AlexL, thank you for responding to the event. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the fact that you helped!
Mike was my husband. Without going into great detail here, I can tell you all he was well outfitted and prepared for the dive. He was complaining of chest pain at 40', but he & the...
I certified in the 1970s. The rental gear I used in the beginning had a J valve, and SPGs were keen, futuristic pieces of equipment. I can't tell you how many CESAs I ended up doing when the breathing got hard, I reached back to flip the valve for reserve, only to find it had already flipped...
Most of the divers were out of the water for quite a while + 2 new OW divers.
The second dive had short coral archway swim thru, nice coral, a lot of larger things - shark, huge grouper, multiple rays
We used Oasis when our cruise ship had a short stop. The ship had us fill out forms for equipment needed and had everything set up when we boarded the boat from the beach. The first dive was a check out - sort of ho hum. Second dive was fantastic! It let us get 2 dives in at a new location...
We went to the Caribbean with a few friends who wanted to try a DSD. The dive op had me (experienced diver), a refresher diver who had been out of the water for 10 years, and three discover divers. 45 minutes of land instructions, then a shore dive into a 10' open water bay (with no waves or...
Diver image? Looking cool before I get in the water? Hardly! At a certain age, I had developed enough self confidence not to worry about it.
I'm a portly grandma who has been diving since the 70's. Other than a (relatively speaking) newer backplate and wing to replace a harness and horse...
When we were there this Spring for 2 weeks, they picked up the cruise ship divers and took them in a van to various beaches. The house reef was mainly accessed by the folks staying in the apartments. Honestly, I think every op on the island "caters to the cruisers" to some extent. The biggest...
Near town, consider Atlantis Dive apartments. Very nice, modern, walking distance to a grocery store, near restaurants. You can dive with them. Apartments are on the water - fall in & go outside the break for the house reef. The other dive shop I'd recommend on that side of the island is...
We have a cruise ship stop in Martinique on a Sunday. We'll have our dive gear with us. We will be at Fort de France. Can anyone tell me about diving there? I can't seem to find much.
We are both English speakers with virtually no French, so I'm looking for a shop where we can at least...
Giffenk, I've been diving for 37 years, so I have a few more than a few dives on my hubby. :-) I am staying pretty low key about it.
He's already looking into warm weather diving back home in the US, so this is looking good!

After 29 years of marriage, my husband has decided to join me diving!!!
He finished his referral dives2 weeks ago in Curacao, and we went on to dive 2 or 3 times a day since. He is a natural. :-)
He decided to finish AOW with PADI so he could join me on most dives we would consider in the...
My basic dive course in the 1970s used US Navy dive tables and had us "do the math" on gases for the physics. The course included calculating deco - all on air, of course.

Curacao has fantastic shore diving (like Bonaire), easier entries, and activities in Willemstad for non-divers. Better yet, it is outside of the usual hurricane zone.
