We're off on a cruise in August, and stopping in Cozumel. My wife has her heart set on doing the "Bond Adventure" on Catch the Wave again. I'd rather scuba dive, of course, so I'd like to contact them and see if I can arrange for a DM and some tanks. Anyone have contact information for these folks?

How the heck do you catch those monsters without getting your fingers pinched off? And what kind of bag do you need to carry 'em up??

Just wondering -- where do they go when they "head back out"?

Ahh, gotcha -- figured it'd be something like that. Next time you come up to Bristol let me know -- we can hook up for a beer or a dive or something. Who'd you dive with when you were up here?

Good lord! I thought you found teeth in blackwater rivers! Dang, that's awesome! Need to get down there

I've been looking at real estate , and I don't see the rediculously high prices some of you have been describing. That is, seems like there are still some decent buys out there, even on the water. Take these 3, for example...

Thanks for all the input, folks -- just goes to show that you Floridians are a durned sight nicer than New Englanders! I woke this morning to 6 inches of snow in my 200' driveway, with another 4 inches or so on the way. Once I managed to get into work I checked on weather.com and sure enough...

Thanks for the input, all -- it's greatly appreciated. I agree with 500 PSI -real estate prices are scary as hell! Any suggestions for an area that's close to good diving with reasonable home prices (say in the $250K range)

My beloved and I are getting durned tired of the Connecticut winters, and are thinking of moving to FL in 2 years (just before the son starts highschool). Since divers are great people, figured I'd come here for some thoughts. My initial research suggests that Tampa would be a good area for a...

My co-worker's friend's son had a bit of excitement on a cruise. Seems odd to me -- how would you get an embolism from snorkeling? from http://cobweb.seas.gwu.edu/~sparv/rescue/here.php The ship set sail from Ft. Lauderdale last Monday. The first stop was Key West; not much exciting here...

Good lord, man -- if you're even considering such a thing, I'll invite you to sample the funky air in by BC. I'd rather have a glass catheter inserted and broken than breathe that feculent miasma. What would you get? 2 breaths of the nastiest air on the planet, lung cancer, and a case of the...

I'm quite the newbie diver; I have a grand total of 14 dives under my belt, including my checkout dives. I also have the benefit of having my brother (who went through class with me) as my dive buddy. We can read each other's minds, and are all of 3' away from each other each dive. That being...

What's a pocket mask? Is that one of those CPR mask thingies?

Mrs. Minstrel and I are considering a New Year's excursion. The best deal we've found so far is a western Caribbean cruise for around $1K per person (airfare from Hartford, CT included) that hits Cozumel and Key West. Can anyone thing of a better alternative off hand?

I hear ya, my brother. I think we need to start a new Scubaboard club -- the Snuff Monkeydivers maybe?

I live in CT, and most of my diving is in Rhode Island. I've looked through the laws of both states and don't see any mention of taking skates or rays. Anyone know where I should look for info on species that aren't listed in the game regs? Sure would like to take a few rays and punch out a few...

I was hoping to dive Ft. Weatherhill on Monday, but the nautical forecast isn't looking very good. Winds out of the south at a pretty tough clip, so we'll get some big waves. :(

talk of scallops (and their imitations) got me hungry for scallops. Anyone have any recipes they'd care to share? "Boss Coming Over" scallops In one small crock (per person) add: a handful of scallops salt pepper 1/4 c milk 1 T sherry 1 slice of tomato (on top) top with croutons...

Yeah, Jamestown would be great!
