I seem to recall seeing Orendain Gold on the shelf in the main bar. Good Stuff!!! After a few margaritas, though, it doesn't really matter what their using. Cheers!

I dove while on a cruise several years ago - Princess line. PADI hashad a very extensive program at that time as well as an excellent staff on board our ship. All dives were prearranged through local operators on the various islands we stopped at. 4 islands - all very different dives and...

If I could, I'd be back in a flash. I may get to come down during the winter - the in-laws are usually in Pompano then, so we may get to visit. I'll keep checking in on you folks and I'll let you know of any upcoming southern journeys.

Sorry we missed you guys on the 9th! Didn't get back from Key Largho until nearly 10PM on Tuesday and the number you gave me, Jenny, was some office with a very grumpy lady answering (several times). Besides, I don't think we could have gotten tanks and weights at 6:30 AM! The Keys were great...

sure - if you can fit inside my carry-on. We fly down on Sunday -less than 48 hours to go!!! Looking forward to WARM water - outside my wetsuit. Hopefully I'll get some decent U/W shots with my Bonica.

Thanks for the info. We'll be diving in 3mm jump suits or shorties. I'll warn the rest of the guys about the fire coral.

We'll be getting a flag/float Sunday afternoon. Where is the closest/best shop for tank/wt belt rentals? By the way - we're leaving the dry suits home - no worries about 50F water where you guys are! Really looking forward to diving with y'all Neil

If you guys don't mind some company, we've got 3 from Toronto and 1 from Cleveland who'd love to join you. All I have to do is make sure the rest of the crew are awake in the wee hours! Neil

I did the noodle and rope thing last summer. Then, I found a type of thin, non-skid floor mat at a local dollar store. I glued the noodles to the mat, with shoe goo and now, my tank "rack" lies nicely on the floor of my SUV and DOES NOT move with the tanks placed in the noodles. No ropes, no...

Check into The Dive Team at Scuba 2000. Diving almost every weekend, discounts on equipment/rentals, plenty of available pool time, and a great group of divers - in all ranges of abilities.

Thanks for the info, Boogie. We'll give it a shot in the next few weeks.

Looking for information on beach diving at John Lloyd. Ned DeLoach's book notes it to be a good spot, but I'd like some local input. I'll be diving in the area in early July, with about 6 - 10 other folks and we're looking for some beach sites in the Ft. Lauderdale area. Any info will be...

Boogie: interesting item about Gullivers Lake. I've heard about it over the years, but never knew where it was. Thanks for the directions. Is it open to the public (like Innerkip)? or do you have to make arrangements ahead of time? Sounds like it could be worth a drive over for a dip.

Thanks for the clarification, OD. It just so happens that the traffic report on the day of the fire noted that a "Scuba shop on Wicksteed was on fire"; not hard to figure out how misinformation gets out there. Glad the shop was empty and no one was hurt.

The eyes of Texas may be on the Longhorns, but the 'Cuse is in the house! If 'Melo and the rest of the Cardiac Kids do to Texas what they did to the Sooners, its all the way this time. Go Orange! :) :)

"Preparation H" used to contain shark liver oil! Haven't looked at the container lately (no need, thank goodness) so I can't swear by the current contents. I refuse to eat shark meat because of the depletion of fish stocks factor. Same goes for Chilean Sea Bass. Shark liver oil is used for...

If the Dive Paradise operation you refer to is at Brisas, it is about a 3 minute walk - even with your gear. Aqua Safari has a shop at PLG and the shore dive is very nice. The prices are probably the same, but if, as you say, you have a freebie, then wlak over to Dive Paradise. The dive at...

Considering the time lapse - a number of years - and the depth/visibility considerations, I'd say the laker was about 5 pounds and the lamprey about a foot long. the water was clear, but as you know, things look bigger underwater.

I had excellent results with 200 in cozumel; External strobe would be great (on the wish list) and I'd love to be able to attach a red filter (but I don't think that's possible). Last year I used 400 speed film and the results were not quite as clear as with 200 - much more grainy. I love the...

One of our group, on a recent rip to Cozumel, used the new Bonica Explorer. He had the film developed in town and the results were excellent. Bonica has a great reputation for service, as well. I should know - they've been very gracious about relacing equipment! Don't limit yourself to a low...
