No, I didn't receive a response yet. I'll forward my email to you. I know the timing is short, but I figure it's worth a shot! Thank you ScubaWithTurk!

Thank you Searcaigh. I'll see what they have to say.

I recently received my PADI OW certification and will be visiting Khasab later this month on a cruise. I'd like to make a dive or two that morning, but time is a little tight - I'll probably be off the ship ~8:30 and need to be aboard by ~12:30. I'd like to hire a dive master to be my buddy...

I've been following this thread with interest as I recently completed my PADI Open Water certification in December (yay me!) and plan on doing some vacation diving next month. I would very much like for one of the dive shop's instructors or dive masters be my buddy until I've gotten enough...

I didn't know that! That's great to know. Thank you very much!

Thanks for the advice. Does anyone know if the NYC LeisurePro store has an extensive selection? I HATE shopping and would like to be able to just bite the bullet and find something acceptable in one trip!

I recently received my OW certification and am interested in purchasing my own wetsuit and possibly, BCD next. Can anyone recommend any shops in the central NJ or NYC area with a really good selection to help me find a good fitting, comfortable suit? Bechi

I'm heading to Utila in Honduras to get my certifications, which, like Roatan, is one of the Bay Islands. Utila Dive Center, the shop I'm diving with, offers 7 nights standard hotel room, 4 dives per day, 2 night dives, breakfast and dinner, Utila airport/ferry transfers to hotel and dive...

Not 100% sure on the dive computer, but without any knowledge, I'm not really comfortable shelling out a few hundred bucks on something to find out with a little experience I would have purchased something different. I'll check with UDC to see if they include computers in their OW and AOW courses.

The swim cap is a great idea! I already have one of these - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0027M90G4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1, which I use for swimming laps. My hair, regardless of how long or short it is ALWAYS ends up in my face! I'm not sure how much equipment I want...

Oh wow! Great advice! I'll look into all of these. Keep them coming please! Thanks!

Anyone have any "hindsight is 20/20" tips they'd like to share? I'm heading to Utila later this year to get my OW & AOW certifications. I did a discovery dive earlier this year that impressed upon me the value of a dry bag. Any other items I may want to bring along that I'll be glad of later...

Thanks everyone. I already purchased my OW & AOW courses with Utila Dive Center and want to do my coursework with them, so I have everything covered already. I just find the idea of taking my time with all of the theory and then going over it again in the classroom later as a refresher to be...

I'm planning a trip to Utila in a few months to pursue my PADI Open Water and Advanced Open Water certifications (Intro to SCUBA 101 & 102, as I see it). I did a full-day Discovery Dive earlier this year and enjoyed it enough to where I'd like to repeat the experience and be able to book dive...
