My husband and I are spoiled by warm clear Caribbean waters or the less warm but still clear Hawaiian waters. But it's frustrating to have to wait all year for the next dive. Took our boat out around Orange Beach and it was essentially no-viz till you got to 40ft. Nothing much to see, but still...

Talked with Gabe last night (Kaimana Divers: SCUBA Diving in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii, Waikiki) finalized the air, hotel and car this morning (finally put that entertainment book coupon for $200 off an orbitz vacation to use) and we are BOOKED for Oahu for August 6-13 :D I've been once to Oah'u...

went to Bonaire in April but my heart wasnt really into it (it was my first trip since my dad died and that plus a few other things just really kept things subdued). was supposed to go on a Blackbeard's Cruise in the Bahamas in June but that was a complete disaster... so instead of...

:D Tuesday, July 07, 2009 It's a Girl! MEMPHIS, Tenn. – “Asali,” an African elephant at the Memphis Zoo gave birth to a female calf at approximately 10:23pm on July 6 after a gestation of 1 year, 9 months, and 15 days. Currently, Asali and her calf are in healthy, stable condition...

Scubadviser | Scuba Diving | Dive Centre Reviews | Liveaboard Reviews is a website specifically for reviewing dive operators, shops and liveaboards. they are still getting things up and running but have a decent start. i did not go into their other sections that go into the eco and political...

My dad was the father of three little girls that had to be taken care of so when the desire to learn to scuba hit him, he put it off. When I got certified 5 years ago and went on my first dive vacation, my dad told me how he'd always wanted to try it. But by that time he had lost 1/2 a lung...

When I can, I will give more details, but I've played around too long and will be late for work :dork2: HAHA!! but here's the quick version!! Stayed at All West Apartments in West Punt. Dove the house reef (Playa Piscado) and the reef 2 minutes down the road (Alice In Wonderland) at...

finally had a dive trip go bust Went down to Orange Beach, Alabama for a week and the scuba gods just were not going to cooperate. It was a little bumpy in the intercoastal waterway but when we hit the Gulf, holy waves Batman! I was sore from the boat ride out to 3 mile barge!! Got...

A little light humor -- good for the soul!!1 Pick the month you were born in: January--I kicked February--I loved March--I did the Macarena with April--I played with May--I choked on June--I murdered July--I sang to August--I had lunch with September--I...

with a little bit of searching, I was able to come up with several discussions on coral stings and links to DAN's FAQs here at Scubaboard. I have pretty good buoyancy and control and I stay away from coral most of the time, but last week in Cozumel the currents were ripping and I think my DM...

we didn't want to push for information, but last week a diver was picked up by a Dive Paradise boat after being found on the bottom. we were coming in from our dive and the paramedics were attempting CPR but the diver was not revived. he looked to be late 20's and in pretty good shape. i don't...

Went to a quarry this weekend knowing it would be "cold" but not realizing what exactly cold meant. My buddies doubled up their wetsuits but neither had hoods. I never got past 10 feet because I was taking my time to equalize when they both called the dive... which was fine with me, since even...

It was explained to me that the PROPER way to read those little "fortunes" or wise sayings we get out of the Chinese fortune cookies is to read them aloud with your dinner guests and end each with "..in bed.." Well, that just puts a whole new twist on things, don't it? Remarkably...

what a wonderful (albeit expensive) hobby and i have just this past week logged my 50th dive :D now i know lots of you have MANY more dives than that, but i still feel so much like a :newbie: and i'm loving every minute of it :fruit: last week i spent Saturday night thru Wednesday...

booked with The Scuba Company out of New Orleans and we're leaving out of Pascagoula, MS.. 3-tank dive off a charter boat. Going with another SB Member (oilman66) who WORKS on a rig in the Gulf... not the particular one we'll dive, but still cool

Cozumel is known for its drift diving, and it was fantastic but we did have a scary incident. I'm not sure exactly how scary because I still do not know how close we REALLY were to having an incident. Cozumel gets nortes.. it's some kind of current that passes thru twice a year i think...

there are so many great photos on this board.. just wondering if anybody is entering Rodale's Scuba Diving magazine photo contest. i'm still learning how to work my UW camera and flash (which is difficult to do with no local water to practice in other than the pool) but i'm going to SoCal...

I'm going out there to visit a friend who does NOT dive but might be talked into bubble watching from a boat... but since he is not a diver, he's of no help finding a dive site or charter or anything. I'm not lugging all my equipment, and I have no experience shore diving in the ocean. I've only...

i've been waiting 4 years to do this trip but thats okay cause now i'm scuba certified and can get even more out of it. gonna do all the tourist things including the luau, heli tour to sacred falls, submarine tour, dolphin encounter and even shark cage experience. all that PLUS scuba? i'm just...

i just got certified this year and began my classes in February if you can believe it. i am always hot. always. i attribute it mostly to my high blood pressure, my excess weight and genes :eyebrow: i just came in from lunch an it's only 80F but the humidity is probably around 70% and i cannot...
