Well, we are here in Giddys. First dives tomorrow. The rooms are okay, the food in the restaurant is excellent. The dive staff seems good. They will let my wife and I drop on our own (which we kind of prefer) and we will go look inside some of the caves/cutouts around San Miguel and see...

4 Divers, 2 tech/2 aow ... My wife found Giddys, looks like our kind of place, especially since they appear to mix nitrox :D Any other options/opinions?

We are making plans to head out the first weekend of May (7-8th) for the kids to get re-acquainted with fish (and boyancy control) before we start up the summer dive season.

I've got vox comms, but we usually turn the vox off and use the PTT .. keeps the expletives off the air and conserves battery.

That 1 ATA 27 deg F stuff requires a lot of extra effort to swim through.

All the above works .. but in a pinch get a Xoom account, while technically you can't send money to yourself, you can send money to your friend there. Instant cash advance.

Oregon State University assistant professor Angelicque "Angel" White who participated in an expedition to gauge plastic debris and studied the literature, figures the size of a hypothetically "cohesive" plastic patch in the North Pacific Ocean is actually less than 1 percent the geographic size...

We were just talking about Balmorhea over dinner; As of now we are thinking about going the 19-21st of February when the kids are out of school for the three-day.

Got to add my Me too .. A K7/K5 housing would have netted you a sale today as thats why I'm on the forum looking.

Relatively speaking it is.. Finding a local guide would be a good idea. (like others) I would recommend $150.00 or slightly more per day as a better budget. Plan on not sleeping in the airconditioning at these rates unless you are really lucky.

I have 1 day (maybe 2) to skip work and dive. Depth isn't an concern, nor is mix (air, nitrox, trimix ok) so.... Looking for suggestions on Sites (wrecks preferred) and operators. I've got equipment but will need weights, tanks and fills. So scubaboard ... If you had a limited time...

There are some hoods which have a "seal-skin" made for face masks. YMM, this is an example only : Seasoft Pro/C6 6MM Drysuit Hood For Full Face Mask

We never used markers in my day. Though in most places you'd work commercially the ambient light was gone long before the working depth was reached (or it was obscured by some overhead) and you brought your own light (which also has color correction problems) Perhaps your teacher is thinking...

I'd be interested in the tanks as well, depending on dates etc.

July is my favorite time to visit. Its the traditional "low" season and most places (even boracay) are not full up and quite often you'll be the only group on the dive boat. (or even the plane, as last july my family was the only ones on the SeaAir flight from Manila) The DMs and other...

I had no trouble with a speedo and a shorty last year in Feb. Most everyone was diving 3s with a few 5mm. My wife who gets cold while looking a picture of snow was in a 3 with a hoodie vest.

Had a blast, got to try on several drysuits, end the end my wife and I signed up for custom TLS350s. (these things have so much improved since my O'neil last saw water) We were in the white suburban with the "mobile scuba shop" trailer. I don't know the official swamper handshake or anything...

Boracay Beach Club is near station 1. Try Free Wily diving Free Willy Diving Boracay Philippines | Scuba Diving Philippines which is about 100-150 meters from there. We've been going there on and off for years .. Its a nice laid back dive shop which caters to recreational divers. The DMs...

DFW has plenty of cold low viz mudholes to practice in .. and DFW airport will get you pretty much anywhere you want to go to actually dive where you don't loose sight of your hand when your arm is fully extended. We do have a big dive shop which is somewhat of a plus... its called wal-mart...
