I thought I understood the < and > signs but I really wanted a confirmation. However I think trade schools and technicals schools really don't fit in this very smoothly. Some trade and technical school require more classroom and On the job training than some bach degrees. IMHO

I'd like to know where the best dive in Jamaica is also. I registered for a free vacation with Sandals resort for the military. First come first served until they exhaust $2 million on vacation. If I do get it I'd like to know where I should go.....Negril is ok? :)

1 in Osezaki on the Izu peninsula Japan.

I'm an idiot....I have a Yahoo photo account. I forgot I had it. It's been over a year since I used it. Thanks :)

What about trade schools and people without high school diplomas?

Anyone know how to get to Izu from Ebina in Kanagawa? LOL

I think this has been discussed before but.....anyone know a good free photo hosting site that does not make people you want to show pic to register? Thanks

I do let the boat crew set my gear up but I double check that everything is ok before the dive. ONe time I let the crew set up my gear but during the dive my integrated weights fell off during the dive!!! After that I kept sure I put my weights on myself and double checked everything else.

Be careful about vacation packages on ebay. I've checked them out but a lot of vacation scams on ebay. Like any ebay purchases keep sure you read the agreement and the seller's feedback. There have been cases of people getting certificates that are worthless or very strict guidlines and huge...

Hi, My wife and I dived in Costa Rica last year in the area that you are going to early August so it's about the same time of the year. It's during the rainy season so the visibility of the local area is poor. However we did see plenty of sharks. I think they were black tipped. Saw a sea...

Hello El Orans and welcome to the board.:)

dawg? Marine? BTW anyone know anything about the dive shop in Kadena? What do they offer? Is Torii he only one that offers free air?

Thanks guys for the info but it does not look like I am going to Okinawa end of this month. The plane fare is too pricey at the moment. I would fly one of the military flights out of Atsugi or Yokota to Kadena but since it is not leave I wouldn't be able to get on the flight. However I am...

I went diving in Osezaki on Izu a couple of weeks ago. I dived in a 3 mil shorty. I was a bit cold since I've mostly dived in Malaysia, Thailand and Micronesia but I did ok. I got to see some lionfish, moray eels(several varieties), clownfish and etc. It was a lot better than I thought. I'm part...

One more good bit of info I forgot to give. A lot of the dive shops in Guam offer "free" shore dives on some weekends. The deal is that you show up ready to dive at a predetermined location and they provide a dive master. If you don't know much about the local dive spots it's a good deal.

I noticed that they have a lot pf peninsulas. I used to live in the San Juan Island area of WA state. WA state has a ferry network that is pretty extensive.

Not quite. I have dived in the U.S., Costa Rica, Thailand, Malaysia, Australia, Micronesia and Japan. I noticed as for diving I noticed that in Costa Rica a lot of the dive shops use imperial as opposed to metric. Is it because most of the foreign divers are American? In Micronesia the dive...

I like the dive for the experience of diving itself but only if I don't have too much equipment on. I like tropical divces because I don't have to wear any wetsuits. Couple of weeks ago I went diving in Central Japan. The water was a lot colder than Guam, Malaysia, Costa Rica and Thailand and I...

Ever hear of a mantis shrimp? They're vicious. Males fight during mating season sometimes they'll knock the head off their opponent. Thety've been known to take fingers off divers too. :D I'm getting off the subject I guess since I don't think they live in the Mid-Atlantic.

Sand Tigers are normally not dangerous are they? I went diving in Australia and there were dozens of them. During the dive brief as long as we don't harass them we should be safe.
