Hi, I am new here. First a little background on my dive experience, then what I am trying to accomplish. I did OW in college in 1989(PADI). This is the only class I got an A in in my first two years :) I had one year to do the OW dives but never did. Money is tight for a college student...

Hi all, I currently own an Aqualung LX Supreme regulator set and Atomic Aquatics T3 regulator set for my single tank diving. I have just started sidemount diving and used Apeks XTX50 during my training. I liked them but not a fan of the small purge button. I have a XDeep stealth 2.0 Rec BC and...

I've just upgraded my gopro hero 4 black to the gopro hero 6 black. Has anyone any tips or recommendations on the settings I should use for diving? I used 1080p with 60 or 30 fps depending on light with my hero 4. Is it worth upping my resolution with the hero 6 and changing frame rates? The...

I've just finished the semi-annual update of my Cozumel restaurant recommendation and review pages, to the extent that they're ever really finished. This list is not intended to include all, or even most, possibilities. Each listing is a place I can recommend from personal experience, so...

Hi All, We'll be heading to the Galapagos from the 25th of March to the 2nd of April, and would like to do some diving there. Liveaboards don't seem to work, since there is none that leave on doable dates, so we're looking at land-based. Any recommendations on what island we should focus on...

I lousy my dc1400 on my last trip. Frankly I have had it for several years and was thinking of replacing it. I was never happy with the auto focus on it, so almost always shot in macro... Yuck I know. I am considering the dc2000. However, I am worried that going with another compact is going to...

I'm more of a lurker than contributor here but the information is great. I'm going to Grand Cayman and staying on Seven Mile Beach for a week at the Comfort Suites. I'm considering the Cayman Turtle Divers since they are close to the hotel. Wife is a non-diver so if anybody is there, I'm open...

Hello everyone, Me and my husband are going for a short holiday to Greece (Santorini and Athens) and Israel (Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Eilat) on the 1st of June this year. We have added Eilat only because it seems to be the best spot to dive in Israel. Any suggestions on which dive spot and...

Hello all! I'm an experienced diver who is just joining the Scubaboard. I'm heading to Hawaii next week and wondering what dive shops are currently recommended on Maui and Hawaii. In the past I've gone diving with Ed Robinsons on Maui, and Jacks Diving Locker on the Big Island. I'm diving...
