So......is that good or bad? I was considering booking with them as Indigo does not offer afternoon dives.

I don't think your daughter is old enough for the Westin Kids Camp. (think they have to be 5) We will be staying at the Westin in July with our 13 month old son. I am considering taking him to Smyles daycare for the few hours we will be diving. Or hiring a private babysitter through the...

Wow...I had a totally different experience on my 2 trips to Roatan. On my first visit I stayed on West Bay Beach and as I said the nice beach was overrun with cruise ship passengers. Granted - it was only 1 day out of the week, but that one day was awful. At Anthony's Key I guess maybe...

Oh and about the cruise ship pod people - if you stay at AKR you won't be bothered by that at all. When we were in Roatan a few years ago we stayed on West Bay Beach and one day during the week (don't remember which day and it's probably more than 1 day now) the beautiful beach was totally...

We were there in May 2006 and LOVED it! I would go back in a heartbeat IF they wouldn't have raised their rates so much. We were in a Key Superior room and it was wonderful. I think I would definitely pay extra for the air conditioning hillside or key. I don't know anything about the...

I have to remove myself from the September SBers list. We were supposed to come down Sept 16-23 - I am VERY disappointed. But there is a reason.... Just found out I'm pregnant. Yikes! Wasn't expecting that! I'm 38 and a bit nervous as this will be my first. I'm due in early April so I...

Will be staying at the Melia Sept 16-23. I am going to look up this Blue XT Sea place. We are having a hard time finding a dive shop that is convenient to the Melia. We were also going to do the AI, but the OP said they are dining in town. ???? I was under the impression that the Melia...

I don't exactly know what happened to the 2 who ran out of air. I wasn't there....I heard everything second hand. When I saw them after that dive all they told me was "We screwed up, so we are sitting out the next dive." I don't know at what point their air became critical, but I am...

Several people have posted about eating at Argentinian Grill in West End. We ate there 2 years ago and LOVED it. I was in West End on Friday and the restaurant is gone. I was so disappointed! Unless I am crazy. We walked up and down the street 3 times looking for it. The place where I...

Thought I would bring this subject back to the front! I started it after all. I just wanted to report back after my trip. Roatan was great! Dives were awesome. Groupers and eels and dolphins - oh my! Oh and that depth thing? Whatever. Why do I worry so much? I did the Aguila wreck...

I have a purge valve on my mask and there is usually a bit of water trickling in there. It tickles and bothers me sometimes, but I blow out my nose quite a bit to clear it out. If you do not have a purge valve in your mask, of course you can't blow the water out. You might want to try out a...

I do have a digital camera, but it is not that great (Sony DSC-P8....only 3.2 megapixels) and I did not want to invest alot of $$ in the U/W housing for it. I would rather invest the money in a good U/W digital camera. I just haven't been able to make that investment yet. :( We have a new...

Weight Watchers. Absolutely. Positively. 100% That is the only safe , sane way to do it. I lost 45 pounds last year with WW. You should definitely exercise, but I will be honest.....I lost that 45 pounds with virtually no exercise. But I am not recommending that! Exercise is good...

Thank you!

Someday I hope to be able to invest in a good U/W digital camera, but for now I have a SharkDiver cheapy film camera (about $40) that goes to 80ft. It doesn't take beautiful vibrant pictures, but my husband and I are new divers and mainly like to have pictures of each other underwater and a few...

Diveral- It's a 20 foot Wellcraft. :) Well last night hubby and I went to practice in the pool at our LDS. This was the first time I have used SCUBA in a pool. Very interesting. No fish down there! Anyway - we practiced some skills and buoyancy and got comfortable with the...

I dove with Tank-Ha last August. They run a great operation! Not sure if any of the same instructors and DM's are there...but Andy, Alessandro and Arjan are all awesome. They will take good care of you. And Desiree is great too...very helpful. We dove Tortugas and it was AWESOME. So many...

Sorry to bring up skiing on a diving forum! Just another expensive hobby of mine. (we won't talk about the boat.) And I would not use the excuse "that PADI says" as the reason for not doing something. And now I wish I would not have even quoted the PADI book in my original message! But I...

Funny you should mention that about skiing. We usually only get to ski one time per year. Just like diving.....1 time per year. And we have been skiing for about 5 years and I just this past February, started going on blues. Maybe I really am a wimpy overly cautious person. :05: If so...
