You're right again. And there lies the task..finding another couple... Somehow I feel posting on this board will help. :)

Grajan, Just a skipper sounds just fine. I would feel better having at least one person that know what they're doing. I hope to take lessons one day but I rather not rely on the lessons to go on this sail/dive holiday. My apologies for using the term solo - you're correct. I also have...

ruben, Thank you for your response. I've been away for a while so I have not looked at the board. I contacted a dive agency in Almeria in caba de gatos that sounded ok. I think I prefer to dive in Almeria because I will be spending most of my time there and it would be more simple for me...

Grajan, I just saw your posting. Thanks for the information. It sounds great. It's nice to get some feedback from someone who's done it. Did you have a dive master on board or did you do it solo? I take it from your posting that you sailed it yourself. I have no sailing experience...

Scotty - I will definetly look for the new titanium wet suits that you recommend. Thanks for the info and for letting me know what to keep away from (two piece). I hope I find something this week so I can dive in Spain. I still haven't set up our shark dive (deciding between two dates) BUT...

Scotty - :) Its great to hear that Sept is still good for diving. I've contacted Hampton Dive and will be setting up a shark dive in Sept. Sounds so great. Thanks for pointing us to it. Please let me know how you're dive goes. You can PM me with it if you get a chance. I expect that I...

Does anyone have any info on diving around Almeria, Malaga or somewhere within a 3hr drive from there? I'll be headed there soon (last minute stuff) and I'm try to search for diving info around these locations, types of dives, water temp and whether or not the dives are good? Any info would be...

I agree and believe that anyone can agree that an LDS that provides service and knowledge is better than shopping online. BUT, if they do not then I see nothing wrong with looking for something somewhere else - even online. I, for one, have not bought anything online yet. I do prefer going to...

Scotty - that looks so AWESOME! I'd LOVE to do that. Tell me, please, that they have those dives more than once on July 24th?? Do they have any restrictions like a certain number of logged dives or something? That would be so sweet. I feel like running to the store to get my 7mil suit...

We've been to a number of shops around the city including Leisure Pro. They seemed to have competitive prices there but it seems like a better place to go once you know what you want. Since for the most part we didn't know, we've purchased most of our stuff at other shops. We're pretty new...

steve, wilder - sorry you're having trouble with your instructors. I know it sucks. It's very irritating when instructors like that get away with not teaching especially since you paid for the classes. The worst thing is that it leaves you feeling like crap and wondering if its really you...

That's funny. I never really stopped to ask WHY that happens. When I was taking the OW course, at the end of the dive the instructor asks us to turn the bc upside down and depress the deflator. At this time a bunch of water came out of the other student's BC, but nothing came out of mine. I...

Hi everyone. I'm also heading to Spain mid july to mid august and I'm thinking about diving while I'm there. The only time I will be close to the water is when I'm in Almeria. Does anyone know if there's any diving by there or anywhere in the 3 hr radius from there? And if its any good...

So happy :D to hear that everything turned out ok. Stay well.

Hello and Welcome from NYC. Not exactly like diving in florida. :rolleyes: I can't wait to hear about you Florida dives around the board.

Hello and welcome from NYC! It sounds like you have plenty of experiences to share with us. I look forward to reading your posts around the board.

Congratulations!!:)

Hi. I'm not for Long Island but I'm from NYC. I'd like to say hi and welcome. I hope to get some info on your dive sites around the board.

I started diving because it was another adventure, another challenge. And once I saw what kind of adventures lay underwater, I was captivated. I love watching a whole other world go about their business under water. I'm in awe of the majestic ocean which can be rough on top but once under...

That's a tough situation. It sounds to me like he's obsessed with the sport. I always say and believe, we shouldn't allow ourselves to get obsessed with anything - not smoking, not sex, and for me, not even chocolate. Everything in moderation. I'm sure you've tried this already but (without...
