My husband, me, brother and sister-in-law want to see whale sharks (I know, I know) if possible and I read that Honduras is the best in the western hemisphere and most likely. I also read the season is not only spring but August and September. Any truth? Will we have any chance of seeing...

We just got back from Maui and dove twice with Ed Robinson - great crew and really great with beginnners. They split us in two groups and the more advanced divers went into a deeper area where the beginners went to easier areas. I talked to one of the beginners who said they felt very...

What is the vis? How are conditions for diving the Duane or Bibb? We are leaving cold Washington for a week of diving in Key Largo. Weather report says scattered thundershowers. Any info is helpful Thanks

Anyone been up to Hood Canal lately? Conditions? Last time we were at Octopus Hole, there were no octopus. Anyone been there lately? Sund Rock?

Pacific Adventures is a great outfit to dive with and there is Bandito out of Tacoma. I have done trips with both outfits a number of times and never had any bad experiences.

Thanks for all the advice. Looks like my 3mm will be sufficient. Now . . . Not trying to sound stupid - sea lice? Also, on the jelly fish - we have lion's manes but we are wearing so much gear that that the worse that happens you might get somehting across the face. We just use some aloe...

We are diving Key Largo from June 22 to June 27. What is the recommendation for wetsuits? My husband and I are drysuit divers from PNW and we have been known to dive in the snow and rain (with argon, of course!). I HATE being cold and get rather grumpy but have a 3mm full length and hood and...

Thanks for the great pictures - this is part of my husband's Christmas present so this will certainly charge him up!

Still trying to decide where to dive in June. Anyone know the conditions of the reef in Roatan? Where is the cruise ship docking? I was reading that is damaging the reef in that area and not to stay on that side of the island. I can't find the location of the dock on any maps. Any...

Anyone know the current condition of the Belize reef? We are hearing there has been a lot of damage due to hurricanes. Also, any recommendations on resorts or all-inclusive for diving and food? Looking for a June or July 08 trip

Is there any shore diving in upper keys? Looking at staying in Key Largo or Islamorada in June 2008.

Thanks to everyone for the info - it has been really helpful!

Sorry, but a wetsuit just won't cut it. Drysuit is the way to go in PNW. There is some great diving in Puget Sound (about 2hours depending who is diving), Hood Canal (2 1/2 hours). We dive year round in everything from warm to cold. Vancouver Island has some GREAT diving (Browning Wall Pass...

Still looking for dive info for the Keys. The liveaboard won't work. Any recommendations for good dive operators? Heard anything about Amy Slate's Resort in Key Largo? Where is the best place to base out in the Keys for a dive vacation (8 days or so)? Thanks for any help! I am working on...

Hood Canal - Pleasant Harbor has some great dives as long as they aren't running the subs from Bangor. Pulali Point (two sides), the Pinnacles are nice with little current, little traffic and lots to see especially the Pinnacles. There is also Sund Rock in the southern part of the canal where...

Just in - another person is interested - he is pretty new and only done 30 or so tropical. What are the diving conditions?

Hi- I am putting together a dive trip for my husband for Xmas along with my brother and a friend. Any recommendations for liveaboards or dive resorts or even dive operators would be greatly appreciated. We are all AOW with 175-300 dive range, love to do UW photos. Not interested in the...

Hi - this looks like a great source for info and ideas. I am trying to put together a trip for my husband for his Xmas present. My drysuit just came back with new seals so I should be back in the water soon! Looking to set up a trip for my husband's Xmas gift (and mine!) to Florida in June.
