Looking for a canister for PLB + car keys. Price looks similar between them. However Dryfob doesn't include any kind of attachment. Anyone recommend how to attach it since it doesn't include one like custom divers?

Hi all, I was recently nitrox certified. I understand the NDL/MOD implications for individual dives, but am a little confused on continued oxygen exposure over multiple dives. I realize oxygen is not the same as nitrogen accumulation, but I'm trying to debate this guideline: SDI states that...

Looking to head to GC for around 5 days or so. Probably want to dive maybe 3 days of that and take it easy the other days. I'm headed with a friend that's also a diver, but she wants some lazy beach time as well. Safest to stay near 7 mile beach? Or should we look into the "better" diving...

Is august too close to hurricane season? I believe september is the peak hurricane season in most of central america / caribbean. Not sure how risky it would be to do a trip in August. Also not sure if the Tulum cenotes would be affected, or only cozumel which has coastal exposure.

I'm a solo diver that's looking to join groups of other divers, but am pretty flexible on when I can go. What sites, newsletters, or other memberships have you seen offer the biggest discounts on dive trips that include dives+accommodations? I don't need an all-inclusive, but would like to...

Hi all, Looking for anyone that would be interested in sharing accommodations for some diving around April or May of this year. Just looking to dive for a couple of days + cenotes, deco, and head home after. Cheap accommodations are fine!

Hi all, this is a bit of a lazy post, but I thought I'd start collecting some feedback as I research. I'm looking to do a short trip (maybe 4 days), and was considering Grand Cayman as an option. If you had to keep your trip really short, which part of GC would you focus on? (Or are there...

Curious what price to aim for with an oceanic geo 2. I've given up on deep6 releasing anything in the next year and just want to get something to dive with this year. Open to other suggestions as well that (a) are under $200 or so and (b) have at least 2 buttons. Prefer buhlman alg.

Hi all, I'm looking around for really basic/cheap medical evac insurance to add on top of DAN. The main problem is only the top tier DAN plan ($125) offers the 100k evac insurance. I have regular health insurance, but that doesn't cover evac while traveling. Can anyone recommend a cheap...

Hi all, I've been reading on here for a bit among the locations, but was wondering about which location would be best for a beginner. - Sodwana bay sounds good, but is too far out of my route to visit - Aliwal shoal sounds cool, but I heard that the currents can be very ripping, and combined...

Hi all, While I'm not hurting for money, I like to save up my PTO for long vacations every year. I'm looking for ways to do some quick trips to dive on over 3-4 day weekends. Since it will be a limited amount of time, I don't want to spend excessive amounts of money on short trips. I'm in...

Hi all, I'm looking to plan out some vacation dives over the next few years. As most people know these trips aren't cheap. I'm also a beginner diver (AOW, but we all know that doesn't mean much). What dive sites would you say have the best sites with the least difficulty? i.e. Not super...

Hey all, I'm a solo traveler and interested in doing a last minute dive trip to Key Largo over 4th of july weekend next week. Is anyone headed there and interested in splitting costs on accommodations? (open to hotel/airbnb/etc)

Hi all, I'm looking for a quick short memorial day weekend trip to head to with a friend. Which location would be the best balance of cost, easy diving (I only have 17 dives under my belt), and stuff to do for a friend that is a non-diver. The common recommendations near north america seem to...

Hi all, I'm looking for someone to join for a short 3-4 day weekend sometime this spring or summer to keep up to date on my diving skills. About me: In the DC area, and a beginner with an AOW (around 17 dives at the moment). Looking for a fairly easy rec dive with good visibility, no strong...

Does anyone have a recommended video on improving trim? I'm sure that I often end up fairly vertical while diving, though would need video or someone else in person to see my true technique. Maybe something from GUE or DIR? (if that makes sense for a beginner)

Hi all, For those of you with your own boats, and especially those near saltwater, which anti-corrosion products do you use? My parents make a few bucks on the side selling Corrosion Block (http://www.nocorrosion.com), but I'm curious what other products people have had success with. We're...

Hi all, I'm likely headed to puerto rico for work, and could take a single day for myself. Apparently one of the better spots in PR is in the SW where the wall dives along the continental shelf exist. Do you consider these higher risk for a beginner? (bottom can reach 1000 feet+). Not sure...

Hi all, My work is sending me to San Juan for a few days, but I have the opportunity to fly in a bit early (Friday afternoon), and take the day Saturday to explore. Accounting for: (a) drive time, and (b) the fact that I'm only a beginner diver (17 dives with AOW, not that the AOW means much)...

Hi all, I'm a recreational diver with only 17 dives done, but really enjoy it. I plan to dive at least once per year on vacation, and maybe 1 other long weekend trip. About me: - Plan to never do tech diving. Will stay within 30m and NDL limits always unless something goes wrong. - May try...
