Taking my 18 yo son down to Key Largo for some deep tech learning stuff for 4 days this month. We end the tech stuff on a Saturday, and will be able to dive on Sunday before our return flight (Tuesday am). The son really wants to squeeze in a day of low stress "normal" diving. Unfortunately...

Hi all, Looking for recommendations on a Tortola trip. There are some helpful threads on Tortola generally that I've read, but not much about Guana Island/Guana Island Resort specifically. Has anyone been, and how does the resort rate compared to other Tortola options? This is for a trip that...

I am booking my annual dive trip to Belize, and rather than go to Turneffe Island Resort as we normally would my family is considering The Phoenix in Ambergris Caye. I have read many amazing reviews of that resort so it sounds very nice, but we have two non-divers so beach/non-dive becomes...

My son needs to add a redundant air source for his first deep ocean dive next weekend. I have used for many years an aluminum 40 for that purpose, carried as a sidemount. My son still dives traditional with a backmount tank but will sidemount his redundant setup. This will be nitrox...

I am wondering how much oxygen people are carrying for first aid purposes on their boats? I hadn't given it much thought since our dives these days are recreational and at most are within an hour of land (and minutes by chopper), and I'm carrying a D size tank which is 406 liters. But in the...

Can anyone based on recent experience recommend a hotel in Bonaire - my son and I are not choosy, but my wife (who is a former divemaster) is now at a point where she likes luxury and sitting on the beach. So I need a hotel that's posh and where a whole day can be spent without feeling like...
