    Anyone been on the MV Emperor Atoll before?

    Checking out liveaboards for mid-February and they appear to have a good price, wondering if anyone has tried them out before? Thanks!

    PT-053 Housing Filter

    I'm looking to get some color filters for my PT-053 housing, I know I need to get ones that are 52mm, but is there a difference between ones specifically for underwater versus not? Mainly because there is a 4-5X difference in price. Thanks!

    Buddy for Brockville on Saturday?

    I'll be in Ottawa later this week for business and would like to try and get some dives in Brockville on Saturday. This would be my first time diving in the area, either shore or boat would work for me, although shore might be easier for a first-timer? Thanks for any takers.

    How tough is the diving in the Galapagos actually?

    I'm thinking of doing a liveaboard in the Galapagos in May, but many sites and some boats (Humboldt Explorer) are recommending quite a bit of experience. I've got a total of 45 dives, cold water experience in Monterey and British Columbia, and drift diving in Bali and Sipadan. Should I give it a...

    Caye Caulker

    I stayed at Yuma's House, formerly Tina's. The only knock I had against it is it didn't have hot water in the showers, but otherwise, it's right off the water taxi dock and a mere 10 minutes walk or so from Frenchie's and Belize Diving Services.

    Brockville for a n00b - Oct 26/27

    Hi all, planning to possibly be in Brockville/Kingston the weekend of Oct 26-27, since this would be my first dive in the area and relatively inexperienced (30 total dives, half in cold water), are there any operators offering guided dives, boat or shore, that I should look up? Most of the...

    Visiting Montreal on May 15

    I will be in Montreal May 15 (and a few days afterwards). Are there any recommended dives closer to the city without having to make it all the way out to Brockville? I see Kahnawake quarry mentioned in a few places, are there any other recommendations?

    Visiting Victoria area March 26

    I'll be out in the area for a business trip next week and was planning on diving Saturday March 26 in the morning before heading home on Sunday. Doing some research, Ogden Point seems like a fairly relaxed dive and easy to access. Race Rocks looks pretty fun too, but is it suitable for a newbie...

    First set of regs recommendation

    I'm also looking for a good set of entry level 1st+2nd stage regs that will work in cold water 1-2 times per month, also with a hose for dry suit. Any recommendations?

    Fear of Deep/Open Water

    Something seems a bit odd to me now. This was actually supposed to be my dry suit certification dive. I did my night in the pool just fine, and the instructor asked if I wanted to do the ocean dives from the shore (as originally planned) or from a boat (extra fee). I thought the boat would be...

    Fear of Deep/Open Water

    Thanks for the advice. It seems like I just need to take it step by step. The motion sickness + breathing some engine smoke from a malfunction on the way out + first time boat dive + first time in a dry suit + first time diving to that depth was probably too much. This was out in Monterey...

    Fear of Deep/Open Water

    I just finished my PADI OW last month and decided to try a boat dive recently. Besides feeling somewhat sick on the ride out, I also had some problems freaking out with suddenly going down into the ocean 60-75 feet with 10-15' of vis, when the OW was only a shore dive of about 30' max depth...

    Cairns Recommendations

    First post here, this should be a pretty simple questions. Just recently got certified for a trip to Australia next month and will have 2 days in Cairns. Anyone have any recommendations for groups, shops, or trips to look into that will take you out to the GBR? I'm reading the the outer reef is...
