Hi Michael, Welcome from Oshkosh. Glad to have you "de-lurked". Enjoy the forums!!

Well, it wasn't today, but last week we were in St. Croix and I did 6 dives with Cane Bay Scuba. We did the Cane Bay wall, the Salt River mouth east and west, and the old rubble site called "Armageddon" as well as a nice dive under the Fredriksted Pier. Great dives, and top marks for Cane Bay...

I would do New Providence again in a heartbeat! Nassau, on the other hand, is not something I'd spend a lot of time with. We had a great time last August when we went there. Stayed at Orange Hill. Wonderful people, personal service, great atmosphere. Dove with Custom Acquatics. Wonderful...

Thanks for all the replies and info. Really appreciate all the good stuff! Just to be clear, we didn't actually choose Divi because of the all-inclusive stuff. We are Divi timeshare owners on St. Maarten, but we traded our week there for a week in St. Croix this year just to try something...

Thanks for these replies. Sort of as I thought, but it's good to have confirmation!

I just got a new Oceanic BC and we're going on a dive vacation in about a week. I've heard talk that a new BC should have the tank band "conditioned". I assume this would involve getting the band wet and getting it to stretch out. Am I close? What should I do to get this BC ready for my trip...

We were in Marathon last winter and dove with Dive Duck Key. They treated us very well. I'd go back to them again. Have a great dive!

Debby, Thanks again for the info. Really appreciated! We'll be at Divi for the full week, Saturday to Saturday. Thanks for that info. We'll give it some thought and make our decision. As for driving on the left, been there done that. It doesn't bother me at all, so that shouldn't be a...

Thanks Debby! I appreciate the input. I'll make sure to contact Cane Bay and set something up. Yeah, I noticed that. I checked it out on Google Earth, so I sort of have the lay of the land, at least from the satellite viewpoint!! I'll figure out whether we want to get a car or if we just...

In a few weeks my wife and I will be going to St. Croix. We're staying at Divi Carina Bay Resort. I want to dive! Anybody know anything about who offers diving out of Divi Carina Bay? Any suggestions on "must dive" locations or best operators? We've never been to St. Croix so any info or...

...and bought a BC! I want to thank everyone who offered input and answers to my many questions as I shopped for a BC. I really appreciate all the help. After reading everything I could lay eyes on, both in this forum and in other places on the net and in various books and magazines, and...

I'm bumping this one up one more time in hopes that someone will have some input on either of these BCDs. Let me know what you know!! Thanks!!

Hi all! If you've caught my recent posts you have probably deduced that I'm shopping for a BCD. In my ongoing and ever-expanding quest to choose a BCD I have answered some questions and come up with even more questions. One thing for sure - there are too many choices!! :) I have visited a...

Glad to hear you had a good experience! My wife and I are booked on the Cuan Law this coming February and we're really looking forward to it!

Hi Marco! Welcome to the forums. I used to live in your neck of the woods. Grew up in Wis. Rapids. Now I'm over in Oshkosh though. I don't do much diving around here. Too busy in the summer and too cold in the winter. Do most of my diving on vacations to the tropics. Good luck with your...

I highly recommend Custom Aquatics. We dove with them in August and could not have been more pleased. They have all the facilities to do the entire course, or you could do a referral as suggested above. Either way, I am sure you would not be disappointed. Fran and Monty are a class act and...

Sea Hunt definitely had an influence on my desire to dive. Also Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea helped as well. It took me almost 50 years, but I finally made it!

Anybody using an XS Scuba Necton BC? I'm shopping for a BC right now and this is one that I'm thinking about. I'd appreciate hearing feedback from anyone who uses or has used one. Thanks!!!

My daughter and I just returned from a dive trip to New Providence, Bahamas. We dove with Custom Aquatics. I want to publicly thank Fran and Monty at Custom Aquatics for a fantastic diving experience! We really appreciated their friendly attitudes and professional service. They provided us...

Thanks for the comments. Just what I was looking to hear. Very much appreciated!
