    Rescue Diver Scenarios - Trouble with cramping

    I'll try those. Also, I'm an ER RN, and was planning on talking to one of our PTs. And, I just bought my first back inflate BCD. I was wondering if it pushing me forward caused a little increase in workload. Thanks!

    Rescue Diver Scenarios - Trouble with cramping

    Hey all, I just got back from doing my Rescue scenarios. All went well until the last one - unresponsive diver underwater. After about 3 minutes of rescue breaths/getting victim out of their gear as we're heading to shore, my calves started cramping like crazy. I rested and tried again 3...

    Used Oceanic reg

    Hi all, I have the opportunity to buy, from a dive buddy, an Oceanic CDX5 1st stage, with a GT3 primary 2nd stage and an Alpha 8 octo. He says it's got less than 60 dives on it, and was serviced last year. Gauge comsole isn't included. He's offering it to me for $225. Is it a good deal...

    Cabo San Lucas

    Me, my wife, and our two daughters are going to Cabo in June. I sent several dive shops emails, and the most accomodating seemed to be DeepBlue. I've read positives, and a few negatives about them on TA. I'd also looked on here and seen the recommendations to avoid ADM. I didn't even send...

    Sandos Caracol Playa del Carmen...who to dive with and where to eat...

    Hey all, My wife and I are leaving for Playa next week. Neither of us have been there before. She booked it and picked Sandos Caracol Eco Resort and Spa...hmmm....not quite rave reviews on TA...so I'm a little concerned. It's an all-inclusive, but a budget all-inclusive. Stuff comes up...

    Diving Stuart Cove's Nassau Bahamas

    Great thread, folks! Alot of good info. I'd appreciate more if anyone has anything else to add. I'd been trying to decide whether to use SC or BD (never been to Bahamas before), and I believe we'll be diving with SC's. I'd read more about them than an other shop on the islands, and more good...

    Roatan on a cruise

    I'm going on a cruise next year and one of the stops is Roatan. I tend to book excursions outside of the cruise line.
