    Poor diving techniques I noticed during this week's trip.

    In Miami, nothing will stop them from running you over.

    DAN insurance coverage for non diving activities

    I just renewed mine and I know it says that is covers other water sports and lists what it does cover but I get the most expensive one, not sure about the other two.

    Poor diving techniques I noticed during this week's trip.

    Well as a very new diver I have no business telling anyone what to do but I have always appreciated being told 1. that I can do something better or another way 2. if something was unsafe that I was doing, I'd want to know what and why .... so as I can only speak for myself, I feel that I'm in...

    Where should we eat in Grand Cayman?

    We really enjoyed Seven Mile Burger (cheap side) and Copper Falls Steakhouse (more on the upper end side).

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls III

    Ok thanks for the tip. Hadn't thought it was such a busy park, will have to plan this for another day, perhaps after summer. Once my partner gets lay of the land (and probably before) we should be fine without but in my very new diver opinion, its nice to go out with people familiar so they can...

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls III

    :eek::eek::eek::eek: Ok so maybe that weekend won't be the best idea! Thanks, having never been didn't know what to expect. Thanks for the tip. Question, is it just packed with divers or is an intracoastal beach that popular? OK thanks yean, I'll pass, I get the point! LOL I feel like a...

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls III

    Are there any official guided dives from any shops for BHB or do you have to request that privately? Or is this more a just go by yourself? Wanting to maybe try it out for memorial day weekend so just curious

    The terrible feeling of " Not enough air "

    Everyone does what they feel is best for them with but coming from someone with allergies that knows all about being stuffy, I'd rather loose the hundred bucks for the dive than have any issues. To each their own. Everyone has to know their body and tolerance.

    What do Open water divers struggle with the most?

    I have to say that instructor plays a huge role or at least it did for me. This was on my mind long before the actual class time, so it was mental for me, having to remove mask, reg etc. The first time we were in the pool and had to pull our regs out of our mouth, mentally I was like AHH, but...

    The terrible feeling of " Not enough air "

    Bolding mine: I may be wrong here but this is bad advise. If you have the need to take an OTC decongestant "severe cold and flu" before you dive then you should not be diving that day.

    The terrible feeling of " Not enough air "

    I will have to look more into this. Makes sense. OP - Something similar (but not nearly as intense) happens to me on the first dive after I haven't done it in a while. Not so much the need to ascend but the quick short shallows breaths like if I can't breathe. I usually run thru my air pretty...

    One Tank Dives

    I'm past the bonine. I went back to dramamine in Grand Cayman and was ok (but again only did one tank). The last dive or well time on a boat that i did bonine, I think mentally I already associate the taste of it with severe sickness (I think I have the chewables) and just the taste alone screws...

    One Tank Dives

    Well I am now catching up on the thread, some funny stuff and some very useful LOL To address the most recent issue, no UTI issues,, just cold and seasickness but its true for females but in any case, no issues here so not too worried about sitting in a wetsuit all day... As for that part...

    Lost Camera - Cayman Islands (Big Tunnels)

    That's a good idea too! Wondering if a sharpie will work the same, if I write my phone on there. My email is the same so I guess it would work like yours! and thank you!!! I feel extremely lucky, trust me!

    Lost Camera - Cayman Islands (Big Tunnels)

    Thanks, yes I used to do this with my gopro and lock that pic so it couldn't be deleted, thankfully i never lost it. But in this case, I forgot memory card, and wasn't attentive to doing this and like everything, the one time you don't do it, and it got lost!! When I get it back I am also...

    One Tank Dives

    I looked briefly because I am at work but it looks like they do single tank a few times a week including Saturday morning. This is awesome! thanks for the info.

    One Tank Dives

    First off thanks to everyone on the suggestions on where and what shops, Since summer is coming I will definitely look into those. Arcticat99: I am currently using just a scubapro skin thing ( I like to be covered!) so it's just a thin full suit type thing: The thing is, I don't really get cold...
