    AOW course expensive in Palm Beach?

    What would make a $400 AOW class valuable to you? When you figure that out, find an instructor that will teach you that! Is really that simple. Yes, don't be that guy! But if you go into a class with 20 dives thinking you won't learn anything, you become a self-fulfilling prophecy. No one if...

    Suggestion request for a new "Dive Software" sub forum

    Me 2-5! I think that makes 25 individuals interested so far.

    What dive computer should I get

    Sweet! The T1 is more of my style. I see you have integration with an android app. Any plans on developing an iOS app? I'll be glad to sacrifice and test drive a unit if you need volunteers :) ---------- Post added November 11th, 2014 at 05:54 PM ---------- From their website:

    AOW course expensive in Palm Beach?

    You are not too far off, but you seem to be forgetting a few critical factors. 1. You pay per charter not per dive, so 5 dives = 3 charter trips. Or you could do 2 trips and a shore dive. 2. Your $300 "cost" does not include your instructor's time. Local 2 tank trips are 4 to 5 hours long. Add...

    HERO2 bit the dust. Time to go shopping!

    I have the original HD HERO with the LCD BackPac, SRP Blurfix, SRP Deep, Shallow and Green water filters that I would be willing to let go for $100. I just received a HERO 4 as a birthday gift so the HD HERO is up for grabs. A new HERO with the LCD BackPac would be $210 Also, silly question...

    AOW course expensive in Palm Beach?

    What would you consider a reasonable price? Can you break down the cost of the price you think is reasonable for at least 5 dives, possible pool time, instruction, materials and the fees for certification? If you convince me that that's a reasonable price I'll be glad to teach you AOW for that...

    ScubaBoard Invasion Central 2016 Philippines

    Colin, it's was simply a price vs. performance choice. There are only 2 extra useable resolutions in the HERO 4 Black that I would want to use sometimes. The HERO 4 Silver included the built-in Touch Display which in my opinion is a must. I have the original HERO HD which came without the...

    What do you wish you could teach a recreational diver?

    What a great question and I wish I'd seen it sooner. Since your OP and the title thread are slightly different to me, I'll try to answer the title of the thread as that was what attracted me first. What do you wish you could teach a recreational diver? To me each new diver is different and I...

    What dive computer should I get

    All that for less than $300 would be nice, but I don't think so. It sure looks good! And probably about the same price point of the Petrel. I sure hope it doesn't turn into another XDeep Black all over again! Competition would be good.

    I'm mounting my HERO 4 Silver with the Macromate Mini on top of my DSLR housing with a Tokina 10-17 to have both options on every dive.

    Weighting/Trim Question

    The answers to your questions are: 1. Yes, some bcds have "trim pockets" in the upper back of the bcd. 2. Yes, find out how much weight you really need. Perform a buoyancy check ASAP! It's not rare to see new divers overweighted like yourself. I remember carrying 28 lbs. for warm water dives...

    Cruise Ship Divers

    The stop in St. Thomas a couple of weeks ago was 8 AM to 3:30 PM. I was off the ship by 8:15, on board the dive boat by 8:45 and back in time for lunch! It's been a long time since I dove Key West, but Capt's Corner used to have daily trips departing at 9:30 AM. Also, depending on the day of...

    Cruise Ship Divers

    While I have been pretty successful diving from cruises I would not want to take a cruise with that as the main goal. The dives are usually not the best dives around even when booking outside the ship. I got a couple of nice shots while diving off of a cruise in St. Thomas with Blue Island...

    Taking my Canon 550D to underwater !

    Hello Ashlyak! I shoot with a 650D and a Tokina 10-17 and the combination is fantastic. I then added the Canon 100mm 2.8 Lens and shooting RAW goes without saying. The problem with the lenses you have is that you will have to rig ports, extenders and gears to try to use them underwater. You...

    Smartphone Dive Computer

    [/LEFT] I dive to get away from my phone, work, office and other people talking. Definitively, not interested. Not my cup of tea.

    Cruise Ship Divers

    I like that phrase... I'm sure I'll use it this coming week. If the weather is not bad I'll be diving in St. Marteen and St. Thomas from the NCL Getaway.
