Over the last year I have went on dive trips that involve diving with others instead of just with people that I share common background and training. I have noticed that there seem to be a lot of Moderately experienced divers that are underwieghted and have a very difficult time doing a...

If they made Wings/BCD Lift capacity like they do weights (Ie Pound increments). How would how would you determine what lift capacity you would buy? Ok one step further Money is no object so you can have a few for different conditions or situations that you might want to dive in. Money is no...

I recently returned from St. Maarten. I ran into some Issues that I had not experienced before. In all of the courses/classes that I have taken up to now. I have had to be responsible for my own gear even in OW my instructor taught us that we are responsible for our own gear. We learned...

We just returned from St. Maarten. Over all I give the St. Maarten part of the trip a decent review. I would say go there once to see if it's your thing. I however probably will only go back as a stop on the way to Saba. We checked into the Pelican Resort (a friend of mine has a time share...

I just got a Sea life SL960D strobe for my cannon G11 (OEM housing). Ok totally new to strobes. This thing washes out everything when I take a pic in the living room with it. I am assuming this is normal? 2 weeks until St. Maarten and I can get it under water.

I know this subject has been disscussed a few times on Scubaboard. But, I thought it was worth bringing up again in the "Basic Scuba" forum. I take a Safety Sausage on every boat dive with me. After 4+ years and 250+ dives I finally had to use it to get the boats attention. There were 3...

Has anyone ever stayed at the Scuba Lodge in Curacao? We are looking for a smaller with a more personal touch. I would like to be close to the water with a nice house reef. Unlimited shore diving with a few boat dives would be our plan. The website says there are a lot of resteruants and...

Greetings all. I just found out that I am spending a week in Calamba and Manila in January. I don't know how much free time I am going to have but, I was wondering about diving in the local areas? Or somewhere not too far away. I might get a Saturday or Sunday off but that will be all of...

When we were leaving Roatan 2 weeks ago they weighed my wife and my luggage the first bag was 54 lbs we gave the oh man we got to move stuff around. When we opened the bag the Continental counter guy said oh it's Scuba gear you are ok no extra charge! Amazing!! Has this happened to anyone...
