    WARNING! No Jewelry Diving AND Secure Your Camera Well - Pass the word....!!

    I am sorry, I haven’t seen a barracuda act aggressively in any way. I have to agree with Insta-gator, they get bored and move on.

    Is this true?

    I have to agree with Christi. I feel safer in Cozumel than I do in alot of city's in the US.

    My AOW Experience

    Congratulation on your AOW! I have found the instructor(s) (and rest of students) make the journey (OW, AOW, Rescue, DM…) special. Someone told me once, “The more you learn, the more you realize there is to learn!”

    California diver dies in heavy surf

    Paid for dive lessons, but shop closed up. What do I do?

    Focus on remedy first (getting your OW cert)… Get the referral forms from your instructor (don’t wait on this, or you might miss out) for you and your wife, and book a week in Cozumel, Aruba, hell anywhere there are dive operations. Most (if not all) of dive operations at...

    Why Bonaire instead of Aruba?

    My wife and I just got back from Aruba on May 7, 2010, did a week of diving there. All three locations will be relaxing, As it was stated before, Bonaire and Curacao are a bit more off the beaten path, where diving is the prime activity and diving is measured in "hours per day" vs "dives per...

    Need advice on where to dive!!

    Check for prices and operations on line. The best dive site can be spoiled by a bad dive operator. What's more important is about which two to dive is what interests you, if it's just getting wet... dive all four. But you also have to consider any flight restrictions. I hear the wreck dives...
