I am planning a dive vacation early next year and was looking into liveaboards. To me liveaboards make most sense when they get you to diving not accessible by land. In other words if I can dive Belize by land and liveaboard, I would do land because why would I want to miss the Mayan ruins...

I have looked at drysuit designs and was wondering if the pockets create drag? I was thinking you would be swimming with a pocket full of water and that does not sound like fun. No?

Hello - I would like to come to the West coast and spend a few days diving. I was wondering what is the best time / season to come and dive Washington coast? I am interested in wild life photography and would like to photograph the Octopus (if I am lucky). Also ... do you guys get orca...

I was looking to buy drysuits and came across OSS Systems. OS SYSTEMS - The Drysuit People Does anyone know about this company or has experience with their drysuits? I liked their ULPRO so reviews or feedback would be appreciated. Cheers - S H

It was much much better than the first one. I did 2 quarry dives in 60 ft water. I was able to get my buoyancy right this time and swimming around was not a problem. I was able to manage most of the buoyancy with only the wetsuit. BCD was only a surface flotation device for me. This is what is...

It was like someone tried to kill me by sealing me in a garbage bag and throwing me into the pool. Just like a wetsuit becomes part of your body and you become ONE with the ocean, that was not the "Zen" of a dry suit. It was like swimming around in a trash bag that thinks its an air balloon...

I was planning diving in an area where there is no dive support. All other gear can be taken by plane but what about this? Has anyone ever taken a compressor on a flight?

I dont know what happened in that last post! The poll just vanished and the post repeated itself! :confused: Anyway ... Here is the poll. Sorry :kiss2: Best wreck diving in USA .... here we go

Where would one find the best wreck diving in USA? Why?

I am just curious if the place is accessible during winter months? Anyone? Thanks - S H

I am thinking of going there this January but it seems like diving only happens there when they have a group of 4 to 6? The way they are emphasizing this on their websites tends to imply that rarely do they have this number. Does that mean that if you go there all by yourself, you are totally at...

Do people dive the Great Lakes during winter or does diving around the lakes comes to a total halt? I will soon be getting a dry suit and I was thinking where should my brand new drysuit loose its virginity. Any ideas? :eyebrow:

Hello - I am from Washington DC and have been fantasizing about ice diving for quite some time now. I look at some of the pictures you guys post and they fascinate me beyond anything! If I come to Canada to do ice diving specialty, where should I go? Any destination or dive center...

I am based in DC / Virginia area and looking for an ice diving instructor. Can anyone recommend a destination / dive center for training and ice dives? I would not mind traveling further northwards into Canada if the diving up north gets better. Please help ... Kind regards - S H

Hello - Looking to get into some ice diving this winter. Does anyone have a regulator recommendation? Thanks - S-H

I was just curious! Not the dive-shop owners but free-lance scuba instructors... Freedom to travel and teach wherever you want? Fun? Boring? Anyone ever done the pennyless wanderer diving vagabond thing? :popcorn:

My LDS is offering a very good deal for a dive and stay package in Cozumel in mid January. I did some research and the more I read the more double minded I get. The price is very tempting and so are the topside attractions like Mayan history etc. But I was wondering if someone could give an...

I am just curious because I have a non-diving wife who gets sea sick. I was thinking of doing an Aggressor trip sometime and dont know what to do with my wife. She wants to come because she thinks that even if one is not diving, just being out in a small boat drifting out in the open sea is...

Hello - I was looking into buying a dry suit primarily so that my diving doesnt halt during the winters. Then the thought of owning a dry suit gave me fantasies of ice diving :confused: Realistically speaking dry suits are heavy investment and since I would have to travel to use them I...

I have been reading about different liveaboards and what kind of experience they would offer in terms of the dives themselves. From what I understand, most liveaboards could easily be classified among these two, extremely broad categories. 1. There are thrill and adrenaline driven...
