I don’t actually need the chair on board, I’m just worried about them seeing me arrive in it… Good point about getting written confirmation!

Yes, your last paragraph is how I have done it since 2005 when I had my spinal fusion.

Because of worries about damaging the boat? I don’t need it on board, just to get to the dive shop.

I really don’t need anything beyond a place to park while we’re our on the boat, that’s the issue - I look far less capable than I am rolling up 🤣😂

Newly *visibly* disabled and fiancé wants to dive on our honeymoon (Bimini/Nassau) - if I show up and say I’m fine once I’m in the water will they still let me go down? I do have a doctors’ letter saying a need to gear up in the water from when I didn’t “look” disabled. My limitations are...

Can you tell me if gloves are allowed to be worn on a dive in Grenada? (Not that I want to touch things, I just don't trust my wedding rings in the resort safe...)

That was what I concluded, haha I used to intake internal IT work orders at a bank and we had a code PEBKAC - "problem exists between keyboard and chair"

Thanks all, I knew someone would know! When there's too much information it's sometimes more confusing than not enough.

Thanks everyone! We're going to end up taking it here at home as a combination of eLearning and class time at a local dive shop. It will actually be through SDI because that's what our only local shop teaches. I'm also going to surprise DH with a dive computer for our anniversary :-D

Tried searching the other threads, but drowning in information :confused: DH and I are getting Nitrox certified ahead of our upcoming vacation. I wanted to surprise him with a dive computer for our wedding anniversary and have pretty much settled on the Cressi Leonardo for a number of reasons...

That's what I get for reading in a hurry, hahaha! Can't believe I read that so many times without noticing...

He's a workaholic. It's a large Silicon Valley company primarily know for their search engine that actually prides themselves on work/life balance; unfortunately he doesn't work that way...

Currently looking at PADI eLearning Enriched Air Diver, so we'd be able to complete the instructor part on vacation in Grenada next month. (Yes, I checked with the resort.) The syllabus says 12-15 hours of coursework, but I'm seeing in other threads that it's only a couple of hours of material...

Email sent! Thanks!

Upon further research, tendering seems to point to Patong. Does that sound right to you?

The port time is 7am to 8pm; it does say tendered. Not sure about Patong vs. Panwa - does Princess use both?

DH and I are going to be in Phuket in March. Princess is offering a snorkel excursion but no diving - can anyone recommend someone reliable to pick us up from the ship, take us diving, and bring us back to the ship? We are both OW certified. I have a long spinal fusion requiring me to gear up...

Hi, the hubs and I are going to be staying at the Reserve at Paradisus Palma Real for a week starting next Thursday. Very short notice, which is so unlike us! I don't find any threads about the dive op, Scuba Caribe, that was mentioned as operating out of the resort, for a few years. Can anyone...

I had a vague idea that I would get a GoPro for my husband's "big" holiday present this year. Just went online to purchase and there are so many options! :confused: All the threads discussing this seem to be from around 2012. For holiday divers, what would you recommend? We are certified to...
