possibility of visiting during that week. if all goes well, i'll get a chance to do a couple dives. thinking Monteray Bay. I'm curious what to expect typically during that time of year. maybe a dive shop in the area? I'm an AOW diver, with 50 logged dives+, i'll be alone and in need of a...

and with a comment like that you're experience with Jamaican people and it's culture is what? no offence, but I hate it when people make statements like that about things they've not experienced. Many many many Jamaicans are proud, hardworking and friendly people trying to make a living. what...

It all depends where you dive. i've dove spots in Negril that all the coral is bleached and there aren't many fish. i've also dove some sites that are really nice, huge coral, lots of fish, etc.. the deeper you go, the better it seems to be. if you're looking for the worlds best diving...

i haven't checked, but isn't SCUBA considered a hazardous hobby, and most life insurance is void if you die while diving?

a shark? lucky (said in my best napolean accent).. well done

when i put on my 2 piece i wear a Lycra suit, then i turn my wetsuit inside out and just sort of roll it on. makes it much easier. wet or dry doesn't matter...

after my AOW night dive, i disassembled my brand new Ikelite super 8 to wipe it down and make sure no moisture had gotten inside.. all was well.. i put all my equipement away and 2 weeks later when i removed the light from my dive box i noticed the reflective material was discolored. i...

saw my first sea turtle in 18' of water. watched it for about 5 minutes.. so graceful.. as i watched it, it showed me a small coral community teaming with life.. eels, rays, sea cucumbers, starfish... if i hadn't noticed the turtle, i would of swam past all the other things.. i love...

found this story at another community. is he trying to sound intelligent or cool? "Day 4 The gang wanted to beach it again, so I snorkeled over to Grand Lido Negril & met up with the dive boat captain. For a small fee I was off on a two tank dive with the dive master. What a blast, as I was...

:11: better a push than a nibble :D

the situations you described above are very different from a diver swiming up to an eel, shark or other reef resident and handling, poking or chasing it.. i would very much like to have a seal be so comfortable with my presence that he swims up to check me out or tries to take a nibble out of...

alot of today's divers aren't willing to learn how to dive properly., why would they want to learn about the thousands of creatures they might encounter during a dive? easiest way to protect the underwater environment is to teach "Don't touch".. you're not supposed to touch the coral, but...

i don't understand the infatuation with people wanting to touch creatures underwater... why can't people just leave well enuff alone and observe them in their natural environment without having to touch everything in sight... would you like it if some big dopey creature, 10x bigger than you...
