    Scuba in Belize

    Thanks for ALL the advice. VERY helpful & gives me some direction to start with. I was initially thinking of going a-la-cart; buy airfare, rent a car & rent a place via VRBO/AirBNB inland. Then find a dive shop in the area. However, between here and seeing stuff online, I'm wondering if some...

    Kraken Springs outside ATL

    yea, those were the good old days & great times (except that SINGLE disastrous playoff run).

Oh well As far...

    Any good dive charter companies at Mexico Beach, FL

    Ok, I see a charter company out of Mexico beach that says diving. However, I need to rent ALL my equipment and buddy up with someone (since i am solo) so thinking it might be easier to go with these others. I have used some of those in PC so will probably go that route if needed outside port st...

    Possible n. Fl sprigs diving trip in the future

    Cool. Yea, Ginnie was one I came across and high on my list as well. Seems like everyone agrees that its probably the one to go to. I just wanted to see if there were some other possibilities. I would need to rent all my equipment and assume they can accommodate this as well.

    looking for Destin area diving

    I wound up going out with Emerald Coast diving. Trip was great and I was able to buddy up easily with another single diver. Did a reef (83ft) and a wreck (64fy) and the visibility was pretty good the day we went. We only had about 8 divers on the boat so it wasn't too crowded. I didn't realize...

    Gulf Shores for Beginners

    I was in the Gulf Shores area about 2 weeks ago and used Down Under Dive shop. All went well and they actually meet and leave out of an Orange Beach based marina.
