We stayed at Cayman Brac Beach resort March 16-23 – very fun trip. This was as part of a group trip with our greater Boston LDS. Our family group was my wife (non-diver) and our 2 kids ages 24, 22. The Trip: We flew JetBlue direct from Boston to Grand Cayman and the made the Cayman Airways hop...

Going in a couple of weeks - staying at CBBR, so all meals included, but always nice to break out of a resort while on vacation. We are renting a car since wife is non-diver and planning to rock climb most of the week. Not looking for romance, since our 2 early 20s kids will be with us as well...

Thanks again to this forum for recommending a good shop for my son's OW cert course back in 2017. He had a good experience taking his course at Air Down There in St. Paul and then did his check out dives down in Belize last Jan. We are getting ready to go on a trip in March (Cayman Brac). I...

Planning a family trip there in March (CBBR - our local dive shop is running a trip). Our 2 kids (20s) and I are divers; wife has tried it, but it's not really her thing. As something to do for at least part of our time there - she's a rock climber and has been trying to get in touch with Rock...

I see plenty of discussion of water temps and we are hopefully well prepared for that More curious about "typical" air temps in the first half of June.....? Most web-sites and liveaboard pre-info say something like this = "the cooler months are June through November, when the air temperatures...

Looking for recommendations for an OW cert. course in Minneapolis/St. Paul area = this is for my son (23). He lives near UM (Prospect Park area) but works off of 495 near Plymouth. This would be for an OW course...he would complete his check-out dives in Belize in January. In a perfect world...

Just saw a Facebook post that Mitch and Deb are leaving CCV....sad to hear that news. Any background on who's taking over? Not sure if they were the owners of CCV, just the mgrs or both...and what other changes this might bring.

Quick question about flying to LC - I think the procedure is that you have to claim luggage/clear customs in GC and then re-check with Cayman Airways for the Twin Otter flight to LC - correct? Thanks

Question for folks out there who are using SRP trays along with a dual light set-up. Are you using a tripod...and if so which one? Curious, since the SRP tray is relatively heavy. This is my set-up. Thanks. Chris

Recently on the GoPro Underwater Facebook group someone started a thread asking for examples of decent quality still photos extracted from GoPro underwater footage. I had only done this once before, but decided to do more of this to see what the results look like. All of these are extracted...

Having just upgraded to a 2 light set-up, I found this article on Backscatter.com really helpful. Underwater Camera Articles:

Was out diving with Cape Ann Divers on Sunday morning - Legendowski and Halfway Rock. At Legendowski, there were tons of small, segmented creatures in the water near the surface. You can see them starting at 3:06 in the video below. Does anyone know what these are...

I've been to CCV 3x = all in March. My daughter and I have been diving our 5mm full suits in March since we typically get in 5 dives/day.....never feel too hot in the water and often have boat-mates wearing 3mm suits complaining about getting chilled on dives 4-5. Water temps on past trips have...
