    Nitrox?

    I'm a fairly new OW diver (26 dives) and was recently diving in Curacao on a cruise. The DM asked if I was nitrox certified. Said it would help with extending time under water even if not AOW (which I dont plan on doing due to time and expense, I dont live near water, I dive on cruises only)...

The credits state that it was filmed on location in the ocean. What intrigued me since I've only been diving for a couple years is that the divers basically used...

    St. Maarten dive report

    Was in St. Maarten on the RCI Allure last week and booked a two tank dive through Aqua Mania/Dive Adventures. Their shop is a short walk (10 minutes) from the port.

    Medical release, how long are they good for?

    Theoretically, if I had to answer yes on a medical waiver form for diving and provided a letter from my doctor how long would the letter be good? Months, years, forever?
