    Grand Bahama here we come!

    We just got back yesterday and used Grand Bahama Scuba with Fred and Melinda all week. They were wonderful!!! We also stayed at the Viva Fortuna. Melinda picked us up every day. They were good with all levels of divers, as we had my husband and I who have about 100 dives, and there were students...

    Weight Watcher activity points for scuba diving?

    Thank you so much for your help. So what I am hearing you say is that it is not the actual movement during diving, but the fact that you have to exert energy to breathe and to warm your body temperature. Am I correct? Also, I don't think that I will be lugging the gear, since I intend to keep it...

    Weight Watcher activity points for scuba diving?

    Hello, I have been on Weight Watchers now for 4 months and have lost 20 pounds (so sloooow!). Anyway, I am going diving in the Bahamas next week and would like to TRY and stick to the points. My question is this: Does it sound correct that 30 minutes of diving is equal to 5 activity points...

    Does the 1030SW support the Sea and Sea YS-90DX strobe?

    We are considering purchasing the 1030 SW along with the housing, and wanted to know if the YS-90 DX strobe that we already own will be compatible? Thank you!

    What makes a Diver?

    I cannot agree with you more. It was difficult for me to learn how to dive, too. I actually failed my first ocean dive for my OW, and had to do it again the next weekend. I did not get my AOW until about 60 dives, and now I am around 80 something dives. Unfortunately, I am only a vacation...

    List of basic gear for a diving noob

    I must admit that I love anti-fog, particularly the Sea Gold spray. I just don't like spitting that much (am very girly). My husband doesn't mind spitting into his mask, but still believes that the anti-fog works better. Our spit must not have those anti-fog ingredients.

    Second pool session, thinking of quitting

    This was a huge problem for me as well. I echo what the others have said. Lay in the bathtub and do it, put your face in the sink and do it, fill your mask up with water and breathe. Scuba is amazing. It is worth giving it all that you've got. After you have given it a good hard try and you...

    Dolphin Dive in Grand Bahama worth money?

    Yes, the manta dive was absolutely breathtaking. On one dive we have about 11, but on our next dive we had only 1. The one with 11 was amazing. The youtube video showed only one dolphin on the dive. I wonder if that is the norm?

    Dolphin Dive in Grand Bahama worth money?

    Hello, My husband and I will be in Grand Bahama over Thanksgiving. I am wondering if the dolphin dive is worth the 200 dollars per person. I saw a video of it on youtube, and it did look very cool. I do realize that the dolphin follows you out to the ocean and that it is not a natural...

    Flamingo Bay or Viva Fortuna in Freeport?

    Well, it looks like it is going to be Viva Fortuna for us. We kept asking the restaurant across the street from the Flamingo to fax the menu, and they didn't. When we went to reserve it through RCI(timeshare), it was already taken. So I hope that the Fortuna is okay! Well, we are going for the...

    Ruptured Ear Drum Questions

    My ear ruptured while diving in Cozumel. I had to go see a doctor while there, and let me tell you, I would definitely rather seek medical care in the Keys. I was miserable and the care was what you would expect of a place like Mexico. My ears were in such pain, and knowing that the medical help...

    Flamingo Bay or Viva Fortuna in Freeport?

    We are feeling that we should choose the Flamingo because I have read better things about it. Did you eat out at every meal, and was that hard to do because all of the restaurants were in Port Lucaya?

    Flamingo Bay or Viva Fortuna in Freeport?

    :confused: My husband and I have been researching this question for about 3 days straight and are not finding the answers we are looking for and are getting frustrated! We only have these two choices because we are using my husband's father's timeshare. From the reviews on here and...
