    Brief dive report on Dominica and Tobago

    Just returned from a cruise that gave me the opportunity to do 2 dives in both Dominica and Tobago. Some observations in no particular order: Dominica is beautiful! I dove with Nature Island Dive in the "town" (OK, more like a few houses) of Soufriere. Very nice people, decent boats, and...

    Grand Cayman: private dive guides

    Does anyone know of any dive guides for hire in GC with their own boat? At the risk of sounding like a dive snob, I have to confess that I'm very tired of being stuffed on the cattle boats offered by the usual suspect dive operators. They are all very nice people and do a great job on safety...

    Best Dives in Bonaire

    This is a little late for msubryan -- sorry. But, I figured I would weigh in for others considering Bonaire. I found Angel City the best dive, by far, on Bonaire. Actually, it's in my top 3 "best dives ever." Of course, these things are always a matter of personal preference, but I think...

    Photo training

    I'm a long-time diver who has dabbled with underwater photography via a very simple Sony DSC-W220 and a Sony housing (which works reasonably well in shallow, bright conditions). I thoroughly love taking and sharing pictures and am ready to invest some time and money in getting much better...

    BP/W: I officially don't get it

    Recently took the plunge and bought a Halcyon BP/W set-up after reading all the "sturm and drang" on this board for years. My verdict: it's OK, but barely different (if at all) from a basic, pedestrian BC. Give me good diving conditions and interesting marine life and, frankly, I couldn't...

    East end...

    Given the pending clamp-down on tax havens (from the US and the EU), it seems the Caymans (Grand Cayman anyway) may be in for some tough times.

    Survey, rank the 5 best dive spots in Caribbean

    Seems like St. John in the USVI never gets much love. But, I think the diving is very underrated, great restaurants across a wide price range, pretty easy flights in/out of St. Thomas, awesome beaches, and a decent range of accommodations (but a bit pricey).

    Cancun May 28 - Jun 4th

    ManBearPig (great name! I'm a SP fan as well), Just got back from Cancun and did a cenote dive with MAD. Unless you are really claustrophobic I think you will be fine. There was light visible during most of the dive, but even in the true overhead environments it was never too tight. I...

    Cozumel from Cancun in 1 day?

    Staying at the Westin in Cancun. Is it feasible to get from Cancun to Cozumel, dive, and return in the same day? If so, does anyone have any recommendations for how to pull this off? Do any operators provide transportation as part of a dive package? In the perfect world, we'd be able to do...
