Scuba Shack is a great dive op, and I really like the Wet Dream as far as boats go. However, piling 26 divers on was a few too many. Particularly with dry suits, a few good (read: huge) camera set-ups and some actual luggage (grrr). Stowing tanks in dry storage where coolers/bags/dry boxes...

May May rocks!

Clear Blue, I have some photos, here's a favorite stitched panoramic of Windwardside from the smaller mountain, Maskehorne.

Saba. There are no beaches and no malls. No discos. No name-brand hotels. It’s hard to get to, and can take a stomach of steel to fly or ferry (your only two options) there. You stay up at 1,500 feet, and you’re a diver so you’re all “now, wait a minute. I’m not supposed to go over 1,000...

Great posts! Keep 'em coming. I'll be the first to re-state the axiom: there are two kinds of divers, those who pee in their suits and those who lie about it. Just remember not to pee too late in the dive so that you sufficiently "rinse" your suit off before getting back onto the boat. I...

Yeah, I looked at the Aquarium website as well as A-1 Scuba's site (what a facility!) I am leaning toward the shark dive -- I like sharks but I love turtles, the bigger the better. It's odd that they'd price the two scuba programs at the same rate, usually (I'm thinking Tampa maybe) the shark...

After a search, only one thread came up about the two dive prorgams at the aquarium. Apparently they were new programs this summer... has anyone else done these yet? I'll be in Denver for a conference in March and would love to know if either dive program was worth the cost. Thanks!

Great report, yes. Totally accurate. When I did this at EPCOT (January 2006), I crashed someone's wedding. There's a banquet room people can rent out for things and I was over there, noticed a bride/groom dancing with their guests around watching (I assumed it was the "first dance"). I just...

Shoot, you might as well call her "The Wetta" if you're going that route.

Panzer?

Thanks, Doc, for your insight.

I have to chime in as a member of that hearty-souled 19! Excellent weekend, loved the early starts and the Wet Dream. Scuba Shack exceeded my expectations with lots of little things along the way. After two days out in the water (amounting to 18 hours on the boat -- that's right isn't it?) it...

Joe, thanks for posting your version. Sounds cheesy, but I think it takes some courage to do that! We're happy you're still typing and circumspect, given the story. Good luck with the doctors and, yes, DAN is a nice addition to any diver's wallet. A bit of added security.

Joe! Yay! It's very good to hear from you and we all hope you're resting very well indeed.

Rick, wasn't it something that there was an MD, a Fire Medic, a nurse (I think), two lawyers (ok, we're not so handy), an Instructor (with your own O2 kit - you're amazing), several Rescue-certified divers and at least one DiveCon on board? I stayed out of the way and applaud everyone's quick...

Wow! What a picture!!! Great job!

Yesterday around noon, seas were mild at St Andrews with a light current outbound (out to sea, sorry I don't know the real word.) Viz was up to 35 feet along the reef, at worst maybe 15. Surface temp 75 with a little thermocline at 30 feet, dropped to 72-73. Max depth (we went inland, against...

Key Largo is a great place to dive, anytime, and you've done your research on dive ops already so I'm piping in for your girlfriend's sake: the reefs out of Key Largo are pretty shallow and the vis is excellent. Even if your girlfriend doesn't dive, she could easily snorkel the same locations...

Wanted: dive location in salt water, boat or shore, with decent conditions (either nice seas or ok visibility kind of thing) in the next week or so. Yes, I've been looking around at the NOAA site and yes, I am well-acquainted the Florida springs... I miss West Palm, and that's as far south as...

RedBull, I'm sorry to hear about your bad experiences. I've never tried DIY snorkelling/ diving in Crystal River for lots of reasons but know that people do have success with it. I was in Crystal River last week and had a wonderful time using American Pro for the morning snorkel/ dive at Kings...
