Hi all, I'm just beginning to investigate getting my 15yo son OW certified. In the ~20 years since I did mine, I still feel like the local pool work + tropical checkout dives is the way to go. While I enjoy diving our local quarry, if I had done my checkout there (40 degrees + 20' viz) , I...

Hey everyone! My name is Anna and I got certified last October with my fiancé Michael! We got certified partly on a charter boat at a wreck off the coast called The Sherman and partly at a rock quarry in Raleigh NC called Mystery Lake. The quarry was awesome! We can’t wait to go back. We took...

Greetings everyone, Usually I check a bag and get all my scuba gear inside... but be that as it may I am taking a short trip and need to pack light and move fast. Long story short... has anyone bungee their fins to their backpack or carry-on and got onboard the flight without checking a bag...

Hi everyone! Last month we posted a series of cover shot options for our Grand Cayman dive guidebook and asked you to vote for the one you felt best captured the island’s underwater experience. We received an incredible response through social media and here on ScubaBoard.com. We’re excited to...

I’m thinking of selling my Pathfinder with Tetradon wing, top-of-shoulder counterlungs, primary controller, and the ISS bailout valve (which is the guts of the APEKS regulator). Unit is in excellent condition. I’ve done about 60 dives on it and always meticulously cared for it. It’s quite a...

Hey Guys! my name is Nik and I am currently writing my master thesis in „Sustainable Tourism Management“. In the course of my thesis I am investigating whether the decline of coral reefs has an impact on the travel behaviour of diving tourists. I am in desparte need for more Divers worldwide and...

Hey, I travel to dive, and I'm considering investing in some gear (ScubaPro Jet fins, a generic backplate-harness combo, and a Halcyon Eclipse wing - I noticed that BPWs give me much better trim than jackets), as well as a bag to transport it in. I was eyeing the Cressi Gorilla Pro, but...

I am selling my Jetsam Baby Booster (mini Haskel type O2 pump). I purchased this new several years ago for several remote, multi-day rebreather expeditions. This has seen very low (less than 10 hours) use for 02 bottle fills. This Baby Booster is self contained in a small Pelican case and is...

I have recently bought carbon float arms for my underwater camera rig for better Buoyancy of video lights. I am wondering if i can travel with them and take it on flight. Concern is their hollow cylider shape as airline or security may consider them harmful. Please suggest should i put in my...

Hi. I've been a divemaster since 2003. TOok a break a few years ago because of bad knees but now that I have new ones I'm back at it. Years ago when ProDive was still in business someone there said he thought I'd be really good running dive trips and travel. At the time I was working so had...

When it comes to flying and international travel, I really have no experience. As a college student looking to book a scuba trip with some of my friends, I need all the help I can get. I currently live in Upstate South Carolina and have easy access to ATL. I was wondering what days of the week...

Hi there! This is my first post on here so bare with me... I have been an avid world travel & scuba diver for the past 9 years. My next adventure/aspiration is to teach scuba somewhere tropical for a few years. I started off PADI (Ow, AD, Rescue, EANx), but I now work and train at a NAUI...

Up for sale is my size Large "Like New" Scubapro GO BCD with Air2 (5th Generation) AND a Scubapro Balanced Power Inflator. I had 11 fresh water dives on this awesome travel worthy BCD before purchasing my Hollis/Helium-Dive BP/W setup. It was thoroughly washed and rinsed with bcd cleaner each...

I will be travelling with my JJ for the first time soon. As this is my first time and I am still relatively new to rebreather diving, I am not sure what spares and bits to carry. Does anyone have a list of spares that they usually carry? Also any particular things which you have found useful...

I have had this issue a number of times going to the south pacific, but each airline is different. I have to fly SriLankan Airlines and they have a limit on cabin baggage. One piece and a backpack is not considered a personal item. I usually carry my camera equipment in a backpack i can fit...

I am booking my first full boat charter and am wondering if anyone has some info or a sample of a contract they've used with the individual divers? Being that I am working with the boat I have all the liability so I need something for the other divers to cover myself. I'm also unsure of what a...

Is there an alternative to neoprene booties for warm water diving with open heel fins, that can also be used as regular street shoes? I'm building a light-weight ultra-minimalist gear set for travel, and if I can wear them on my feet that's one less thing in my carry-on. Maybe Chucks? Has...

Hi, My name is Zalán, a recently-certified NAUI Master diver. I'm conducting some market research in order to gauge the viability of a potential idea I have. In a nutshell, the idea is to have a crowdsourced dive site directory, with weather/current reports pulled from institutions and...
