I've been out of diving for a while, but a friend of mine went to Coz recently on a cruise ship and I told them to look up Christi with Blue XT Sea and they said they couldn't find them. Have they moved or did my friend just not look in the right place?

I've heard about great spring dives in Florida but don't have any information on them. I'd like to find out more about them. Where they are in Florida, what the dives are like there, etc. Are there any good sites for finding out more about these dives? I'm not completely stuck on spring...

A few of us are headed down to dive the Comal this weekend and wondered where to get air fills down there? We know of the dive shop in San Marcos, but are there any closer to the Comal? Thanks.

My GF's son would like to get OW certified and we were hoping that he could do his class/pool work in Dallas and travel to San Marcos to do his check out dives in the training area of Spring Lake. Do any of you in that area know of PADI shops in that area that will take referral dives to Spring...

We are setting up a family trip to Coz this year and have a few 12 year olds that want to dive. We are looking for an op that can get them out on some shallower dives. Say like Columbia Shallows and Paradise Reef maybe as a two tank trip? Can anyone recommend a dive op that does anything like...

My daughter was with some friends over the holidays and overheard a story from a recent cruise the friends went on. They said the father, two sons and a daughter went scuba diving in either Cozumel or Jamaica. The kids are aged like 11, 12, 14 or around there and had no prior scuba training...

The BCD section has become consumed with discussion about BP/W's. It is to the point that you can't get advice on non BP/W questions there anymore. Any request for information about non-BP/W BCDs is met with 10 responses of "you should get a BP/W." Most of the non-BP/W users have quit...

A question to you wingers out there: Does the appearance of a wing dictate quality? What makes me ask this is the difference in appearance between the wings on the BCDs I own. My daughter has a Zeagle Brigade and I have a Dive Rite Transpac with a Travel Wing. The Travel wing seems to sit...

I'm a warm water newbie that doesn't dive anything colder than 65 degrees generally. If I wanted to dive colder, is a drysuit my next step? Why is dry better than more layers of neoprene? How cold can you comfortably dive in a drysuit?

Dang, please delete this one.

The BP/W get, so we need one...

http://www.nemo33.com/index_en/gallery2.html 86 degree water, 110 feet, diving bells, that looks like a complete blast.

I'm just curious as its hard to get a gauge just reading through the posts. Who's your favorite BP/W maker and if you feel like it, tell us why as well. If you mix and match plates and wings (or use another manufacturer), please check other and provide info on that setup and preferably why you...

Since this forum has essentially become the BP/W section. Let's try this the other way... When should someone use a BCD instead of a BP/W?

Let's say: Diver A is a newbie weighing 250lbs and goes down with an Steel120 filled to 3500psi Diver B is a seasoned DM weighing 98lbs and goes down with an AL80 filled to 3000psi Both are diving air at a depth of 50 feet. After 50 minutes they both surface. Diver A has 500psi in his...

This is a dive I did in a scuba park last weekend. It pretty much consisted of playing around a sunken airplane. I am interested to hear your thoughts on it. www.elliscountyequine.org/images/dive3.xls Thanks in advance.

I have a Dive Rite Transpac and really like it as a BCD. Depending on my diving, I need different amounts of weight to get down. For warm fresh water, I dive in a rashguard and need 2lbs to get down. For saltwater trips to Cozumel, I dive in a 3mm and need around 18lbs to nail the safety stop...

First of all, I like the majority of the features on this computer, but there are a couple issues that are quite annoying to deal with when diving it. My main two complaints with this computer are: 1. Link loss I have the transmitter on the right side of the reg and the computer on a...

I wanted to post this as a heads up to Oceanic. My GF purchased a new GT3 and liked it until it start "wheezing." She returned it and got another GT3 which also started this wheezing. It made her concerned enough to go with another brand all together. This may be an isolated thing, but I...

Are there stats to prove this? Was there an increase/decrease? Did it stay the same?
