Looking for a dive site recommendation. Some friends and family (and I) will be heading down to Key West tomorrow for a week. We'll bring a couple waverunners (not for diving from) and will also rent a boat for a couple days. My daughter and I dive so we were thinking of taking a tank each...

Just returned from our trip to Grand Cayman staying at Morritts and diving with Ocean Frontiers (they were fantastic!). Can't say enough great things about OF. Six of us went, just me and my youngest daughter (14) dive. Got certified a year ago and had 20 dives under our belt going down...

I did a number of searches and kind of got bits and pieces but wanted to specifically ask - Which spring would be the most interesting, fun dive for my daughter and I. We got certified last summer and have been diving every month since. Usually we're doing 60' drift dives off of West Palm...

Not AC powered w/a fan, just needed something to keep inside the house in the shower or tub to let the boots drip dry inside with air condition (low humidity) so hopefully the boot funk will cease or be minimized. I think I got the mildew smell out w/some Odoban from Home Depot. Hopefully this...

So my daughter and I are learning as we go, as everyone else has. My hope is to not make expensive mistakes (ie. buying all kinds of thermal protection we don't need/won't wear). Our diving is going to be the waters around Florida which will be Gulf and Atlantic in the Southern half of the...

Stopped in at an estate sale today and on a table in the garage was a pile of diver's gold! Soft weights... 4ea 4lb'ers, 2ea 2lb'ers. 20lbs total. No price on them, so I asked the fella how much. He kinda looked at them, wasn't sure what they were, said how about $10. I said absolutely...

We will be in GC the 2nd week of June, 2018 staying at Morritts. We have a family of 5, 3 teenage girls. Only 2 divers... me (Dad) and my youngest (will be 14 by that time). To balance overall family time with some dive time for me and my youngest, I think we'll do 3 2-tank AM dives (leaves...

My daughter and I got certified this past summer (OW, Jr for her - she's 13). We've basically been diving once a month since then and hope to continue that trend in the future. We've also gotten our EAN40 certs. We are very comfortable in the water and have been having a blast down here in...

They rock! My daughter and I just got back from a morning dive w/Captain Jamie and Robert (@Aristakat Charters). 6-pack boat. We went with another couple we met when my daughter and I were getting certified. Both are VERY well seasoned divers and dive with Aristakat quite a bit, so they were...

What do you bring on a boat with you as it relates to "saving a dive"? I was trying to see what others brought on our last dive boat a few weeks ago and I don't recall anyone bringing much more than their equipment and maybe a small dry box (wasn't sure what was in it). I take a dry box with...

My daughter (13) and I had our first boat dive yesterday. Went out of West Palm Beach, FL. We researched recommendations from Scubaboard and called around. Interestingly, another dive operation also recommended Pura Vida since my daughter was a Junior OW. I am only posting one picture, as...

New here... recently certified... me and my daughter (13) did our first independent shore dive (Blue Heron Bridge) a week ago (tons of fun). I seem to spend a LOT of time reading a LOT of things here on Scubaboard and have also read Bob's article on dive planning as well. I wanted to find out...

My daughter (13) and I got our OW certification a couple weeks ago so yesterday I picked up a couple tanks and we decided to head down to Blue Heron Bridge (FL) and do our first dive (shore dive) as we wanted to get one more under our belt before our first boat dive Labor Day weekend. You want...

My daughter (13) and I just finished our certification over the weekend. We're definitely in love with the new adventure!! Along the way, I picked up our equipment (everything but tanks) thanks to the vast information on this Board - so thank you guys for your infinite wisdom, opinions, and...

---------------------------------- EDIT/UPDATE (7/1/2017): Oceanic VT 4.1 computer located/acquired, this thread can be closed. ---------------------------------- Hello, I'm looking to purchase an Oceanic VT 4.0/4.1 w/Transmitter for my daughter so that we can dive with the same computers. If...

Just thought I'd drop in and say Hi. A friend of mine told me about this Board so thought I'd join. One of my daughters and I are in the process of getting our Open Water. Just finishing up the online portion, will take the exam next week and then our dives this time in July. She's pretty...
