My husband and a friend were on the boat on Nov. 14. Seas were 2-4 feet, with a pretty decent current. They said vis was around 50 feet. It is very sad that Nick lost his life, and since I wasn't there, I will only relay the part I can confirm. From the view point of the two divers I know...

Thanks to all. I've got my gear in for annual "physical" and am hoping to be in the water in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea over Memorial Weekend. I've been nursing an injured knee since January and desperately need some bottom time :)

I am looking into new reg and thought to also check here, but I can't seem to find any postings for any Aqua Lung regs.

We've done most of our homework and several trips and have decided our next new home will will be in Florida in the areas of either Vero Beach up north to Melbourne. We're making our next trip the end of this month (Aug. 27-31) and will be seeking a realtor and banker and ... plan to relocate by...

The following is from another board I read and I thought it would be appropriate to post here. I have several of his books ... Margaret ---- It is with extreme sadness that we must report the passing of legendary UW Instructor, Author and Photographer, Jim Church. Jim passed away earlier...

We were there in 1998, like you newly certified and it was our first warm-water diving. We went out on the morning dive every day and loved it. The dive op was nice (wonder if St. Rose is still there? If so, he's friendly and a good DM) and the tropical fish so much different than what we'd seen...

I got him the MPK-P9 for $165.60 plus tax (no shipping) from www.computersallservices.com. They provided excellent service! You may want to check out www.pricescan.com for competitive prices and reviews of the selling companies. I got my husband the new P9 for only $30 more than you're...

Just packed it in my check in bag, wrapped around with clothes, stuffed socks around the HID light so that nothing could move or would get crushed, made sure the battery wasn't connected, and put the instruction manual right on top -- highlighted the instructions where it said the light could...

I was like the beacon on the night dive. Everyone could tell where I was because that thing is BRIGHT! I attracted a lot of little fish, some nibbling on my fingers. I was a little concerned that a larger fish might swoop in and go for the little ones, but no problems. The shark appeared out of...

We also used a timeshare at Pelican Marina (Flamingo). There's a dive op right there at the marina called Aquamania. Vinny is the one to see ... although the diving doesn't even begin to compare to a bad day's diving on Saba. I don't have the contact info with me, but if you're interested...

We did the Sandals Halcyon (there are two on St. Lucia, the Halcyon is the smaller resort) in 1998. There are only around 120 rooms on the property, so it is small and quite private. The beach isn't much, but the two pools are plenty for soaking up sun. One is a the "quiet" pool to float, swim...

The pictures were excellent! We were down 120+ feet and the shots were clear and incredible. I don't think you need to consider a separate strobe unless you use it for night dives. The divers who had it were from Holland, and they just put it in the BC pocket, took it out, snapped away, and...

Just tried out my new Oceanic Caribe fins today in the pool at my health club. We're off to Saba in a few days, and I wanted to see about some full foot fins since all dives are boat dives. The Caribe got good reviews, so I took the plunge (literally). The foot pocket fits snugly, but not too...

We travel to Florida at least once a year and have gone back to Lauderdale three times and have always had a good time. There are quite a few shore dives (Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is good for at least an hour, and one or two dives), there are lovely sand beaches, some good and reasonably priced...

Just don't lock things until you are handing them over at the check in counter. My husband's bags have been searched each trip, but they just waive me right on up to the ticket counter. I'm hoping that's the way it is on our upcoming trip :)) We use a "real" lock on one section of the bag...

For those shore dives, a secret I use: I went to the local AAA and got a plastic key made. It only works for opening the door (as I have one of those with a chip in the key, too), but then I have access to everything in the vehicle. For a one-day boat trip, I just put my vehicle keys into my...

Undercurrent is more of a newsletter format with articles on travel, equipment, recalls, diver deaths, etc. The annual diver's Chapbook is composed of reviews from divers all over about dive ops -- including how they were treated, how the vis was, guided/non-guided dives, how to contact, etc...

My husband and I both got certified in Monterey (and I completed my AOW at Tahoe). I must admit I've become somewhat of a WWW, and am looking forward to our trip to Saba -- we're leaving Oct. 27. I enjoy diving and also take U/W photo and video. Just picked up my new HID light today at lunch...

But it also helped to inform me of what to do, what to look for, what questions to ask. Thanks for the additional information about UC burn center. I am just one instance where locals forget the resources right in their own back yard. Thanks for the reminder. Again, I appreciate the...
