    Question Hawaii Trip with Diving Included

    Is it safe to read from your post that you’re traveling solo and won’t have a dive buddy? Hawaii dive ops generally seem to fall in the middle of the the dive op services, between the Florida / North Carolina boats that haul you to the dive site and then tell you the pool is open and they’ll see...

    Question Hawaii Trip with Diving Included

    Congratulations - you’re off to a good start and you’ll do fine. I used to dm on Maui. Molokini is great and you’ll enjoy both the back and crater - keep an eye on your depth on the back. Though inside is great too, with the shark cave at a depth of 140. The “turtle / shark” shore dive may be...

    Why do divers wear bathing suits under wetsuit?

    I guess we should all just hang out on the boat nakey

    Unknown Father dies during diving tour with 14-year-old son off Juno Beach FL

    As the dad of a current 14 year old I dive with, this hits home. Truly tragic. Sending love to that young boy…

    DOWN CURRENTS -Any with true real-life experience?

    Sure. Do Santa Rosa on any given day. And hope that’s not the day it decides to Uber turbulent. Or do a Villa blanco and just get used to a ride while not over a wall

    Action quest, Sail Caribbean, or Broadreach

    Bumping this old thread for more recent reviews. I was specifically looking at sending my son on an Action quest voyage, possible this summer, but more than likely summer 2025 (he’ll be then). Love the idea of him learning sailing in addition to building on his scuba (he’s currently sdi jr...

    How Many Dives in a year will make you happy?

    I got in 55 last year, which I’m happy with. Unfortunately they all mostly fell over two or three trips, so apart from those few weeks, it was long surface intervals. Still, I’d be satisfied with that annually given I live in a land locked state where any dive is a flight.

    Looking for Recommendations for Ambergris Caye Diving!

    Being that no one else has chimed in, I’ll give you my outdated opinion. I went in 2004 and dove the blue hole, which to me was an incredible dive - you dropped down to a shallow sandy flat at 40ft to wait for the group, then Superman’d off a ledge free falling to 140ft, then cut back in and...

    How is diving in Ixtapa/Zihua?

    I dove off of zihuat once back around 2000, just because I happened to be there and wanted to dive. I remember being unimpressed with green / poor vis water. That’s not much help lol

    Unknown Cozumel: Horrible dive accident...

    Seems very odd they’ve been able to identify her name, age, and hotel, but not who she was diving with. You would think it’s a rental tank with a marking of a dive shop. And the idea of it being physically possible for a 77 year old lady to haul a tank and gear to do a shore dive by themselves...

    Thoughts on Coco View Resort, Roatan

    ^^^ So you’re basing it off your 2013 trip to AKR? You haven’t been since they opened their new restaurant? I was there this year and the food was fantastic… and more than plenty of it. I was there in May for 8 nights and ate twenty something meals in the restaurant, and would dare to say that...

    Thoughts on Coco View Resort, Roatan

    So much talk of fried bad food at Coco View and so little talk of Anthony’s Key. Why did you limit your inquiry to Coco? Anthony’s Key has excellent food for every meal.

    Profiling of Divers at Los Cabos Airport

    It sounds like it's time to draw some attention to this matter. I highly doubt Nautilus or anyone with a business interest there in Cabo is going to want to put themselves or their business in jeopardy with the government, but the international tourists themselves certainly can - and at the...

    Tiger Beach Dive Operators

    Would you mind putting any day trip outfitters that you know of in here for posterity? That probably opens an opportunity for many that can’t do a week long dedicated trip.
