What kind of person posts a statement like he "made a polaris 2 feet out of the water"? If the point of this board is to discuss accedents and learn from them, maybe you should try doing that in a professional manner. How about using the term he had a run-away accent? If you are just looking...

I'm heading up that way for the week of Aug 22. Can someone please help me out with the current water temps? Thank you for your help.

HOLLY SMOKES... nice catch... it looks like I was on the wrong boat that day!

I am going out to the Gulftrade on Saturday (if the weather holds). I would like to get a look at the creature known as Lobzilla... any idea of where he hangs out at?

I've went up to the 1000 Island area last summer. The visability up there is really 100ft. In the late summer the Temps are inthe mid to high 70's The current is really ripping... it is a RIVER. So be prepared for it. We used Wayne Green (info@islanddiver.ca). He has a couple of...

The "New Jersey Scuba Diver" web site is the most informative site I've seen for information on NE diving. It has a very good section on pony bottles, doubles, "Spare Air", etc. Also a good section on what to expect on NE boat diving. http://njscuba.net/gear/eqpt_05_tanks.html

Yes, now that you bring up the name, Islanddiver is who we used last year. Wayne was EXCELLENT!!! If I get no other suggestions that is the way I will go this year for sure.

For clearification. I am scrambling to get the logistics of this trip together so any advice on who to use, how to get from the hotel to their boat, etc. would be greatly appriciated. Thanks again...

I just received 2 free round trip tickets to Puerto Rico for this weekend 4/22-4/24. I will be staying at the Marriott in San Juan. I would like to get 4 tanks in on Saturday. Any advice on boat operators I could use on a short notice? Thanks...

I dove the 1000 island area of the St. Lawrance last year on a trip booked though my LDS in NJ (4 days divining). It was a VERY enjoyable trip and I would like to spend even more time diving the St. Lawrance this year. We stayed at the Caiger Country Inn and left from their dock every morning...

If your cruise takes you to GC give fisheye scuba a call. We used them on our cuise in March. 3 dives, 4 divers on the 2 morning dives and only 2 of us on the afternoon dive. $125USD tanks and weights. Great boat captain/DM. No worries/problems. Long bottom times, no problem with surface...

Of course the diving was beter in GC than in Jamaca. The difference is in how they treat the reef systems. In GC it is a nature sanctuary and seen as a resource for the travel industry with heavy fines for abusing it. In Jamaca we saw Lobster traps set out in all the sand flats. As you can...

I have just returned from a week long cruise with Holland America Lines and had two days a very enjoyable diving. Day One - Grand Cayman (George Town): I booked the dives through Fisheye Scuba. I got off the ship at the pier and asked around for Fisheye but all the cab operators thought...

I did a 5 day weekend up there last August. WOW what great diving. The visability is forever, the temps are very warm in the late summer, the wrecks are intact and 100 years old... what more can you ask for. Diving in the current is quite a trip if you've never done it before. Pull...

You should always have a back-up gauge with you when you dive. That way if you run into any problems with your computer whether it be head space or mechanical you can finish your dive with the tables. This however requires you to PLAN AND LOG EVERY DIVE. If you are relying on your computer to...

I will be on the Veendam out of Tampa on for the week of 3/12-3/19. Anyone who will be on this ship and diving... I am considering setting up a charter for the day in Grand Cayman (3/14) It would be nice to get in 3-4 dives with a 6 pack rather than the cattle car with Red Sail Sports. I have...

I don't know where to start. You are a certified diver. Which means you should be responsible for yourself above and below the water. 1. If your tank slip out of the BCD... it is because you where to lazy to check it. 2. If the equipment was questionable... why did you get in the water...

Can't go back to the Bahamas and Caymans? Tell the truth your on the run from the law arn't you... :-)

I've heard good things about Fisheye. That is who my LDS in NJ recomended also...

Thank you all for this information. I have sent out e-mails to each of the operations suggested. I'll see who is most accomidating and make my selection. Also I'll be posting a trip report when I get back so that eveyone can get some feed back as to the experience we had. Thanks again!
