Hey guys! I'll be doing a few dives in the keys next month and I've finally decided to purchase a camera. I'd been using my old iPhone5 with a watershot case. It did okay, but I've missed too many awesome shots because I forgot to turn off the autolock feature :facepalm:... the last time this...

First time diving Dutch Springs this weekend... we were supposed to hook up with our friends at Lake Phoenix, but they're in NY so it's too much of a haul for them. Anyway, do I need to reserve a tank ahead of time? It says to call to reserve equipment, but I would think that tanks wouldn't be...

Hubby and I are planning on a weekend at Lake Phoenix June 9th & 10th. We have some friends who should be finished their OW class in the next few weeks. They live on Long Island and probably won’t be able to get their checkout dives done before that weekend, so we were going to see if they could...

Hi everyone! My hubby (buddy) and I are going to be in OBX (staying in Avon) from the 18th-25th. We'd like to charter a trip or join a boat for the week that we'll be down there. We each have about 30 dives and our AOW (max depth has been to 80') but we primarily dive in tropical conditions a...

I know you will probably tell me to call DAN or don't dive... BUT I'm hoping that maybe I can still save my dive! Scheduled to max depth of 13 feet, my husband got me a gift certificate to go diving in a local aquarium for Christmas. Of course I got a cold last weekend, took a ton of vitamins...

I meant to post my last thread in here but mistakenly posted it in more of the main one. Hubby and I are staying in Bargara Beach for a week outside Bundaberg with our 2.5 year old. We were going to do Cairns, but the fewer flights the better after all the travel to get there from the east coast...

Greetings, Looking for guidance on what is mostly a family holiday, hubby and I are vacation divers and dive probably 3 times a year (30 dives so far). We have a son who will be about 3 months shy of three during the trip. We're going to OZ May 13-26th, staying in Coolangatta from the...

Hubby and I are mostly vacation divers - we average two tropical trips a year with a trip or two to the quarry each summer to keep skills fresh. We have a two year old and not much help from family, so can't do as much diving as we'd like. Anyway, all of that said - when I can, I enjoy...

So my first frustration when I found out I was pregnant nearly two years ago now was that I couldn't dive while I was pregnant. Now that my baby is here and I'm loving motherhood, I have a new problem. CHILDCARE. Our son will be one next month and I have yet to put on my wetsuit. :( My husband...

So my husband and I just got certified last summer and were looking forward to getting in a lot of practice diving, both in a few weeks during my week off between jobs --> http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/florida-diving/472193-most-dives-%24%24-florida.html and this summer. Well, that all came...

I'll be changing jobs at the end of January and am taking a week off so that I can go diving over a long weekend (or part of the week). We're thinking of taking 4 or 5 days somewhere between January 17th and 26th. Hubby and I just returned from a group trip in the Dominican last week and were...

My checkout dives were completed on the last weekend of September and I am STILL waiting on my c-card. PADI's website also doesn't have my OW cert showing up in the replacement card search database (although it shows my DSD from May of this year). I'll be bugging the shop about it this week. I...

I'm looking for decent used weight-integrated jacket style BCDs for myself and hubby. We used Sherwood Zodiac Weight Integrated BCDs in class and are looking for something similar to those. Husband is 6'3" and around 240 (~48 chest, waist 36) I'm 5'7" and around 165 (38-30-40) He used an XL...

My husband and I, along with two other couples are going to Puerto Plata in December. One of the guys is certified (although he hasn't been diving in years and is looking for his c card), and one of the couples is not certified but thinks they'll probably do Discover Scuba. I'm trying to...

After nearly six weeks out of the pool, I finally get to do my check out dives for OW this weekend! :D I am SOOO excited. Can't wait to take that # of dives from "None - Not Certified" to "1-25." :dork2: Like all new divers, I want to go out and buy all of the fun new toys. I just got my bonus...

I've been mostly lurking around here for the last few months and thought I should post a formal introduction. So... HI! My name is Lauren! :wavey: Back in May I had my first diving experience - in Australia of all places. I loved snorkeling, but thought that maybe diving wasn't for me as...
