Hello! I am heading out to Hawaii in April for a wedding. My friends are staying at the Hilton...my question is, is it really worth all the hype. I don't know - I would rather spend money on diving than sleeping. Any suggestions for places to stay nearby and diving ops?? Xiomara

Last Friday my husband and I went to Freeport, Bahamas for 5 days of diving fun and relaxation. The entire trip was a nightmare! From beggining to end. Our flight to Freeport was actually fantastic, we even arrived about 20 minutes early. Our van to take us to the hotel was ready and...

Ok, so I am planning on buying the Canon PowerShot A85 - just wanted to know if anyone has this camera and what kinds of housings are you utilizing for it? I'd like to hear your opinions on this camera, thanks!

I am a newly certified diver (Sept) and will be travelling to the Bahamas next week. Is it too soon to do my Advanced OW? How long should a person wait??

Hi there! I was certified there in Sept. When I went the viz was only 10ft! But there will be a lot less people out there in Nov so it should be better for you. Definitely wear a 7mm with hood and gloves, gets pretty cold out there! Good luck and let us know how you made out.

I am new to diving but have figured out right away that I want to utilize a dive computer. I have no idea what to look for and am looking for suggestions. I think that a wrist computer would be most comfortable for me, so if you have any ideas please pass them along. Thanks!

Great! Thanks guys for the recommendations! Xiomara

I didn't see Guatemala on the State Dept site - honestly doesn't matter, I have been there tons of times since my parents are from there. Thanks for moving it to a different section of the forum

I am planning on going to Guatemala to visit my family soon...any recommendations for dive sites or operatos?

2 weeks ago I finally got certified to scuba. I can't say that it was a GREAT experience, simply because of the cold water and the 10 ft of visibility!! But now I am really, really looking forward to diving in Freeport in November. The really cool part of my check-out dives was that my...
