I whole heartedly agree! My husband thinks he has enough gas for both of us, but if his gauges are wrong or his octo isn't working for some reason..I'm screwed! You and Peter rock! If you're new..Please read NWGratefulDiver's articles!!!

Wow...I guess I was blessed with my OW. I paid $299 which included all rentals and dives, about $200 for fins, mask and snorkel. Normal drysuit rental is $100 but the shop owner comp'd us for it to get us to take the class (my friend wanted to wait to take it in warm water).

For shore dives definitely do Black Rock by the Sheraton, Honolua Bay north of Ka'anapali, Makena Beach if the tiger sharks leave it alone and possibly the Coral Gardens. There is also a cleaning station just out from the Ka'anapali Beach Club. Hope you have a great time! As far as boats, try...

Exactly Lynne! I have put off any more training other than a peak class because I want to just figure out how to do the basics since I'm newly certified. I'm working on gaining confidence in my diving and each dive teaches me something new. So like you said..when I'm bored with what I'm doing...

I just bought my 3rd mask and it is the best I have ever had. I used the suction method and it fit so well that when I stopped sucking in it stayed sealed to my face without the strap. I took it on a dive this weekend and it fit so well, that I kinda forgot it was on my face!! It is an Aqualung...

the new Hero on Heroes can breathe underwater!!! He is my Hero!!!

We had a whole Saturday on the class room going thru the material 1-5 Knowledge review plus the final. Then we had two pool sessions during the week. Then the next weekend we had 2 o/w dives on Sat and 2 on Sun....

Oyster...have you thought about bubblemakers? They start at 8 years old to 'try out' the scuba thing!

There is also Bubblemakers and Seal Team kids 8 and older can try out too. Just pool work at first, no open ocean....

I had my girls 11 and 16 do a Discover Scuba a couple of times to see if they really liked it and were able to follow directions....

I have AOW certification, but I feel far from Advanced. I only have 20 dives (7 of those are in Hawaii, the rest in PNW). I am still getting the hang of relaxing, buoyancy, etc. I can go to 100ft, but prefer to stay around 40-80 ft to practice my skills. My husband is more advanced than I and is...

My LDS will try VERY hard to match the price we find online except for LP products because you are not paying for the warranty with those products. Also, if we find something they don't carry, they will order it, no deposit, for us to check out. We have spent probably at least $5k or more at the...

Sorry guys, I love my DUI TLS 350 Signature series! The only issue I have is my right hand seal was cut a bit too big so I get a little damp on that arm, but not the suits fault...Going to get dryglove installed this week so that should solve it...

Deepest I've gone is 99' at Dalco Wall in Puget Sound during my AOW. AMAZING!!! I'm going again!

I have Tusa X-pert Zooms and love them! I used them in Hawaii and constantly outswam the divemaster! It takes very little effort to go far and fast. They are split fins so if you dive in a silty bottom, they tend to stir up the bottom if you don't have good buoyancy. I actually have two sets...

Our LDC will usually try to meet or beat an online price or add something in if we talk to them first. My husband bought his drysuit on line and had such trouble getting it, it was ridiculous! It took 6 months and two sites (one bought out the other) before he received it and then he had to have...

Bandito Charters is the best!!!

I'm his wife and I'm certified so he doesn't need a dive buddy! Haha!!!!

I love my pearl i3. The only thing I have to remember is to tell whomever I am diving with (boat divemaster, instructor, buddy, etc.) about my inflator valve. So it may be a safety issue if I get in trouble and they don't remember me telling them about it....but otherwise, I love it. I took it...
