Dived with Stuart Cove for 4 days a couple of years ago. While the whole set up was a little too commercial for our liking, it was impossible to critisice them for anything else. The boats were spotless, the crews friendly and the guides excellent. The shark feeding trip was over-rated but...

Further to what was said above, different people can panic in different situations. I used to be a military driving instructor and I've had highly experienced Royal Marines, with extensive combat experience, on the verge of tears at the thought of driving on the road for the first time. My wife...

I've dived a few times in Teneriffe and found the viz and fish life pretty good. I can only remember the name of one of the centres, which was Los Gigantes Dive Centre in (youv'e guessed it) Los Gigantes. I've stayed in the town quite a few times and it's quiet enough to be relaxing, but not in...

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. Our travel dates were a bit confused with one of us in Egypt for 2 weeks and one for 1, travelling out of synch with the other. This messed up our diving plans allowing for 24 hours before flying etc so we decided to just stick with daily dives. We wanted to...

My girlfriend and I have just returned from our first trip to the Red Sea and we had such a great time with the diving centre we used that we felt it was only fair to give a big thank you to them on Scubaboard. We chose to use them after looking at lots of websites and taking suggestions from...

Thanks to everyone who gave us info and tips for the trip. We've just got back and had a great time. In the end we dived with Twins Diving Centre who were great and couldn't be more helpfull. I'll be posting something about them over the next few days.

Thanks, I'll send you a mail in a short while. Thanks also to Tamas, I've checked out the site and they're on my list of people to talk to.

I'm reading this with my Portuguese girlfriend looking over my shoulder, laughing that all these people can never have dived in Portugal after lunch! I don't drink and she drinks very rarely, but if you aren't impaired then what's the harm? Can't wait to get slated for this posting!

My girlfriend and I will be in Hurghada over Christmas and New-Year. We are both reasonably experienced divers, her more than me, and are looking to find a dive centre or centres to use. Boat diving plus trips to the Thistlegorm and Salem Express (yes, I know it's controversial). So far, the...

Dont know what magazines are avaliable in Spain, but the UK mags Diver and PADI Sport Diver often have ads for divers to help with research projects and scientific studies. Ive always fancied trying them - anyone out there done one? Good luck on your travels

Most divers will use decongestants at some time or other. Other than the risk of a reverse block if they wear off, you need to be carefull of the ingrediants if you are diving on enriched air - there is some evidence of increasing your likelyhood of oxygen toxicity problems. Good luck -...
