The Epcot dive sounds interesting. It doesn't sound like they run it on Sunday's though. I'm not sure I feel like all the way to some of the other suggestions either, so I think I may save the diving for a later Florida vacation and just visit the Kennedy Space Center. I think it's been over...

Just arrived in Jacksonville today after a cruise, and will be driving to Orlando once we disembark. I have a full day in Orlando. Most likely planning on driving to Cape Canaveral but was curious if there was anywhere interesting to dive in the Orlando area. No buddy or gear so I'd need a...

Dive. I haven't dove regularly in several years, probably since 2009. Had a good dive about a week ago, but before that it was probably at least 2 years since I was in the water, if not more. It's time to make this an active hobby again!

Well ****... I've been away from ScubaBoard, and diving in general, for several years, but I was a new diver around the same time Lynne was. I remember reading her blog posts about her open water classes, and thoroughly enjoyed them. They were funny and inspiring. I finally was back in the...

Looks like St. Kitts will be where I dive. DW booked a speedboat and beach/snorkel excursion in St. Lucia. Sent a message to Pro Divers St. Kitts to see about booking as a single diver.

Hi all! I will be on a cruise in April on the Carnival Elation. 10 days in the Southern Caribbean. The ports are: Start in San Juan, Barbados, Granada, Trinidad & Tobago, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, St. Thomas, and ending in Jacksonville. The ship offers 4 diving shore excursions: A shore dive at Coki...

Thanks, I just downloaded that and will give it a shot.

Hey all, I have some video that a friend of mine took in Mexico with his SeaLife camera, in the .asf format. I have a Mac and am having problems finding a program that will let me import the video into iMovie, or convert it to a format that I can use with iMovie. I have the VLC viewer which...

I was just down in Cozumel and the Riviera Maya. My favorite dives in Coz were Palancar Bricks and Columbia Deep, with the fantastic coral heads, a eagle ray sighting, turtles... we did The Devil's Throat too, which was cool as well. Then I went to the mainland, and did 2 dives at Dos Ojos...

That is a strange time to stop, for sure. I wonder if they're doing it just so they have docked at a foreign port to satisfy some strange maritive law? Everything will be closed at that time... unless you do find a dive operator willing to take you out, I'd just stay on the ship and sleep!

I was just down in the Riviera Maya and made 2 dives in Dos Ojos, and it really was an amazing experience. We did both sides, and for a lot of the dive, especially the 2nd one where we visited the Bat Cavern, it does feel like you're waaay back in the cave. I would highly recommend it to...

I think I'll start off with some of Giles's suggestions and start working on some line drills. I have a reel, though I can't remember how long the line is, that I'll start working on line laying drills with. I bought it, but never really carry it around unless I'm diving from a boat which...

I'm on my last day of a wonderful two week vacation down in the Mexican Caribbean. Spent a great week in Cozumel where I did 10 dives with Aldora, and am just finishing up the 2nd week on Half Moon Bay in Akumal. While here, I did 2 cavern dives with shop I was hooked up with by a friend...

Just a quick update, as I've now been in Coz for 5 days now, 4 days of diving so far, 1 left :( It's been terrific. Did Devil's Throat for the first dive today, then Paso de Cedral for the 2nd. Current wasn't much on Punta Sur, maybe moderate on Cedral? The first day's current on the site we...

Finally made it to Coz!! I'll be here through the 3rd, leaving the 4th. I mentioned this in the December thread but since I'm here for January too, I'll post here. Staying at Residencias Reef, and man is it nice! Three bedrooms, a patio with table and couches right on the beach, ground...

Get into Coz late in the evening. We're flying into Cancun around 2 this afternoon, then taking the bus to Playa for the ferry. Good places to eat in Playa or Coz?

Taking off for Cozumel today, landing tomorrow. Woo hoo!

I think I agree with pretty much everyone else here... to me, a wreck where people have died is no different from an historical battlefield. Thousands of people every year visit Gettysburg or Normandy or any number of other similar sites and are able to remain respectful, and there's no reason...

I'm there for New Years as well. I have a dive lined up new years morning, so I guess I won't be able to get trashed on tequila! :( ;)

I definitely plan on picking this up soon. Brad Matsen was actually just in town a month or so ago, giving a talk on the book at the local library. Unfortunately I missed it, as I'm sure it was really interesting. It would have been nice to come away with a signed copy! I had been out diving...
