    Costa Rica: Ocotal or Drake Bay area

    A lot of kamikaze bees at the bar too. I tried to stay at the Tabacon but it was fully booked. We ended up staying at the Arenal Volcano Observatory, the closest lodging to the volcano. It was originally built for the National Geographic Society to observe the volcano.

    Costa Rica: Ocotal or Drake Bay area

    Did you enjoy the hot springs at Tabacon? That was one of our highlights. Nice hot spring water pools surrounded by the lush tropical environment.

    new to diving were to start in northern VA

    OK, I was wondering why there isn't more bridges and ferries. Some pleaces I loticed are about 5 miles apart but separated by a body of water. To get to one point to another they end up making over an hour journey.

    Dive Sites in Japan

    Jonathan, The OW students Osezaki stay at the beach right on the main strip next to the parking lot and the dive shops. If you go deeper past Manbo the last dive shop there is a shrine. Go past the shrine for about 10 minutes there is an excellent site. To get to the water you have to...

    Costa Rica: Ocotal or Drake Bay area

    Ocotal is more expensive than Playa de Coco so I'd go with over there instead. You can stay at one of the locally owned hotels/motels or stay at the Best Western. I do hear that the Playa de Coco, Ocotal, Flamingo are supposed to be better than Osa. However don't miss the canopy tours where you...

    PADI vs NAUI

    However it's easier to find somewhere that teaches PADI courses than NAUI. On the other just because it's easier to find PADI courses it doesn't mean it's better than NAUI.

    Do You Own Your Own Boat?

    I partially own a ship that's 1000ft long :D I call it the USS Kitty Hawk, unfortunately it's a VERY SMALL share paid for by my tax money. I get to live on it sometimes but I can control where we go on it.:( In other words....damn...I'm jealous of you people who own their own boats.

    new computer on ebay

    Congrats. :) I have bought a dive computer on ebay and it wasn't from an authorized dealer. Everything worked out great but warranty would have been worthless. The item was brand new in the original box but if it had turned out to be defective I would have been out of luck.

    Was your degree worth it?

    Depends....they're used for other things also. I thought that's what they meant but then again when it's about 4AM nothing is a sure thing. :D

    Costa Rica: Ocotal or Drake Bay area

    Ocotal area....well I stayed at Ocotal resort August of 2002. This was my impression. as cdiver2 stated you do wade through the surf and get on a pontoon boat and then transfer to a larger boat. I see nothing wrong with that part. I've been to a lot of other places that you had to do that. I...

    Air travel

    unfortunately for some people with kids have to travel sometimes too. I think it's only a problem when the parents don't stop their kids from doing things like kicking the seats in front of them.

    future ideology

    Due to global warming countries like the Maldives are facing being completely submerged in matter of decades. Villages have been moved in some because the ocean has flooded lakes that provided drinking and water for farming. Some nations are asking that their whole population be accepted as...
