We are thinking of going to Bonaire in early December. I assume the weather is pretty consistent and will be no problem. If you have been there then, what can we expect for weather, water temp and visibility? Is the island busy, average, or quiet during that time? Thank you for your help!

Just back from Grand Cayman for a trip with my kids (age 18, 21). We stayed at Morritt's on the East End but were very disappointed with the poor condition of our room, though the facilities and pools are quite nice. I would not stay there again due to the poor maintenance on the room and...

Just back from our first trip to Ambergris Caye so we thought we'd give a few thoughts. This was not a dive-dive-dive trip but a romantic getaway with some diving included. We stayed at Victoria House which we loved. Very peaceful and lovely. The grounds are beautiful with a relaxing vibe. The...

I'm hearing there's devastating damage around San Pedro Town but it's mixed. Chuck and Robbies has severe damage, Ecologic Divers is gone, half of Wet Willy's is gone, and the Palapa Bar and Grill is gone. Island Divers said they are in good shape with minor damage. Ambergris Divers lost their...

We are thinking of going to Belize in the fall to stay at Victoria House. We like the looks of the grounds and rooms, hammocks at the room, and quality of service. Has anyone stayed here? Any feedback good or bad? Their dive package includes diving with Fantasea Dive Shop which seems to only...

I'm ready to upgrade and buy new regs for recreational use down to 120fsw, nitrox compatible of course. So I'm down to the Aqualung Lengend LX or Atomic ST1, or maybe B2. (And please keep comments to those regs mentioned. Yes, I know there are a bunch of other great regs out there, these are the...

We have a choice of staying at the following resorts: 7 Mile Beach Resort, Grand Caymanian Resort, Morritt’s Tortuga Club, The Reef Resort. This is our first trip to GC but we've been around plenty of Caribbean islands. We want to dive several days but it's not just a dive trip. We do want an...

We chose the Iberostar Cozumel to be near great diving AND for family friendly features. I am an experienced diver, my son wanted to get certified, and the wife and daughter don't dive. We were not disappointed! The resort held up to all our expectations. The room was not huge but we found...

I was told by a dive shop that PADI will soon (2009) be dropping dive tables from basic Open Water certification study. The thought is that everyone should and does dive with a computer now and no one uses the tables, so it will fit with current practice. To keep divers safe they will teach NDL...

Group trip with our local dive shop - Adventure Dive & Travel, Springfield, IL - to Scuba Club Cozumel, November 4-11, 2006. Scuba Club Cozumel was excellent. The diving was awesome and the fish were plentiful and big. However, the reefs still have some sand coverage from the hurricane. Some...

I just got the Tilos Enigma Titanium Superstretch 3/2 Wetsuit (#JSP306) in the mail. I tried it on last night and it feels great. It is an extremely stretchy fabric, must be almost identical to the Henderson Hyperstretch, except being half price. I can see why it's a Scuba Lab Tester's Choice...

SCUBA, bikinis, water, boats, PWC's, guns, explosions, music, looks cool! Jessica Alba is hot! Looks like fun! Sept. 30, 2005. http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/intotheblue/ http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&cf=info&id=1808628267

So I've been diving 60-90fsw all week in Jamaica. The last day the weather is bad and waves a little taller. We splash in and go to 75fsw to find only sand and grass. Fin along for 5 minutes against a strong current looking for the reef and DM thumbs the dive. Five others climb on the boat...

I'm ready to book Blackbeard's weeklong cruise going out on Oct. 16. This is the middle of hurricane season but I've heard that, bar an actual hurricane, the water is calmer than average. I've been on Lake Michigan in 8-12 so I don't think it will be a problem. Anyone done mid-Oct. before...
