Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions they really do help, Im gonna look into them. The budget I mentioned is just a GUIDELINE. we have looked at some packages and they were in that price range. Plus that budget is just for hotel and air, Not food/drinks, fun, & shopping. If I need...

My fiancee and I are going nuts trying to find the best locale for our honeymoon in Nov this year. We know we want to go somewhere in the Carribean but are having a real hard time choosing which Island. We have looked at just about every island and have found pros and cons for each I just...

Thanks Everyone for the replies they really helped. Exactly the first hand info I was looking for. We have both been doing some reading and what you guys said is pretty much what I expected. stay at the AIs or West end. (I was kinda hoping I'd get a few responses that there was lots of stuff to...

My fiancee and I have been racking our brains for the past 4 months as to where to go on our Honeymoon. We are getting married in November 06 and want to go somewhere exotic but yet still somewhat reasonable $$ wise. I have been pushing for Roatan as it is not too far and flights and hotels are...

Hey it sounds like you already have 2 DPVs your two kids! If they are good swimmers have them tow you. Each one grab a BC strap and pull. Just kidding (but not a bad idea if you get too tierd) I too have a disability (MD), and well my legs work somewhat ok (for now at least) but not all that...

therre is actually a forum section here at SB that deals with just that Divers with Disabilities But Scuba freak is right PM or post on that board and Matt will be able to point you in the right direction. I am a disable diver and MAtt was the one who pointed me to this board he is a...

OK Not to hop on the bandwagon for Global warming but seriously dude you honestly don't think that we humans have had a negative effect on our environment? How about this you sit in your garage for an hour or two with the door closed with your car running. Then tell me that the effects of our...

If shore diving I hold onto it and tow it with but do not attach to BC due to reasons already mentioned I also have a buddy follow us in the dingy I hang the dive flag from the actual boat. He follows us around and screams or blows the air horn at boaters getting too close. He even got right in...

You should be able to fit both sets of gear in just 1 suitcase IF you pack it RIGHT. I dive but GF doesn't but she does snorkel so on trips we have 2 sets of: masks, fins, snorkels, + my boots, 2 pairs of gloves (one w/webbing one regular), hood, log book, save a dive kit (a small tackle box...

If this WASN"T your WORST Dive, I am afraid to ask what WAS! BIG question!?!? Was either one of you towing a float with a dive flag on it like is REQUIRED for safety purposes? IF NOT that ALONE is reason to call the dive! How would a boater know you were UW? NOT GOOD So just to set things...

32 diving for about 3 years should have gotten the c-card when I took the classes back in college :banghead: I'd have a whole lot more dives by now

"Gone Down Lately?"

That is just SOOO perfect!!! I wonder what the LA/Southbeach 'beautiful people' would say if they only knew what they were sitting on! :D Hey maybe we should tell em It might clear out the crowds!!!

There were Millions of human Deaths during WWII!! I think we LEARNED ALLOT from that situation don't you. Not just about Tyranny but allot of medical advances and procedures came from the very horific and unfortunate deaths of many Nazi prisioners, and regular soldiers. I know I...

Sport Diver is the only one I read on a regular basis BUT I get it with my PADI diving society Membership. I have to agree with Firebrand I am getting a bit tired of the "See your Local PADI dealer for details" in almost every article. Other than that it is a good publication with some good...

Thanks 4 sharing the gut wrenching experience!! it is a good peice of know how to remember, especally if you were partying a bit too much the night before. The pics were OK NOT at ALL disturbing, cool not nasty at all! thank mods for letting him post em (you guys made the right decision)...

I know I was taught very emphatically that you do not let anything dangle whiile in the water. (BTW a PADI course) As for the INS not teaching it all I have to say is SHAME!! SHAME !!! SHAME!!! YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER!!! this is so wrong on many levels; 1. I would hope you would want to...

As most have said there is NO major difference in Agencies but there is a HUGE difference in Instructors, any of the Big name agencies (NAUI, PADI, SSI...)you shouldn't have any problems diving anywhere in the world. BUT the level of instruction will vary greatly depending on you Ins. Don't...

Thanks Wayne for the heads up on Aqua Safari. I was thinking about diving Coz eventually (as soon as I have the $$$ ya know) so it is good to know we have a dive operator there that will work with us. Espically considering they called you and were concerned about your safety on the first day...

From all I have read and seen about the Galapagos is that it is NOT for beginer divers. I know you said it was next year but you have to consider how much training and cofidence you will have in your skills by then not just how many dives you have done. You can have 100+ dives in your log but if...
