How much longer is the rain forecasted? accuweather.com looks pretty dismal for the next 2 weeks at Kihei, Maui as does weather.com. Are these forecasts credible? Joe

It's where we stayed for our OW cert dives in 2001, and where I stayed anytime we weren't doing a kids/family high-end vacation in GC. And its where my son and I went for his junior OW cert dives last year. Very Sad to see it go.... I hope the staff have survived the change and found new...

Any word on what will become of the old Seaview property. I'd heard it would not be repaired/rebuilt, that it was sold and that all personnel had been let go? Is the same true for the bar and resturant? Regards, Joe

I'm considering Cayman Brac, in late November which based on web reports sustained little structural damage.Plans are to return to "normal as soon as flights resume. Just not sure how I feel about visiting Brac while so much devastation has occurred next door on GC. On the other hand they, I'm...

Has any one had experience w Ocean Vibes in Provo? I've been to T&C twice and dove w Fifi both times. No reason to change ops he and crew are awesome!! On my last trip I met a number of others who raved about this small operator: Ocean Vibes They were impressed w his personal...

Does anyone know why these computers are not on the market yet. There was a lot of fanfare by Oceanic a while back but now a lot of silence. What's up with that? Joe

What kind of boat GOLF could bring you? Greg Norman, "The Shark," recently took delivery of his new toy, named "Aussie Rules," which he helped design. At 69.5 meters (228 feet) in length, it's the world's largest aluminum and composite private yacht. He had it built for only $70 million...

Hi All, I'm scheduled for some diving in Grand Cayman and my buddy just cancelled. I'm wondering if any one is planning to be in GC and looking for a dive buddy before I cancel and take my cancellation/change fee hits on the airfare. Joe

I agree with Ronrosa about Nick and Red Baron. They are outstanding. As to flight altitudes, I'm pretty certain that they are under 3000 feet, maybe 2000 feet, on Island Air. I can't recall whether or not those are acceptable for same day flying. Brac is an outstanding dive location, but...

I took the class in Nov at GC. I didn't dive it enough to say whether or not I "felt" better compared to air; I did 4 tanks of EAN 32 and 6 air. My point? .... Ndl's obviously are longer, but was there more of a "geezer" benny? ... I'm not sure. Do take away from your class the importance of...

Robinhood, you might try Red Baron. Nick and Patrick operate 2, 8-diver max, boats typically west, south, or north, with the location depending on conditons. You can reach them at: 1 345 947 0116 info@redbaron.com

You must have had better luck with the weather on your trip we couldn't go North due to conditions during 21 Nov - 25 Nov. It's hard to disagree with your assessment of the west end diving. I'm really looking forward to trying some east end diving on GC hoping it a bit different from the...

Even if you don't dive w Divetech, as suggested by Northeastwrecks, you should check out the shore diving at Divetech's Turtle Reef location. I was in GC junior certifying my son just before thanksgiving, and his first post cert dive was done at Turtle Reef. Of the 10 dives we did that...

IMHO... Casey's got it right. The small ops are the way to go. I've gone with Red Baron and think they are great. But my sense is that you can't go wrong with any of Casey's suggestions. Also, when I've stayed at the Hyatt or Westin, RedSail was always a great option for a quick afternoon...

Based on what I've read here and elsewhere we're diving with Caicos Adventures over the New Year holiday. They appear to be the only op that regularly crosses to West Caicos. With other ops its more of a hit and miss once in a while excursion that ventures to W.C. West Caicos and other...

At 11 and 9 years old I can't remember 5 & 3 in a resturant... any resturant!!! Well actually not quite true ....I do remember....and with lots of smiles and laughter....Its just that .... well .... I wouldn't want to miss the experience and !!!.... repeating it wouldn't rate up there with #...

Pic act Oceanic website suggests rubber and/or plastic. No metal means not really an every day look....imho. Any insight as to replacement cycle planned for the ... "long in the tooth" ... Stinger?

Would you buy a Stinger now or wait for an Atom this Spring? Why? Has any one seen any "independent" feedback on the Atom yet? Thanks Joe

Dumb Question I just completed PADI Nitrox course. How much "classroom work should I have had .... hands on with the O2 analyzer? My total experience was limited to watching the DM/Instructor calibrate the analyzer....learning that every analysis should be preceded by a calibration ...
