    Grand Turk -vs Caicos for Family

    Thanks for the replies. I looked at Salt Cay and I would be worried that there is very little to do there. And yes, by the west end I meant Provodenciales. The Beaches resort looks like a good choice. I'll look into that one more. We need other activities, especially if my kids do not get...

    What are these guys?

    Sorry folks....I haven't logged on in a few few days. That pic was extracted from a video I made. We were diving with Underwater Explorers off Boynton Beach, FL. I'll see if I can recall the site. The dive was a twilight dive that we did prior to a night dive a bit later that night.

    Wet Suit Thickness for West Palm Beach in late December

    OK, I'm down here in West Palm Beach for new years and plan to dive once or twice. I do not get cold easily so I'm wondering what wetsuit to wear. I have a 3mm and a 7mm. I am guessing that I will be going to 70 to 90 feet. Anyone have any recommendations for me? Thanks!

    Do I Need AOW to Travel?

    How do I search by exact phrase?

    OK, I understand that vBulletin uses quotes to define a phrase to search for. However, I want to search the Tanks forum for the brand: XS Scuba. So I go into that forum and click to do a forum search. I enter (with the quotes) "XS Scuba". I get back all threads that have the word Scuba...

    Dive Duck Key/Hawks Cay resort

    I stayed at Tranquility Bay (just a short drive away). We visited Hawks Cay Resort one day. Hawks Cay looked VERY nice....but it was a very busy resort as well. It is big with lots to do. We chose Tranquility Bay because we wanted something quieter. For our needs we would go back to...

    tips for getting ready for my OW course?

    You've received some excellent suggestions so far. I'm going to offer some in a slightly different direction. Your diving certification is kind of like getting your drivers license. You are just beginning. After 35 years of driving I am MUCH better now than when I was 16. I've only been...

    How Much Consideration Goes Into Your Choice of PADI/NAUI/SSI etc. for New Divers?

    What ^ he said. When I got certified my choices were limited (being inland). There were several dive shops relatively nearby but only one with their own pool. The others rented pool time from nearby swim centers. Having practically unlimited pool access was important to me....more so than...

    Need to find most experienced instructor in West Palm or Boca for PADI's OW Checkout

    My vote would be: Kevin at Underwater Explorers, Inc www.DiveBoyntonBeach.com He is over in Boynton Beach but that's not too far away. When I go down to South FL, I stay in Riviera Beach with my buddy's family. We love to dive the Blue Heron Bridge...a nice, easy shallow shore...
