Newly *visibly* disabled and fiancé wants to dive on our honeymoon (Bimini/Nassau) - if I show up and say I’m fine once I’m in the water will they still let me go down? I do have a doctors’ letter saying a need to gear up in the water from when I didn’t “look” disabled. My limitations are...

Tried searching the other threads, but drowning in information :confused: DH and I are getting Nitrox certified ahead of our upcoming vacation. I wanted to surprise him with a dive computer for our wedding anniversary and have pretty much settled on the Cressi Leonardo for a number of reasons...

Currently looking at PADI eLearning Enriched Air Diver, so we'd be able to complete the instructor part on vacation in Grenada next month. (Yes, I checked with the resort.) The syllabus says 12-15 hours of coursework, but I'm seeing in other threads that it's only a couple of hours of material...

DH and I are going to be in Phuket in March. Princess is offering a snorkel excursion but no diving - can anyone recommend someone reliable to pick us up from the ship, take us diving, and bring us back to the ship? We are both OW certified. I have a long spinal fusion requiring me to gear up...

Hi, the hubs and I are going to be staying at the Reserve at Paradisus Palma Real for a week starting next Thursday. Very short notice, which is so unlike us! I don't find any threads about the dive op, Scuba Caribe, that was mentioned as operating out of the resort, for a few years. Can anyone...

I had a vague idea that I would get a GoPro for my husband's "big" holiday present this year. Just went online to purchase and there are so many options! :confused: All the threads discussing this seem to be from around 2012. For holiday divers, what would you recommend? We are certified to...

A billion years ago (OK, maybe 3 or 4?) when the board was down for an extended period, a bunch of us moved to a home improvement board being started by the same kind people behind ScubaBoard. Fast forward to 2009, when I have an actual home improvement question, and can I think of the name of...

I hope this is the right place to put this :-) I ended up with a duffle bag large enough to curl up and sleep in quite comfortably; now I can't figure out to do with the silly thing. At the same time, the airlines managed to trash the suitcase we normally put our dive gear in - thank goodness...

My husband and I just moved to Caesarea, and while it may not be the *best* diving in Israel, the prospect of diving so close to home is irresistible. Plus, we're both ruins freaks... I was going to go down to the dive shop in the port tomorrow to get information and hopefully book something...

We will be there in August; staying at the Caribe Hilton in San Juan. We would like a shop that will pick us up from our hotel; we have some of our own gear but will need to rent the other half. I also need to find someone that will let me gear up in the water. Woo hoo! I can't wait :-)

I'm looking to get my mother's new dog (hopefully) from John Day, Oregon to Zillah (Yakima), Washington on or near Thanksgiving. I don't have all the details yet; but her foster family is bringing her all the way from Nevada, and I just need someone for the middle leg. I can get her from Zillah...

Does anyone know the dive staff there? I would like to make my return to diving there in August 2006; but my husband is afraid they will not let me gear up in the water. I know that Sandals as a rule is more conservative than other dive ops, will they consider me too "handicapped" to dive if I...

My spine is now fused T5-L3, with titanium rods and screws holding it; they are permanent. Being so close to my spinal cord, do I need to worry about bubbles collecting on the metal? I keep thinking of what happens when you put a spoon in a glass of 7-up. I should be healed enough to dive by...

I looked, and didn't see that anyone had started one of these threads this year; and since I am out of the water for another 10 1/2 months, I thought I'd start one! What are you going to be for Halloween this year and why? I'll start, Trinity from "The Matrix":14: ; because my husband calls...

A private message waiting for me in my e-mail made me realize I hadn't been on SB in forever.... A new job at the same bank made it hard for me to get on from work; and then I finally had my surgery in August (see thread here) ! I haven't really been a person anyone wants to be around since...

As we are all busily trading remedies for dive hair - Garnier Fructis comes out with this - a product meant to make your hair look like you washed it in the ocean and dried it while riding on a dive boat...

What is the average water temp right now? Trying to decide if I need to get another layer for my torso (I get reeeally cold, even in 70-80 degree water.)

Yes, I did a search :-) Hubby and I are going to Sandals Ocho Rios in August (wedding anniversary and last hurrah before back surgery). Sandals' free bus from the airport takes ~2 1/2 hours. Hubby can't find any short-hop flights cheaper than $300 for both of us. Does anyone know of any...

Can anyone recommend a good towncar company to pick DH and I up from the airport in May? We don't need anything fancy; but the feeling when you get off the plane and someone is waiting for you can't be beat.
