Made a last minute trip to Aruba for a week. Didn’t bring any dive stuff since this is more of a family trip with my newborn. With that said, I was wondering if it was worth the money to dive out here. If so, what dive op you recommend? I’m here now. Feel free to tell me it isn’t worth it...

Where should I stay in Providenciales? Traveling with a 4 month old baby girl. Want to be by the beach (walking distance) with bar service for my wife. Also, want to get a few dives in again. What Dive Op should I look into? I'm reading a lot about French Cay and that is the best dive area in...

Going to Kona this weekend for a week. I wanted to know how the diving is outside of the Manta Night Dive, which I have already booked. Is the shore diving any good in the Kona area? If so, what do you guys recommend I check out? Also what other boat dive sites are there, kinda curious? Other...

Looking for pointers from Big Island Vets. Going to the Big Island to explore with my wife for 5 days. We are landing in Kona and plan to have Kona be our home base. We both dive, but she will be sitting this one out and be snorkling since she will be 5 months pregnant. With that said, I will...

If I am staying in Providenciales, is it possible to do a day trip dive to Grand Turk, or would I need to stay on the island of Grand Turk to do that? I'm hearing all the good dive spots are in Grand Turk. In other words, are there dive ops that take you to Grand Turk dive sites from...

So I head to Belize in 3 weeks and I want to do some great diving. My buddy went to Belize 2 years ago and he said the great diving is in Turneffe reef/Lighthouse. I would love to dive there, but I'm hearing it's like 1.5+ hours each way to get there from cc unless you want to fork up the $$$ to...

I'm a recreational diver and dive Nitrox a lot and I'm currently in the market to purchase a regulator. I was wondering, do all regulators work with Nitrox gas or does the reg have to be Nitrox compatible. Are there regs that are designed specifically for nitrox? Pardon the ignorance. Clueless...

Me and my wife have been diving for a while now. After our recent diving trip to Grand Cayman, we realized that renting equipment isn't the way to go on these scuba trips. We could've been well on our way to owning our own equipment after dive trips to Cozumel (3x), GC, Thailand, etc... It's...

I have a flight booked to go down November 3rd for a week. I'm targeting Ambergris Caye or Caye Caulker. I want to avoid it if it's rainy season. I'm reading that Nov. is in the last month window of the rainy season. I have Southwest and they let you switch flights/destinations for free (just...

I'm getting a little confused on how to ascent with Nitrox in relation to decompression limits. I recently got Nitrox certified and I'm still trying to grasp the concept of decompression limits. Is the ascent with air the same as Nitrox? I asked this because I keep getting all these readings on...

So I'm getting lost on what to input for partial pressure on my dive computer when diving Nitrox. I took my Nitrox course over 2 years ago and haven't dove till recently so I'm a little rough along the edges. How do you calculate this? I'm lost after entering the Nitrox mixture.

So I read a few threads on here that said for GoPro lighting, due to it being a wide lens, you will need 2 lights for better coverage. I also read that you need at least 2000+ lumens or you're wasting your time. I didn't want to break the bank on Sola Light & Motion light since each light would...

Greetings. I have about 50+ dives under my belt but I’ve always dived with a dive master/guide. I will be going to Grand Cayman next week and I will be doing a few shore dives without a guide.This will be a first for me and my wife. What are the basics of underwater navigation? Any good...

I like making vidoe's of my dives. I dive with a GoPro and always use a red filter. I notice that the red filter works well if the sun is out and the water visibility is good and I'm not past 30' deep. Once I get to 80'-100', everything in my video looks blue, as opposed to green. There really...

Help me decide. I'm about to pull the trigger on either a Cressi Leonardo Wrist Computer ($199) or a Suunto Zoop Air/Nitrox Wrist Computer ($224). Cressi Leonardo Suunto Zoop Air/Nitrox Wrist Computer Which model would you guys go with? I dive about a few weeks out of the year in the...

I’m traveling to Grand Cayman for 4.5 Days. We have decided to stay in West Bay. On one of our days I plan to get up early and make the drive from West Bay to East Bay and do an AM/PM dive with OF. I plan do this on the weekend since I’ve read about the traffic nightmare/cruise ship traffic...

Lighthouse Eden Rock/Devils Grotto How difficult are these shore dives? It seems like they are all 100 yards offshore to get to the good stuff. I have seen a lot of youtube videos where divers are using Sea scooters. How do people usually dive these famous shore dives? If you look at the map...

I'm going to Grand Cayman for 3.5 days for my birthday. Not enough time to go to Cayman Brac or Little Cayman, where I hear there is superior diving. I need to get the best tips for the island. My questions: Where is the best place to stay in Grand Cayman with diving in mind? I'm in the...
