I have been looking for a place to go that is upscale and that offers diving. We love to dive but not necessarily 3 times a day for 7 days. I wanted something that offered a little more (hiking, zip lining, etc. Nightlife not a concern). So after researching Caymans. Belize, Saba and Curacao I...

Anyone stayed there?

We are renting a condo very close to Vaca Cut. Anyone know of the closest ramp? We are closer to Key Colony Beach than to Marathon.

In two years my husband and I will celebrate 25 years of marriage. My plan is to surprise him with a trip. In order to do that I need to start saving now and also thinking about a destination. This is where I will need your help! Where shall I take him? Someplace tropical of course. I kind of...

Well, since my original post got no responses I thought I'd post again: We have been to the Keys several times. Mostly to fish and snorkel and mostly in the Islamorada/Key Largo area. This time we are staying just north of Marathon in a condo we rented once before. We are diving with Scuba...

We have been to the Keys several times. Mostly to fish and snorkel and mostly in the Islamorada/Key Largo area. This time we are staying just north of Marathon in a condo we rented once before. We are diving with Scuba Shack one day. The rest of the time we plan to fish, snorkel and do some...

I keep getting this notice that I haven't posted in several weeks....it's really more like 3 years! So here goes....My husband and I have been out of the world of diving for almost 3 years due to the tanking economy. We are getting ready for a trip to the Keys and want to dive while we are...

I am fairly new to diving having just logged #30. I have been using 16 lbs. from about dive #5 and on. This weekend I could not control my buoyancy. I ended up dropping 4 lbs. and I was fine. Why all of the sudden do I have to drop 4 lbs.?

Anybody dive West Palm today? How were the conditions. I am going tomorrow.

I recently purchased a SeaLife Mini. I have difficulty seeing the viewfinder both underwater and on land. At first I attributed it to the prescription mask I wear. I have trouble seeing the object I am trying to take a picture of. But once on land I notice that it is difficult to view it with my...

A few days ago I started a thread about a disappointing online buying experience. Using their sizing charts, an online shop I purchased a wetsuit from refused to pay shipping for a return or an exchange. I used their sizing charts when I placed the order so I was confident the wetsuit would fit...

I ordered a shorty from Divers Supply going by the size chart they had online. I fell exactly within the range on the size so I felt comfortable ordering it. It came today and is at least one size and possibly 2 sizes too big. When I called they said to repack it, send it and order another size...

My husband and I just finished our OW certification this past weekend. We also got nitrox certified and did 3 nitrox dives on Sunday. I have come a long way from difficulty with the mask removal skill to becoming comfortable diving with nitrox at 55'. Thanks to all for your advice and support...

Has anyone used them? What did you think? I have been looking at dive shops online today and spoke with a couple of them on the phone. These people were very nice and seemed to understand that I'm a little nervous since I am new to diving (completing my OW dives this weekend). They said I could...

We are traveling to Islamorada for a weekend in June to do our first dive after becoming certified. Since this will be our first "real dive" would it be best to go with a smaller operation that we can rely on for assistance if we need it? We booked originally with Keys Dives out of Bud and Marys...

Hello all. I am so glad I found this board. My family and I are in the process of getting certified in preparation for our summer vacation. We have chartered a catamaran in the BVI for a week and it includes diving. It just didn't make sense not to get certified. We have been to the BVI twice...

What are some of the better dive sites in the BVI for novice divers? We will have only 2 dives logged (going to the Keys for a day) after our OW cert before we arrive in the BVI. We are chartering a cat and diving is included. Our captain is an instructor so we will be diving with him.

I am about to do my second confined water class. I have to repeat my mask off for one minute skill because I was not able to do it in the first class. I have practiced but still cannot seem to accomplish this basic skill. I get water up my nose every time. Today I practiced two different times...
