    shop is saying we can take a refresher and obtain a padi card, doubt the guy would tell us he can do it then not do so.

    Referral Dives on St. Thomas

    I just did a dive with admiralty and I'd also like to recommend them, they have a wide variety of sites and their staff is very friendly. They also keep the dive groups small which is a big plus in my books.

    Tiger Woods - Scuba Diver

    Having no bubbles in the area attracts sharks? This is news to me. Just keep him away from the dolphins, lord knows what he plans to do once hes finished fornicating with the entire human female population.

    Has anyone worked as an instructor aboard a cruise ship?

    Money is not an issue, this is more for the experience. Plus like rivers said, your expenses are very little almost everything is provided for on a cruise ship.

    Has anyone worked as an instructor aboard a cruise ship?

    Thanks for the reply rivers, it is my understanding though that the staff members do get time off every now and then on the ports. I'm sure the dives I would be doing with customers would be of the cattle boat variety but on my time off I could probably hit up some of the advanced dive sites...

    Responsibility to insta-buddy

    I think that's primarily the problem with insta-buddies. You are required to be there for them whether or not they're a good diver, arrogant diver, new diver, or the dreaded photographer. Do I think you were in the wrong for leaving him? Yes, I do. As I previously mentioned you take that risk...

    Has anyone worked as an instructor aboard a cruise ship?

    Topic is self explanatory, but I'll give some context as to why Im asking the question. I'm currently finishing my last year of my degree to which I'd like to spend a couple years traveling before I end up in my final place of employment. Scuba diving has always been something which fascinated...

    Referral Dives on St. Thomas

    Coki is by far the cheapest organization you can go with. I did a dive with them about a week ago. I believe the reason for their lower prices (according to them) is the fact that they do not have access to the same facilities other organizations use IE: pools. Their classes are all taught out...

    On St.Thomas till Jan 4th, anybody want to go diving?

    I know alot of people are generally turned off by the insta buddy notion, but I figured I'd give this a shot regardless. I'm visiting family on St.Thomas for a couple weeks and im leaving on the 4th. Weather hasn't been the greatest lately and as I'm writing this were getting hit by a nice...
