My first real diving was in Belize last June, and I am now looking for a Costa Rica trip. Not knowing anything about Costa Rica, I would really like to hear your thoughts on where to best dive. I'm looking at May right now, but could push it to June. Any thoughts you "guys" have would be...

I'm going to be in San Diego in two weeks and have been thinking of staying Friday to do a three tank dive, and then fly home on Saturday afternoon. Can anyone recommend a good dive company that guides trips in San Diego?

I am in San Pedro right now, and need some good dive site recommendations. I'm not looking to do the blue hole, light house, etc., but looking for close to the reef sites. So far I have done Christ of the Abyss, Tres Cocos, Esmerelda, and Tackle Box Canyon. If you all in the know could help...

So I am a brand new OW diver with two non-certification dives under my belt (both in an artesian lake, so not really counting), but I am sitting in my condo in San Pedro, Belize right now typing this and can't wait to go diving! I cannot believe how frigging clear the water is!!! I arrived too...

I am headed to Belize in a few days (staying in San Pedro). What are the rules about tipping when you do a two or three tank dive? Also, does the same apply for snorkeling (for non-diving families)?

So on my recommendation, I had my father buy the package that includes the primary, secondary stages. He received them and took them to our LDS to have them checked and to install a SPG hose. When he went to pick it up, the LDS service person showed him that there is a leak between the first...

I just used my local dive shop and for annual service of the primary, secondary, and the Air2 reg (and a BC check) I paid like $250. Not sure if that is over the top or not, and I like to support local, but don't want to get gouged while supporting local. Is online servicing a thing that folks...

Why do I see posts where people are cutting them off their BCs? My Knighthawk has one and I think its pretty comfy and helps me get it snug up to my back. Just curious.

I'm planning on trying a live aboard trip and wanted to try something shorter than a week to make sure that I like them before I invest in a larger trip. Are there any trips from Florida that are like 2 nights and 3 days? Greg

Hey everyone - I've been posting here for a few weeks asking questions/getting advice, but thought it was time to introduce myself. I'm a newly minted SSI OW diver with the minimum 5 dives under my belt. I decided to get my cert when my family decided to go to Belize (San Pedro) for 10 days to...

I purchased a KnightHawk and expect it to be here next week. I'm newly certified and used jacket style BCs for my certification dives, so this is my first back flotation BC. I hear stories that these types of BCs put your face in the water on the surface, but this particular BC has trim...

So I am a newly certified OW diver and looking to gear up. I know I shouldn't consider buying gear, but I like gear, so I am going to likely gear up :). I live in New Mexico and can drive about 1 1/2 hours to the Blue Hole in Santa Rosa for practice dives and to learn better skills (buoyancy...
