HI, I'll be in Miami from May 27 to June 2nd for a family event and would like to do a couple of dives while there. Can anyone recommend a good dive op in Miami with interesting day trips or wreck dives? Thanks! :)

This report is for a trip taken this past August, so it's a bit outdated, but better late than never! I was in Singapore for work and wanted to squeeze in a weekend of diving. After extensive research here on SB and elsewhere online, I decided to go with the White Manta Liveaboard. I travel...

Diving in Curacao I had an unusual, painful and very debilitating accident, but as the emergency doctor said "if you're going to have a diving accident, this is the accident to have....". It was also stupid and embarrassing, but I'm sharing the story here because I've seen others make the same...

I leave next weekend for Singapore and China on business. I'll be diving in Singapore and will then spend 10 days in Shanghai for work and will have all my diving gear with me. Is there any diving in the area and, if so, what is it like?

I'm shopping for a PLB to take on a diving trip to the South China sea and I'm trying to decide between the ResQ Link and the Fast Find models. Both brands/products have similar features, with the exception that the Fast Find fits into a Custom Divers cannister whereas the ResQ Link has to be...

I have just been certified as a PADI wreck diver and would like to continue training in order to dive the wrecks at Truk, at the graveyard of the Atlantic and elsewhere. Many of these wrecks lie between 120 and 165ft and, in talking with recreational divers who dove them, I have been struck by...

I've been wanting to get certified as a wreck diver and dive the Spiegel Grove and I recently had the opportunity to cross both off my diving dream list. I travel solo and had a scary experience a few years back, so now I research every destination and dive op extensively. ScubaBoard is great...

Anyone from ScubaBoard going to Curacao in December 2011? Borrowing from the tradition in the Cozumel and Roatan forums, and in the interest of meeting other divers from ScubaBoard, I will start a list for December. Reply with your details. December 2011 12/25 - 01/05 - private home...

I'll be returning to Curacao for the Xmas holidays.:D I'm traveling alone and looking for buddies to dive with. I'm staying with family in Willemstad and will have a rental car. Have AOW, Nitrox & rescue diver certifications.

I have the opportunity to buy a new ScubaPro Aladin 2G Air/Nitrox computer for a very good price and I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion or comment on this device? It would be part of package that includes a regulator and a LadyHawk BC. I haven't researched computers extensively because I...

I'm leaving for Key Largo this Tuesday for a wreck diving course with Ocean Divers.:D I chose them based on recommendations on this forum and after interviewing several operators by phone. I was impressed with their focus on safety. I'm staying at the Marina del Mar and was wondering what to...

I'll be in Miami on Thursday and Friday and would like to dive one full day and one half day. If you were able to do 3 dives in the area what would they be? What dive shops would you recommend? I have my AOR, Nitrox & rescue certifications. Thanks in advance! Johanna

This was my 6th diving trip to Curacao. I logged 10 dives - 7 were shore [Westpunt, Jeremi, Lagun, Porto Marie, Boka Sami, Snakebay & Superior Producer] and 3 were boat dives [Mushroom Forest, Oostpunt & Awa Blanku]. I did the shore dives with Trunk Divers and with a buddy. This was my first...

I'll be in Curacao from June 13 to the 23rd for a family celebration. The first weekend will be taken up with family & friends but from Monday, June 16 to Saturday, June 21 I'm on my own and I'd love to spend the week diving - day & night. I'm traveling solo so I do need a buddy - or...

Hello, I'm buying my first reg and saw that Mares now has a model designed specifically for women - the Mares Proton Metal 42 She Dives. Is anyone familiar with it? What would the difference be between the men's Proton Metal 42 and the She Dives model? I'm small [5'-2"], so equipment that...

Hello, I will be in Curacao December 21-January 4 and I'm looking for diving buddies. I have my Advanced Open Water certificate + a deep diving specialty. Got both in Curacao the last two summers, so I know many of the diving spots. I lived in Curacao for 10 years [as a teenager]...

Hello, I'm new to the board and wanted to say hello. Just got back from 10 days diving in Curacao, where I got my Advance Open Water certificate and a PADI Deep Diving Specialty. The trip was pure bliss - dove twice a day, eight days in a row!! Now I'm trying to figure out when and...
