    Dive Shop for cruise passengers

    My wife and I just dove with AquaWorld, booked through the ship, in Cozumel earlier this month. It was a great trip, plenty of room on the boat, and a fantastic crew.

    Nitrox: No Decompression Limit - Ascent

    I wish I could set my PDC into some sort of training mode while on land. I'd like to be able to go through all of the screens and clearly see exactly what is displayed where as if I were say, 40 feet down. It's one thing to look at images in a book or online and something else to be able to...

    Breathing Giving Me Trouble

    Your certification course should start in a shallow pool. That really helps is the mental aspect as your brain knows you can simply stand up and breathe normally if something goes wrong. From there, you may progress to a deeper pool, then natural bodies of water like a lake or ocean.

    Key Largo / Sundiver / Rainbow Reef trip report

    Just a hint for everyone that when you find a vacation rental you like on one site, look at other sites as well. Owners sometimes have different prices on the different listing sites - meaning, with a little extra searching, you can find a lower price. I typically find the best prices on...

    How to overcome fear of lower depths?

    Three hours is a long time. I'd try to split that in two. As for the mask exercise, yeah, in the beginning, that is a little freaky! I found it helped a great deal to really focus on my breathing. Keep it nice and slow and deliberate. That focus helped keep my mind off the fact and worry that I...

    Washing a Wetsuit

    My wife and I wash ours on the delicate cycle after every dive trip. No ill effects so far. We hang them inside out, as others have mentioned, to dry.

    Key Largo vs Jupiter/West Palm Beach area

    Just did Jupiter last Sunday, saw two loggerhead turtles, two nurse sharks, two moray eels, a school of barracuda, and lots of fish and other things. The reefs, Bluffs and Scarface, were spectacular. Last month, I was diving in Key Largo for a long weekend. As a new diver myself, this was...

    Make sure no part of your hood is under any part of your mask's frame.

    Controlling and reducing air consumption

    Apologies, but as a new diver, I'm not sure what sculling is. In golf, it's when you errantly hit the top of a golf ball. That makes me think it's when you're head is up too high. Is that right?

    Hi Everyone, new here. Introduction and some newbie questions.

    I'm a newly certified diver and love it. Having gone through the NAUI course, I can't answer your question about SSI. A properly fitting mask won't leak. I rarely have to clear mine, and when I do, it's usually my fault - I bump it, or didn't get all of my hair out of the way, for example...

    Challenges in your first 100 dives?

    How long ago was this? I'm hoping enough time has passed that it's not an Alien thing!

    Have you been “accepted” by a school of fish, or made a fish friend?

    My wife and I were diving in a Lake on Sunday and had a school of fish follow for a bit. We were taking photos/videos of them, then we swam for a bit, stopped, turned and found them right behind us. That was cool. I assume they were looking for handouts.

    Crossing Agencies

    My brother has been PADI OW certified since 1992 and I am a newly NAUI OW certified diver. We'd like to take AOW together. Is it possible to take AOW from an agency other than the one where you received OW? Asked another way (for clarity) - Can my PADI OW certified brother take NAUI's AOW course?
