Any underwater success with this camera with the underwater housing? We'll be off to Hawaii end of Feb. or early March - want a good camera for great pictures.

I've never drank so much water in my life than I have in the past three weeks. I'll drink to your suggestion - "TONS of H2O"!

Underwent knee surgery end of Dec., and I too developed a rise in the blood pressure - am on a mild dose however thanks for asking the question. Dr. said I should be fine to dive. Hells bells, if it isn't one thing, it's another - result of aging I guess. I was in our dive shop today where I...

check out e-b ay - I b ought several padi manuals there. great prices if you're lucky.

I totally agree with this. Since hubby won't be able to scuba and I'm still thinking of it, my biggest problem was hooking up with a trustworthy buddy. Have any of you ever dived in Roatan? What's it like? Where are good places to stay?

Thanks - save it - will help me a lot.

What a difference that makes - thank you very much. I can see it. You are amazing - in fact this forum is amazing.

You've got that right. We would have been scared to death - this place is really neat - grass type roofs - they announced they would reopen 12/16/18? In fact flights aren't flying into Cancun at the present.

I forgot one question, if I do become certified, is there any place in the East Bay area of Calif. or the Pennisula that would offer a private session for the classroom study during the daytime and if so, please reply. Thanks.

We cancelled last Sunday when the hotel we were staying in Playa and wouldn't reopen until Dec. 12th. (on our way back from Am. Caye) had the roof blown off. We didn't want to spend our vacation in a big mess since it was our first time. Hubby had vacatin scheduled this this period in Nov. -...

We're staying at the same condo when we'll rebook his trip next year. The dive operation was done separately and in fact came highly recommended locally. If it hadn't been for the hurricane hitting the Maya Riviera, we would never have cancelled. We were all set to go. The transaction was done...

I decided to let them keep the depost. They were very nice however they did ask me to go elsewhere for certification. Now I ask the question, shall I go ahead and become certified here or just snorkel since my hubby has exercised induced asthma? We usually go together and he's my best buddie...

Good Morning Everyone, We had to cancel our trip in Nov. due to the hurricane. The hotel in Playa del Carmen's roof was blown off along with the rest of the terrible disaster. The dive shop I booked won't refund me the deposit - is that common? If it isn't, I'll dispute it. They said it...

A question: I'm at the part in the book re dive tables - of course I didn't understand a thing - went into the local dive shop yesterday for a brief lesson. How much of this in the actual written portion along with the other portion will these type of questions? I can barely read the tables...

For me the swim part is easy however the place I've being certified is w/o skorkel & fins which is no biggie. When my hubby was going t o scuba, he had a problem with swimming/floating - he ended up floating for 11 min. (my timing him). You can swim any stroke you desire but no stops whatsoever...

Your comments were most helpful & thank you.

I've been given the okay to dive.

A few questions: one - since many of us have hip replacements, is the hover position important when going for the final test? 2) I take prescription Motrin 800 mg - which makes me cough which I have syrup for - will this be a problem with the regulator? 3) Are most of the questions for...

Hi everyone, since I forgot my password, the forum wouldn't give me a hint nor could I figure out what it was. The last digit has been changed. it was scubabear2004.
