I already have one full layover day before flying planned into my next dive trip so please don't bother hassling me about safety — as some are wont to do. I am planning on doing an EAN certification sometime in the future. I've read only a bit about it so far. I find it interesting that a major...

Aloha, We are a family of four adults and one child. Headed for the big island late August or early September. Would like seven to ten days in moderate priced lodging. We cook so condos are fine. If not beachfront, then within walking distance. Can do with two bedrooms if one has two beds...

...just above the center of the image, please? The picture was taken just off Anacapa Island, Channel Islands, CA

Just back from a ten-day dive adventure based from Ambergris Caye, San Pedro, Belize, with my two sons, Phil and Geoff. I did 12 dives and they logged 17 each. Because of the less than good weather, I have to give the overall trip an eight out of ten score. . We landed...

If I gather together a fair sized group from California — 8 to 10 adults, half as many teens, and a few pre-teens — where should we stake out our base for a ten day stay? We'll want to do more eating in than dining out. Most of the group will be advanced or open-water certified so diving is on...

Where can I find the instructions for posting JPEG images in Digital Darkroom?

Phbbbbbt, How does one delete posts, including thumbnails, and second what are the parameters for making a picture large enough to view? Such as, this one that prints 6 X 4 inches:

Banderas Scuba Republic is at the top of my dive shop list at the moment. Can you convince me of a better operation to go with?

They don't have to be Cressi's brand. In fact, Cressi's are no longer in stock anywhere. My fins have a buckle "socket" that twist-locks into a half-inch hole on the side of the fin — no stud. I've looked at Blue Reef and XS Scuba and I'm open to other suggestions. Uhmmmm, that is other...

Any comments? Suggestions for other Hilo area dives?

First, let me admit to being a vacation/recreational OW diver. I live in the NW corner of California's share of the Great Mojave Desert and make only a couple dive trips each year. I'm shopping for a trip to Florida. I would prefer boat diving in an area with no or only mild drift conditions. I...

You gave me some great tips for snorkeling while we're on Kauai. Now I back for more. It looks like we'll have lots of time on Oahu and a rental car. How about some place to snorkel between Kailua and Waikiki? Hmmmm, do I remember a "clothing not requied" beach somewhere along that stretch...

I'll be on a Princess cruise with my son and we dock at Nawiliwili on the morning of October 13, 2012, for pretty much a full day [8 to 5]. I'm PADI OW he is AOW. I'm planning on renting a car for some self-guided sightseeing rather than being herded from place to place, rushing to get back on...

For underwater still photography do you prefer flood lights or strobe flash? And why? My thinking is the flood also serves the purpose of giving you light to peer into nooks and crannies.

...do you recommend/plan per day per person in Cozumel? This is over and above the planned costs for lodging and diving. I'm asking about $$ for food, fun, frolicking, sightseeing, shopping, etc.

Hi all, I'm planning a dive trip to Cozumel with my granddaughter (22-y-o) in the last week of March and first week in April. I have only ten dives in my log and T. will have just completed her OW certification. Consider both of us as fresh chum. I figure on doing perhaps five days of diving...

Hello, My son is leaving out on a Pricess Cruise, Sept 24. The first stop is Vladivostok. He is AOW with Dry Suit Cert. The ship will be in port most of a day -- 8AM to 5PM, I think. Any pointers on hooking up on a dive trip to pass to him would be appreciated. Casey

.... and your suggestions for top choices whichever way you suggest. INFO: I have eight dives in my logbook since OW certification. Traveling solo. I'm in the 'mature' generation (read Old Fart). Have everything except tanks and wetsuit. Deepest dive so far, 88 ft. Willing to buddy up with...

Two dives on Saturday and three on Sunday. These were dives 4 thru 8 since my OW cert. The skipper and crew of the RAPTOR get double thumbs up for safety and making the trips a fun experience. Because I went solo, I signed up a dive-guide. Bill R., one of Ventura Dive and Sport Shop's...
