    Diving both Roatan and Utila

    I'm going to Roatan this winter and would also like a day trip to Utila to dive with the Whale Sharks. Are there dive shops on Roatan that offer this - if so any recommendations? And what's the best time of year to see these sharks? Thanks for any and all input.

    Diving Marsa Alam, Egypt

    My husband and I are planning a trip to Egypt, Israel and, of course, diving in the Red Sea. Oct, 2020. My research so far suggests Marsa Alam is the best place. I'm looking for a hotel/dive package - or at least a resort that has a dive shop. Rather than going blind - any recommendations...

    Cressi Ultralight travel BC

    I'm looking to buy a light weight travel BC and looking at the Cressi Ultralight. This one doesn't have a solid backplate. Can it adequately support the weight of the tank without a solid plate? Anyone have experience with this?

    First trip to Belize ... where to go?

    My husband and I plan on diving Belize for the first time. Hubby gets seasick so a live-aboard is out of the question. I've heard that Ambergris Caye no longer has good diving - reefs are in poor condition. I'm looking at Turneffe and some of the other atolls. Question: We're not...

    Which is the best Key in Florida for diving

    I'm going to be in Florida for 4 days in July and want to get in a few dives. Never dove the Keys before and wanted some recommendations of the best location for diving. And good dive shops and hotels. I am budget conscious. Not necessarily wreck or anything deep - just good reefs and...

    I'm going to Cozumel in January and a friend just recommended The Lobster House for dinner. I can't find an address - anyone know where on Cozumel the restaurant is? North - south? Downtown? Walking distance from town? Thanks.:D

    First time visit to Belize for Divers

    We're avid divers and have been diving and loving Bonaire. And now want to try Belize. But i need some help.There's lots of info on live aboards; however, my husband is prone to sea sickness. I assume we should avoid a live aboard or are these ships large enough and stable enough to avoid...

    Diving Air vs Nitrox

    My husband and I are 71 and 66 years young. We were both certified in the 80's and then didn't dive for 20+ years and are now actively back in the water and loving every minute. Neither one of us is nitrox certified - and do we want to be? My husband is somewhat of an air hog so he always...

    Banging my head on the first stage

    Does anyone else have this problem - while diving if I have to look up, and just a few days ago when I did a giant stride off the dock, my first stage bangs me in the back of the head. Ouch! Any suggestions on how I can avoid this? My head has a good size lump!!

    Regulator Maintenance

    I'm looking to buy my first regulator. Among other considerations are maintenance costs. I understand that some regs are more difficult and more expensive to maintain than others. I'm looking for a good entry level reg and octopus that is relatively inexpensive to maintain. Any suggestions?

    IQ-750 convert from wrist to console

    I purchased the IQ-750 wrist model. Now I'd like to put that computer into a console. Do you offer a console boot (without the computer) that I can buy? Or are there any on the market that I can get (used) that would fit? Thanks.

    Buying first regulator

    I'm soon going to be in the market to buy my first regulator, octo, etc. Would love to buy new but just can't afford that right now. Can I buy all the different pieces (1st stage, 2nd, octo, console) from different manufacturers and have them all assembled at a LDS? Would that work? Thanks.

    Diving St. Lucia

    Anyone had any experience diving St. Lucia? I was told by a friend that it's good, but I know nothing about the place. Any suggestions on where to stay, dive shops, sites? I'd be looking for something comfortable but not luxurious - something affordable for the average Joe. We're not into...

    Your thoughts on buying a dive computer

    I'm going to buy my first computer. I want a wrist model, don't particularly need air integration and would like to start at the lower end of the scale - price wise. Has anyone used any of the following that I'm looking at: Genesis React Pro; Aeris Manta; Tusa IQ-750 (Element II) OR IQ-700...
