    Another noob here!

    Oh, great, so are we. We'll have to get together and dive sometime. Have you looked into (or joined) NC PDRA? We've been members for several years and love it.

    Roatan dive op reccomendations

    Actually, it is the marine park in Coz where they are not allowed. I should have been more specific. For line cutters that are allowed, these are better than knives. I have one of these attached to my BCD chest strap. Scuba line cutters

    Roatan dive op reccomendations

    Thanks, DogDiver. I've never been to CCV so didn't know if they did or not. I hope to go someday. Our LDS does a trip there annually but the timing has just not fit our schedule yet. We have been to AKR twice and they do have day trips for cruisers. It's possible that is where the dive...

    Hello from North Carolina

    Although you weren't asking me, NADCO on Gate City Blvd. Is great for certification. Randy and his son Dolph are great guys and instructors. You can google NADCO for their website and info.

    Suunto Vyper going crazy after battery change

    It may be fine if it is behaving at the moment. However, at the age that it is, if it were me, I'd be shopping for a new computer. It would be terrible to go on a dive trip and have it freak out on the firs dive. Then you'd have to rent one that you would probably be unfamiliar with...

    Equipment Gas toxicity blamed for Chinese fatality - Batangas, Philipines

    Yeah, it's not like we haven't seen many incident reports in a news article where the reporter used a term that was inaccurate for scuba diving. And although they think it means the same thing, to us, it takes on a whole new, and confusing, meaning.

    Roatan dive op reccomendations

    I have taken my dive knife both times I've been there. But we stayed on the island both times. But you have to ask yourself, just how often do you need it and/or have to use it. Just like in Coz, they're not allowed there either. So don't risk it, leave it at home, and enjoy your dives. Then...

    Roatan dive op reccomendations

    I've been to Roatan twice, in 2021 and agan last year. By my on experience, the reefs looked better last year than in '21. There was more color in the reefs and there was a lot more sea life, especially young fishes. But that being said, I don't think the Caribbean as a whole is anywhere near...

    Suunto Vyper going crazy after battery change

    Unfortunately, I think that is what typically happens when the depth sensor goes belly up. It could have been the very act of changing he battery that caused it to go over the edge. I would suggest removing the battery, what 24 hours, and reinstall it to see if it still does it just in case it...

    Roatan dive op reccomendations

    Honestly, I don't know what rental equipment goes for in Roatan since we always take our own, but considering that the excursion pricing does include transportation to and from the dock, it probably isn't too bad for the package. You may be able to do it for less money booking yourself, though...

    Welcome to Scubaboard. Lots of scuba knowledge and information here. Where in central NC are you?

    Roatan dive op reccomendations

    Yeah, the problem is that the cruise line may not know which port they will dock at until just before arrival. It makes it difficult to plan ahead. Have you checked for excursions with the cruise line? If they have dive excursions available, that may be your best bet as they would be...

    Roatan dive op reccomendations

    A whole lot will depend on which port where they actually dock. The Coxen Hole dock is only about 15 minutes from West End whereas mahogany bay is east of French Harbor and will take 30-45 minutes depending on traffic in town and road construction between Coxen Hole and West End. Getting to...

    Question How to clean the shield on Suunto Vyper

    It just snaps on and off. Just pop it off and clean it, then snap it right back on.

    Roatan vs Utila

    Caribe Tesoro is at the north end of West Bay beach. West Bay Beach is 1 kilometer long and is rather nice with resorts lining pretty much the entire length of it. It is a short water taxi ride from West Bay to West End. Personally, my wife and I like Half Moon Bay in West End better than...
