I'll be in Curacao in February, and was looking for some advice for shore diving. I'll be a solo diver, and was hoping to find partners to buddy up with. Is that best handled through a dive shop? I'll be staying at the Marriott Feb 15th-24th if anyone would like to meet up. Any suggestions...

Hey all, Looking at different dates for a tour of Egypt. The last leg of the journey will probably end up in Sharm el-Sheikh... prices are pretty cheap in Decemeber for the trip, but the weather seems pretty chilly then. Is December a bad month for hanging out and catching rays on the...

We dove w/ Cypress Sea on Sunday. Conditions were not the best, and yes we were in the bay... but hey, we got wet, and played with some seals. Vis was around 25 feet. Swells were 6-8 feet in the bay. Hence, why we didn't leave the bay. Stayed at Lone Oak Lodge which was quaint and pleasant...

See ya there dude... It'd be great to meet you -- you're the northcoast diver guy right? I'm looking for people to show me the ropes of the north coast. No worries about having a buddy---either match up on the boat or you can chill with us. -Nate p.s. My buddy will be Eric.

My buddy and I will be on this boat... if any one else plans on going, see ya there! Nate

I have a 3/5 which is way more comfortable... Which is I guess what you're saying... I've also rented the 7mm farmer johns. The farmer john I don't remember feeling as tight, but I also don't keep the jacket on very long. I put it on, and jump in the water. I'm gonna try on the suit one more...

Hey y'all... my LDS just had a killer deal on a 7mm Type-J wetsuit, so I decided to buy it for some Nor Cal diving. They had one size left, so I tried it on in the shop, and it was definitely form fitting, but didn't feel tooooo restrictive. The guy selling me it said it looked like a great...

...somewhere between Fort Bragg and Point Arena? I'm pretty green, and was wondering if anyone would be out those days to show me around. Nate

Nice! Thanks Andy.

Howdy, We're staying in Manchester in January -- we're looking at some possible dive sites. Point Arena? We're both pretty green, and not totally comfortable picking a shore dive in Nor Cal coast and just going for it... looking at maybe getting a guide. Are there any dive shops out there...

Oops, I meant, Ramons and Ecologic were great. If I could do it again, I would use Amigos Del Mar for the Blue Hole. Btw... Regarding Peter's comment above about Aqua Dive's boat and a mfgr problem. I don't doubt that there might be a possible issue, but when we were on their boat to the...

Do not dive Aqua! There are several freaks in here who like to come to the aid of their reputation.... but I personally dove w/ them to the blue hole in November. The dives were good, but the trip was ruined for us due to the incompetence of this outfit. I posted all about it a month ago in...

Aqua Dives is pathetic. Spend your money elsewhere.

the cdnn story has a picture and caption says this was on cypress charters...

what the..... ok, i have no idea why it replaces **** with the cdnn site, but here's another link i found on news.google.com: http://www.insidebayarea.com/dailyreview/localnews/ci_4610195

What's going on in Monterey?! I just ran across this looking for travel safety information: http://www.**********/news/safety/s061109a.html "SAN MATEO, California (9 Nov 2006) -- Robert Crawford's diving buddy had his back turned for no more than 20 seconds, but in that time, Crawford...

Seriously.... like what does give me the right to bash them, if this trip didn't? Search these forums for Aqua and see what you find... I have been on dive boats, and I'm a recreational boater myself. I am not a USCG captain, but I understand basic boating safety. I was very surprised to...

We just got back 2 days ago. Apparently tourist season is picking up right now. It was actually pretty quiet while we were there. A.C. is fabulous. A little pricey compared to some other latin destinations, but you also don't feel like you're getting ripped off all the time. We will be back...

If you're honestly asking, I expected a sales pitch about why ProTech was a better dive center. To use your example... the difference between the Rolls Royce and Ford. With no input, I felt ProTech was catering to technical divers, hence the added cost. Ecologic had other selling points (e.g...
