    Buddy and I both have Sea Quests with 600 dives over nearly 9 years all warm water. They have been serviced annually. Except for being faded they are both in excellent condition.

    Haroon Degia

    I just received an e-mail from Fatema Degia, Haroon's wife. Haroon Degia of The Dive Shop Barbados passed away suddenly on April 12th, of a heart attack. I know that any of you who had the pleasure of diving with Haroon will feel a real loss. He was a wonderful man. Fatema is going to keep...

    Spinoff: During a dive, does your mask leak at all?

    All of my masks (and I have many) leak to some extent. I keep trying. My current favorite is the ScubaPro ClearVue, it appears to be well-designed for a small face.

    Under water welding

    I am not an underwater welder; however, I have known a few over the years. Most claim they really enjoyed the career - but it is for young people as it is very physically demanding - SO you are considering this at the right age. The American Welding Society (AWS) has an article that answers...

    Where was your first OW dive?

    All the Pensacola shops used Fort Pickens for OW dives before Hurricane Ivan closed the road (that was in 2004, the road is still not open; rumors are that it will open sometime in 2009). It's not a bad first OW dive, but certainly not worth a boat trip. A couple of months after those dives...

    Scuba Gear and Travel

    I've been to all three (and several other locations) and would say - take all your own gear to Roatan. You'll be diving a lot -- and the diving is very nice. As noted in another post, there really isn't much else to do on Roatan. A week stay there is just right. Thailand - WOW, what a...

    Planning an "exotic destination" dive trip

    Sunset House, Grand Cayman is great for quick trips. From the East Coast (we travel through Charlotte, NC) you can get there by early afternoon. We usually do a couple of shore dives (and the shore diving at Sunset House is quite good) right after we arrive. Then for the rest of the stay we...

    Andrea Coyle

    A few years ago when my husband and I were more active local divers, we spent many weekends diving with Andi and other members of the Barracuda Dive Club. We went to Cozumel in the same group a couple of times, were buddies from time to time, and spent many hours of surface interval together...
