My husband and I are looking forward to going there around the holidays this year when we are out visiting his parents. After hearing the details from everyone, I am super excited!!

If I remember correctly from a recent trip to Belize, this was the shop that had a sign outside that said "No cert - no problem! You ARE certified here."

My husband was just there and used Aaron's and really loved them.

My husband was just in hawaii and felt his 3 mm full suit was perfect. He also wore reef gloves. He is typically the type that never gets cold and even said I might need a 5 mm when we go to hawaii. it is a similiar temp in Cabo from what I nderstand. I would at least go with the 3mm, but...

I was just at dutch this past weekend and it was in the low to mid 50s below 30'. I had on a merino 7 mm with a 5 mm merino hood and vest. Was toasty warm for the most part, but did get cold here and there - especially after a few dives. The hood and vest are a very smart move.

I keep a small bottle of "bio-silk" in my dive bag. i have very fine (but loads of) curly hair and it flies away and tangles into a mess. 2nd benefit of bio-silk is it can also be used on your skin, so i also rub it on my legs, feet, arms, hands, etc during surface intervals to help fight...

Great video! That should keep me satisfied for the next 10 years (and 1000 dives) or so until I am qualified for that dive!

As a very small women, I tried quite a few in the water and found that so many rode up on me at the surface. the only one that didn't was the Tusa Selene jacket BC, and I love it.

We were just up at Dutch tis past weekend for memorial day.

I (thought I) finished my AOW this weekend, but completed the specialty course for enriched air as one of the 5. (we did the entire specialty - and yes I definately agree with you - I would not have understood it with just limited info). We did not, however, do an enriched air dive since a...

Thank you pir8. One thing I am great at is knowing my limits - in fact I have been accused of not taking enough risks (I disagree). The dive shop we use for instruction has gone above and beyond to ensure safety throughout my training and I feel very comfortable with the minimal...

You and spouse are planning getting pregnant around the "off-season" then realize there isnt one and put kids off another year...(or so...)

Can you still use nitrox specialty toward AOW even without the dives?

Dear sub_diving_mason, It is very sweet of you to be looking after your wife, but I assure you, she is comfortable and very much looking forward to the wreck dive. Love, your wife On a side note - for those that have voiced concerns - this is a PADI wreck specialty class - we are not...

I have the pinnacle merino-elastiprene 7 mm and it is way warmer than the other 7 mms i have tried, so I can only assume the 5mm is the same. It does take a little longer to dry, but developing a smell doesn't seem to be a problem. Someone suggested that I dry it inside out, but seems to make...

Now that you have itworking... How do you like this computer?

I want your life. There are a few local quarries, and if you are willing to drive 3 hours or so, better quarries.

Personally, the shop that i was certified through did not give me the option of using fins/snorkle/mask for my swimming test - I had to do the real deal. I am thankful for that now, because the test was of course before i had all of that equipment on. Sure lots of people can get certified...

Hubby and I were out there too last sunday (May 4th) and it was about 50 at the platforms. Really not that bad. Of course we did have on 7mms with 5mm vests and hoods and 5 mm gloves - oh and i was cold in about 15 miutes.... Okay if you hate the cold I would not recommend. We would...

I also had a huge problem with this - narrow face with high cheekbones. Even the mini-shadow everyone recommended did not work because of the SHAPE of my face. Ended up with a Tusa Serene - it looked big so I didn't try it at first, but the skirt is perfect for a slim, narrow face.
