I was in St. Thomas for 10 days this past February and really enjoyed it. Beautiful island and the views are fantastic. I did 10 dives with Aqua Marine dive center. I loved it because they only take 6 divers max per trip and are a small very personable shop. I think you will get a real good...

Ditto - We used them last month and my bags were plenty heavy and big and they didn't even seem to notice. It did take a little while for our bags to make it though as they were not on our flight. Two planes later they arrived (about 30 minutes).

Thanks Downing and Peter. Peter - we had lunch at the little cafe you recommended (across the street from Paradise Villas) and enjoyed meeting the gal (can't remember her name) who operates it. Also enjoyed the Blue Grill for dinner that night. I would love to do some more diving in Belize so...

I just did some dives with my newly cert. daughter who trained on dive tables. When she saw how much more time was gained diving with a computer vs. the tables all she could think about was getting her own dive computer.

This trip actually originated from my daughter's biology class 7 years ago in Belize. She loved the country so much that she decided to get married there. I arrived in Belize City with my wife on the 5th and flew Tropic Air ($72) to San Pedro to hook up with my oldest daughter and her husband...

There was a nice spot on the northern end of the 7 mile beach that was right by a cemetery that I think would be good for a shore dive. I snorkeled there the day before all my boat dives and wished I could have dove there. I don't recall the name but all the locals know of it. The taxi dropped...

Just did 4 dives yesterday in a lavacore suit and was comfy. My daughter used a 3 mil shorty and got a little cold on the third dive. Computer says the water temp was 80.

I'm all packed (cause my wife made me do it early) and we're ready for our trip to Belize. We're leaving Saturday arriving at Belize Intl Airport and then taking Tropic air to Ambergris Caye. We're staying at Paradise Villas and diving with Reef Adventures on Sunday the 6th (3 of us). Then...

We are also arriving May 5 and will stay in San Pedro until the 7th when we start our mainland events. This is my first time to the area and we'll be diving only on the 6th at AC with Reef Adventures. Later in the week we'll dive at Hopkins.

Thanks ScubaERDOC - very nice report and I'll be arriving at Paradise Villa May 5 and will be diving with Reef Adventures with 2 of my adult kids. I'm really glad to hear you had such a nice trip. One question I have is about the flight from Belize City to AC. I noticed that Tropic air has...

Great - we need more quarries closer to Columbus! Do you know how deep the quarry is?

Thanks everyone - great advice as always. We are all 3 very new divers so all the words of wisdom and experience are invaluable. I've really learned from this forum the importance of thoroughly reviewing procedures and protocol before a dive with your buddy(s). I look forward to applying this...

I am diving with my daughter and son-in-law next month and haven't come across any discussions about a three-some buddy group. Am I wrong in thinking that all 3 of us can be our own buddy group?

Thanks for the report tt5. I'll be there next month.

Ah yes - where would we be without the scientists to enlighten us. Adam or Eve must have been a scientist - how else would the human species have survived all these thousands of years without having scientists helping us know about why things are as they are? OR - you could just assume that...

Go to the settings menu for "Set U" and the cycle through the menus with the Select button until you reach TMT1 and turn it off. I think that will do it.

BVickery, I'm glad to see how motivated you are to work at obtaining better health. Good for you! I am an avid runner and exercise faithfully. About 5 years ago I seriously changed my diet and pretty much eliminated sugar, went to whole foods and avoid as much processed food as possible. I...

I'll be looking forward to hearing about your trip with Reef Adventures - mine is about 6 weeks away. I also am planning on Nitrox and also do not have an analyzer.

I got a price break by paying 100% up front. I don't mind taking a chance since I have read good things about Reef Adventures. I'm sure there are many good dive shops there but this one is real close to where I am staying so that just makes things more simple. I like simple. I'll be sure and...

I have the exact same questions Matt. Thanks for asking.
