Hello, all! It's been years since I was a regular scubaboard junkie, but an upcoming move has me wanting for info. My family is moving to Columbia, MD next month and I'd love to start learning the lay of the land regarding nearby diving, dive shops, etc. We spent the last year in Michigan...

Oh, and I should've said, we usually had 8 divers on the boat (us 4 + another 4). It was perfect.

We just returned from a week in Key Largo, and since I chose our accomodations/dive op based on advice from this site, I figure it's only fair to give a brief trip report to help others. Our group: 4 diving adults. Two of our group did not have AOW or 100' dives within the year, so a guide...

Other than a LDS, where can these O-rings be picked up?

Hello, all- We have 6 adults & 2 kids (under 3 y/o) going to Key Largo in May. We're looking for condo/house/townhouse rental units. We wouldn't necessarily have to have us all in one unit, but if we split up, it will be 2 adults in one & 4 adults+2 kids in the other. I've already...

Mourningnancy, Hopashore, you have my sincerest sympathies. Welcome to the community; I hope you are finding support and solace here. As a physician, I've been close to countless families at the time of a death of a loved one...some expected, many unexpected. It's human nature to replay...

As several have said, an autopsy is necessary to make this diagnosis, but I think you're reading too much into what the husband said. From this quote, he's saying that his wife had one heck of a cough, enough to make her ribs hurt bad...probably some costochondritis (come on, let's not knock...

Oh- is anyone familiar with Silent World?

Thanks for all of the suggestions. For those who haven't heard, Capt. Mike (Quiescence) died in a free-diving accident Oct. 5th. How tragic. Info on their website.

Hi all, We're a group of 4 divers planning a trip to the keys in late May, early June '08. So far, we've done Looe Key for a week (a few years ago) and Marathon Key for several days. In both cases, we went with ops that would pull out from the dock around 8am and took out no more than 6-8...

I should have also said that we're looking for a dive op that will listen to our interests (e.g. whether we want a shallow dive, wall dive, etc.) but doesn't have to wait on us hand & foot (i.e., we don't need them to supply a 7-course meal during our SIT...hehe - a bottle of water would be...

Hi all, Thinking about a Coz trip in late Feb-early March '08. We'll be traveling with non-diving friends & two children under age 3. My wife and I are interested in recommendations for a charter that will take out a small number of divers (6-ish)... We'd prefer early morning runs on a fast...

Thanks. It appears there may be some shore diving in the Aguadilla area, which is near Isabella I think. I just haven't found too many other people familiar with PR!

Does anyone have experience with Puerto Rico shore diving? Thinking of a trip in late Feb-early March '08, and we really prefer to shore dive.... Suggestions? Jim

Any recommendations for a good book that includes info on Sipidan (or more generally, Borneo/Malaysia/SE Asia) for divers? A friend is going within the next couple months... Thanks, Jim

Visited this weekend. Turns out his recollection of where the boat went down is not too accurate, plus the current down Lake Barkley was really whipping that day. Who knows where the boat is, but it's not going to be worth hunting. Thanks for all the advice, though. Could've potentially been...

I'll have to get more info for you. Prizer Point marina is the closest marina to the location, I'm sure. As for exact type of boat (it's was just a small, alumninum fishing boat probably 15 years old) & type of outboard, etc. I just don't know. I'll be up there this weekend & will take a ride...

I agree, don't bother getting both cards. I'm NAUI OW, IANTD AOW, and signed up for YMCA SLAM. No one ever cared what my previous certs were from, and if someone said I'd need to pay some fee to "switch" (unless I was doing DM/instructor training or something) before taking a class, I'd tell...

When shooting RAW, it won't make ANY difference. The only difference it makes is what the RAW editor (ACR, Bibble, RawEssentials, whatever) defaults to for that image when editing. I'm lurking, not yet an underwater photographer, but shoot a lot topside. I can say that topside there are...

I'm not sure how far it is from shore, but my in-laws have a pontoon boat that could easily tow the fishing boat to a dock or shore if raised. I suspect it's fairly close to shore, because the middle portion of Lake Barkley (as you may know) is a shipping channel, and very deep. Since he tells...
