I bought for my husband for Christmas last year what are basically 'cheaters' which stick on to the inside of the mask likr bi focals with a moistening of water. They worked great.

Another great Aruba dive is the Antilla, a WW2 wreck well encrusted and populated with life.

Consider Club Med. We had great wall diving with them on San Salvador (which they call Columbus Isle). And the food spread on the boat at the surface interval should be required by law on every dive boat on the planet!

The only issue with Stuart Coves while staying at the Atlantis is the 60+ minutes on the bus to and from the dive shop, stopping every 5 inutes at every hotel along the way. Bahama Divers is right at the base of the bridge onto Paradise Island.

You will enjoy Kona. If you are a coffee drinker, make sure to Visit Hula Daddy Coffee Plantation. It spoiled my DH so much, he now has it shipped in to NY!

Loved Bite Me. We went out with them 3 days on the last trip. Great boats and captains.

Here's my Maui Tiger shark story...We go to the dock with Lahaina Divers. There are two boats. I get on the boat for Molokini. The captain says 'Anyone on this boat who does not hold an AOW card, Deepwater cert, Drift cert, you are on the wrong boat and need to get on the boat next to us for...

Trilogy's molokini charter is great too. It also has a slide to the water, which the kids enjoy, a quite decent barbeque and a bar! :-)

And you wont have to do the BS pool check out dive that Beaches insists you do even if you are a DM. They only dive that pool dive once a day, so if you miss it on arrival day, it will cost you 2 days of diving on your trip.

^ I would aggree with this assessment. I have been to Maui 6 times and have been out with Captain Nemo (now gone), Lahaina Divers, Scuba Mike and 5 *. NOT at all fans of 5 * or Scuba Mike. When he stripped off naked in the parking lot to put on his wet suit commando, it was a bit much. I realize...

Just as general info on Beaches T and C....Regardless of whether you are a newbie or a divemaster (DH and I are both rescue divers), Beaches requires you to do a check out dive in the POOL before they will allow you in the ocean. They only do that check out dive once a day. So depending on your...

Let me just warn you that the dive shop at Beaches T and C has some really strong requirements before you can dive. When we were there 7 years ago, we thought they had obviously had some lawsuit issue. They required 1. a doctors cetificate of fitness to dive within 7 days of your arrival and 2...

Hey Jon...The Reef is at the pretty remote far end of Grand Cayman, right by the great wall dives, but a solid 25 minute drive to 7 Mile Beach restaurants for dinner. That being said, the diving at that part of the island kicks butt off 7 mile dives (though you must do Stingray City even though...

I thought the diving with Blue Island Divers on St Thomas was fine. But there was definately more hostile attitude towards the tourists then what you see on most islands these days. Back in the 70s-80's Jamaica had that tone/attitude until they realized tht if the tourists were not coming, it...

We used Lahaina Divers last time, which was fine, except they cancelled a morning drip because we were the only ones on it and just informed us when we appeared at 7:30 am. A phone call would have been too much? But the dives we did do with them were professionally run.

We stayed at Royal Seaquarium and there was a large dive outfit right at the base of the driveway. Nice resort on it's own little island shared with the Seaquarium, which my daughter ADORED. Her favot\rite tri ever. She did Bubblemaker in the dolphin enclosure at 7 and will be a lifelong diver...

What got my 'panties in a bunch'? Try this on. When I signed in for the dives I indicated we needed complete gear set ups top to bottom and 12 lbs on the weight. "Oh yes, missus. I carry all your gear to the boat and set everything up for you'. Sounds great as the boat is at the very end of the...

Turtle hospital is great. If you have a moral objection to dolphin cove, why not do the snorkel with the dolphins in the area known as the dolphin playground? Great fun for my then pre dive age daughter.

Really? When we were out with them 18 months ago, they had a pier that was in danger of falling down, literally, and the most primitive 'dive boats' I've ever seen. Not even a ladder to climb back in the boat, never mind a rinse shower or a shady area. We are going back in March and I am looking...

Is it still chilly by mid June? We're doing the cruise then. I know there are a lot of wreks off Croatia. Hows the sea life? Anyone know how the diving is off Italy too?
