    Diving in Tenerife

    I thought I'd post again on this thread after returning from holiday in Tenerife. I once again chose to dive with Tenerife Dive. Yvonne and David were great hosts, very helpful and flexible. It says something that most all of the links contained in this thread are dead as the operators are out...

    Puerto Vallarta: Chicos vs. Pacific

    Check the boards, but I think most people will say Pacific. I have dived with Chico's twice and I don't want to again. The last experience I had with them was so-so. The dives are what they are but Chico's had left a lot to be desired, IMHO, in the customer service department. Regardless of who...

    Back pain/ Solutions?

    I had major back problems for almost 18 months. Multiple hernias, degenerative discs... you name it. I went to several doctors, physiotherapists and massage therapists. I did end up having a surgery as my L5 disc was sort of folded which explains why it kept coming out every 2 months or so...

    Cozumel pictures, get your cozemel pictures!

    Nice photos... the composition is great, but when you are editing them in photoshop (or similar editing program) don't use too many filters like the soft coral w/diver as it makes the photo seem unrealistic. Less is more... :)

    Corrupt-a-Wish

    Granted. However, you've out on some weight and now it's 4 sizes too small. I wish all people would be honest and treat all with respect.

    Corrupt-a-Wish

    Granted. Now your stuck in your wetsuit with a sweaty carnie nicknamed "Back" on account of his hairy back. I wish I knew better.

    Corrupt-a-Wish

    Granted. Unfortunately, the cow tramples you before you play a note. I wish people would stop wearing speedos.

    Corrupt-a-Wish

    Granted. Coming up, our tribute to the atonal music masters, followed by a 3 hour marathon of William Shatner's best hits... try and tell the difference between the two... I wish I had a bag of pretzels...

    Corrupt-a-Wish

    Granted. You've just been appointed global transportation director and you have a meeting in New Delhi tomorrow morning. I wish I was the master of time, space and dimension.

    Corrupt-a-Wish

    Granted. However, unfortunately you didn't ask for a tank so *blammo* you're at 120 ft. sans air. I wish I had a $5000 shopping spree at a dive store... scubatoys maybe?... ;)

    Lost At Sea In Cozumel

    Or if you want to be more stylish, take along an iPod and use the shiny chrome back to signal with... Oh, and at best, i think the originator of the thread is exaggerating and at worst is flat out hosing us... my $.02

    What BC and reg do you use?

    BC: Oceanic Chute 3 - I'm liking it a lot as i just bought it a couple months ago... I've only done about 10 dives on it, but it's very comfortable albeit somewhat bulky for travel. Reg: US Divers Conshelf 21 - I'm happy with it as it's served me problem-free (knock on wood) for 12 years...

    Favorite SI/after dive food

    I was thinking how some things taste really good after a dive (i.e. beer definitely tastes better after diving), however is there something that you just crave when you're on an interval or after a dive? Here's mine (some highlights): SI: water & fruit (pineapple, bananas). Unhealthy...
