Welcome to ScubaBoard!! Greetings from warm and sunny Brazil!! I started a thread about diving in Panama, in the Central America's travel forum, since I'm planning to go next february. Didn't get many replies, but found out some interesting info that you may want to check out... if so, you can...

Welcome to ScubaBoard! Greetings from sunny and warm (just getting really hot here, almost 38º C today in Rio de Janeiro...) Brazil!! Happy holidays for everyone!!!

Hey, Crawl!!! Where do you go diving in Rio? Arraial? Cabo Frio? Buzios? Angra? Did you see the conditions in Arraial last (13/14 dec) weekend? Unbelievable! Almost like Noronha! Even better than when the OP (where is he, BTW ???) came to Brazil!!! Let's dive some day!!!

If it's after carnaval, I think you can count me in!!! Until then, I'll be in a job assignment in Maceió - nice beaches, some good diving spots reported, but it's difficult to find a dive operator there, heard about one at Praia do Francês, so I'll check it out and maybe start a thread about it...

Please, do contact me, whenever you have time to come. As we go really frequently we have good conditions for accomodations in the nearby Pousadas, both in Cabo Frio and Arraial and we have (of course) made friends with some of the best dive shops, so we can arrange for some very interesting and...

Hi, Gene!! Welcome to ScubaBoard!! Greetings from warm and sunny Brazil!!! I'm writing this from a beach in Brazil's northeastern region. The water temp right now is about 27 degrees celsius and air temp is 30 celsius (and it's past 9 pm!!)!!! Daytime water vis averages 30 meters and it's...

Hi, acqua girl! (And hi again, Steve....!!!) The OP, Steve, has been diving in Cabo Frio, Arraial do Cabo and Angra dos Reis, last november. He made contact with me in advance (as you can figure from the above posts) and I tried booking Laje de Santos but the backlog was too big, because...

Hi, sorry to jump in like this but, about the damages inflicted by the storms, I'd really recommend taking a look at the on line versions of brazilian newspapers for the latest information about the flood in the Itajai Valley and it's consequences for tourism in northern Santa Catarina state...

Hi! Nice pics, great dives!!! Did you get to dive the Corveta Ipiranga ? Noronha is unforgettable!!

Hi Stefanie! Welcome to ScubaBoard!! Greetings from your homeland!! If you ever come back this way, join us for diving in Arraial do Cabo and Cabo Frio, in Rio de Janeiro. We have a nice group of divers and go out almost every weekend!! Tomorrow we're going to Arraial do Cabo, with water temp...

Hi again (once more... I keep forgetting things...) !! There is a very nice place here to learn more about diving in Mexico, it's the mexican forum (including a Cozumel subforum) in the Regional Travel and Dive Clubs session of the Board. Good reading, and safe diving!

Hi, again! For fun on surface *and* underwater, come to Brazil!!!

Hi, John!! Welcome to ScubaBoard! Greetings from warm and sunny Brazil! And good luck on your OW certification, you both!!! You don't have to worry about your (in)experience in diving. We even have absolute non divers chatting with us here and they are real fun (and surely have fun...

Thanks!!! I'm already looking forward for that!! :)

Hello!! Welcome to SB!! Greetings from warm and sunny Brazil!!

Hey, Covediver, I've always been really curious about Alaska and this info about the Emerald Sea just put me still more on the track for a dry suit - I'm more concerned with low visibility than with cold water, so I guess I would enjoy this fantastic visibility you told us about! BTW, I've...

Thank you so much! These are valuable information and I will be able to do some web researching on those places, for accomodations, distances and so on. Maybe I can even go to Boca del Toro and dive with your shop! That sounds great already!! And Diver-X, you're, of course, welcome!!! I hope...

Hey, if any of you ever come this way, please let me know! I'll be pleased to take you around for some not-so-cold-water diving. Rio's water isn't so warm, though, as it averages 22 degrees celsius. But in the northeast, where diving is great, water temp is a nice 27 degrees the whole year and...

Hi, Cappyjon431! Thanks for replying!! Is the water cold in the pacific ?? I do like big critters! But I also like warm waters, so I almost always end up somewhere in the caribbean... taking pictures of nudibranchs, sponges and coral formations :) I heard someone over here say that you...

Problem is, the notebook doesn't have a real numeric key pad and I couldn't make it with the Fn key together with alt and numbers... Sorry everybody, this does not have anything at all to do with all the low temp diving over there!! I still can't figure what it is to dive in such conditions...
