We have somewhere in the neighborhood of a 125 dives with AOW and nitrox. Its not go big or go home but it's nice to have some nurse sharks and other things in the mix. Liveaboards are probably not in the equation at the moment but hopefully some day. From your description of Coz that is the...

Most of our diving is in a quarry in Illinois or the Florida Keys and we just got back from Curaçao. We really enjoyed the Coral, walls but missed the bigger things like sharks, rays, turtles and even just the bigger fish. Is there a destination in the Caribbean or Mexico that combines those 2...

Thanks for all the great advice. @Jayfarmlaw and @drrich2 your trip reports are the ones that sold us on Sunscape and Curaçao. We plan on using the house reef to really up our dive count. Most of our trips are spent driving and having to meet others schedules. Can't wait to dive the house reef.

What are the entries like for the shore diving? My wife has a bad knee that doesn't handle slippery rocks or going down hill carrying scuba gear very well. We are planning on doing most of our dives with Ocean Encounters and the house reef, maybe a day or 2 with the dive bus.

Plug ins are the same. And we are not renting a car. Resort offers a shuttle service.

We leave for Curaçao soon and will be staying/ diving at Sunscape. This is our first time diving outside of the states. Just looking for any must see must do places on the island, anything you would do differently on your trip, anything you wish you would of packed?

She has tried mine, hates the crotch strap so that is out.

She has no problem with the shop it is coming from, they offer refunds. Not sure where the mess is.

I'm not sure how the location matters, if the bcd is quality or junk it is the same all over.

Just regular rec diving, I'm just getting her a gift certificate but when she goes to pick it out I was just wondering if there is a brand who's quality should be avoided.

I am looking to get my adult daughter a bcd for Christmas this year, are there any brands that should be avoided?

Maiden voyage today. Worked great and couldn't be happier with the new rig.

We usually dive in the keys anywhere from mid July to mid August.

I don't have a ton of experience but I have been on the Duane for 4 trips and the Spiegle 4 trips, the Vandy twice. We have been lucky and the conditions have always been very good. From my understanding the Vandenberg can get sporty with the currents and one of our dives the viz dropped from 80...

I like to claim that we want to relax on our trips but we always end up diving as much as we can, usually 4-5 dives a day and then we end up exhausted and just want an easy dinner and a quiet place to have a drink or two before we pass out and do it all over again. We will probably end up doing...

I absolutely do not need AI, but would like to be able to walk to dinner or hit up something easy after diving.

Is this still for sale? Is the price U.S$ or CAD$?

We made 2 trips down to Key Largo this year. We went for a week in August, flights where empty, hotel was half full, dive boats with Rainbow Reef seemed ok, some trips it was busy, others not so much, did 2 dives out of Key West and that boat only had 8 people on it. Went down again for a long...

Until we know the world is going to be open for travel we haven't set a date but at this point I would guess not until summer 2022.

Thanks for the replies, walking distance restaurants and a house reef are pretty high on the list, a decent house reef for easy afternoon diving is a big selling point.
