Yes, that would be the one. Thank you for making it available to the membership.

Sorry, can't seem to edit it, either.

The answer to that is always "That depends". Become a DM first, then look around at your possibilities, okay? Cart, then horse never seems to work out.

Best advice that you'll get right there. Unless you have finances to tide you over, it's rare--very rare, for most to completely make their living off of dive instruction alone.

When diving at Athens, be absolutely certain that you rinse your gear thoroughly after each and every dive with a thorough cleaning after the last one. I don't know if they still do this, but a prior owner put something in the water that not only inhibited plant growth but did strange things to...

It's likely that we won't hear anything new on this incident for quite some time. Hazarding a guess, there's some serious investigation that has to be done by law enforcement and various and sundry other agencies, not the least of which will be an incident report filed with whatever agency the...

Thanks--noticed this after posting so I also put up the second linked article on the same topic. Even though I could read the original article off of Google news, apparently pay walls are becoming a hard reality in other parts of the world.

This terribly sad for me, as the diving off Western Australia is near and dear to me. It's the part of the world where I got my Scuba Instructor certification, and have many fond memories of the sites, sights, and people there. Full article can be seen at Nocookies Here's another, same topic...

Not mine; just posted because I thought everyone would get the same kick out of it I did. Glad you enjoyed it.

CSSP? You should meet plenty of dive buddies there. If your local shop has a web site, get on that as well to meet potential dive partners.

Divers tend to go some really amazing places. The most common in the ocean involve the living systems that comprise reefs and the variety of life they support. There are so many places to go and see where these living masses demonstrate the variety of life we share the sea with. Learn more at...

Looks like there may be hope for us yet. New reserves have been discovered in Africa. You can read the details HERE.

I miss CSSP.

Bob (Grateful Diver) said it best...a dive snob is very particular about who they dive with, as if diving were separated by country club memberships. What you describe I learned was called a warm-water wuss; no cold water for them, no how, no way. I'm sure others can give you additional terms...

Why not glance at this brief overview, so you too can be GETTING TO KNOW INDONESIA

An article in the LA Times talks about a cral reef census that shows promise for the future. You can read the article at THIS LINK.

I spent three months in Western Australia, and used my own kit while there. What I did was simple. Arranged to have it shipped and insured to my destination, then did the same in reverse. Just make sure that you have someone to receive it at both ends you will be able to trust. Yes, it was an...

When divers get together and talk about sites, there's always one question that rears it's head. "What's the viz like?" It can be beautiful topside, warm, and fantastic in every other way, but it means nothing if you can't see the sights underwater. So, without further ado: WHERE TO GO TO...
