    Why do you have to attend Nitrox classes in order to use Nitrox?

    Unless you are telling us you have a drinking problem, I believe you meant Muay Thai. ;) I have some experience in that field...as well as Cerrada Eskrima, Arnis, Parker Style Kenpo, Northern Shaolin Kung **, Tae Kwon Do, and a few others...15 years of training and 5 years of full contact...

    Why do you have to attend Nitrox classes in order to use Nitrox?

    Why do you have to attend Nitrox classes in order to use Nitrox?

    Why do you have to attend Nitrox classes in order to use Nitrox?

    Are you factoring in the cost (gas or electric) of running the compressor? Depreciation on the compressor? The loan payments that you're making for buying the compressor? Periodic maintenance of the compressor? Parts & labor? How about how many tanks they are filling at $15/pop per month...

    Your favorite memories of Curacao?

    First, let me tell you that Anne Marie and Harry at Easy Divers will take good care of you. We dove with them at Sunset Waters before they moved to Habitat. It was some of the best diving we have ever done! As was said before, Mushroom Forest is outstanding! I don't think Easy Divers will...

    Welcome aboard Sharmin! I haven't been to Utila...yet...but I have been to Belize. From what I hear, you would be hard pressed to find a more beautiful place to start your life as a diver. ;) As for Central America, aside from Belize, I have also dove Costa Rica, on the Pacific. Vis...
