Ok, thanks The day trip is a 3-tank charter, usually about 12 - 15 miles off shore. They leave at 0700hrs and get back around 1530hrs or so. They give you a small breakfast (sausage & biscuits) and a lunch (Ham sandwich & Chips) with Cheese/Pepperoni and Ritz crackers on the ride back to...

Yes!!! It was the Go Pro. . . . Thanks!!

I was on a dive yesterday where I saw my dive partner had a camera clipped to his BCD. Yesterday was the first time I met him and I gave him my email so I hope he sends me some of the pictures we took (yes, he let me borrow it). Now, the interesting thing about it, it was very tiny. I...

What are the customary practices for tipping on a day charter? Do you use the 15% you normally tip in a restaurant or is there another formula?

mselenaous Yes, I went up into the bell a couple of times.

I finished my certification of Open Water yesterday. What a beautiful area - but my G-d was it cold when we first went in. I went down about 5 - 6 feet and some water when right down my spine (under my wetsuit) and started hyperventilating. Once I recovered and started to swim around, I was...

Been on it for a little over a year and I am down 60 pounds. Have another 30 do go before I get to where I want to be. . .

I was a little worse off than you when I started. I am 5'11" and tipped the scales at an ugly fatboy weight of 310. I too wanted to get back to the 205 I was when I got married 20 years ago, but I knew that was too much of a goal and I would get frustrated quickly. I saw some co-workers have...

We will be there next week and plan on snorkeling on Cococay - weather permitting - and have not read or heard anything about jelly fish down there. On the Atlantic Coast (North Florida) they are pretty plentiful. Is there anything (besides a rash guard) that we should bring in case we run...

I did the discover with my wife. She had what the instructor is calling a reverse block due to pressure in her ears that she couldnt clear for a couple of days. While we are in the Bahamas, we will be snorkeling, so I am hoping that her seeing the undersea world will convince her that she...

Got the manual, log book and RDP for Fathers Day. Wife and Kids signed me up to start on July 6th (the week after we get back from a Caribbean Cruise). . .Next cruise (or Sandals) will include a dive trip (maybe a shark dive with Stuart Cove. . .)

We are going to be in Nassau on July 1 - with Royal Caribbean and we found these two sites: www stingrayadventure com - Stingray Adventure Tranquil Island Blackebeard's Cay Swim with Atlantic Stingrays Events Private Parties Group functions and www seahorsesailingadventures com -...

Thanks Yes, after re-reading my post, I wasnt very clear. We went on the Discover Scuba to see if it is something we want to do - and yes, the remainder of the tasks are for the open water certification course - and we are going through PADI. I find it interesting that "Cramp Removal" is...

Saturday I went for my Discover Scuba course. While in the pool, we covered the clearing of the mask, the "reach around" to get the regulator if it ever fell out of our mouths, the clearing of the regulator, both with enough o2 to blow out the water and using the purge button something else...

I am happy to say, the dive shop I will be going to is the exact opposite than this. I saw on the medical form, the question "have you ever had Sinus surgery?" My concern was that I had surgery for a deviated septum 25 years ago. I wanted to ask the guys at the shop about this, but before I...

I have been dealing with it for upwards of a year. Just recently, it has gotten much worse. I tried a full elbow brace with a prescription (dont remember what it was) both really didnt work. When I went back to the doctor, she said I should try the forearm band (not the full elbow brace) and...
