Remy, You have had some really good answers and responses. The one thing you kept stressing was you knew you had "plenty of air". One thing no one mentioned was what if you did go into a few minutes deco and you just happened to see that Manta Ray or Whale Shark and you are so consumed with...

Live in the USA - have been on every Aggressor in the Caribbean more than once - Cozumel 10-12 times - Bonaire 12-15 times - Palau/Yap - Galapagos 2 times - Cocos Islands, and more. Our rule of thumb is to tip 10% of what the trip costs (week-long dive trip), or Cozumel, $5-$10 per tank dive. If...

Awesome photos! Did you take these at Destin or Pensacola? Going to Pensacola weekend of July 16th. Hope the vis and current are happy and nice. You wouldn't happen to know of any good local places to eat in Pensacola would you? Appreciate any information.

Just trim the area right under the nose to give a little skin for the mask to suck to. Most of the time that works for anyone with a mustache.

Swimming would be a good way, as well as walking!

If you are an air hog and dive somewhere like the Hilma Hooker in Bonaire which is a pretty good swim to the buoy before going down on the wreck, you would want to snorkel on the surface and conserve your air to enjoy the dive ... or if you are anchor diving from a boat and get lost and have to...

Taking the mask off underwater is one of the hardest things for alot of students - young or old. Practicing in the bathtub full of water or stand under the shower head might be an option (or a pool if you have one). I have made over 3700 dives and NEVER HAD MY MASK COME OFF OR KNOCKED OFF! I...

Been to Curacao twice and stayed at Habitat twice and loved it. Divemasters were great and showed you alot of stuff! Diving on your own (shore) was more adventurous and it took longer to get to dive sites because of winding roads, but it was worth it once you found the sites.

Not much that I know of except relax and read and find a hammock or comfortable swing chair!

AUGUST!!! I have been twice in August and seen hundreds of hammerheads and at least 25-30 whale shark encounters on both trips - GOING BACK IN AUGUST 2012!!!

Want to sell Ikelite D70 Housing, Dome Port, 2 DS125 Strobes, Chargers, Dual Sync Cords and Single TTL Sync Cord and Extras - $1750 for all - or make counter offer within reason. I have this listed on eBay; you can view photos by searching for my listing - user ID is sks719 - Item No...

Used = NO WARRANTY New = WARRANTY Purchasing Online = NO WARRANTY Advice = Go to your LDS (Local Dive Shop) and support them - they will take care of you

Hooray for you! It is always tragic when a diver dies and I mean no disrespect to his family. Sometimes though divers never cease to amaze me when they think they are bullet proof and capable of going beyond their experience just because they "got certified". Certification does not make you an...

Cudos to all of you in this thread - you have covered it quite well! Ultimately I personally take full responsibility for my actions as a diver. When you are a child you depend on your parents to take care of you - same goes for when you become an adult, "You take care of yourself! Mama is...

I guess if you must feed the fish - frozen green peas - at least I have heard it won't harm the fish.

The sites may be approved by the manufacturer for sales, but do they provide a warranty and do they service what you buy? ... and consider the cost of say sending back your BCD, regulator, etc., back each year for annual service ....

Mares Volos are super - very lightweight and feel like you don't have fins on. Also, the new ScubaPro Novas - they are also lightweight, but with alot of power.

Bull?@! on instruction, fills, and VIP keeping a dive shop in business! Instructors get most of the fees on instruction - not the owners. Most dive equipment bought online comes with no warranty. If you don't support your LDS, who is going to service that life-support equipment you need to...

ScubaPro - can't go wrong with them!

20 years of spearfishing - wouldn't use anything but the JBL XHD Magnum with Tri Cut tip - awesome gun. Band guns are by far the better guns. However, Riffe makes the best spearguns, but they are more expensive and harder to cock.
