I was a dive guide in Hawaii from 1980 to 1989, in 1980 nobody new about an octopus, in about 83 my boss told me that all dive guides would be required to have an octopus but the tourist / rental gear would not have them. We did not like this because they dragged behind us catching on coral etc...

Oh and by the way Your van is cool; I didn't mean an insult by saying an old school bus. But that’s what it is The bus is very set up for diving, and looks clean tidy and well maintained. You have a great portable operation.

Shaka Doug My apologies for any insulting comments I may have made. My day diving with you was a good one; I did request the dive site and you where happy to accommodate. And you knew the site very well. Your pre dive briefing was very complete, entertaining, and made it fun. And more...

I don't know about wave height other than surfing over head, double over head, and your nuts to go out. here is what I do know we where diving at Mokuho’oniki Rock off of Molokai'i, next time it will be the only charter diving I do. When we where in the leward side of the island...maybe...

The guy who runs / Owns North Shore Explorer is now working for Lahaina Divers on the Molokaii trip. He is a bit of a neandrathol, and happy to tell everyone how great of a diver he is and that no one else could measure up....but hey maybe he can back it up. He was our dive guide.

Kim was great and I did finaly get to dive red hil it was a good dive, I think the best diving on Maui is along the South shore, beach dives

My wife and I have been on Maui for the last month, I have pulled off 21 dives in that time so thought I would pass on my report. First I would not call Maui destination diving, meaning you come here to vacation and then do a dive, you don't come here for a dive vacation. With one exception and...

I quick little story of diving air 30 years ago. Keep in mind I do not condone diving deep on air if there are other options, but also remember deep is a relative term. I once worked as a dive guide in Hawaii in 1980 - 1989; there were not a lot of rules or knowledge for that matter then...

This is a must see movie to bring the devistation of the sharks to the foreground SHARKWATER here is a picture of how I spent my morning yesterday morning off the island of Molokai'i Hawaii

interesting on the aircraft carriers. what is the list I heard there is an artificial reef aircraft carrier...that I don't consider a wreck.

I like shipwrecks with a great history / story to them Lusitania for its history and challenge San Francisco Maru for its beauty Empress of Ireland cause bits significant and often overlooked USS Saratoga - cause we cant do it and its the only aircraft carrier the Doria - even though...

this goes to show you that you should never postpone anything in life. don't wait..do it

Is there any news regarding diving at Bikini Atoll

I am compelled to comment on the original post because I was in the exact same situation once I was on a dive expedition to the North Sea to dive some wrecks, About six months prior to leaving for the trip I met a woman who would later become my wife and was able to get her aboard. this would...

Thanks for the input, what I am looking for is a recommendation more than a location. I do know where all the dive shops are in Vancouver. I am wondering about anybodies personal experience as I decide where my daughter should get certified. is there anyone who has gone through a cert course...

I'll be 50 this year. I am excited because I will be the youngest competitor in the Senior Olympics track and field competitions, I think this will be an advantage. Last year I was the Canadian Nation Champion for my age group at the Masters track and field championships in shot put, discus...

My 16 year old daughter is wanting to get certified in Vancouver. We live up in Whistler so we would need to make the drive for each class. Can i get a recommendation for a dive shop and or an instructor in the Vancouver / north Vancouver area Thanks Doug

in this one three of us are hooked in together, you will see that our feet are resting on the reef hook attatched to the guy in front. I am the one in back with the doubles and the rebreather in the middle is my dive buddy. it was quite a relaxing position to hang out on the reef in. by...

This one will mess with your heads. a 12 man peramid all reef hooked into each other with a rippin current notice the front guy is double hooked into the ROCKS on the reef. the danger is seldom with the equipment it is usualy with the lack of training and experience of the diver using the...
