We will be lodging at the Marriott Surfside. No cattle boats, and we don't need anyone holding our hands. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance ! Billy

Yes, Mares did purchase Dacor. I think you had better go straight to the source and email your question to Mares. Over here in the States, Mares has been running big promotions trying to get folks to trade in their Dacor regs for new Mares regs. I took advantage of that offer and traded my...

Thanks for the report. Our gang has been considering Wakatobi, but I have been very skeptical. For the time and money invested in Wakatobi, the experience should be just this side of heaven. This is not the first questionable review I've heard. Will probably scratch Wakatobi off the...

When I introduced my son to salt water a while back, we did a few days in Key Largo and then a couple of days in Key West. I would recommend the Marriott in Key Largo, and although they have a dive shop at the hotel, I would highly recommend Horizon Divers, just down the road at Mile Marker...

You are responsible for your own safety, never depend on the dive master. I agree with Valwood1, go to the Keys and do a lot of shallow diving before you try West Palm or any other area with deeper depths. Practice, practice, practice. I also believe you would probably benefit from hiring a...

It's a great dive, but treat her with respect. If the current is ripp'in, it's not too hard to get blown off the wreck. If it's a fast boat, they should be able to pick you up before you drift into Cuban waters....:D

I dove Bimini many years ago and really had a great experience. Thanks for the post.

My son and I did a two tanker morning dive with Subtropic. Had a good experience with them.

I completed my OW, AOW and Rescue training back in the early '80s. Just this past year my son completed his OW and AOW and I must admit, I thought the class was watered down as compared to what I went through.

Sterling Silver Scuba is a little farther out, but small classes and good folks. Here is the link: Sterling Silver Scuba

It's a war grave, I hope folks have the decency to leave it alone.

Very cook photo, thanks for sharing.......

Congratulations!! Pass out the cigars !! :D

This IS the protocol for the area. While I don't condone the lack of a recall brief, breaking anchor is not unusual for the area and not a cause for an emergency in and of itself. I fail to see how "everybody does it this way" applies.

I grew up diving off of Savannah, Ga and I too don't know of any mooring lines on any dives sites in the southeast area. There is nothing on the bottom but sand, so there is no hard bottom to tie a mooring line off. Like the previous poster said, it's a common practice, mooring lines don't...

Thanks for posting and glad it turned out well.

Under Armour compression shorts or similar.

Horizon Divers. Usually small groups, not a cattle boat by any means.

Just got back from Key West and the Vandenberg. Subtropic Dive Center also does (2) tank dives on the Vandy. Good folks.

Ah...I've been on the road a lot lately..... Can you tell me where this mama hangs out?:eyebrow:
