    Princess Cays Island scuba

    Well, I couldn't agree more. A year ago February, my wife and I dove at Princess Cays. For the first time diving in the open water was very nice, even though it wasn't the best diving spot. This is what you get for a small operation that has only one small boat and shallow diving. Of course...

    Blue Hole March 14th~15

    Wish the wife and I could have made it, but work didn't allow us to break free. Perhaps next time. By the way, we just got back from diving in Grand Turk. Couldn't have been better diving. Awesome trip! Great video James!

    Recent near miss in Bahamas found on YouTube!

    It's kind ironic that I just spoke with 2 people that have over 2000 dives under their belts this past weekend. They have used their original RDP back in the early 80's, when one could go down over 140ft with no problems. They sure did look healthy to me. They did, at that time, had to do a...

    Thanks Caymaniac. Let's hope that with 4 years passing, things have gotten a little bit better (but I will not bet my life on it). We will just have to wait and see. As far as cruises go, this will be our 2nd cruise. First one was with Carnival (you know, the Wal Mart brand) to Jamacia, Grand...

    Blue Hole March 14th~15

    HEATER? hmmm, now that would be nice! I will talk with the wife and see if we can make it Ron. We will be back from our diving trip on the 2nd of March, so the third weekend may be a possiblilty. Will let you know! Any dive is a good dive. Who knows, I may have a dry suit by then. But until...

    Dreaming......

    There are NO good places to dive here in Colorado, as far as I have found. You can find places, but they are not very deep (30 to 60ft.) and if you want to just see your hand in front of your face, then you are good to go. We usually go to Santa Rosa, New Mexico to the Blue Hole (which is the...

    Dreaming......

    I feel your pain, as we live in Colorado, oh say over a mile above sea level! And yes, it's cold here to. My wife and I are going to dive in the Bahamas, St. Thomas (USVI), and on Grand Turk next month. Should be very nice.

    Recent near miss in Bahamas found on YouTube!

    If the video was legit, then those two were extremely lucky that someone was there to grab them. They could have had two dead divers on their hands. But I have to agree with the others. 150ft to 15ft in under 2 minutes seems strange and of course dangerous. But, if all their air was about gone...

    Hi from Colorado

    Welcome to Scubaboard! My wife and I also live in Colorado and feel your pain, as far as being somewhat land locked. Although we have not dived in Bonaire or Cozumel YET, we are going to the Bahamas, St. Thomas, and Grand Turk to dive next month. Then we are planning a dive trip to Coz in...

    Blue Hole March 14th~15

    My wife and I would love to go and dive AGAIN at the Blue Hole, but even in March, it could still and most likely be very cold outside. I just can't see jumping in our car with a wetsuit on just to keep warm. Where do you plan to stay warm? As we all know that the new dive center will not be...

    Blue Hole Nov. 7th

    Wow, concidering how slow Santa Rosa is in doing anything, they have gotten pretty far with the construction. Still looks cold! I could live with the water temp, but after getting out, I just don't feel like shivering or getting the car wet just to warm up. It will much nicer when they finally...

    Princess Cays Island scuba

    Awesome, thanks! Can't wait to get out of this snow here in Colorado. This is why we always take our vacations in the winter. Everyone here has been very helpful, and we wish to thank all of you. Blue water, here we come!!!!

    Princess Cruise Excursions for diving question

    S&V, Thanks for the information from your dives. We have both the Pricess Cays and St. Thomas dives reserved from the cruise. We most likely will still go with the excursions with the cruise because of pricing, as even with the private dive shops, they are all just about the same price...

    Princess Cruise Excursions for diving question

    Thanks for the information all. BTW Wreckchick, I checked out your Dive Center web site. Looks like your dive shop is a bit further away from Crown Bay (where our cruise ship ports). Personally, I would rather dive with a separate dive shop then the one the cruise lines have contracted with...

    Princess Cays Island scuba

    Thanks, I think that even though they don't give a discount for bringing your own equipment, we will dive there anyways. I will only be bringing my mask, regulator, and wetsuit. I kind of like to use my own equipment as I don't know how reliable someone elses is. Plus, I have my own intergrated...

    Blue Hole Nov. 7th

    The last time I was there (August 08), it was the same. Way too much silt, but it does settle after a day. Does anyone know how much progress the new dive center there is going? Since it took them over a year to make a road, one can only assume that the new dive center still is in the beginning...

    Princess Cruise Excursions for diving question

    My wife and I are going on a cruise with Princess Cruise Lines in February 09. I have already reserved escursions to dive in Princess Cays, St. Thomas, and St. Maartin. We have all of our own equipment, but will only be bringing our regulators, computers(intergrated), mask and wetsuits. I was...

    Princess Cays Island scuba

    I am also booked on a cruise with Princess Cruise Lines. I have booked an excursion to SCUBA drive in the Princess Cays as well. I plan to bring my own regulator and mask, and wetsuit, but will leave the BC, fins and other items home (due to the weight restrictions on the planes). I was...
