What is the vis like mid-April?

We are trying to make a last minute April vacation. We have debated Utila because we would love to snorkel with whale sharks. Does April bring weather that would make it less likely to be able to go to the North side, or is it just a random kind of thing?

Is there a pattern to seeing whale sharks off SPI Texas? Certain months... or even like Belize where you see them 3 days before a full moon to 3 days after during certain months? Thanks y'all

I have recently started french braiding my hair. It has worked so much better for me than pony with a braid. I put on lots of mousse and french braid it. You can roll up the tail and put another ponytail holder on it at your neck if you are warm water diving, but drysuit diving is better to...

I have never heard/seen Diva cup so I can't comment. I also haven't been diving while that time of the month. However I use Softcup Insteads disposable while wake boarding during the summer because we go every weekend we are off it never fails that I will be on at some point in time. I am not...

I have been taking photos for a couple years, but never quite sure how to edit them, so I haven't. I have some great shots, but some still have the blue water hue to them. iPhoto sharpens the pics a little but doesn't get the blue out completely. I have seen some amazing things coming from...

We had our LDS send it back. Thank you!

My husband and I each have an Aladin 2g dive computer. We have had them 2 years and mine still has 90% battery life. However my husband's quit working. I took it to our LDS which services our gear and they changed the battery and everything was working fine. I watched it automatically shut off...

Neoprene vs tri-lam…pros and cons, as well as durability?? I know that asking 10 people about what Drysuit they like I'll get 10 different answers so give me some input on the good and bad about neoprene and tri-lams. Purpose we are getting a drysuit is to dive in water around 50 degrees. Thanks

These things are in the course curriculum so it's safe to bet that with the exception of instructors who are cutting corners, it is taught. There seems to be a glaring issue, though that even though people are made aware of this, taught the skills to do proper weighting and told why it's...

Thanks y'all!! I was assuming dry suit, but not knowing the area I wasn't sure. I will continue researching dry suits and try to get one asap so we can get some water time in them before making the trip. I want to enjoy the diving not be frustrated because I'm cold!! I have heard some people...

I have been told by some people that I could get by diving Monterey area in the middle of Dec. with a 7mm wetsuit and 5mm hooded vest. I have been looking into dry suits. If I go dry suit I really want to get it soon so I can get out and get use to it before traveling. My husband and I are...

Does anyone frequent any shops that boat dive during the week in Dec??? I have been doing a lot of research and so far I've been told by a couple shops they don't anticipate getting the 6 divers they require to be able to go out. I have also researched some of the live aboard boats and they...

My OWC was in a lake in Illinois with water temps around 58-62F and outside temps of 33F. I have an understanding of what the water will be like and the extreme differences between my certification dives versus what I have been recently logging. I have read a lot of concerns by California...

We are planning a full week in California and all we have planned is to dive. We haven't set a specific location yet because we weren't sure where the best spots to dive would be. We have not done any cold water diving as of yet. We are up for both shore diving and boat diving. All of our...

We are planning a trip to Southern California the middle of Dec. Recommendations for where to dive? What to expect to see? Recommendations for dive shops to contact? We are not set on a specific location yet.

Any suggestions for settings for underwater video for someone that does not use any programs for correcting? I am totally new to the GoPro. Just purchased the Hero3 Black edition and want the best video I can get without any touch up. I will be diving in Roatan. Any suggestions would be...

So would it be better to run two Sola 1200 photo lights or two of the iTorch Pro4's with the GoPro for photos and video?

Great photos!! I am looking at strobes right now for my canon s95. Have you had any problems with the YS-01?
