    Roatan Shark Dive

    Perhaps you should call Dr Schwartzenheimer at 555-555-1234. I believe he will help you fight through these suicidal tendencies.

    Roatan Shark Dive

    Ok, so tell me, who out there does not want to be in a cage and watch a Great White swim by? Is that a feed? I would guess they chum and throw out a hunk of tuna, does that qualify as a feed? Do the men-in-the-grey-suits have to rip through the cage and eat a diver to really be a shark feed...

    Proper Weighting

    Man, you got that right. Now, that I have some 400+ dives, I look back at my first posts and think, geez, a beginner is one thing, but I was downright awful by any standards. I am fatter now, (and anyone quotes that I will vehemently deny it and call my lawyer for a libel claim) and use 8...

    Roatan Shark Dive

    As I stated, I do not know what Blackbeard's new shark dive will be like but as for the old one done at Bull Run when they sailed out of Freeport, we swam with the sharks before and after the feed. Some were so close that I had to suck in and arch my back so the fin or tail would not swipe me...

    diving without buddy

    the fact is, most divers are not good divers. solo diving is not a good idea because of the many things that can go wrong. Add in other factors such lack of skill, lack of proper experience and/or training, and the recipe for disaster is prime. Last month I did my first solo dive. I was in...

    Advice on Moving to Roatan

    As I stated, I sold my business and am selling my house (here in the states). I plan on selling my car too and using the money I get for my car to pay for a new car once in Roatan. I may have to add in a thousand or so but my car is new and I do not plan on replacing it with the same type of...

    Roatan Shark Dive

    I did the dive about 3 years ago, I thought it sucked. Put some chum in a bucket with holes in it -- yank it around on a rope for about 5 minutes - then remove the cover and watch the sharks eat for 2 minutes. what a joke. Try Blackbeard's in the Bahamas, I did that 3 times, last time was...

    HEY! when was this dive trip in Key Largo? May, by any chance? I think I was on the boat with this guy. I "talked" to the guy but all I got was a bad attitude and the stupid statement, "we all make our mark". I just walked off thinking nothing is going to change this guy unless, as you...

    PLEASE let's keep politics out of this. Global warming may be a fact but the promotion by liberal groups and politicians has an agenda that has nothing to do with protecting the environment. MANY, many scientists have dismissed global warming but funny how they get no press because it does not...

    Reef Killers

    Geez, apparently I gave the wrong impression. First, I will dive with anyone, I certainly do not require a level of experience or skill before you can dive with me. Second, I feel EXTREMELY fortunate that when I my son got certified, I got a (pretty much) permanent dive buddy. Third, trust me...

    Reef Killers

    To be a good diver (not great, but just good) all it takes is a LOT of diving and focus on learning the basic skills. Basic skills, you know, like buoyancy, gas consumption, mastering the basic kicks. Unfortunately, VERY few people are actually good divers. Time and again I see divers who...

    Any recommendations for the Caribbean for a week starting Sunday July 12?

    Bonaire would be ideal in that there is very little current and you can make your own dive trip schedule. Most dive sites are easy to find, teaming with wildlife, hard and soft coral and a perfect dive location for beginner divers. I "believe" there are flights in and out on Saturday and...

    Diving on Koh Phi Phi?

    ok, here is the bonus question. Can two divers spend two weeks doing about 15-18 dives per week and include, meals, lodging, entertainment, etc for around $5000 not including airfare?

    Going for 2 weeks in June, any ideas?

    My son will graduate from college in May. He has decided to put off law school for a while and instead spend a year in Thailand. To help him pass the time, he plans on enrolling in one of the diving schools there to become certified as a DM and possibly instructor, although he does not intend...
