Thanks!! For what it's worth, we just returned from the Azores (trip end of June-early July 2022) and were quite disappointed by the diving. I took a 5.5mm semi-dry wetsuit and needed a 5mm vest underneath...suffice it to say that 18C underwater felt more like 15C. Take a 7mm and a vest and a...

We just returned from the Azores (trip end of June-early July 2022) and were quite disappointed by the diving. I took a 5.5mm semi-dry wetsuit and needed a 5mm vest underneath...suffice it to say that 18C underwater felt more like 15C. Take a 7mm and a vest and a hood/headband. It's a VERY windy...

We're looking to book a trip to the Azores and would love your reflections!

How was your trip? Any advice you could give? We're looking to go to the Azores in late June through early July for diving and hiking. Thanks!

In terms of the cutting action, I agree.....however, I recently lost my Cressi Alligator dive knife because it bumped out of its holster....and into a mound of sea grass. I've been bummed since. After looking at the Amazon reviews, this is a known issue. So, if you're going to buy it, be sure to...

Exactly the questions I have; @Topper1972 , I would love to know how safe you felt in the area. I'm not thrilled to be trapped in a hotel with their food, but I want to be safe, too. Would love your perspective.

Cool; everyone has their own opinion. Generally from my experience, most dive shops have very good, standard BCDs for rent and give you a competitive price when renting. The computers are OK, but sometimes quit. Since he disclosed he is a new diver, thereby acknowledging he won't know the dive...

We always hand carry our regulators and have never had a problem flying through the US, Germany, Greece, Spain, and Cancun. Your pal flying through Manila may have had a one off looking for cash. All Tsa agents we have encountered in Florida, Illinois, Texas, and Georgia no longer ask for a...

Capsfan22 is right and exactly what I recommend to all new divers! Buy yourself a dive computer; it's the most important gear you will risk your life on. ..why rent something you've never used? They are so much more affordable now and I have the scubapro Aladin one and my husband has the later...

Check out the Zeagle Stiletto!! It's light weight, comfortable, and you won't find other brands with the same, high quality customer service lifetime guarantee!

No matter what, don't buy a BCD without first trying it. It's an expensive investment made to last for your foreseeable dive experiences. It took me 4 years to fall in love with my Zeagle Stiletto; I love it for its comfort, lightweight, versatility, and NO questions asked lifetime guarantee...

We continue to use ourGoPro Hero (yes, the original!). When diving, you'll need to invest in a few extras like the red filter and something to stabalize the grip. My husband made ours from metal and rigged it to get lights on. You certainly need something to stabalize the video otherwise you'll...

So, you're wondering whether to haul your dive gear to Crete for diving while on a vacation? Let's start with expectation management. If you are going on a scuba holiday and you insist on the Mediterranean, you're better off in Gozo, the sister island of Malta. There are many small fish typical...

It really depends on where on the island you will be. For example, I split my 18-day vacation in half, diving the north from Kalyves and diving the south from Sfakia. I HIGHLY recommend you stick to diving in the north. The south had some decent diving, but there was much more activity in the...

Gerbs, What thickness suit do you dive with in June (please say 3mm)? Thanks!

Just our luck! Thanks!

Can everyone tell me the September dates and weather you experienced? I keep reading warnings that September is the rainy season.... TIA!

Christian, How was your dive? We just got back from Gran Canaria and our scuba adventures were pretty underwhelmed. As seasoned divers, we are accustomed to diving around a LOT of fish, something we refer to as a 'fish soup.' While we see a couple of brief videos for Gran Canaria's "fish...
