have a trip planned to Grand Cayman in April 2025 - last time we went (2018) we stayed at a very nice private home type place that rented rooms - but apparently they have closed. So, found Paradise Pointe on-line - one bedroom apartments you rent - no pool - no housekeeping - but that's fine...

so, being a DAN member automatically gets you coverage if you have a dive related injury - correct? Does it also automatically cover you if you are on vacation and have a non-dive related accident? First wanted to make sure I had that right - I'm looking into getting travel insurance to cover...

so trying to use saved up Capital one rewards for a flight to Grand Cayman - anyone else use Capital one rewards for flights? Have to find them through Capital one? I can go on the airline page and they pretty much have flights every day - but using capital one rewards they don't seem to have...

So, I've skimmed the forum and did see information about "period swimwear" - but just wondering we are about to go to Florida - family trip - me, hubby, son, daughter-in-love - she will likely be on her period while we are there (and diving) and as I didn't start diving until after menopause I...

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...
