There was no problem or questions about dive computers during our dive. I forgot mine (so pissed) but my friend had his. They give you the stats of the dive at the end for recording in your dive log. They do time limit you, but you can use as much air as needed. So if you run through air...

No this was pre-covid, last year.

For those who haven't been, I wanted to update with details of our trip: First, you don't need a park ticket, as you meet just outside the park gates. Facing the gates, it's the building to the right which used to be an old camera/film store. Once everyone is there, you are taken in, gear...

For those interested, this is one of the articles I found that talks about DCS and exercise, and new studies saying that it has been shown to decrease DCS. The Effects of Exercise on SCUBA Divers

Being new to diving, I'm excited to get out whenever I can. We have friends going to Aruba for a half-marathon, and normally we would join them for the run as well as enjoying the island. I would like to get some diving in, but I know during my reading/classes it was discussed about avoiding...

I started with a vest style BCD during my open water training, and then tried a back inflate style after. It's definitely different, but I found that it really helped my position and trim in the water. At the surface I have the same issue sometimes with it wanting to push me forward. Based...

I would agree with the above statements, especially the martial art once since I taught for a few years. You should always consider yourself a beginner, because you can always learn. But in the sense of skills and competency, its when you crest that hill of 'I don't know what I'm doing... I...

I just went through this myself. I basically did what you are doing, asking people their opinions, and Googling reviews. I probably changed my mind three times. Talk to your dive shop about what they recommend, and then look at what other people suggest. What I found earlier this year were...

Thanks everyone for the comments. We just got back, and as Bubblesong said, the dives were organized through Fantasea . Walked right down the dock and got onto the boat, captain and dive lead were very friendly. We dove on the Lartington for the first dive, and the Constellation and Montana...

Thanks for that. That's my plan, and I have a bag that was part of the purchase for my gear with rollers similar to what you are saying. Having no experience with taking my dive equipment on a trip, I keep coming up with questions that I feel I'm overthinking. Thankfully it's a cruise, so I...

This is a little more of a general cruise/diving question, but has anyone run into issues when taking their gear on these sorts of trips? I see that knives are considered restricted items, and that the excursion provides all your gear. I understand a lot of divers may not have or want to bring...

I'm planning on this next year. My wife loves Disney, and last time we were there we got to watch divers swim by the dinner table. Now I'm excited to give it a try from the other side.

Thanks for the info. I'm just beginning to feel out what options are available, so it's all good info.

Thanks! That helps a lot. Any you'd recommend yourself?

Hi everyone, I'm looking for any recommendations for both wrecks and ships/orgs/groups to dive with in the OCNJ area. My wife and I go there regularly during the year, so for next year I'd like to look into where/who/what my options are. AC is not far up the road, but if there are dive...

Thanks for that Bubble. I was hoping that there might be something within walking distance we could hit right on the beach. We just got certified this year, but we've been hitting the quarry near us over and over, so we are excited for anything different. Even if the beach isn't super...

Hey everyone, We have an upcoming cruise to Bermuda, and are signed up for the 2 tank dive excursion. I can't seem to find any reviews or info regarding it beyond the standard verbiage on the main cruise page. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a chance to try out this excursion and...
