Awesome, thanks a bunch everyone!

Hi Guys, I'm heading to Bonaire for the first time next week and am wondering if the boots I just picked up at the dive shop will do the trick (in regards to saving my feet from the reef!): Scubapro Delta Boot 5mm, Short, Black Thanks! -Alex

I'm using them with a drysuit. I find them tough to get on, but that is because the seal is so good! Totally worth the effort...

Hey Guys, I'm making a large Powerpoint on Coral Bleaching. I need some great shots of thriving coral as well as a few of bleached coral. Also, a few of your best shots of underwater life would be fantastic! Thanks in advance! Alex

As a PADI OWSI and a frequent diver in the 100-130 foot range with no techincal experience, I think this course is a fantastic idea. As an experienced diver (500-600 OW pleasure dives) I'm beginning to get into the technical side of things and an intro course seems like a good idea. A...

Is the course going to have materials (i.e. books, etc)?

Thanks for the advice! Turns out we're bringing a 4th guy (looks like the 2 non-divers will be going to Cancun, playing tennis, playing golf, ATVing - whatever non-divers do!). With that said, of the hotels on the island, which would you recommend for activities on land (tennis?). Budget...

What time do the morning 2 tank boats come back? Maybe he can just play tennis/golf while we dive the morning?

Hey Guys, I'm thinking of going to Cozumel over spring break with 2 of my buddies. I'm an OWSI and one of my other friends is a good diver (we dive cold water, so he can handle nearly anything in Cozumel). The third one of us, however, will not dive - no matter what (weak swimmer, I think...

How is Cozumel doing after the hurricane? I'm thinking of planning a trip for this March...

Having just done the IDC/IE I would recommend either taking a break in between or just waiting until you have 25 certs to do the specialties... I found it to be a tiring course, at the end of which I felt like I needed a rest. I had an absolutely fantastic CD - Jean-Michelle at Scuba Fun in St...

empiredivers.com - my LDS :)

Apeks XTX50 is about $550 - comes with a free Octo...

I love mine! Can't say a negative word about it... Wish it had Turbosoles, but that isn't Whites' fault! Damn Turtles....

Dove a pair of these two weeks ago - absolutely fantastic!

Thanks Tobin! Thanks exactly what I was wondering! I guess the confusion was whether to calculate the buoyancy of the tank empty or full - and after reading your post, I realized that in most emergencies, I'm going to be closer to empty than full... I also forgot about dumpable weight when...

After looking at my own post, I realize I'm being an idiot. Picking up the 35 later today - please chip in quick if that seems stupid to you...

Hey guys, Just making the switch to a BP/W - I'm diving a Seaquest Balance at the moment - on my last dive I used 22lbs and that felt good with an LP77 (8lbs negative full, 2lb negative empty) - factor in whatever other gear I'm carrying (figure reel, regs, etc another -2) - Should I be diving...

I think you all have me confused on how you're doing it... Are you using the double ender for anything except clipping off when not in use? Also, as opposed to tying a half hitch, why not just put the double ender (which is attached to the line) through the loop on the SMB and then clip it...

Golf Ball recovery? Give me a break...
