I'm totally amazed at how long this thread has become. Wow! I don't know. I think the people who have responded negatively to me online are the same people who would respond negatively to me in person. The thing is, people who are less than polite on-line sometimes restrict themselves to...

You're right. I didn't want to say I was okay if my partner was trapped on the bottom and running out of air, because I was afraid I would be ignored after that. That's why I didn't say I was okay until I found out he was already on the boat.

Actually, since this is my first BCD, I figured the likely problem was that I was simply using it wrong. In that case, it wouldn't be a problem with the product itself, but just ignorance on my part that would need to be corrected. By the way, I got a nice reply from ScubaPro. Spoke with...

After I posted the original question, I had the dive described in another thread. During the time I was on the surface trying to get back to the boat, after having been down under water for about an hour, every time I inflated my BCD air escaped from the relief valve. So I'm assuming it...

Thank-you, everyone, for your thoughtful replies. If I had this to do over again, I would: Not lose my buddy in the first place. That was clearly my doing. Discuss lost buddy protocols before the dive. Clearly, not everyone follows the ones taught in the course. Give the okay sign...

Well, I don't care where my thread is, as long as I get an answer. But I figured maybe only the manufacturer would read my post if I put it there. The manufacturers' forums description says that they're for questions directed at manufacturers. And I figured someone else who owns this BCD...

It started out an excellent dive. Beautiful reef, lots of beautiful fish. After 50 minutes my (stranger) buddy and I decided to head back to the boat. There was a strong current, and we had spent the whole dive swimming into the current, so we surfaced to look for the boat. It was about 200...

I just bought my first BCD, a Scuba Pro Glide. I really like the BCD, had used this type of BCD at Sunset House on Grand Cayman on 2 dive trips. And I like the one I bought. But there's something it does that has me a bit puzzled. When I first connect it on the boat, and put air into the...

All I can say is, Amazing! Some day, I'm definitely going to Wakatobi. Wow! ---------- Post Merged at 02:51 AM ---------- Previous Post was at 02:40 AM ---------- Just checked out their web site. http://www.barefootcay.com/ Also fabulous! That one's now on my list too!

Ah, there's a logical, insightful reply. Thanks!

Okay, I'm segueing from the Caribbean to the Western Pacific because my requirement for water temperatures over 83 degrees rules out a Caribbean trip in January. So... my wife and I are looking for a moderately upscale resort that offers more than just scuba diving, but in a place where scuba...

Okay, I'll give it a try. Oh yeah. But there's no forum for both, so I put my post in the Asia forum. ---------- Post Merged at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous Post was at 09:56 AM ---------- Hm, maybe I'm not looking for a dive resort, but rather a resort where diving is available. I...

That's an interesting statement. I wonder why luxury accommodations and really good diving don't coexist very well?

I did my OW in Grand Cayman in December and the water was 83 degrees. I think this must have been a fluke, because all the research I've done online regarding Caribbean water temperatures in the winter are consistent with the posts in this thread. Adding a couple of millimeters of neoprene...

Post deleted because title wrong.

Okay, as a beginning diver, I've been to Sunset House on Grand Cayman (twice) and Hotel Cozumel in Cozumel. I'm also a beginner to the Caribbean. I was initially disappointed at these two resorts because they weren't what I've always seen in the movies when somebody goes to a Caribbean resort...

It might be because of my report, in which I said I was a bit put off by some of the wild behavior. After I'd been there for a few days, though, I was acting as childish as everybody else. And, truth be told, these childish people are actually successful professionals who are acting childish...

Reminds me of the woman who said, "I don't get older, but I have noticed that photographs get younger over time."

Have you had hearing damage from diving?

1. Good flat-screen cable TV with movies that can be purchased. (This may be more than one can expect from a B&B, but you asked.) 2. A place in or attached to the room where I can hang my wet suit to dry. 3. A dive op on site with the boat coming directly to the dock, also on site. If you're...
