The aren't any good dive sites in Florida. Because it's Florida. There many other places around the world where the local people are actually nice, the food is cheap and good, the diving is better, and overall will be cheaper than Florida.

No benefit. Spend the time and money that you'd spend on master diver, and get some better training like GUE Fundies. If you want to put another dollar in the get the plastic card, be my guest.

Clearly you don't have a dive wife.

I always fly first class and get two free 30kg checked bags. Never had any excess baggage fees. :)

It's been more than 10 years since I dove the Similans, but the currents there were pretty strong, too.

Shore diving on the NW side of the big island (e.g. Puako) is cheap and fun.

I attach reflective letters with my last name

Nice job

I see you have a camera, and your feet are far from the reef. GOOD JOB. I prefer a slight head down trim when I have a camera, keeps my fins away from the reef. Your trim is perfect.

That's a change from a couple of years ago when I was looking at a new computer. Their algorithm was no where to be found in their website.

Dunno where you live, but consider Cozumel instead. The people are infinity nicer in Mexico, the food is infinitely better, the diving is infinitely better, and it's probably cheaper than going to Florida.

There are very real practical differences between computer algorithms. Read up, intelligently chose an algorithm, and that will narrow your choices of computers. I would avoid the RGBM algorithm used by Mares, Cressi, and Suunto. You'll run out of NDL and be heading towards the surface long...

We can stay for free at Fiesta Americana by using our Hilton points. We've done that a few times, and its okay.

I crossed the border into Canada one day at 4 a.m. and stopped for gas. A Canuk on the other pump welcomed me to Canada and gifted me a dime bag of weed.

250 dives? You're still a beginner. Keep diving.

LOL

Skip 7mm and go to a drysuit

You got what you paid for. No offense to you, but you're paying discount prices for a professional service and then complaining that the service is not superior. PADI's priority is a low entry cost, and then teaching you as little as possible as quickly as possible to make that low entry cost...

Dry bag is the way to go. It doesn't have to be fancy. It's just a bag.

We did a 10-day charter out of Phuket, and then stayed in Phuket for more diving. Great day trips out of Phuket! Diving the wreck of the Boonsung is spectacular. So may fish! A dive trip out to Phi-Phi islands is also fun.
