    Wet suits - Key Largo in Mid October

    Call the Dive Ops you are diving with in Largo area, speak to a rep about the water temp, and judge from there. A 3mm full suit should be suitable. Enjoy your trip.;)

    First drift dive with Jupiter Dive Center

    Before your next trip, to help ease the sea sickness try eating ginger tablets and or real ginger with your meal before diving. By far, JDC rocks for east coast Florida diving. Been there many times, plan on heading back Sep to Nov 2011. Winter diving there is off the freaking hook.

    Catalina dive companies

    Scuba Luv got my vote hands down. The Owners offer three tank dives, continental breakfast and great lunches on board after the second dives. The diving is off the freakin chain. Dive safe and enjoy Avalon, Catalina.

    When swimming around the streets of the entire Tampa Bay Area. To date, have not dispatched any land sharks or thugs. My 7 1/2 Ruger Red Hawk sticks out.:mooner: In the waters, I carry a really good knife, that knife has proven a valuable tool in cutting fishing line tangles. My video camera...

    Philippines Atlantis Dive Resort October 2011

    KT, I completed this trip - with friends - in 2005, had a blast. The highlight naturally was the short ride boat diving, Verde Island and the right off shore dives to the large wreck sitting in 120ft of water, the deck is at 60. My first encounters videoing sea snakes too, way cool. Need I...

    California

    Avalon, Catalina HAS MY vote for great, cold water, kelp diving. Catalina Scuba Luv offers three tank dives, serving continental breakfast and lunch on a all day charter. Diving aboard the Spectre out of Ventura, Ca is a treat as well, again, cold water, kelp diving. We are talking great...
