Hi All - First time posting on Scuba Board in a looooong time and I'm in need of some advice. I've scoured the boards and just can't seem to decide which way to go... My bf and I are experienced divers in our late 30's/early 40's. We like to have a good time with music and good food, we don't...

Hi ladies, I've been doing some research and I was thisclose to ordering a Henderson 3mm full length wetsuit (based partly on the awesome reviews I've read here, so thanks for that!) However, I was reading some reviews on another site and a couple women mentioned that they felt the 3mm didn't...

Wow! Thanks for all the awesome advice ladies. I have shoulder length curly hair and it has been wrecked by all the diving. (I'm an Instructor so in the water constantly!) I'll definitely be trying some of these tips.

I, too, am looking to relocate to the Keys. I'll probably end up working in Islamorada. Can anyone tell me about that area? Would you suggest living in Key Largo? (Background - I'm a single female in my early 30's, no kids. Like to be social but don't want to live right in the middle of the...

Have you thought about Grand Turk in the Turks and Caicos? I live and work here and can attest to the fact that it is very quiet and relaxing. The diving always gets rave reviews and is consistently rated as one of the best in the Caribbean, if not the world. Lots of types of fish, and quite a...

I live and work in Grand Turk and go over to Salt Cay every few weeks or so. Do you have an dive operator selected over there? Also, you MUST go to Porter's and have some drinks, Porter and his wife, Haidee, are awesome and you'll feel like old friends in no time. The whales started arriving a...

I live and work in Grand Turk and before this I was in Utila. So I think may be able to help you. The diving is pretty similar as far as types of fish, but I see way more turtles, stingrays, and sharks here. One group even saw a hammerhead last week. There's some beautiful diving here...

I live and work in Grand Turk and depending on what you're looking for, it may be just the place for you. It's very quiet here - which makes for a nice, relaxing get-away. There's only one main road right along the beach that houses the few small hotels/guest houses and dive shops. From what I...

Grand Turk actually does offer a lot of what you're asking for. We have an amazing 7000' wall with beautiful coral and lots of the standard Caribbean fish. Depending on what time of year you're looking to come we have humpback whales that migrate through here from late-December through mid-March...

While I was there I attended some "whaleshark talks" put on by some marine biologists. This was something that was talked about at one of the seminars. I honestly don't know where they got their research from.

I actually just moved to the island and am working here - so shore based diving. The water today was about 78f. First dive I was just fine but got cold by the end of the second. No hoods...yet.

This is insane. It's sad that these things happen :(

All of the above, plus if you're up for a bit of an more interesting adventure check out the mini-golf course! There's an underground cave, a fireman's pole to slide down, and the whole course was built by this backwoods man that probably hasn't been around normal society in 20+ years. It was a...

I just spent the last seven months on Utila (March - September) and can sadly saw I only saw two whale sharks the whole time I was there. And that was in August. Unfortunately due to changing climate conditions and the like, the whale shark migratory pattern and behavior has changed dramatically...

Oasis Divers and Osprey Hotel in Grand Turk were just voted by Sport Diver as one of 2012 Worlds Best Resorts 2012 World. I work there now, so of course I'm a bit biased but I've been diving in Honduras, Australia, Thailand and Mexico and am pretty pleased this far. I've only been here about 2...

I work at Oasis Divers on Grand Turk and love it here. The water is in the low 80s/upper 70s right now. I've been in a full 3mil and have been just fine the last few weeks.

We are in Grand Turk and there is little to no current here. If you get a chance, come over to Oasis Divers. GT is less crowded, slower paced, and amazingly beautiful. And the diving is amazing.

Galapagos. Cenotes. Bay of Fundy.

I'm here diving on Grand Turk at the moment and most divers are wearing full 3mils and seem to be comfortable. Although personally, my toes get a bit cold :)

Are you only in Australia for a total of 8 days?
