I just got back from a dive with Olympuus 11/6/04 .Water temp was low 70's.If you are going to the Lobster wreck or the Lobster rocks they are pretty far out in the Gulf Stream.The farther out the warmer. I used a 3 mil and a hood and was fine.Hope you have a great time. Tom

Going Sat and Sunday Oct 2 & 3 with Discovery on the Outrageous 5.I have booked through Gypsy Divers in Raleigh so I can stay in the bunk house cheap.I think there are some spots that were turned in that you could book straight from Discovery if you like.I have gone with them before and only...

I spent a lot of time checking this board prior to my first trip to Cozumel.Alison answered all of my e-mails which is alot better than some dive shops that are talked about alot here. When we got there she was flexable and friendly.My ten year old son dove with us some days,Alison put an...

If you are in Belize you owe it to yourself to go and see Tikal in Guatemala.There are several tours that will take you to the park and back from Belize city.The only time your feet touch the ground in Guatemala is in the Tikal park which is fourty miles from anything and safe.The entrance is on...

I don't think there is anything east of I 85 over two or three hundred feet above sea level. Mt Mitchell isn't but 6684 ft and it is the highest point east of the Mississippi. Nothing to worry about.Enjoy the diving,temps and vis have been great this year out of morehead city. Tom

If you get up with Alison at scubawithalison.com she will make sure you have a great time.You can e-mail her and she can answer any and all questions you have. My son and I dove with her in April and equipment,diving,boat and snacks were great. Hope you have a great time Tom

Veo 200 has nice large numbers,relatively easy to understand and use,and the light works well.I don't regret getting mine for a second.You ought to be able to get your LDS down around $300.00. Good idea to get at least the same brand as your husband.Easy to set for nitrox to. Tom

My LDS asks us to come in,try stuff on and shop,go home and check out on line prices but give them a chance to get to make a sale before we send a check off out of state. There is a no questions asked 60 day return policy on equipment and at least a 2 year warranty on everything they sell.If I...

Hi, I bought my ten year old son a pair of Cressi Spacefrogs on E-Bay and they fit him with some med. boots on. His feet are the same size as you.The size is XSmall and they are open heel. We just got back from Cozumel and he loved them.They have better straps than my Volos. Tom

Thank you for the links. Are the U 701 and the U 85 close enough that they could both be done the same day? Do you have any idea what the temp is on the bottom late June or Early July? I know that last year it did not seem to get warm until Aug but I hope this year it won't wait so long...

25 Days-durn,now you have me counting. Tom

Hello Spider You are lucky that there are several shops around.Water World is a good sized shop in Durham,they have regular charters out of Morehead with Olympus.I was certified with them and they are PADDI. I live in Chapel Hill and have been diving with Gypsy Divers,a SSI shop in Raleigh.I...

There is a Computer board I use that changed hands and upgraded.It was all between friends but the startup and upgrade costs were considerable. A moderator asked members who thought the board was important to them if they could donate something to help.The response was so big they set up a...

I just finished filling out Bay Adventures trip and tour agreement for a trip to Cozumel in April.I did ALLOT of research on this board and others and Bay Adventures seemed to come up over and over with nothing but good things said about them. After talking with Felix two or three times I...

Last summer I bought A Veo 200 because of the LARGE display,Nitrox compatible and audible alarms.All of my dives have been 100 plus feet on NC wrecks and I am happy as can be with it.It turns out I do not really need the audible alarm but for the money,$300.00 on sale at my LDS I am happy with...

No,none of the boats I know of require Wreck certification.They would like for you to have done an ocean dive over 80 ft in the last year but I would suggest that you give them a call.Discovery Divers in Beaufort Olympus or Diver Down in Morehead City are all helpful and have regular trips...

Sat. Nov. 1 found my ten year old son and I driving around Chapel Hill with it 81 degrees and the sun bright.I recalled that a friend at Gypsy Divers, in Raleigh had mentioned that Olympus in Morehead City had just called her. They were bragging about 120 ft. vis and bottom temps of 77. I had...
