Great report, thanks. My wife and sister and I are heading to FI in early June...I will make sure to bring my camera in my carry-on.

Deb and I had two wonderful dives yesterday Andy. We were the only divers on the ramp with air temps near 80. As you say, the viz is superb and the water is getting warmer every day. We got into a very large school of bass fry and followed them about for a while--flashing in the bright sun...

Hi Brian, I'm sure y'all will have a great time. My wife and I are going in June and I can't wait! There are lockboxes you can use in a little room just off the lobby--i think its like $10 deposit on the key, which you get back when you turn it in. Doug

Thanks for the update. I can't stand it, hehe, my wife and I are heading back to FI in June--92 days *sigh*. What boat were ya on?

Well said. And thank you. My wife and I were in Roatan last year during the coup and we felt perfectly safe and had an absolute blast. We will be going back in June. Frankly, if I could afford it, I'd move there in a hearbeat.

"Yep, that's one of the things I've emailed to everyone on my group about who to tip. Those guys do a great job! Ahhh, another excellent service provided by Nick. Sad to see him disconnect from FI. It was nice to get such quick responses from him when I had questions pre-trip. I wonder if I...

I'm not aware of any, and I have looked for something similar. I want a blackberry storm that is waterproof to 100m and functions as a dive computer when wet. Wouldn't need to worry about disturbances under water because the signal won't get to ya. But it would be kind of nice to have a...

Agreed Andy, Deb and I had 4 great dives this weekend. The vis is just amazing compared to what we were diving in a few months ago--and that catfish today was special. Debby says it wanted to come home with you 8-). Thanks everyone for a good weekend.

Hi, I have an Aeris Epic wireless computer. When I upload my profile to the computer every once in a while a small portion of my ascent will show red. But I can usually correlate that to some incident during the dive where I may indeed have ascended a few feet too rapidly. Cheers, Doug

Hey Tom, What were the symptoms of your Aladin issue? My wife's is acting up a bit. It will go into some sort of funky mode seemingly at random. I does seem to work properly when she's diving but the log will miss a dive every once in a while. We both have MK25/s600 sets and love them...but...

Hi Slackware, My open water certification is with SSI and my Advanced and Nitrox certs are with PADI. The one difference, in my opinion, is that PADI's tables are easier to learn and use. I've been fortunate in that both SSI and PADI instructors have been top-notch. Doug

Martha, thank you so much for this! It's perfect timing. My wife and I are leaving with a group tomorrow morning for FIBR. It's our first dive trip, and your report has succeeded in upping my excitement level even more than it was when I got up this morning...I've got a feeling I'm not gonna...

I just woke up and saw there has been an earthquake very near Roatan. I've got a trip coming up in three weeks and was wondering if anyone down there could provide a situation report. Is the airport ok? Any of the reefs have any damage? Thanks in advance for any information. Doug

Agreed knotical. As I was reading this I was thinking *** are we talking about here. It apparantly only relates to California so I decided not to waste my time googling it. However it would be nice to have just a brief description of what the heck AB 643 is. I also question if this kind of...

I'm going to purchase a mask with perscription lenses. Does anyone have any advice on this? I've noticed that JoeDiver.com sells the entire mask for about $100. At my LDS they showed me a mask with what looked like regular eyeglass lenses glued to the inside of the mask. Is there any...

Hi Stormingheaven, I was just there on a cruise a couple of weeks ago. Did Cayman, Cozumel, Belize, and Roatan. All were wonderful (my first reef dives ever), but Roatan was the best. The told us that all the other reefs had had some recent hurricane damage but not Roatan. It was almost a...

Howdy, I'm brand new too (October 2008). I've had similar problems, although I've made a couple of new friends. I'm in South Carolina, and I'm hoping as the weather warms up these guys will dive in our lake and the Savanna river every weekend. Also, and best of all, my wife has decided to...

Now that's kinda silly. I think your point is that one might need a second party to help find the leak--which is a good point. Now suppose the OP reads your message and gets a buddy to check is mask. Where did he get the idea? The internet, no? So in my opinion the internet can indeed help...

I'm so glad many of you have pointed out that pride is not a positive thing. Nationalistic as well as individual pride is at a minimum counterproductive and at worst destructive. But if the OP means what is more important in my life, I would say diving. I'm a noob, but after my recent trip to...

Hi, A friend just gave me a wetsuit. It consists of a 6mm shorty and a 6mm farmer-john. My question is what order should these go on, and does it matter? I tried them on last night with the shorty going over the top of the fj. But it seems like the inverse might work too. I'm looking...
