    Best Shore Diving

    Absolutely agree with everything said here - Bonaire is the best for shore diving (and having dived all over I reckon amongst the best diving in the world) but I didn't agree with this statement. They do love to bust into cars BUT they do love to bust into cars to rob stuff (or at least to throw...

    Tsunami divers

    I just found this description of Emerald Cave: "Emerald Cave on the west coast of Muuk Island can be reached only by boat and has an entrance on the bottom of high-rising cliffs which is narrow but wide enough for boats to pass through during low tide. However, most visitors prefer to swim...

    Bonaire or Cabo San Lucas/La Paz

    Bonaire is easily the best dive destination I have ever been too. The life was fantastic and the amount of plant, sponge and reef life wonderful. But what I found best of all was that you could shore dive, shore dive, shore dive forever and ever. No expensive boat trips necessary and every day...

    Sudafed and Oxygen Toxicity

    Nice links - Dear God! So it seems that these statements in our Padi scuba manuals are based on no solid scientific experimentation and/or case study analysis! No association or cause and effect relationship between pseudoephedrine and CNS oxygen has never even been established and the...

    Sudafed and Oxygen Toxicity

    Heh there medical peeps, :doctor: Wonder if I can ask for a few opinions. I have always found that if I take a Sudafed the night before a dive (or even some days before) it makes ear equalisation sooooo much easier for me - both during and after diving. Now, I am just about to do...

    Where are you From?

    :whoa: Woah - more Scuba Source Texans than Europeans huh. Of course - with about half the population of the UK and only 72 votes, that's not so unbelievable :stupid: Nice to see us all together in hobby. :balloon: Fond Regards to you all.

    Wet suit and BC recomendations...

    This thread was helpful, I too have been searching for a BCD and wetsuit and I finally got to try a diva on the other day (and you're all right it's damn comfortable and fit me like a glove). I was interested in the LadyHawke alternative since I don't have huge boobs :embarr: and found the...

    What's the A in A/TX?

    Hiya, Although my dive shop recommended the Mares MR12 Axis, I've been trying to do my homework (looking around the threads etc.) but I can't find anywhere what the difference is between the Axis ATX (say 50) and the TX. I was looking at pricing up kit and scubastore have a decent package...

    Caribbean Confusion

    Many thanks SubM. for the excellent agency that you recommended - they do have some good deals and you're right - further investigation seems to indicate that we could afford Bonaire - although maybe not (unfortunately at Buddy Dive). I'm still looking - fingers crossed for Bonaire! :tree...

    Caribbean Confusion

    Hello all, I hope you can help. I am looking for a two-week holiday in August somewhere in/near the US that is a 'special' place to dive, but also provides a "nice" holiday (for non divers). I have been reading through these forums with interest and I am pleased that I've found such a...
