there jobs for freshly qualified Divemasters?

    You didn't say what you did before you wanted to change jobs. If it was sales or maybe computer or web design, etc... you might be in luck. This seems to be an area of great need in the business. If you can repair compressors or outboards also would be of great advantage. You could more easily...

    Happy New Year from Kona, HI

    Jack's, Honu and Charlie's have the nicest boats. By this, I mean, bigger, more stable and more comfortable. You also see them farther up and down the coast. The farther from Kona you get, the better the areas are. Make sure you get in at least one of the manta night dives, awesome. The black...

    Things for a non diver to do in Key Largo

    Send her down to the Dolphin Research Center or the turtle hospital. As far as mall shopping, Florida City is the closest. When I worked down there, the saying was, If K Mart didn't have it, you didn't need it. Not many beaches in the Keys, Bahia Honda would have the best. Kayak tour through...

    Going to and camping in Mona Island, Puerto Rico ...

    They do have hunters that control the wild pig population on Mona. We would see a group of what looked like college kids camping on the island. They were brought out to do field work for research papers. When the weather was good, you would see day boats and even small private boats out at Des.

    hot tubs and diving (liveaboard question)

    This may all be a non issue. Live aboards are not the size of cruise ships. As they rock, water is always having to be topped up to keep levels so the pump doesn't burn out. Because it is constantly trying to keep all this new water warm, the heaters are constantly burning out. In many of the...

    Who Keeps Trashing My Island????

    When I worked in the islands, I was amazed that the same people that would talk about how disrespectful the off islanders were would leave their fishing trash to blow all over. The most popular points to fish off of were covered in trash both above and below the water. I would hear talk about...

    Manatees near the Panhandle?

    As far as operators go, the trip is made by the Captain you get. The whole reason you are allowed in the water with them is for the education. The Captain should be educating you about the animals as part of the tour. This shouldn't be something you pay extra for to get a card. Call the shop you...
