I've done the Vandy a few times with Captains Corner, most recently this past Tuesday. FYI - They have a new Newton 46' now, their old boat is gone. I've enjoyed every trip I've taken with them. In my book they are a solid operator, as good as any other I've used. I also like how they set...

Weird...I dove the Vandy 2 years ago with Southpoint... They ran almost identical to how Capt's Corner ran the trip I took last week to the Vandy, Dive briefing for first dive then told us the time we'd be leaving for the dock and to plan our own surface interval. Basically, the rules were to...

I know I'm not a regular here, but I spent a good amount of time reading through trip reports here to help plan my trip...So I figured I'd report on what we did to maybe help some others who do the same. I also know this is really long, but I wanted to get some of the details in, while giving...

I was originally NASDS Certified back in 1997, when I was 12 years old (I think)....My instructor was Steve Matheny form The Dive Shop in Orange Park, FL. Sadly, Steve is no longer with us. He and my dad were friends and we did many dives in the springs in NE/Central FL while I was still...

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't ruling out taking a course at all, just wanted some insight from those who have experience. Really I want to see if the checklist I have includes everything that is needed... Then I will worry about how I'm actually going to do it :) This isn't something I...
