    What's the most intimidating dive you've done or thing that happened to you?

    I was diving on the Dixie Arrow by Hatteras Village in N.C. We were diving on the Under Pressure with Capt. J.T. Barker which is a great outfit to dive with. We were mid wreck at 85fsw. and stationary for at least 2 minutes. I had just finished video filming a moray for 2 full minutes when my...

    Dive Boats: What Are 'Yours' Like?

    In Fort Lauderdale Florida, two tank dive with nitrox is around $80. I use Welcome to Miss Conduct Dive Charters Which is a 30' six pack. More common is the 40'-50' cattle boat taking 20-30 divers. From dock to dive site is about 30 minutes. The six pack will take you to whatever sites the...

    New Diver looking for sites in FL or Caribbean

    If you want to dive in Boynton Beach Florida, I would suggest Captain Leo 888 340 3483 or 561 734 3818. He runs a very good ship. The diving is also good in Boynton but in my opinion may not be worth the drive time from your hotel. I also used to live in West Palm, had my own boat, and dove...

    There seems to be more types of soft coral in the Indopacific than the Caribbean

    I just came back from diving in the Komodo Islands on the Damai 2 for 10 days. The corals were unbelievable as well as the the other wildlife. The Caribbean does not compare to the Pacific and especially Indonesia. I've done everything from Bernuda to Bon Aire. I don't bother filming the...

    Dive masks with purge valves

    I've been diving since 1985 and have had about 4 different masks with purge valves. I never needed to use more than one hand to clear my ears, howver that problem I had was the purge literally came out of the mask on two different masks. I liked the convenience but wasn't worth the potential...

    Cenote Diving in Playa del Carmen

    I agree with the posters before, your group does not appear to be qualified from the information supplied to do the cenotes in Playa del carmen. There may be some that are more similar to a grotto or small cave but then they wouldn't be called a cenote. I've been to the cenotes, and the ones...
