Considering a trip to Cozumel this May. Will be our first. We are both AOW, Nitrox certified. Not the biggest fans of drift diving but considering giving this a try anyway, particularly since it may end up being the most reasonably priced option. Trying to decide between staying at a dive resort...

My FIL and I are looking to do a 5-7 day dive trip this March or April. We are both AOW, EAN certified. I have about 100 dives logged, almost all of them in south Florida, split between shore and boat diving. He has extensively more dive experience with lot of dive travel (Galapagos, Exumas...

I just went to renew my membership and noted that it does not include dive accident insurance, only medical transport coverage, unless you purchase additional DAN Dive accident insurance coverage. Is that a change or did I just not pay close enough attention previously when renewing? I could...

Can someone share a video or photo tutorial of methods to secure SMB/reels, flashlights, etc to a BP/W or BCD setup in a way that doesnt leave them all hanging? I can only fit so much in my one pocket but I find that if I am carrying the dive flag, and my camera, the lines tend to get tangled...

I dont know if this is the proper subforum but here's the story. Was doing a dive last week with an experienced dive buddy. Surface chop was a bit rough. The boat did not use a tag line for divers waiting their turn in the water. My buddy and I both ascended and I proceeded to board the boat...

Trying to put together a dive trip with a family member visiting. What are some of your favorite nontechnical boat dive spots in SE Florida ? Both of us are AOW, EAN certified.

Anyone know a dive boat making a trip next week to Tenneco Towers ?

I've been using a jacket style BCD I bought second hand 10 years ago and am ready to upgrade. While this has served me well, I find the style a bit constrictive and wanted to try out a BCD. I do mostly local shore dives in south Florida, occasional boat dives and very little travel diving - and...

What options are there for wide angle lens, aside from the backscatter lenses, to use with a TG6 and PT059 housing?

Looking to get away for a few days and having never been to the USVI, am thinking of going there. I am the diver, my SO is not. This would not be a diving vacation but rather a vacation with a dive or two hopefully squeezed in. What are the topside activiites like at St. Croix? Not interested in...

Anyone intentionally do it? I figure if there are shark dives, why aren't there any guided alligator dives? I'm sure there are some clear, diveable waters inhabited by alligators.

(Please move if this is the incorrect forum). I'd like to get input from others as to when it is appropriate to take a Rescue Diver course (PADI or equivelant). Should one have a certain amount or variety of dives? Certain amount of diving? Etc Etc. What should one look for in an instructor or...

There are times I may want to go diving after going somewhere, without driving home to get my gear (i.e. after work). Is it safe to leave an aluminum tank in a hot car for hours at time? For example sunny 90 degree weather.

Picked up a TG-6 and housing not to long ago as an entry into underwater photography and video. Havent had a chance to use it yet but I understand that for shallow water, high visibilty macro shooting, the native flash is good enough for starters. Is that correct? If want to expand my options...

I am looking to get my first underwater camera. I have plenty of topside photography experience but, aside from a GoPro knockoff I returned after one dive, no underwater photography experience. I have an opportunity to buy an unused Olympus TG-6 for about half the market price but am trying to...

I will be in the market soon for a new regulator set. Most of my gear was purchased second hand when I got certified some years back and it has served me well. I will either pass it on to my family member when he gets certified this year or purchase a new set for him and keep this one. Either...

ISO recommendations for a new dive computer to replace my legacy computer. I want a wrist mounted, two button computer capable of wireless connecting to my computer or phone app. I'd like to stay under $500 (if I can get it for closer to the $300, even better). What are my options ? What do you...

HELP. I am supposed to be diving with EAN tomorrow and cannot get into the setting menu on my computer! It is an old Genesis Resource Pro with Nitrox <some models apparently were Air only>. Pressing the button for 2 seconds while on the surface menu is supposed to bring me into the Settings...

I recently moved to Broward county and am looking for dive clubs, as well as recommendations for local dive operators and shops. I have about 50 dives logged and its been over a year so want to get my gear serviced and wet! I have previously dived out of Key Largo but am looking for some local...

I'll be going to a Honolulu for a conference in January with my nondiving wife and baby. I gather from reading here that Oahu is not the better of the islands for diving but I doubt we'll have a chance to visit other islands. I'd still like to get in at least one or two dive trips (more is...
