    Jules Lagoon- Key Largo

    Bill, yes you can actually have a pizza brought to you for lunch or you can stay the night and have it then. If you really want to get into what we do have a look on the overnight stay page. We offer a visit to our Marine Lab with our lead Marine Biologist for a little vacation/education. We...

    Jules Lagoon- Key Largo

    Joe, Thanks for the wonderful comments about our lodge. Ian is the best Mission Director for the simple reason...he was one of the men and women who carried through with the whole idea of living underwater. Really glad you had a chance to meet Jim Elliot and Wihelmina. We have been working...

    Just bought a SeaLife DC1200...did I make a good purchase?

    Thank you all so much for the input. I just posted some pictures I took of the PADI IE this Sunday on our facebook page and I'm sure they could come out better for land shots but I'm really just getting into it. I will be working up the courage to actually get in the water with it soon. I...

    Building My Bucket List of Place to Dive in North and South America

    Hi, I live and work in the Florida Keys. I have dove the Duane, the Bib and Spiegel Grove shipwrecks. Those are on the deep side of Molasses Reef. They are great dives. The Christ statue of the Deep is nice too. I also work at Jules' Undersea Lodge the only underwater lodge in the world...

    Just bought a SeaLife DC1200...did I make a good purchase?

    Thanks to you both for your replies. I have always wanted to have an underwater camera that's easy to see and use. I'm 56 and those little camera's are not easy to see with a mask on. We also have a go pro but I can't even see the icons to know what's what. Teresa

    Just bought a SeaLife DC1200...did I make a good purchase?

    Hi everyone, Today I bought a SL DC1200 and I just want to know if anyone out there has one and are happy with it? I have seen some the footage from one and I think what I liked about it was that it was large enough for me to see everything. I read a thread about one flooding and is that a...

    Certification Levels

    In the 11 1/2 years I have been at Jules' Undersea Lodge, I have run into so many "certified" divers that have NO idea of what they are doing. You ask, how long have you been diving? They say, oh several years. Then watch them put their gear on totally backwards. Scares me sometimes...

    regulators out of parts

    RonFrank, Yes it is a bit costly but, you must have another look on the specials page and the group economy page. Big New Year savings. Thanks for the tip on the FL. forum. I'll go have a look. Thank you.

    Regulators that work but have gone out of circulation

    awap, Sorry, they are Genesis regs and I have them shelved. I am going to find out if there are any companies that carry the repair kits but, my technician says he can't find any. We just bought 20 Brut's and they work great. Thanks Teresa McKinna

    regulators out of parts

    VooDooGasMan, I see you are a solo diver! Is that an SSI cert? I have had a few solo divers come to Jules' and I have to tell you..it scares me. My husband was a commercial diver in the oil field and he has taught me well about safety and then comes along the solo diver. Of course my...

    regulators out of parts

    I want to thank all of you for your help on the Genesis regs I have shelved. I read from one reply that I should have asked my question anonymously and that they would never go to Jules' Undersea Lodge because we used old gear. I don't know where that person got that idea but, whatever right...

    Regulators that work but have gone out of circulation

    I don't believe that I said I rented this gear. We have over 25 sets of gear that have just been bought and I was just inquiring as to the legal side of things. I am very proud of Jules' Undersea Lodge and the people who work there. I think asking for public guidance and using my real name...

    Regulators that work but have gone out of circulation

    The regulators are Genesis and I am not looking to cut any corners on the diving equipment I rent. Jules' Lodge is not a dive shop but, we do rent gear out to our customers for the lagoon and guests who stay with us. It is true you can be sued for anything. First and fore most my major...

    Regulators that work but have gone out of circulation

    I rent gear and have about 10 regulators that work but, can no longer get repair kits. I have been asked by my technician to look up the liability on using gear, even though they work, as rentals and the liability it holds. Does not being able to get parts make the regulators obsolete and a...

    Florida Keys in April

    Teresa Mckinna here again. Yes, Sea Dwellers is a very good dive operation. FYI I just found out that their boat or one of their boats is out of commission. I don't want to go into details but, let's say it was operator error. I am not sure how long it will be out. The operation is run by...

    Certified Diver taking Discover Scuba?? (Bonaire)

    Hi there. I just joined ScubaBoard and saw your question. I think your friend would feel more comfortable if they had someone they know looking out for them. However, I work with instructors all the time and they say it is hard to teach someone if they are constantly looking over their...
