Taking our personal boat to the Venice area in July - staying on Casey Key - they say we can't have our boat trailer in their parking lot but can leave at the boat ramp - has anyone done that? Is it safe? Any other place you might suggest to keep our trailer - only going to be there a couple days

Thinking of doing a long weekend sometime this winter to dive with manatees - have a few questions that maybe someone can help with - what time of the year is best - as I understand it Crystal River is one of those places that has the same water temp year round - is that correct? - I understand...

I live in Texas - recently heard that there are good places to dive in Hot Springs, Arkansas - anyone have any favorite spots they can recommend? Is there a best time of the year to dive there? Thanks in advance for any information!

ok so what do most people tip dive masters after a dive? And do you also tip the boat captain and the deck hand?

so just purchased a couple PLB's for our trip to Florida - they are waterproof - but not depth proof - thought we'll just get a box to put them in while we dive - proving to be harder than expected finding a box that they will fit in but that isn't super big overall. Inside dimensions must be...

my husband and I really love shore dives - thinking of going to Grand Cayman next spring - I see Sunset house has on site shore diving - but they are pretty expensive...thinking of maybe staying somewhere less expensive and renting tanks/weights from dive shops for shore dives - anyone have...

have a TG3 and love it - only thing I don't like is it takes a few steps to go from macro to the wide angle - kind of a pain underwater. looks like the TG4 has fixed this issue - looking at photos of the camera is the fish icon on the dial the macro setting? also - will the TG4 fit in the same...

thinking of making some Destin/Ft.Walton runs this summer - can anyone recommend hotels in the area that have parking lots that are boat friendly and close to public boat ramps? thanks

I grew up boating with my parents, married a boat mechanic and have been on the water in all sorts/sizes of boats - never once got sea sick - until I was on a boat to dive - then I've been sick every single time! Don't know if it's my nerves - always a little nervous before a dive - which means...

I have a Galileo dive computer - works fine - having problems connecting it to my laptop to download my dive log. always worked ok, but had to get a new laptop and it has windows 10...can't seem to get it to read when I try to download. I know the infrared sensor is reading because it works...

so, does anyone have any ideas about how to keep your hair out of your face when diving? I cut my hair short, but don't really like it, so letting it grow out again. Not long enough for a ponytail yet, have tried an hood and a do-rag but neither keep my hair out of my face.

Headed to Florida in a few weeks - wanted to do a shark tooth dive - have seen that off the beach is bad right now due to some dredging going on - looked up boat dives for shark teeth - found these two...Florida West and Scuba Monkey - Florida west seems to have a shark tooth dive every day -...

So I typically have issues getting my ears to clear - usually once I'm past about 15' I have no more problems. Have tried several things - use swimmers ear drops a few days prior to diving, start equalizing before my head is even under the water, equalize with every breath and sometimes it...

So, get these e-mails from time to time with deals through PADI on trips - one I just got is for several resorts in Bonaire, as a quick look they look like a good deal - wondering if anyone has ever taken any of these trips and how was it? I do notice you need to read the fine print - the...

so about to take AOW - when we bought books we were told peak performance buoyance would be one of the dives we would do for the course - hubby and I were under the impression that particular dive (or course) was usually done in a pool - no problems with visibility - you can just work on your...

So, have a friend who is interested in learning to dive - wants his daughter to learn as well but she has a few years before she is old enough for certification....his question is this: is it better for him to get certified before she is old enough and have some dives under his belt - or is it...

we're taking a cruise in a couple weeks and have a stop over in Cozumel - have contacted some dive shops there - many are connected with a resort and you can't rent tanks from them if you are not staying at their resort - have heard back from Blue Angel resort and they are willing to rent us...

Ok - this is my confession - I hate the sensation of falling so the giant stride is not my friend. I understand the water will "catch" me, I understand my BCD has air in it that will stop me from sinking like a rock before I am ready to go under - but that feeling of falling between the dock...

ok - I know the first thing everyone is going to say is ask your local dive center - we loved the center where we took our OW classes but have recently been given a bit of a "cold shoulder" from them - we've asked this question but still waiting on an answer so... We have our OW certification -...

Ok - this may sound silly but it's something I've thought about and it wasn't really covered in class and no one has mentioned it when we've visited dive lakes...what is the risk at a lake - or in the ocean - if a storm blows up while you're diving? None of the people at the dive lakes have...
