    dive gear for kids?

    We have twins that will be 10 early next summer, and finally, we can get them certified! Does anyone know where to find gear (mainly having trouble with bc) for kids that small? I know we can't be the only family who want their kids to dive, but I can't find the equipment they need. The best I...

    Fiji diving

    We just returned from a week at Beqa Lagoon Resort and had a wonderful time!!! The staff was exceptional and the diving was unbelievable! Huge fans and more coral than I've ever seen. We saw so many lion fish that we almost became bored with them! (*yawn*...another lion fish) Were it not for the...

    Fleece lined wetsuit?

    I am trying to find a place to order a diveskin or wetsuit with a fleece lining. Our LDS cannot order the brand they used to carry anymore, and I can't even find them online. A friend of mine has one, and after borrowing it for a dive, I have to have one. The warmth is so much better! ( Not to...

    Dacor Closing UP??

    Our LDS owner told us that Dacor was filing bankrupcy again, and that this time they were more than likely not going to be able to pull out of it. My husband and I were looking at some Dacor regs and he discouraged us from getting them for this reason. (Yet another benefit of buying local!) As...

    Buying from local dive shop verse online?

    My husband and I bought 2 full sets of gear this summer (BCD's, regulators, tanks, wetsuits, computers, etc...) and bought it all at our LDS. Yes, we paid more than we could have gotten it online, but the owner of the shop walked us through the entire purchase. He was concerned with what we...

    How Much Money Did You Spend In Your First Year of Diving?

    Between my husband and myself, we've spent over 15,000 and have been certified for 1 year exactly, but have only done 3 actual dives! After 2 shore dives, we had to buy a boat! So, I guess you could say we've spent 5,000 on real gear, with a lot more to go! Just put a deposit on a trip to Fiji...

    Beqa Lagoon in Oct.2005

    Hello all! I have done some searching, and most of the information on Beqa Lagoon is relatively old. Has anyone been there recently? And has anyone stayed at the Marlin Bay Resort? Our LDS just booked a trip there for next October (2005) and there is not a lot on the web regarding this resort...

    Has anyone tried the new "Instead"...

    Yes, removal is pretty Yuck!, but on an all day dive trip - especially if you are out on a boat - I find it well worth it. They are not something I would use for an everyday solution, but I like the convenience of not changing for 12 hours. Just an alternative...

    Has anyone tried the new "Instead"...

    We went diving this weekend, and for the first time during a dive, I was having my period. I normally use tampons, but have to go with the super absorbancy ones as my flow is very heavy. I was worried about being on the lake all day, in and out of the water, because I have a tendancy to have...

    Dental work and Diving?

    I am in the process of having some very involved dental work done, and have several great dives planned. My question is...does depth affect things like crowns, fillings, and what about temporary crowns or having had a tooth pulled? Right now I have just had a tooth pulled due to a bad root...

    My husband and I are taking a trip in mid-late October for our anniversary. We are both new to diving (certified last fall) and want to make this trip a dive trip. I am, and have always been, fascinated with sea turtles and would *love* to see them on a dive. Does anyone have any suggestions on...
