    Key Largo in late November dive

    I'll be in Key Largo Nov 5-8 with plans to dive on the 6th & 7th. Plan is 1 day shallow with my Jr Diver son and 1 day at the Spiegel. I already had a recommendation for Rainbow Reef and got all their info. I notice they're on the ocean side of things. Are there any outfits on the north side...

    Morehead City / Camp Lejeune / Jacksonville - June 24-27 (mid-week)

    I only own a drysuit, but it's a shell and I choose undergarments based on water temp. I'll bring that and some options. If I'm too warm, I'll rent a 3mm, but it seems that my TLS 350 with sweats and a long-sleeve T will be my choice in the end.

    Morehead City / Camp Lejeune / Jacksonville - June 24-27 (mid-week)

    When I was done with my questions, I asked the person on the phone, "Is there anything else I should be asking?" She asks if I am interested in how warm the water it. I laughed. I told her I was in 47 degree water this morning, so I'm betting NC won't be anything I can't handle ;-) My...

    Morehead City / Camp Lejeune / Jacksonville - June 24-27 (mid-week)

    Looking at probably coming down to the Tar Heal State in a couple of weeks for a ceremony at Camp Lejeune. I've never dived in NC before (NJ / FL / Caribbean), so looking for any pointers and thoughts on my options. Doing some googling, it looks like Morehead City is the closest port with dive...

    Triangle Diving Bermuda

    I did enjoy my time with Triangle. My 11 year old son did his checkout dives with them and I felt he was well taken care of. I dove with them for 3 days. The first two, while my son was in class, I was the only non-student and had a DM to myself. I thoroughly enjoyed diving with him. I...

    Lake Erie Diving

    Myself and 2 others will be in the Lorain area the w/e of June 9/10. Looking to get out on the lake. Thus far, having terrible difficulty. Found a guy with a 6-pack who will do $1,000 for 2 tank dive in the mornings on Sat & Sun. We'd need 3 more to make this as cheap as possible, but at...

    Looking for fun/distinct dive location between St Louis & NYC

    Thanks Necklinsberg, however Dutch is my home base, an hour from home actually. Probably half my dives have been at dutch after becoming certified there. As you guessed, looking for something mid-point on the trip home. Good catch though. Where from in Western PA. Beaver Falls myself, Pitt...

    Drysuit/AOW

    Keep in mind, many dive shops will strongly recommend a set of classes for AOW that might be relevant to that area or your desired type of diving. Here on the Jersey shore, if you want to be AOW, you truly need Deep, Wreck & Boat diving specialties. I also have NITROX & Dry Suit in my 1st year...

    Dive sites for new divers in the Tampa, FL area

    It's a bit south from WPB, but if you're looking for something out that way, I just spent 2 days diving with Captain Todd of the American Dream II. Awesome time, paired me up with a local each day. Best dives of my (short) dive life... Can't wait to dive with him again. If you call him, tell...

    Are other dive boats as good as in So. Cal ?

    You hit the nail on the head for NJ Diving. That was all I have experienced in my 1st year of diving. My alarm goes off at 4 AM for the 90 minute drive to the shore. I get back right around 4 PM. Won't complain about the cold since I'm in a dry suit now. On the 1st anniversary of my 1st...

    Ft Lauderdale & Key Largo - Thu/Fri/Sat 10-27 - 10-29

    Awesome conditions today. Water was a shade rough, but I didn't hurl like I have in NJ waters, so that's saying something. 70' Vis and incredible fishes at both the Captian R(something) and then Baracuda Reef - In my 12 months/50 dive career, have never seen anything like this before - let...
