    Turks & Caicos December Diving Conditions

    Can anyone can give me a general idea of typical ocean conditions in T&C mid December? I'm considering the T&C Aggressor trip with my daughter who will be doing her OW checkout dives, and the warmer and calmer the better. Any feedback or suggestions on alternatives would be greatly appreciated!

    PADI Nitrox, Computer vs. table class

    I took the PADI Nitrox class last year while on a Liveaboard trip. Glad I did, but I quickly realized that with 5 dives a day the tables are essentially worthless since you dive on computer anyway. I tried to practice on the tables but quickly was off the charts. I'm having my son take the...

    Owning your own Oxygen Analyzer

    PADI AOW Junior Certification question

    My 14 year old son will be taking the PADI AOW class on an upcoming liveaboard trip. They suggested he read through the material before we go so he'll be somewhat up to speed and can focus more on the skill work, and not have to burn as much of his surface intervals reading while on the trip (5...
