A good place to store some cheap trimix from Florida? Don’t want to walk 2 tanks to a shore dive? Clean pools or boats for a living and want to cut trips to a dive shop to get fills in half? Breath heavy and use a lot of lead? Or, what I used it for; divemastering for more than one...

No, all the above are incorrect. A SDI DMC has one calendar year from the time they sign up for training to complete their DM. This is in the general standards, it is not located under the divemaster standards. If a DMC goes over a year??? Per the general standards, the DMC is required to start...

As of January 17, 2020 Royal Caribbean and Celebrity use Island Divers. Their dive boat picks you up from just outside the port shopping area and brings you to Anse Conchon and the Ti Kay Resort. At that point you disembark at their dive shop for gearing up and then back on the boat to...

As far as diving pre or post cruise, it's hard to beat Ft Lauderdale. FLL really embraces scuba diving and there is plenty of it to do. Galveston? That part of the Gulf is pretty shallow. There is diving but the boat rides are really long. Hurricane damage? Nothing to keep your cruise and...

"There are two types divers: Those who pee in their regulators, and those that lie about it."

This is exactly what the PSI-PCI visual inspector training is about and the reason it costs $350. Those of us alumni know that Mark and his staff are just an email or phone call away for any questions.

The absolute best place to rise your gear on a cruise ship:

For me, cruising in the Caribbean and scuba go hand-in-hand. I go through a lengthy process of choosing a cruise including (hint, hint) what diving can I do at the debarkation port if I show up a couple days early? And, creating a spreadsheet for each individual port of call. What is the...

Is there a depth which the ambient pressure becomes stronger than the pressure of your pee? Meaning: you open the p-valve to release and suddenly you have a flooded drysuit even though you felt like you had to go like a racehorse. This might be a good question for those really, really deep...

Couple quick notes: Scuba diving can make a great compliment to cruising. Diving experience is one part of the equation, cruising experience is also important. Knowing how the ship works, where they dock, what the ports are like, etc. etc. are all equally important when enhancing your cruise...

Let me throw my 2 cents in: Roatan: Yes, you defiantly want to dive here and my personal opinion; there are some very good reasons to go with the ships dive operator, Anthony Key's. As a dive op, they do a very good job. So for the convenience, it's worth the extra few bucks to schedule...

This is great! Please share whatever red filter you used, it was perfect.

Nail polish is the best paint in the world. You can buy it almost anywhere and it comes with a free brush. Indelible??? Ask any woman who has spilt some in her car; it lasts forever.
