Hello Scubaboard! I've been lurking here for a while and appreciate everything I've learned just from reading the forums from the sidelines. My girlfriend and I are new divers (OW, Nitrox) with 23 dives logged. We live on the east coast of the US, and so far we have only dove the Caribbean. We...

I am a senior high school engineering development and design student, I am in the process of trying to develop a new sustainable artificial reef design, specifically one for the Texas coastlines. This is just a quick survey with a few questions about marketing and development of artificial...

Hello, I am based out of the US and would like to stay within an 8 hour flight out of Miami. I have my rescue cert, nitrox and cavern. I'm down for wrecks, reefs and caverns. I don't want to go on a live aboard. I'd like to stay in a hotel near a dive shop or preferably one with a dive...

Wife and I dove Bari Reef one night during our August 18-28th trip. As soon as we hit the water a single large tarpon arrived and by the end of the dive there were three. A little unnerving at first, then entertaining and then annoying. They were using our lights to hunt. Focusing on...

Hi, Sure this has been asked earlier, but looking for newer datapoints. I am planning to get open water certified when I visit (Nov if that matters). This would be my first diving ever. There are tons of scuba schools in that area. I researched some and the price is all over the board varying...

This "Glowing Challenge" may be of interest to some UW photographers / biologists / "coral reef system likers"...: Glowing Glowing Gone Disclaimer: No affiliation and no full understanding of what they are up to exactly either... but it "sounds non-harmful", but I do not know that either...

So this was about a month ago...took a while to find time to sit down and write this report. The wife and I completed our OW cert a month prior to our trip and were excited to go on our first holiday that included diving (as well as first holiday just the two of us in over 2 years). This was our...

Caribbean Reef Squid on a night dive in Roatan, Honduras

This octopus couldn't stop dancing for the camera!

Straight from the “Duh-Files”: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-45620299 I am pretty sure that in the 80s it was quite known that tires are not totally inert... “Entirely inert” seems a much abused term. Even if you cannot smell it it often isn’t really inert and if you can smell it, like...
