Hello all, It occurs to me that I've never seen, or heard discussed, any formalized training for underwater hand signal communication. I know that some guides and instructors are much better at it than others, and I've even met guides who can seemingly transmit complete sentences directly into...

Hello professional dive world! Tomorrow is the last day of my PADI Divemaster course and I'll be doing my first guided dives under observation. I'm excited and a bit nervous, guessing all the normal feelings. Background, I've got about 600 dives over the past eight years, 500 of which are in...

This is probably the wrong forum to post this in, but as the Sea Spanners were of Kiwi manufacturer, I thought maybe I'd try here first. Anyone have one they'd be willing to sell? Friend of a friend of a friend?? I'd be willing to pay a pretty penny. Would need to be shipped internationally...

Hello all, I'm going to be out in Florida visiting friends next month, down in the Keys, and I can probably squeeze in an extra week for some diving. It doesn't have to be in the Keys, I can go anywhere in state. I like large pelagic life and interesting terrain features... swim throughs...

Bought new two years ago, put about 50 dives on them, and then switched over to a Jet style fin which are required for the GUE classes I'm taking. I loved the Seawings... great propulsion and comfortable for my feet. Hope to find them a good home.

Hello all, I just got a new H8 to take on a trip to Tulum & Cozumel next month. I had been planning to buy a Backscatter Flip 7 when I got my new GoPro, but come to find out the H8 requires a new underwater housing because they changed the lens port, and the Flip 7 won't work with it. The...

Hello all, I'm headed down to Costa Rica this weekend for 2-3 weeks. Looking for some good places to dive from Sep 15-28. I'll have a car and be able to travel. Liveaboards are not an option with this late notice. I hear that the Bat Islands are great, and I'm hoping to give them a try, but...

Hello all, We've got a dive buddy that is getting married in October, and a few of us want to take him on a little trip to Mexico beforehand. We're hoping to see some Whale Sharks. If possible we'd much prefer to encounter them "by chance" on dives, than participate in some fiasco with dozens...

Hello all, I'm going to be spending the month of January 2020 in Cozumel, PDC, and Tulum, and I understand there are a number of GUE instructors in Tulum. I've got a group of 3-4 people all interested in doing a GUE Fundamentals class sometime in the latter half of that month, though I don't...

We're having a family Christmas vacation at Now Jade Resort this year and about half of our group is interested in trying diving out for the first time. I see it's only 45 minutes down to PDC so I figure there must be lots of operations there that could accommodate us. It will be four adults...

Tell me why I'm crazy, but I'm pretty excited about this... Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K | Blackmagic Design It costs $1,300. It shoots 2160p@60fps. It's got 13 stops of dynamic range. It shoots a variety of excellent existing lenses. And there are companies building underwater...

Hello all, My girlfriend and I are planning to head to Cozumel after our family Christmas holiday ends on the 28th of December this year (2019). We're thinking of spending at least a couple weeks there, and doing daily dives. We're both AOW divers. We've only got 100+ dives each but we're...
