I just found out about this on Monday and was very saddened to hear that a fellow friend and diver, June Harder was killed (along with her husband) in an explosion in SC. I met June on a dive trip to Cozumel and was struck by her lust for life. June and Ray are leaving behind their 2 daughters...

None of my dive buddies could make it and I had to book the trip or lose a credit so I am flying solo on this one. Diving with Dive House or whoever is Fiesta's dive shop. I havent been to Cozumel in over a year and looking forward to getting back there. Anyone know if Ernesto's Fajita Factory...

We have a trip planned in May. First time there and was wondering if anyone had stayed at Club Med (Provo I believe) and what it was like?

Aquasafaris in Wilmington is booked but I may head to the coast anyway. Anyone have any suggestions about other good operations or anyone going out privately that may want another diver? I got nothing but time on my hands at the moment and want to get in the water. Keith

I got to put my Rescue Diver training to good use this past week in Cozumel. On one of my dives I noticed on of the divemasters having some problems with an older man that was obviously in rental gear and didn't seem to be a very experienced diver. He was in a T-shirt and bathing suit (no...

I was in Cozumel this past week with my mother and her husband. They decided to get OW certification while down there. I won't mention the resort or the dive operation but let's just say I was less than pleased with the instruction they received. Neither one of them got any classroom instruction...

I was down in Cozumel using my new Zeagle Brigade this past week. On my 2nd day of diving as I did my giant stride off the boat my left weight pouch came out through the bottom of my BC. Luckily someone saw it and the divemaster went down and retrieved my weights. He tried to put them back in my...

I just got back from a week in Cozumel. The diving was awesome as always. Flying out Saturday was an adventure. The line for USAir was longer than I had ever seen it. All flights were booked and they were offering compensation if you took a later flight and let someone else on. I actually...

Larry over at Scubatoys gave me a great deal on a Zeagle Brigade. Those guys are the best! :D The Brigade is a hybrid that was created by putting the bladder of an Escape on the harness of a Ranger. I already have a Ranger LTD but found that it is hard to pack and weighs a ton. For warm water...

One of the things I find the hardest when diving is to keep track of your buddy. It takes away from the dive to always be looking around (over your shoulder) to see if your buddy is near. Is there a way that DIR makes this second nature? Just wondering, I don't really know all that much about...

I know that it is a good overall rule of thumb not to touch the marine life (corals, fish, etc) for various reasons (damage, venomous stings, etc). I have been with some dive operations that tell you not to touch and then the divemasters actually touch certain things themselves. Isn't that...

I just booked an Esaver to St. Lucia for July . I would like to stay at a place that is reasonable but nice and close to a good dive op. Someone suggested Sandals but I am single so I don't think they will let me stay there (couples only). All inclusive would be nice but not essential. I am...

Sorry if this has been asked but if you purchase from Scubatoys and checkout via the web is there a promotion code to enter to get Scubaboard member discount or do you have to call them?

What are your thoughts on it? I looked at the Subal but I don't have $3500 laying around. Where is the best place to get the Ikelite housing if I go that route?

I have a Nikonos V with the SB-105 and the 28mm lens. I love the pictures it takes but I hate the fact that it is film and everything that film entails. Are there any digital U/W cameras out that will let you get anywhere near the quality the Nikonos V has?

I have a friend that goes out with a very small boat to a place that used to be frequented by spearfishermen. They are ledges that apparently used to be part of a prehistoric river. Anyway, he has a bucketful of Megaladon teeth that he showed to me. The site(s) were kept a secret for a while but...

Anyone have tips on putting your name on your equipment so it doesn't get mixed up and/or lost? The first place I took instruction from had us put 3 unique colors of electrical tape on our stuff but I don't really like that method too much. The last trip I was on I somehow left my $189 fins on...

I have narrowed my choice for training down to these 2 facilities. I want to get Divemaster first and then will probably go on to Instructor. After the training I hope to work in the dive industry full time at a resort somewhere warm. Can anyone that has experience with these facilities or their...
