    I only have one day to dive!

    Thanks for the recommendations! I have decided to book Underwater Explorer in Boynton. We are both AOW and Nitrox. Any chance I could stir the Captain toward a particular dive site? If so and depending on conditions, can anyone recommend specific dives in near Boynton? Thanks again...

    I only have one day to dive!

    I will be in S. Florida in early October and can only make one 2 tank dive. This my only S. Florida dive of the year. I need to know the very best choice with both the dive location and the dive operator being considered. I am willing to go from Boca up to Riviera and anywhere in between...

    Why should I bother to get rescue cert?

    I'm thinking about getting my Rescue Diver certification and I really don't know why. I always welcome new challenges, but why do I care enough to do it? I don't want to be a divemaster or work in the dive business. I just love to dive. Maybe I'll feel responsible if anything ever happens...

    Where to stay on Ambergris Caye?

    I need to figure out where to stay. If I can believe tripadvisor, Corona del Mar is a pretty decent place. Any thoughts or alternatives. I've also looked at Xanadu and it looks okay. We have non-diving wives that I want to keep happy as well. I would like to stay somewhere with a beach...

    Belize, Turks or back to the Caymans?

    I need to decide on a location for a week trip in April/May. Along with great diving, I want good beaches, restaurants and shopping for the non-divers. I THINK I've narrowed the search to Belize and Turks, but I could be convinced otherwise. I've never been to either. If you have strong...

    South Florida Charter Help

    I'm looking for recommendations for an upscale liveaboard that leaves from south Florida and cruises through the Bahamas. It doesn't have to be a dive exclusive ship. We will have 8-10 people, several non-divers. Basically, I'm looking to hit a few islands, good diving, food and decent boat...

    help me with key west dive planning

    I just got back from a Key West weekend. Had a great topside adventure from what I remember, but didn't care for the dive. PLEASE at least drive just a few miles up to Looe Key...well worth it! P.S. Eat at Blue Heaven in KW.

    West Palm this Weekend 6/25

    Well, the water was 82 degrees and the morning viz was near 100 ft. Viz decreased throughout the day to about 50-60. I went of both boat trips that day and Pura Vida did a great job. I couldn't ask for much better!

    GC Dive Report - Planning my next trip!

    Just the occasional Reef shark. Ours sightings were sporadic as well, but I was just glad to see them since we weren't in "shark central".

    GC Dive Report - Planning my next trip!

    I'm not going to give you the blow by blow report. But, I will tell you this was one of the best dive trips I've ever had. We stayed at the Discovery Pointe Club.....GASP! that's not on the East End. It's on the north end of seven mile beach....Forgive me! We stayed in a two bedroom...

    West Palm this Weekend 6/25

    Sweeet! I'm back in business. If anyone's diving with Puravida on Sunday, I'll see you there. Don't anyone burst my bubble and say puravida is bad. I've never gone out with them. Thanks for the dive reports!

    West Palm this Weekend 6/25

    I'm diving in West Palm this Sunday. Coming down from Tennessee. I've been reading about low viz and cool water. Should I be bummed or can someone give me a better report. Will I need the 3mm or is a .5 ok? Thanks in advance!

    Key West Diving?

    Thanks for the info. I may try one of those ops.

    Key West Diving?

    I'm going down for a quick weekend with non-divers. I want to sneak off for a two tanker one morning. I will probably have to dive in Key West...no, I can't drive up to Looe (no car). I've never actually done any diving in Key West. Any suggestions on ops or sites. Or, would my time be...

    Get my non-diving wife on a liveaboard

    You've all convinced me to stop trying to get her on the liveaboard. I guess there's really nothing for her to do on one. I'll find another way to get to those hard to find dive sites. She wins...again.

    Get my non-diving wife on a liveaboard

    Not sure I can afford the price of the trade. It would have to be crazy big to get her out for a week or more.
