I'm considering the Reefmaster Pro set from absolutecamera.com link and was wondering if anyone had used them before and what they thought. The price is right ($348.88) so I'm really hoping to hear good things (but I want to hear bad things too). I checked resellerratings.com but couldn't find...

Well, my wife doesn't dive and is WAY too attached to our dog to leave him at home so she "runs the beach" when I dive. She sets up her lawn chair and plays fetch with the dog while I dive. We've found a dog friendly hotel or two and that really makes things easier for the weekend trips...

Barb, I am not a doctor but I am somewhat "blind". I have been considering Lasik and have spoken with a number of divers who have had the procedure done. They all highly recommend it. None of them have had any complications or problems diving because of the procedure. I have also heard...

That's what I thought but they waived the checkout thing after reviewing my log book. I guess I interperted that incorrectly to mean I was OK to dive the next morning. Didn't really matter, as it gave me a chance to have a nice breakfast with my wife. A few things I didn't add to my...

Well, I'm back from Sandals Montego Bay. I won't waste time here on my overall impressions of the resort (let's just say our second room was MUCH better then our first) but will give a quick rundown of the diving for those interested. We arrived on 7/4 and I ran down to the watersports desk...

I think your both right. Maybe I'll bring a small knife and a pair of scissors. I'll make sure to pack them both in my checked luggage. I know a pair of scissors saved the life of a catfish last week. On my night dive for my AOW, my instructor freed a catfish that was attached to a stringer...

Thanks for the replies, everyone. After careful consideration I've decided to purchase a BC and Reg before my trip. I was planning to buy equipment this year anyway, so why not before Jamaica. For those interested, I've chosen a ScubaPro Superhawk BC with a ScubaPro Mk20/G250 Reg. Now if...

I know this might sound like a stupid question but I'm traveling to Jamaica next month and I have to ask it. Has anyone had a bad experience trying to get a dive knife through customs? Different countries have different laws and I don't want to find myself in a Jamaican jail for trying to...

Corsair- You are 100% correct. You NEVER, NEVER, NEVER give your Air2 to your buddy. Why would you give your inflator to someone having an out of air emergency? PADI, and I believe all the others, teach you to give up your primary reg when in a shared air situation with an integrated...

I just did my first night dive this past Saturday. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was great! We planned a dive to 35 ft in Beaver Lake, AR. Dropping below the surface just as the sun set, we moved around slowly, looking at all the fish resting. It was really different. I really enjoyed...

Ok, I just finished my Advanced Scuba Diver certification dives and now it's time to look at getting my own equipment. I'm considering a couple of BC's (see the BC board if you're interested in my questions there) and a couple of regs. The two regs I'm considering are a new G250 and a...

I'm looking for a reliable and comfortable BC and am considering the Superhawk or the Knighthawk. I'd like a good rig, maybe one I could put doubles on. My LDS is a Scubapro dealer and that's all I've ever dived in (I'm pretty new at this, only 10 dives). I'm considering the Knighthawk but...

DiverDave, Thanks for your response. I'm really looking forward to some warm weather diving! I'd heard that all dives were guided at Sandals. It's good to know they have a good staff. I have heard you can go to 30m @ Sandals Montego Bay. I should have my Advanced Open Water completed...

Hi all, I just finished my certification and am booked for a week in Jamaica at Sandals/Montego Bay. I'm going for a wedding (not mine) so it's not specifically a dive vacation but I was wondering if anyone had been to Sandals/Montego Bay and could comment on the diving and/or dive staff...
