Congrats, and as it has been said, remember what you saw, and always dive as safe as you can and within your limits. It's a fantastic experience, and will give you many, MANY hours of enjoyment in the future!

God does THAT bring back memories!!!! Great music too. Couldn't have picked a better soundtrack than that!

I actually work out here now, so I have a place I am living in. There are a lot of hotels here though. Malta is the main island, and you will have better luck staying there than on Gozo. That being said, Gozo is a short ferry ride away, so you will be able to dive up there. I haven't had the...

I just got here, and have had the time to look at a few OPs myself. Divewise and DiveShack seem pretty friendly and knowledgeable. If you get the time to check them out it might be worth your time. Speaking to some divers coming out at the Blue Grotto, the temp is 18 right now, and most of them...

What does that have to do with anything? Since when are you required to switch to their gear just because that's what they sell? Sounds like you got taken advantage of. But glad you were able to sell the gear anyways.

Sure is! Be careful with those little guys. Nasty sting!!! :hurt:

Welcome aboard. Okinawa was where I got started, and haven't stopped yet. Slowed down a little due to my location, but still getting out there and diving when I can. Take advantage of how close all the sites are, and have fun!!

The water right now is a a chilly (for us out here) 68ºF/19ºC so you a wetsuit is mandatory; a hood and gloves are recommended ont he MWR trips. If the winds are blowing the Coast Guard will cancel trips, as it has been mentioned, the boats out here are not designed for rough seas. I will be...

Lucky, lucky, lucky! Maybe he was hiding from something down there below you guys.

God I love this place!! :rofl3: I like to consider it off-gassing! Seems to get me AFTER the dive, but very rarely during.

I love being deep in the Red Sea, (120-140 ish) because that's where the Hammerheads hang out, but being circled by 200-300 Great Barracudas at the 30-50 foot range the last time I was there was breathtaking!

Welcome aboard, and Semper Fi! Coming up on retirement myself. Never thought I would say that!:shocked2:

Welcome aboard! Take a look through the regional forums, and you should be able to find some info to assist you in Ka'anapali. Haven't gotten to go to Hawaii myself, but from what everyone has told me, it's prettty sweet! Be sure you take your training record with you, so you don't get stuck...

This has all been said on here already, but figured I would beat the dead horse some more. #1 Yes. All your skills and practice should have been mastered prior to you entering the open water. In a pool, if something goes wrong, the chance of permanent damage is extremely low. If you had any...

Welcome to the forum! Hopefully we don't disappoint! There's a wealth of knowledge and plenty of sarchasm and good times, so you should have fun. Search around often, and I will almost guarantee you will find what it is you are looking for. If not....ASK!

I have had an issue where mine paired up with a friend of mines transmitter. Unknowingly, we had both cleared our codes pretty close to each other, and had actually pulled codes from each others transmitters. Be sure you keep an eye on that, as it will really throw you for a loop when you hit...

I ran into an issue with my Vyper Air this weekend whilst diving Farasan Banks. I had finished a dive, and was transferring the data to my Netbook. When the transfer was complete, I disconnected the cable like I always do, but the Vyper stayed stuck in "Data Transfer". I let it sit for 30 mins...

Wow. Scary situation. I'm glad they are ok, and also none of the rescue team got injured or worse during the rescue.

NetDoc, Thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. It sounds like she had a fun filled life, and will be missed by all those that got to know her. Just think, she's up there healthy and happy again! Chris

That video made me sick to my stomach. I have seen a lot of gruesome things, but that is just rediculous.
