    Anyone help with diving Tobago?

    I dived with Underwater TObago based at Coco Reef Hotel. Did my AOW there. On the drift dive there was a guy who had just certified - it was quite mild and he coped ok. The guy had certified with that operator so there will be sites close by there for new divers

    Anxiety Plus Broken Bone

    Hi Arnaud. I know that's what I should have done but I was just taken over by my gasping for breath and i think I went to the other pair for 'help.' A good illustration of how thinking gets confused. Northeastwrecks - my buddy did look for me and did surface. We had talked thru procedures but...

    Anxiety Plus Broken Bone

    I was going to post this in Basic Discussions but decided to put it here first for reasons which will become clear. Sunday I was on a 3 dive boat trip. At the first site, we were ready to enter the water when someone knocked my octopus, which started to freeflow. I swung my hand round to get...

    What...no Birds?

    Personally, I wanted to replace the macaws with Nemo the Cat but it fell on deaf ears!! :kittykay: Don't bring the birds back but what about something marine? The current logo is a bit low key - to the point of perhaps being overlooked! :goldfish:

    There is no icon for sending PMs to people from their posts. Is it just me? I think it is enabled in my profile

    Fear of Scuba can be overcome with time!!!

    Hey, Izzy. Thanks for sharing you story. I'm sorry you've had so much pressure put on you. Diving isn't for everyone but sometimes people who are passionate about it try to force it onto others.

    Where was your first OW dive?

    Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. I was seasick on the way back from the dive. It was very choppy but the dive was great. What a sense of achievement that I had been able to put it all into practice in the ocean. I'd go back there like a shot.

    How long does it take you to get ready?

    I know we're talking about normal relaxed circumstances here which is fine. I agree, it can be more hurry less speed. But it can be important to be able to gear up quickly if an emergency arises. In the rescue class we were timed gearing up (donning drysuits, assembling kit and donning)...
