Hi everyone, I am planning my first trip to Thailand and I am getting a little confused with the prime season for diving on the different coasts. I am planning to go in June - I've read that is the best time to be in the Gulf, like Koh Samui, is this true? Or how about Phi Phi islands...

I have two more years of pharmacy school from U.Michigan COP and planning to become a DM after graduation. Tell me more!

I'm also considering my next wetsuit to be one through a surfing company.

djminus1 - You are a genius and have excellent taste - I have the exact same suit and use it for tropical diving! :D I LOVE IT. The surfing wetsuits fit me a lot better. I workout quite a bit and have pretty wide shoulders, so I really like the sizing of the Quicksilver line where there are...

They're called "semi-dry" because it has rubber seals similar to a dry suit but still made of neoprene. What gets somebody cold in regular wetsuits is when cold water circulates into the suit and displaces the water warmed by the body. The semi-dry prevents this by either keeping the water...

Girlfriend and I will be there March 24 - April 2. Staying at Hotel Cozumel and diving with Dive with Martin. Have a great time!

What kind of layover time needs to be allowed between arrival in Cancun and departure to Cozumel? Do you go through customs in Cancun and then check-in again for the departure flight to Coz?

Maracaibo Chunca-Kab Punta Sur Devils Throat Barracuda San Juan That's generally the list that I'm seeing dive ops distinguish as advanced sites. Can someone describe these sites to me and what makes them so unique? Can only AOW+ divers check these sites out? :1poke:

No need for the coin toss. I think your post just solidified my decision. We'll be there last week of March to early April. If anyone is going to be there around that time, let's have a drink! Jeff

...which is what we two do at home. Our possibility with going with the AI option will still include occasionally going into town for dinner. But with how much and often we eat here, the AI option (plus still looking around town and picking up some groceries) may be the way we go.

So flying from Seattle to Cozumel, I was quoted the following: hotel, flight, transportation to and from airport, and taxes: $984 (~$1000): not all-inclusive $1212: all inclusive. That's a $228 difference for 7 days per person, or roughly $32 a day. In this scenario, do you think I...

what a fantastic picture!!!!

On the same note with AA - my girlfriend and I were already in Miami when we got the call from Blackbeard that they were cancelling last week's trip too (Sept 11-17). AA quickly recheduled our flight a week early to avoid the hurricane. Note: Sorry for all the blackbeard-ers that got...

Nope, I have no idea which boat I'll be on. But looking at the trajectory of Ivan now, it may just miss the Bahamas?? I emailed Blackbeard and they said that no ships were damaged and that we'll be good to go. Diveshops have told divers to trust Blackbeard and I think I'm just going to do...

Yup, my girlfriend and I are going on the same trip. Are you worried about cancellations from Blackbeard? Or any sort of precautions or heads up before heading to Miami?

Hi Norma, I'm planning a trip to PV soon and would love to see the photos of your daughter and the manta! Thanks, Tina bluewave1275@yahoo.com

Anything you may have thought of, please do share, as I may be going the very beginning of September!

Much needed advice: I'm hoping to take a dive trip with my girlfriend and I've heard great things about Blackbeard cruises. Question though: I could I ever plan anything during hurricane season?! For those who have had experience with Blackbeard, are there any sort of compensations if...

I'm looking through diveinn.com and after researching on various regulators, I'm set on either Apex ATX200 or TX50 and TX40 for the octopus. However, I'm a little confused with some fundamentals, as this is my first purchase for regulators. The packages that you can find on the website...
