I'm arriving on Friday and am interested in doing a casual shore dive sometime on Saturday, just to get in the water, shake the dust off my gear, and poke around a bit. Is anyone else coming in early and interested in heading out for a shore dive on Saturday? (I'm envisioning sometime between...

Can anyone provide any updated information on restaurants that serve lionfish? I've had it at La Perlita before. Are they still serving? Any other places or ideas? Thanks in advance.

The December thread has been pretty quiet. Anyone still planning on El Pique around 7:00 tonight? Macado? Extremetito? Rmssetc (sp?) was a maybe when I saw him on boat this morning. I think my friend and I will go regardless, but just curious.

With all this chatter about chikungunya, DEET, jellyfish, endless rain, dengue fever and the port closures, I'm ready to reflect on the stuff I'm excited for. 1. the always-a-bit-shocking feeling of water surrounding my body when I giant stride into the water 2. hearing only my calm breathing...

My friends and I are interested in going to San Gervasio and the other side of the island on our non-diving day in December. I usually rent a falling-apart vehicle from the appropriately named LessPay for this activity (a step up from when I'd rent a scooter). Because none of us wants the...

Be warned: This is wordy! (Some might say "thorough.") I did the Aldora Adventure for two back-to-back days two weeks ago. On the first day, the three of us who were going noticed that the crew was praying in a circle on the boat before we got on. That upped the anxiety factor a bit! :) Turned...

Is anyone interesting in a Scubaboard gathering any evening from January 12-16? I think I've already recruited MMM. :) I was thinking Pancho's Backyard or Del Sur only because I've never been to either and they seem high on people's lists, but would be up for anything. Or drinks at Wendy's some...

Who else will be there in January? I haven't seen a list yet. We got an early snowfall and have terribly cold weather (and my darn joints seem achier in the cold every year), so I'm booked! I would be up for a dinner/drinks Scubaboard meet-up or two if anyone is around. I'll be there Jan...

This is quite overdue, but because I took notes as I went, I thought this is better late than never. Consider yourself warned: I can be pretty wordy and detailed!. The point of this trip was for my boyfriend to do a Discovery Dive, and a number of you gave me opinions and helped me out when I...

It's been months since we've had a photos thread here and because I'm really excited for my upcoming pre-Christmas trip, I thought I'd start one. (And I love Christmas decorations, and am curious about what I can expect.) Please share any photos of lights, decorations, caroling, passing out...

I'm going to sound like a big ol' contradiction, and I kind of am, but here's my dilemma. My BF of four years doesn't dive, and isn't convinced that he'd be interested. Because of that, he just wants to "try it" (not take a full cert). Honestly, I've always been kind of against Resort Courses...

This is my first Scubaboard trip report. I always mean to do it, but then time gets away from me once I get home and it seems like too much time has passed. I went to Little Cayman Beach Resort for a week in February with five other women. I have been to Grand Cayman about 15 times (but more...

I read a couple years worth of Little Cayman posts yesterday and didn't see this mentioned. Does anyone know how the cell phone coverage is in Little Cayman? I have Verizon and like use my phone on trips (mostly just for texting my mother for her peace of mind - not to have extended...

I learned to spear lionfish during an amazing REEF-sponsored trip last year. I now have a trip to Little Cayman coming up. Does anyone know if spearing is allowed, encouraged, discouraged, etc. among the dive shops there? Apologies if this has been asked before. I didn't have much luck when I...

I'm still SORT of considering joining this rowdy group for the Invasion. One of the complications is that I would be flying from Minneapolis, and would have to fly to Nashville on the back end to attend a work conference. Has anyone ever shipped their gear home? I wouldn't want to schlep it to...

Does anyone know if any of the Key Largo dive shops sponsor or host teams for the REEF Lionfish Derbies? I've always been a bit interested in participating, but wouldn't have a team (or connections in the Keys). Or are there ever teams who are looking for other divers? And in the spirit of...

I've turned to Scubaboard to research dive destinations for years, and have poured over information provided here. I thought it was about time I signed in, in case I actually want to respond to a thread someday! Sometimes I turn to Scubaboard just to live vicariously through others when I'm...
