    Lol do you seriously listen to yourself? In a year I’ll be fully trained, know more than I do today, and have a decent amount of experience that I can use to help people. You sir… will still be you with that motto. You win I learned a lot today, I’m out.

    Lightmonkey Support?

    I have to say I'm quite torn over the responses emotions aside and no I'm not emotional. I want to be very clear though. 1. I'm not suggesting that I don't need training or that I know it all, at the same time while the question may be basic to you, I'm asking out of curiosity on something...

    Lightmonkey Support?

    Some clarification points. @rjack321, in the picture you posted above, top left side there is a para cord ring that goes around the neck of the bottle. it's common if you make your own kit to tie a loop of para cord there as a safety ring in the event of a bungie failure. The terminology...

    Trip Report - PR - Palmas Del Mar

    Sure no problem. Overall I would recommend them. The boat is nice, well set up, and Felix the DM was very concerned with safety and I think a great DM. My only issue was with the office and here's why... Getting my business they were very friendly and outgoing, after, not so much. Here's...

    Trip Report - PR - Palmas Del Mar

    Well I didn't give up and asked here at the resort about diving locally and I guess it's really the down season because there aren't any boats going out here in Fajardo lol. It's not really a big deal just thought it might be nice to get some diving in while I'm here. I also just noticed...

    Trip Report - PR - Palmas Del Mar

    So I went diving in Puerto Rico Palmas Del Mar yesterday. I would say it was ok at best. The reefs were so so, same with the fish and there weren't a huge amount of them. I booked with Sea Ventures and they were pretty good. Felix the DM was excellent, the boat was nice and there were only...
