My niece is at school in Edinburgh and, while my first choice would be for her to train at one of the dive shops I know here (Canada) or in the states, she is really keen on getting her credentials before a planned trip in June to Africa. Does anyone have suggestions of a dive shop they would...

En route to LA and then on to Taveuni. Any news on Cyclone Pam?

Heading to Mozambique (Benguerra, one of the Bazaruto archipelago islands) shortly for part of a multi purpose vacation. Will be diving 3 days. Water looks on the cool side of warm this time of year 75-80. Only allowed 20kg for ALL luggage. Since my usual tropical dive kit with all...

Great post. We were actually there at the same time although we kept the sat to sat itinerary despite the flight delay. Spent the day in Miami before returning to the airport. We stayed at the Belmar. Great trip although Insel lost a bag on the way back which is apparently en route to me...

Bought a refurb from scubatoys just before coming down to Bonaire for the week where I am now. Seemed to be working great until last night I noticed the no fly was set to 12hrs for non repetitive diving even though I have been diving twice a day with typical 50min - 1hr10min intervals that day...

Not sure this is the right spot - at least I hope if this is a "disability" it is a temporary one. I injured my shoulder in the spring in a bike accident, went to GP, went to physio, got xrays and ultrasound, waiting for appointment with shoulder specialist in November (yes, I am Canadian)...

I have a Henderson Hyperstretch 3mm Junior suit. Fits great in the arms and legs and stretchy enough to forgive the fact that I am no longer ahem a junior. Mel

You are flying through Toronto then? I'll be one of the 43 people (30~) divers coming down from a GTA dive shop organized trip. It's not my dive shop though so I don't know anyone as yet. Timing and location was right and I couldn't wait until January for my usual dive shop to get me...

A friend of mine did hers with Pura Vida divers in West Palm Beach last year and I thought they did a good job of it plus the diving there was amazing. Mel

Thanks for responding and clarifying my post. This is indeed what I meant. I followed the hurricane closely after (and during) my return home and was well aware that ultimately (and thankfully) a non issue insofar as any damage was concerned. There was, however, a mandatory evacuation on the...

If anyone who was at FI is reading this post send me a note. I wanted to check that everyone else got evacuated and home safely. Mel

Headed to Roatan in three days. Thanks to your pics I'll know what to look for. Mel

Have you considered Vancouver Island? Not sure in BC where you are located but the diving there is supposed to be great. Mel

I was about to comment that they both had the same lift 30lbs but I see from the website that the Venture just got a boost to 45lbs. Mel

How small is small? The hoods are designed to fit more like an open faced balaclava/ski mask exposing as little skin as possible. Practically for those who may not dress regularly for temperatures in the great white north this means over the chin, a finger or two above the eyebrows and three...

As much as I'm a Scubatoys supporter I have to point out that the ad bar on the main forums page is preventing the drop down search feature from coming to front.

If you get at all seasick you will want to wear it outside your wetsuit. That thing has got to come off fast. Sadly from personal experience the first time I wore it. Mel

I was there early October of last year. I used Unisub as well and the boat and the divemaster were good. Not sure I can give a ringing endorsement to the rental gear but I may have just gotten a bad lot since my dive buddy didn't have any problems. The town is small and easily walkable but...

I third the travel wing. Same lift but more compact. Mel
