Can anyone tell me the water temperature? What type of wetsuit does one need in Pensacola over Memorial Day?

Mr Green, I am headed to Rhodes in July. How was your trip? Did you dive Rhodes? Anything you could share with me?

Okay, I've been back for awhile. Anyway, the trip was great. Took ya'lls advice to cross ankles and relax, it still took me three or four minutes to descent the first dive. But after that I was super confident and everything was fine. Didn't need a refresher course -- at least not to...

When did O'Neill stop using the pirate logo on it's wetsuits? My LDS has what I think is the perfect O'Neill wetsuit, but it must be "old" to have the discontinued logo. Any thoughts? It's a 1/2 neopren yellow/blue full warm water women's suit. He has it priced at 1/2 off. I'll...

All packed and ready to go!

Does the Divi on Cayman Brac require a check out dive? Doesn't seem likely as we arrive Saturday night, prepaid for six 2-tank morning dives and depart the next Saturday. So don't know when we would squeeze one in. The Divi on Bonaire did require on - that was what brought on my...

Thanks all - sounds like a great plan! I'm feeling more relaxed already.

Thanks Jim & Don, My failure to be able to relax is the key to the problem. I am so wound up about the trip and the diving and the fish and the coral. And I have waited so long and saved up so much money. Ehhhyaaayee, it's a wonder I ever descend. Okay, maybe I'll read up on...

Mike, Ha, Ha. Pretty sure my husband would take umbrage.... Diver0001, I just can't seem to sink, no matter how much weight I have on.

Hi, I'm about to go diving at Cayman Brac after a year off. I did not have the opportunity to get any practice dives in at a local pool or such. Each time I dive after a long lag, the first couple of dives I have a great deal of difficulty descending (not to mention my bouyancy). So I...

LuvsPoodles; In my three-four years of diving, no one has ever made a mean remark to me about my size, at least not to my face. So, are you back from your trip? How did it go? Please let us know. LuvsAussieTerriers

Frank O said "I wouldn't use a pill-based decongestant such as Sudafed while diving, one of the reasons being that I'm usually diving on nitrox. However, I haven't run across any evidence that enough spray decongestant gets into the bloodstream to cause an issue with nitrox." I have never...

Thanks all. Think I will bring it and rent if need be.

I own a lycra skin wetsuit that I wear to protect myself from bumps and for slight warmth. I recently lost weight and the suit is two sizes larger than my current size. I tried it on (dry) and it doesn't really seem that loose. How tight should it be? We are diving off Cayman Brac in...

My husband and I will be the ones with the Texas accents..... 230 hours and counting!

We stayed at the Divi on Bonaire last December. This December we'll be at the Divi on Cayman Brac. Be happy to post afterwards. -dd Because this is our second stay with the Divi, they gave us a free upgrade.

We stayed at the Divi on Bonaire a year or so ago. The food and the service were great. So now we are booked at the Divi on CB in December. Thanks for this thread, it was just what I needed! Can't wait......

I have allergies (to anything green) and sinus problems. Diving seems to clear out the sinus'. I am cautious and careful to equalize often. I only seem to have problems on very shallow dives, under 25 ft or so. Good luck, dd

Thanks all. I did not know the scientific name, but thought the common name was mirrorwing. I also use google image search and corbis.com, but I was hoping for a better photo from a board member. I am constantly amazed by the quality of photos from the scuba board members. Thanks...

Does anyone have a photo of the fish that "fly"? We saw them from a boat off Bonaire. They are relatively small, blue and appear to fly out of the water for 10 or 15 feet. Thanks, dd
