Milwaukee. Do you do a lot of diving up in the Green Bay area? Thanks, Red Rover

I had my next dive vacation down to two areas: Bonaire or Thailand (Similian Islands for a liveaboard). Now, with all the great reports on Curacao, I am forced to reconsider! Time to research Curacao! :) Thanks for all the great info. Thanks, Red Rover

End of March, its going to either be Bonnaire or the Similian Islands. Leaning towards the Similians. Thanks, Red Rover

Here are my suggestions: 1) Get in good shape 2) stay relaxed. Learn to move slow, enjoy the dive and to just plain relax when underwater. 3) If you ever feel a little winded, slow down and relax. If your buddy is moving to fast. Tell him/her to slow down so you can relax. Relax, relax...

If you want to build strong lungs and increase your breath holding abilities, then run a lot and work the lungs. High impact sprints work great. Thanks, Red Rover

I have no evidence other than what worked for me when I swam for UW Wisconsin Madison. However, our team NUTRITIONIST and our team DOCTOR were the ones who gave us this advice, which incidently, worked like a charm. :) Oddly enough, I asked another athlete (he runs triathalons) what he took...

I feel that anyone who doubts their abilities to dive solo, should not be diving. That doesn't mean they will dive solo, but they should have every reason to trust that they and their equipment are up to it. Afterall, if your buddy is in trouble, you need to be better than just a solo diver...

I do the same thing! I love burning off excess air at 15ft., especially if there are other divers in the water. It gives me a chance to watch them, observe for safety, check out marine life, gas off, work on bouyancy, work on breathing, check my compass for bearing (especially if we are diving...

Clive, You are correct about Bull Sharks off the coast of Africa. They are there. In fact, I think they account for more attacks on swimmers/surfers/"sea going humans" than any other shark in the area, including the Great White. If you want to see aggresive Bull sharks, dive off the coast...

Here is an article that might help you: http://www.asiandiver.com/themagazine/thailand/koh_tao.html Oddly, I am wearing my Sea World Dive Team T-shirt at this very moment! :) I love it! Its held up through 5 liveaboards and still going strong! I hope that article helps you out and good...

I wish I could help you but I don't know of any either. However, a thought just occured to me.... Start one! Thanks, Red Rover

In the spirit of Christmas, what about a trip to Christmas Island! :) I couldn't think of a better way to kep the holiday spirits alive! Red Rover

Muscle cramps are caused by the lack of potasium present in your muscle tissue. Eat bananas or take a potasium suppliment. I was a swimmer in college and once I started a high potasium diet, I never experienced another cramp! And I was a distance swimmer!:) Bananas, Bananas, Bananas and...

Glad to hear you had a great time! Which sites did you hit? How many days were you there? What boat were you on? Would you go again? I would love to hear some details so I can compare it to my trips there! (3 so far!) Thanks, RedRover

They are good organization. I dove with them several times and had no problems at all. Make sure you hit King Cruiser Wreck and Shark Point. RedRover

Please tell us more! Any night dives? What sites did you get to? How was the plane ride in? What sort of nightlife? More, more, more....:) Thanks, RedRover
