Nice report. Out of curiosity, what is the water temp down there now?

Thanks for the suggestion. I was thinking of La Cieba because I'm vaguely familiar with the site and because there may be some restrictions on our time. The beach bar sounds promising, though, and we may head there instead. I guess I didn't explain myself too well... it's using El Cid's...

I've dived the airplane at La Cieba, and it is a nice shore dive. I'm going to be back in Coz next month, but won't be staying at that resort. How does the resort/shop feel about nondivers coming in for a shore snorkel there (since they get no revenue from renting tanks)? I want to show some...

I've dived the airplane at La Cieba, and it is a nice shore dive. Quick question about it... how does the resort/shop feel about nondivers coming in for a shore snorkel there (since they get no revenue from renting anything)? I'm going to be in Coz and wanted to show some nondivers a good shore...

Believe it or not, the Orange County Chairman suggested that people in the Orlando area who had boarded up not remove boards just yet. So you're just thinking like the local authorities!

Wendy, the Central Florida ASPCA has reduced-rate spay and neuter services. They also offer reduced-rate vet services, vaccinations, etc. They may be overwhelmed right now with post-storm animals, but it's probably the most cost-effective place to take Lima Bean for general care.

Kev, is there a level area there where a group of students could be settled to demonstrate skills, or is the bottom all urchins?

The DiveGoddess site even has a photo of what looks like a wedding skin on thier page (http://www.divegoddess.com/SkinPicsColouge.html). I know several people who have had them do custom skins and rashguards and have been really happy with the results.

This is slightly off-topic for this thread, but with so many of you in Japan reading it, I hoped you might have some good ideas for me. I'm considering trying to purchase a wetsuit from Japan to ship to the US, since the westuits by Mobby's, Tusa, and Scubapro that are sold there are much...

Hi all... I'm looking for recommendations on middle-to-lower keys diving. Most info I find is about Key Largo. I enjoy diving in Key Largo, but I want to branch out. I'm looking for a dive operator in the middle keys area (maybe Big Pine Key) and for lodging in the same area. I don't need...

I'm off to dive the wrecks in Miami this weekend with a group from the local dive shop. I heard that there was an upwelling earlier in the month that had south florida bottom temps unexpectedly chilly. Is the thermocline gone, or do I need to dig out a "real" wetsuit? Thanks! J

That's exactly what I needed to know! Thanks so much for coming through for me. That's the best thing about Scubaboard... there's always someone who has the answer to your question. J

Hi all... I'm headed off to dive the Speigel Grove and the Duane this weekend, and I realized that I didn't know what kind of wetsuit(s) to bring along! Has anyone been down there recently? What were the bottom temps like? One of the buoy readings I got from the Internet said that the...

...for pointing me toward the comparisons. I honestly don't think that this flood was diver error. I do think it was bad circumstance, as the camera and housing were very nearly washed over the seawall and out to sea by the waves when hurricane Isadore kicked back up. I think it got bumped...

I have used my dive parka as "cover" to change out of a bathing suit and into dry clothes. It's something I nearly always bring along on every dive, even in the summertime, so it's always on hand. I'm a BIG fan of dry undies after a day of diving (especially with a 3-hour drive home from...

Has anyone had a chance to make a comparison between the Olympus PT-010 housing and the Ikelite housing available for the same camera series? I have a C-4000 and am trying to make the "right" decision. After having been with someone whose PT-010 housing took on some water in Cozumel and...

Glad everything turned out OK! It must have been a very stressful time for the head Scuba Duck, not being able to find your flock underwater like that. I'm gald to hear that they learned from the situation. That's a really good sign. Heaven only knows I've seen adult divers get into...

How was it? Inquiring (and unfortunately dry) minds want to know! J

I wish I could make it!! A chance to meet Walter and dive with the Ducks... how could I have already scheduled something for Saturday?? Enjoy... and bring back a trip report for us! I'll catch you next time, I hope! J
