    The Scuba Club, West Palm Beach

    They have one of the most beautiful facilities anywhere, and as others have mentioned, you almost never hear anything negative about them. They do seem to cater to the newer, less experienced diver, but not exclusivly so - also offer 1 tank dives. They would not be my #1 choice, but would not...

    Sanibel Island Diving Late November

    Matt lived and worked in the area for years, so I would put a premium on his info - you made mention in your original post of not much being written about diving in the area; kind of an indication, right? - although there are many places to dive in the gulf off Ft Myers - its just chilly, and...

    Miami Diving- what's there to see?

    Shore diving is not an option in Miami - if you want to see anything but sand (FWIW, its not an option in the Keys either, for the same reason) b/c the reefs are too far offshore. However.... The wrecks (and not just the real deep ones) are excellent - and the shallow reefs can be good too...

    car keys + shore diving

    But MY Camry is different.....its a hybrid! :no: Seriously, thanks - and FWIW, smart a__, I have read the manual - just don't have much cause to lock the key fob in the car (I'm really paranoid about losing the valet key) but you gave me a valuable suggestion- now all I have to do is find the...

    car keys + shore diving

    On top of the right front tire - never a problem - although if I know, probably the car thiefs do too I have a Toyota Camry Hybrid (fantastic car btw) - the key fob if you lose or destroy one all in is about $300 (wonder how I know.....) You can't leave the fob in the car or trunk and use...

    best quality air fills in the Fort Lauderdale/Pompano Beach area?

    And he'd be damn lucky to get you! Just remember to show up for your interview with socks and sandals - he likes the look!

    best quality air fills in the Fort Lauderdale/Pompano Beach area?

    In the Pompano area, "Fill Express" is frequently named as one of the best places for gas in S. FL - quick fills and almost all gases are available - many, including tech divers swear by them - you would not be disappointed in their service. Prices are competitive w/ other dive shops, but when...

    crystal river florida

    Our first cold front could be (forecasted) this weekend - a little on the early side, but it is November after all. I love the cooler weather, but fronts = high winds and rough seas - just in time for the weekend Below is Nat Weather Service for Jupiter to Hillsboro - its about the same...

    Boynton Beach & Jupiter this weekend

    Always tough to predict an accurate near shore forecast - but if the winds are blowing 20 - 25 mph out of the north, you are in for rough seas, even if only a mile or 2 offshore. Same conditions out of the west - probably will have a negative effect on viz.

    Poachers Beware

    Or shark fin soup...... In much of Asia, certainly China, many believe that any animal with its "Back to Heaven" is fair game to be consumed - pretty broad spectrim to choose. There does not seem to be much awareness in this area - I know not everyone The disgusting practice of shark...

    Key West area diving- whadaya think?

    Very Possibly, Pamela..... Then you are not looking in the right place - if you go to the "Search" function, you will see many, many posts about the Keys, as well as Key West - one of the most popular topics - along with weather and sea condition questions for times way in the future...

    Sea Experience - Thurs Morning? Anyone?

    Given the production involved with the Ft Lauderdale Boat Show, I'd pick another time to dive with them.

    Dive Report: Disney Epcot DiveQuest

    I'm glad you had a positive experience; have read other reviews of this dive and most seem to like it. However.....not to be a contrarian, the dive holds zero interest for me on many levels, but everyone is entitled to their opinion and to spend their time and $$$ as they please.

    Poor and Boatless ?????

    His profile shows he was on the board 10/14 @ 1:40, so chances are he saw it. At the very least he should have acknowledged your kindness - looks like there are things other than his spelling and gramar that need improvement. 9 pages; 90 posts about where to shore dive, and he does not take...

    Key largo this weekend and Paula

    Depends on the boat they are using, and your tolerance. A 25' "six pack"? Hell no - a 50' cattle boat......maybe 3 - 5' is about my max, and I prefer nothing over 2 - 4' - its supposted to be fun, right - and getting knocked around and a bunch of people puking (trust me, if the forecast is...

    Taking the boat out Saturday

    Just curious - what kind of boat do you have? You can guess what we have based on the name I post under! (might have been helpful to include this in your post - folks like to know what they will be diving from, even though your offer was very generous)
