I once dived with Sea Sports Belize when my wife and I joined a SCUBA/cruise ship event. We also dived Roatan and Coz. It seemed like a place you could get some eating and drinking done.

So, now looking at It's on its own island but looks pretty close to Belize City. Doubtful that we would be able to immerse in Belize when we're not diving.

Thoughts and concerns are right on the money. I'll move the focus to dives with shops in locations that have reasonable access to doctors and an airport. I imagine that will narrow it down. We're not likely going unless the need for these resources is remote, but we probably should at least try...

Hoping Stoo will join in here.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've done a liveaboard (Turks & Caicos), it was fab but it's long and when you're not in the water you're on a boat with other folks - all the time. Any other circumstances, and I would look for a liveaboard. Pretty sure we want to do dive shop boats and be able to...

I'm 72, OW, experienced (100+ dives). My brother is being treated for brain cancer (not benign) and has one last dive trip on his bucket list. He has dived Cozumel, didn't like it but wants me to take him to Belize. He is younger and in incredible condition (bicycler). Where would you go? Not...

Cool. Someone let me know if they dive Con Dao? It's where I want to dive and it's close enough by plane from Saigon to make it a dual goal trip.

These are excellent points and I really appreciate the correction. Especially about the seasonal desirability of Phu Ket.

I'm not getting the obvious here - Thailand and Vietnam. Phuket in Thailand is SCUBA central for SEA. Vietnam (Con Dao) is an up and coming place to dive and was just previewed on CNN Go!

... and they have beaucoups gun control, which means ... you are not safe. Be careful: Canadian Couple Attacked Sailing to Roatan : Cruise Law News

Thanks, The Sunday May 31 boat from ScubashackPensacola is already scheduled for the Oriskany. Either we'll have to dive some other Sunday or find some other boat. Pretty sure we're going to reach out to GulfDiver.net and see what we can get. Gary at GulfDiver.net needs to update his website...

What is the correct forum for this (anyone want to dive this wreck?): http://www.weather.com/series/great-outdoors/video/japan-tsunami-boat-is-discovered-off-oregon-coast-with-live-fish-inside

Looking for fellow divers to fill out a Scuba Shack boat the last Sunday in May to dive the Lulu. Who wants to go?

point your browser at the NOAA buoy that sits near the Oriskany and the Lulu. It will have the current temps and may even have historical data.

My Vietnamese friends say the best time to visit Vietnam is Fall. Fares are cheaper. How is the diving on Con Dao then?

Trying to search Scubaboard > Classifieds > Exposure suits for "5mm" (wetsuits). Searches fail. Ugh.

Yes. Rock N Java. I love that place. Staying at the Aldora and diving with them is definitely on my Lionfish Container (bucket) List. I also love the Costa Brava Inn Cozumel across the street. Wonderful gardens and cheap accommodations, a perfect diver's hotel. If all else are full, I...
