Hi All... A bunch of us are looking to do a "clean up" dive somewhere nearby as part of the dive against debris effort... But we're coming up a bit short on places that are not too distant from DC that have shore-entry. Turning to the chespeake bay experts and others on the board here for...

Hmm... interesting... so where can you fly quickly enough from BKK to be able to dive for the day and actually make the boats? thanks!

Okay, so I'm taking a very last minute trip that will include all of one free day (could include over night) in Bangkok and I'm trying to decide whether to try to dive... I could head out Sunday morning very early but need to be back in BKK by mid-day Monday. Suggestions? Ideas? If I go I'd...

Thanks guys... Yes, looking for ideas that are a little more on the upscale side of things, but without being crazy expensive. Priorities: -Small-ish, eco-friendly hotel with lots of attention to customer service -Good dive op with valet service standards and staff that are very knowledgable...

suggestions for smaller boutique eco-friendly hotels definitely appreciated... thoughts?

Hey Folks... Heading with a group to Belize in August.... and had just sent an email to Eco Logic. Suggestions for alternatives? Don't really want to bring a group of folks to a shop in upheaval...

Hey SB Oracles... I'm not super familiar with FL diving outside of the Keys and here's what I'm wondering: Where's the best spot(s) to bring a group that: -Is good for OW cert "check out" dives (current, depth, etc. work for skills) -Also offers something to the more experienced in the group...

Hey Folks... This is a really helpful thread... I'm thinking of taking a group to the region in February for a very short 4-day trip. Cozumel is our stand by option and we love it, but are considering doing something a little different... Advice? Looking for someplace with good diving that...

Thanks folks... certainly eager to hear what everyone has to say... We're new, we're hoping to be a bit different, and hoping we can serve a least a good chunk of the community. Feel free to PM me if you have other thoughts... Realize we'll never make everybody happy, but we are certainly eager...

Hey Scubaboard-ers, This is a quick note to get your thoughts and invite you all... Several of us are opening a new scuba operation in Washington, DC... we're going to have a big focus on conservation and the environment--small personalized classes--and have the goal of bringing a lot of new...

if you didn't find anything, let me know... I have basic ASL--enough to certainly do pool work if you don't mind some finger spelling here or there... and these days with the online course, it's really possible to skip most of the in-classroom-sessions and still get a good scuba education...

I switched to the Atomic splitfins and I'm kindof in love with them. :-) You can also check out our new shop in DC at 18th & S Streets, Blue Planet Scuba... Blue Planet: Scuba Diving Classes in Washington, DC - Home

Okay, so I've never been diving in Puerto Rico but am looking at planning a trip in February for a group... Here's what I'm hoping I can find: a) Affordable, ideally eco-friendly operator! b) Within easy reach of San Juan airport (know it'll be a bit of a drive but we're going to only do a 4...

Thanks everyone... I'd LOVE to come at another time, but the deal is: Washington, DC shuts down in August so it's the right time for a longer trip. So I'm somewhat stuck with the timing... From what I've read, it seems like the west coast is more our speed, but maybe not a good deal for the time?

Dear All... Looking at an August 2011 group trip to Thailand... very early in the process so don't know much about the diving (though reading here has been very helpful)... Advice: Given that it's August, what's our best bet for the best diving? -Ideally relatively accessible since...

Hey Folks... Quick question... any experience with scubamax regulators? How do they hold up to student use? Anybody had any problems? Considering purchasing and need to find some folks who actually dive them... Thanks!

Considering taking a group of 10-15 to Roatan in August... Looking for good accommodations: -Not looking for all-inclusive, so looking for someplace where dive shop would pick us up and walking distance to restaurants, without being noisy... Was looking at Cocolobo and Seagrape... would...

Hey Folks... heading to Nassau in a few days (Dec 26-Jan 1)... looking for advice: -Is there anyplace to shore dive that's worth it? -Dive ops? Seems like only two options, which caters more to very experience divers? -Fav places?? Thanks!

Thanks guys, that's helpful... know any of these ops well? Basically I'm looking for the best diving (southwest is best?) and if at all possible the opportunity to avoid the cattle boats... That said, I don't have $900 to charter a boat so that's less likely though definitely appreciate the...

I'm going to be staying in Nassau in December on a family trip and had been excited since I've never dove the Bahamas but now seems like the Nassau options are really limited... SO here's my questions: 1) Are there really only 2 ops? There's no small ops out there that cater to more advanced...
