    What to do in San Jose Costa Rica?

    Me and the guys planned on the zip lining. I guess I should be more accurate. We plan on staying in San Jose since that's where the Aggressor will pick up up. While staying at a hotel in San Jose, are there tours that will take us out of the city? Do we have to stay at a place out of Sane...

    What to do in San Jose Costa Rica?

    We are flying down to Costa Rica on March 27. The Aggressor picks us up on the 30th. What could we do for 3 days while staying at the hotel in San Jose? Someone pointed us to some resort for 3 nights with excursions, but that was tacking ~$700 on to my trip. That's too much. Any help...

    We'll be in Nassau

    For a cheap low down dive trip it was fine. Not the best place for a nice vacation. But that was 3 years ago. It could be different now.

    Small knife for a Sherwood Avid?

    Bought an Avid BCD recently and asked for a knife. They brought out a big knife ~9 inches with the sheath. I am told it is designed to attach to the straps above the left pocket. The Akona knife that comes in the pro kit looks large also. I have an Oceanic Spinner on my old BC and love the...

    Diving in Bermuda while docked from cruise

    I dove BWD at somerset bridge when I was docked at Royal Naval Dockyard with Royal Caribbean. I took the bus to the shop and another bus to Hamilton as the ship moved. Make sure if you take a cab or bus your gear is dry (or not dripping). I went to book Royal Caribbean Sept 20-25 out of...

    Should I bring my strobe?

    Thanks all. The boat was cancelled due to large waves from a storm. At least by the time we get to do this dive I will be more experienced with my strobe.

    Should I bring my strobe?

    Well, I figured being so shallow a strobe simply might not be needed being close to the surface where there could be plenty of light. I was also considering the hastle of bringing it and caring for it on the boat being a waste if it's not needed. Caveat: I am new to strobes. I only...

    Should I bring my strobe?

    Saturday I am doing a shark dive off Montauk. The cage will be down 7 - 10 feet. I am fairly new with my strobe, I just have some dives with it in Bonaire. Since I will be very shallow, should I even use my strobe? Should I use ambient light / flash? I don't want to bring the strobe if it...

    New Bonaire Resort

    I was in Bonaire for the first time in 8/2006. I thought the island was perfect as is, and was a little sad to see so many foundations and frameworks being laid out. Hopefully, they won't add a resort(s) big enough to demand a traffic light. The one at Pasa Bon Pizza is enough for the island.

    Key Largo diving

    I dove Silent World when I was down there last year. I think I dove with Captain Bob. Good Op. I would say you can't go wrong with them. I think Christ In The Abyss is doable for newbies. But just look don't touch...fire coral.

    Bonaire Vis

    I was in Bonaire 05-12 Aug. Temps were 82-83 below and the vis was fine, even on the wild side. I'd say at its worst the viz was ~65ft. Put it this way, it was my first time there and I'm already looking to go back. The dives were great.

    Major Props to Underwater Kinetics

    Quick story: I generally don't trust people and companies. Well I bought a Light Cannon 100 and it flooded the first time used. The bulb was done and the ballast was questionable. I met a rep from UK at Beneath The Sea in NJ. He looked at it and suggested I send it in for testing and to see...

    Where do I want to go in GC?

    More direct to what I am looking for. Thank you so much. I f I were to be on the northern part of 7MB, would northern dive Ops such as Divetech get me? Or shoudl I find a closer one?

    Where do I want to go in GC?

    Thanks. I prefer a pool also, but my wife is not mentally on vacation if she is not laying on a beach...women. I knew Cobalt had no beach but wondered if it was VERY close to one. I will advance my research with your provided links. Thanks for taking the time.

    Where do I want to go in GC?

    I have read through many helpful threads and have narrowed down some Ops that sound good to me. Please bear with me for another GC question. It sounds to me if I want to quietly chill I should go north of 7MB to avoid noise and traffic. However, I am sure at night my wife and I would want...

    Going to Bermuda

    I cruised there 3 years in a row. I found that's the most bang for the buck on the island. Plus you don't have to worry about diving then flying. I used a bus and a cab to get to the dive shops. Tip: The bus let me on with my gear in a mesh bag and not two other divers who had dive luggage.

    Deep Sea 3D at IMAX

    I saw this up here at the Imax in NYC. Very enjoyable and the 3D technology blew me away.
