Coast Guard for 8 years now and loving it....:D

Hello, My husband and I are thinking about going to Oahu. Does anyone have a good dive shop they have used in the past? Also, how is the diving and any favorite dive spots. Currents? Visibility? Things we should know before we go? My husband and I are certified open water divers with...

I wish I could make. I am in the military also and it's great that you guys are helping out my fellow soilders and sailors. You guys are doing a great thing. I wish you all the best and have lots of fun.

Thanks. My husband and I were thinking about that. Take a long weekend and head to FL. I have hear diving is great there. Any suggestions on some fun spots?

Robint, I loved it so much that my husband and I are planning another trip in November. It was amazing and yes...you guys were right!!! Have a great time in the Bahamas! Ally:)

Congrats. I just got back from the Bahamas where I completed my check-out dives also. It was great. I am now addicted just like you!!

Hello Everyone, I wanted to post and say Thanks for all the great advice and that it really helped. My husband and I both are now certified divers. Nassau was beautiful and warm. The first time in the ocean was scary and I was not sure if I could do it but my instructor (he was great)...

You guys are going to get tired of me asking questions but you are all so nice and full of great knowledge. As some you may know I had some problems in the pool which caused me to be scared of diving (read my old post) and the whole mask being off or flooded. I went to the pool last night...

Find a new dive shop. I may be new but the dive shops I checked out/interview encouraged us to bring our own gear if we had it. In fact people are at the pool all the time with their own gear.

Thanks to everyone. I go to the pool because right now I know I am not ready. I know that I have the tendancy to panic but I am learning!!! I have a few more pool sessions and each time I become less scared and better at the skills. I guess I am one of those people that just needs a little...

Can anyone tell me what to expect during my check out dives? Also, I had a bad experience not to long ago in the pool and now I am somewhat scared to dive ( I go the the pool each week to pratice). How safe do you think diving is and how often do accidents happen like your mask comes off...

Just an update... I spoke with the owner and with the head instructor. Each agree this was improper. If I had been under 50ft of water I most likely would have drown because I had no idea what he was doing. If I had know things might have been different. With this experience fresh in my...

Thanks for the advice. Just to clear up some of the questions... The gear used has been used many times before and not the best quality. I am a small person and most of the time the regulator fit but not this time. It was heavier than I was use to. The instructor and helper did know that...

Thanks for your kind words.

Thank you so much for the advice. My original instructor was so nice and I trusted that he would help anyway he could. Again, Thanks.

I am new to diving as in not even certified yet. My husband and I are going to Nassau in March to complete our cert dives. It has been about a month since my last pool session so I decided to go to the pool with the current class to pratice so I will not forget anything. I planned on doing...
