    Introductions - Dive Buds - Best of both threads

    If he were looking to get an OW certification, I would agree that he should find an instructor that fits for him but I'm not sure that advice exactly fits this situation. As I understand it, he's already a happy PADI diver, wants to complete a PADI Instructor program where is currently lives...

    Introductions - Dive Buds - Best of both threads

    My experience is not with PADI so I can't really recommend anyone to you on that front. In my experience, most shops in this area deal mainly with other training agencies but there are a few PADI dive shops in the area. That shouldn't discourage you from pursuing a PADI instructor level training...

    Introductions - Dive Buds - Best of both threads

    Tough pickle, if you're moving I'd almost urge you you to wait until AFTER you get settled and then train with a local dive shop here so you can become integrated in to their program. The Tampa Bay area is pretty large so maybe letting us know more specifically where you're moving and people...

    OMS Comfort Harness System II , 45lb Bladder, Aluminium Back Plate L/XL (TAMPA)

    For sale, a very lightly used and well kept OMS Comfort Harness System II BC. I bought it new in 2008 and used it for about 20 dives before the shop I was dive mastering for went all "YOU HAVE TO WEAR WHAT WE SELL" on everyone so I haven't used this much since then. In all it's in great shape...

    WTB Scubapro Seawing Nova XL Orange Fins

    I ended up buying them from a European site (Online dive shop, buy online diving, snorkeling & swimming equipment). The catch is they can't ship to the USA, it's a Scubapro restriction. I used Borderlinx to handle the purchasing / shipping, they buy it on your behalf and have it shipped to their...

    Shore diving in Tampa bay

The dive spot provides easy access to some inexpensive diving when you either want to get wet or want to take some...

    Any Nucanoe Frontier owners?

    I've been wanting a kayak for a few years now. My wife and I enjoy doing a lot of things together so I have been leaning towards a convertible kayak that will do tandem or solo as that will allow me to go out with my wife and also just myself. We were at the Tampa Boat Show this year and came...
