We are considering a trip with friends to sunset beach NC. We have been diving a few years, but have few dives in, all in Mexico. Can anyone recommend a dive op and/or sites near sunset beach that would be within our skill level (so preferably NOT a huge cattle boat... I don't know if they...

Hope this is the right place. We are considering a vacation with friends to Sunset Beach NC in August. DH and I are both newbie divers with all our dives being off Mexico. We would really love recommendations for a dive op to spend a day or two. Thanks so much. Amy

I don't know if this is the best place for this, if not, I'm trusting the mods will move it around.... :) I have a friend (photographer) who just shared this site with me and I thought I would share it all with YOU, the ones I admire. I have nothing to gain... I just can see possibilities for...

So I just got another.... "Join us Today" from Padi. Why would I want to do this??? Any thoughts out there? (This doesn't need to turn into a PADI bash, they're not my fav either... just asking for some opinions).

We are headed to Mexico for some more diving. Question is this... DH does not have a BC yet, he chose other options (computers etc.) over the BC since he is easy to fit. (Of course he wants one... but you know... gear is a bit at a time!). So my question... without having a BC to set up with...

Where to go dive... ok DH and I have free tickets on AirTran to anywhere they fly (interactive map) http://www.airtran.com/route-map/city_information.aspx We were thinking Bahamas, but are not set on anything. Would love to have a dive trip, but inexpensive (cheap hotel, good diving). Our...

DH and I have free round trip tickets anywhere on Airtran (did anyone else save their Wendy's cups last year??) :D We are thinking Bahamas... I would LOVE to do a dolphin dive.... we just redeemed our points tonight, now we have one year from today to fly. So... is this a good destination...

I know I signed up eons ago when this started.... seems like several lifetimes ago, including a still birth (6 months gestational) this spring... so finally starting to feel like I need to get myself back together.... what do I need to know or do to get active here...are there specific weigh in...

We are headed out to the riviera maya and are planning on renting a car... the online quote is $144 for the week, but I'm sure this does not include all the required insurances and we can't fiind info on those costs... anyone have any idea what to expect? We just want to be sure we can afford...

Hi all, I know this is a bit beneath you, but you're such good folks I'm hoping you'll have an idea. We are headed to Cancun with friends... she is a pro photographer, but not a diver. We are going to take them snorkeling and she is interested in trying to take some photos, but really...

I haven't been to the board in a long long time and I see there are a number of changes. I was wanting to find a place to show a friend a bunch of the great pictures you all take... when I click on photo gallery, it asks for a log in and says I am not allowed in... :(... I know you all have to...

Ok, I am a new diver, and haven't even been for over a year. This was the summer I promised DH to brave the cold quarries just to get some down time!!!! I make a point of staying OFF this board when I can't dive, becuase if I start, it's all I think about! However, here I am once again...

Ok... for you med folks out there, here it is. I have never had problems with any kind of motion sickness until my first pregnancy and we spent 3 hours driving to Taxco, in the hills above Acapulco. Sick the whole way... since then some tendancies to queasiness given the right situation, but...

This is from a thread in the Mexico section... but thought maybe it should be more general... I know it is not specifically about scuba... but it is about our SI time...(if it needs to be moved, mods, feel free!) Well, we're back from Mexico. Ended up taking suitcases FULL of school supplies...

Just trying to decide on renting a car this time. We usually do, but we won't be travelling as much this time so considering just using the taxis. Any round figures on taxi fare... mayan Palace to PDC MP to Puerto Morales MP to Akumal Thanks so much!!! Leaving in 2 Days!! YAY!

A kind of off question... We are headed to PDC next week and I am wondering if there are organizations there that work with orphans, or other disadvantaged kids that we could bring some things to. I am not looking for a lecture... having been all over the world I am all too familiar with the...

Anyone been at the Mayan Palace in the last week or so? Wondering about pool temps there? Leaving on Sunday.. concerned the pools will be freezing and kids will be crazy!!! Thanks

Any of you coastal people seen this flick? Opens nationwide this weekend, but showing selected areas now..... One more water movie to add to the list of unrealistic and dopey movies that have scuba!! (I haven't seen it yet!) Let us know what you think..... :)

We are headed to the Playa del Carmen area South of Cancun (again) in January. My question is this... We usually only get one day to dive, since we have our little kids with us, so we would like to maximize our bottom time. It seems that most places offer only 3 tank dives a day... Can't we...
