Sure... and you don't have to get a c-card to dive either, but it's a pretty good idea. The drysuit class is worth taking given the different buoyancy characteristics of diving wet versus dry.

I've heard a little about "deco gas" being more oxygen-rich than whatever the diver is normally/otherwise using. Is that because they are normally diving deeper than is safe for nitrox toxicity levels so they dive air then use a high O2 gas for their stops? Or is there some other reason?

Agreed that drysuit is the way to go for your size and preferences. Drysuits don't need to fit skin-tight like a wetsuit so that opens up your options a fair amount. You'd need to get drysuit certified but that's a pretty quick n' easy course from what I hear. I dive wet in monterey but I...

which one is it? Amazon.com: Diving and Snorkeling Guide to Roatan & Honduras' Bay Islands (Lonely Planet Pisces Books): Sharon Collins: Books or Amazon.com: Honduras & the Bay Islands [LONELY PLANET HONDURAS & BAY]: Gary(Author) ; Prado, Liza(Author) Chandler: Books

Where did you pick it up? I can't find anyone that has any color in stock...

So, it may not be the best dive vacation but it should be a great vacation with a good amount of diving! Here's our schedule: Aug 5th fly from SFO to IAH. Aug 6th fly from IAH to RTB Aug 6-8th Paya Bay (hoping to dive east end either Aug 7th or 8th with whomever their dive op is. They...

There are plenty of companies that make a Large-Short. Check out Waterproof, Bare and Pinnacle. Scubatoys.com has all the size charts for major manufactures in one link.

Great trip report!! I'm headed to Roatan in Aug. Staying at Paya Bay then Island Pearl/Bananarama.

Thanks for all the ideas. She's going to try on the BARE 7mm Arctic this weekend and see how it fits... and she'd kill me if I posted pics. ;)

You can likely find a conversion kit. Check out scubatoys.com or even LP.

I haven't heard of a single dealer asking if you actually are a previous customer yet. In other words, you should be fine.

Wow, this forum is DEAD... I ended up with the standard Taurus. Yet to get it wet but the fit and quality is great!

Will do! Something you know here? Has PB been having some sort of trouble?

Does it automatically import data from most dive computers or does it require manual data entry?

thanks Steve, some good stuff to consider!

Thanks Rick! Will do. So far they've been great on the phone. Booked beachfront bungalow #24. I've been looking at a few other options. Paya bay would give me some "new" diving sites and certainly a different feel it seems than anything else on the island. Also considering the Sunyata boat...

Ahh, gotcha. I was hoping it was the sealed FH VI not the XP (unsealed, I believe) I was going to pick up an extra for cold water diving.

I had hoped to check out 2 different resorts on Roatan, arriving on the 6th and leaving the 15th. I'm booked at the Island Pearl (aka bananarama) for the 8th-15th so I'm looking for recommendations for the 6th-8th. Since the time at IP will be mostly relaxing or exploring the island (maybe...

A quick call to CCV (or rather their booking agent) confirmed nothing is available Aug 6-9... except the 9th, and there is a 4-night minimum. Hmm the latter part would be good info to have on the website instead of saying "for 1-4 nights the rate is $xxx". Throughout the call I felt like I was...

thanks lMorin. So, really only missing out on the Sat PM dive? Would you say it was a big negative experience (not staying Sat-Sat)? I guess the other option I have is is be there thurs-Sat... Leave after the morning dive Sat and head to west bay?
