Thank you guys for this discussion! My daughter is almost six and loves to be in the ocean. As a diver, I am not too worried about sharks, but due to her young age and extended periods of time on the surface, I have greatly considered buying this product for us to use when we take her...

It looks as though the Beachhopper II still has openings for it's Saturday and Sunday charters, and it is reasonably priced. I am sure that you would be able to find someone on the boat to buddy up with...

May 4-11th- CoCoview Resort Roatan, Honduras

That sounds like so much fun! Now I might be inclined to return to Epcot one day, just to do this dive!

I have the same computer and I noticed that all of my logged dives seem to show my ascent rate as being maxed out or close it. Now I am a very, very conservative ascender. I watch my computer, ascend under my own power with no air in my bc and typically rise slower then all the other divers...

People are ignorant of how fragile our ecosystems are. Great White Sharks are keystone predators. True of all foodchains, if we were to eliminate a keystone predator from the foodchain, there would be untold damage caused, even the possible destruction of the ecosystem. And once the damage is...

I saw this article on Yahoo! and was very upset when I read it. These two acknowledged that brining the shark aboard the boat was illegal, due to their protected staus, but they saw nothing wrong with hooking it and allowing it to pull them and their boat around for several hours?!?! I can...

To address the difficulty in holding your breath while retrieving you gear, yes stopping smoking will greatly address that, but you also want to improve your cardiovascular health so that you can handle the stress of holding your breath while performing tasks. Start doing light cardio, walking...

The harvesting of sea slugs and sea cucumbers for the Chineses is also being performed in Fiji and under some similar circumstances. The pastor at my mother's church travels frequently to Fiji where he pays the locals to dive for these animals and then he sells them to the Chinese. The dive...

They still could have attempted to call her of her boyfriend, who I am assuming she listed as her emergency contact as he went with her. And how many trauma centers in the area could have handled her emergency? They could have gone and met with Scott at the least. I just think that if they had...

I was first OW certified with PADI in 2004. Computers were briefly touched upon and table calculations were heavy. I re-certified in 2012 and while we did focus a lot more on computers, my instructor also covered the tables. We weren't tested on them, but he made sure that we understood how...

miked, I probably should have put somewhere on my profile that I lack a filter, and really, it is a plug, by the butt and it always makes us chuckle when we say it, but yes, I was referring to what is standardly referred to as a "rear dump valve" :D.... and I would with great joy announce I...

Again, my "pre-flight inspection checklist" husband said that I had to remove the little vent on the end of my horseshoe BC before flying with it. Not sure if this is accurate, but it made him happy that I removed it...

My younger sister is interested in getting certified to SCUBA dive. She was born a preemie and had to be intubated, which resulted her having diminshed lung capacity. She has estimated 80% lung capactity. My mother tells me she can not SCUBA dive because my sister has only 80% lung capacity...

One of the things that I noticed from the article, or rather did not notice from the article: did the instructors do any follow-up to their student's condition? From the article we know that they stayed with, and finished instructing, the other students (due to celebatory photograph), but did...

I don't know if this is funny, or just funny to me because it happened to my husband.... A week ago, my best friend and I went diving at our local lake. We had just returned from Hawaii and had removed the butt-plug from the back of our BCs before flying. She made it the hour and a half from...

I just got into the Sea Hunt series and find I would rather spend my evenings watching reruns on my laptop then watch current TV!!! And I have to give a 'bump' to HULU. No subscription needed and I am on episode 22 and still going, so I believe they might have the entire series on there (at...

I had the same experience in the Rescue course! Also, my guy had a booger on his face. Oh, and he is my husband... triple loss....
