I have a question. I don't have a lot of extra time to dive and have to plan my dives whenever time allows. (Sometimes when I can't get anyone to dive with me) So A few weeks ago I went on my first (and probably ast) dive trip by myself. When I call for reservations, the Owners of the...

Hi, I have a couple of friends who just got engaged. Joy has always wanted to dive the Great Barrier Reef for her honeymoon. They are going to plan the time of the wedding around when a trip would be best. Just a little more info, they wouldn't want to go when it's all "touristy" but...

Hey, I am planning on getting Nitrox certified sometime within the next couple of months and it's too late to call the dive shop. I was just wondering if anyone knows about how long an SSI nitrox class usually is? Jessica

Ok, I have a question. I have a picture of a shark but I am not sure what kind it is. Does anyone know of a site to ID sharks. A friend of a friends caught two of them fishing off the coast of Jax. I could post the pics but they arn't on the computer so if I just had a site to go to it would...

Just have to vent a little Ok, some of you know that I have been searching for some good diving books to read for a couple of months. I have been going into book stores and inquiring about books about diving... not diving for dummies. All they could show me was a couple of books teaching...

I love to read and have been looking around for some good books about diving. But have a hard time finding any. When I go to B&N and ask for books about scuba diving they take me too all the how to books... Like I am going to learn that from a book. But there aren't very many about people...

Well, I private messaged a lot of you about places to dive in the keys and as most of you know by now, do to vacation screw up, that's not happening. The good news is I still get to do some diving. I am going to Epcot to dive in the living seas exibit. I have seen some posts on here about it...

Ok, I am going diving in the keys in feb. I may be going with my boss and his girl, if so she will probably do most of the planning cause she dives down there a lot. If not, I have a few questions. Where is the best place to dive. What is the weather like the last 2 weeks of feb. What boats...

I just recently did my first set of dives after my open water certification. As I posted on another board (in a subtopic of my main thread) I threw up during three out of 4 dives. On the second dive I felt sick but didn't throw up. I feel fine on the boat, no sea sickness at all. Soon after I...

Well, It's official, I just got back from my first dive after my certification. I went down to Pompano Beach for 2 days. I had a conference in Ft. Lauderdale and ended up diving 2 dives thrusday afternoon, and 2 dives this morning. IT WAS GREAT!! I saw 2 nurse sharks on my first dive, and...

Most of you probably read my post about never getting out to dive. Well I FINALLY planned a short trip to Ft. Lauderdale to dive because I have a conference for work there. Now there's this thing about a tropical storm Marco headed for south Fl. If the weather people think it could hit south...

Ok, Let me preface this by saying that I am not going to pick my BC or regulator out on the basis of color alone. And I know that function is more important then style. But, I would like all of my gear to kinda match. If it's possible to get something that is good quality AND bright yellow. I...

I haven't had one dive since my open water... which was the end of July. I have had plans to go twice but something always comes up. I work in retail so I don't have that many weekend days off so finding a dive buddy or boat is nearly impossible. I feel like I waisted all the time and money...

Well the first day of my open water dives are done... It wasn't exactly what I expected but here's what happened. The first part of the dive was great. I had so much fun. Did my skills well, and the fish and sea turtles and rays were incredable. It was my first time so close to them because...

I want to get the oly 720. I really like the camera and fetures but want to be able to take it underwater. Does anyone know if they make a housing for it yet? I know it's a new camera but figured there might be something for it. If there isn't one yet does anyone know if they may be coming...

I finished the first day of my OW. We did the book work and went to the pool to begin some of the pool work. Got done with the swimming tests and the treding water test. Practiced equalizing with snorkleing gear. All was great. I had no problems. We got out to put on our scuba stuff and...

I am taking these medications and wondering if they have any affect while diving. I have asked my obgyn and pharmisist but neither of them have any real solid answers. I don't really know of any dive dr's in the area that may have the answer so I thought I would ask you guys. I don't think...

Ok, so you didn't ignore it... Well then I will say hi.."HI" Jessica

I am new to diving (will start my course next weekend) and am interested in Dive computers. I spend a lot of time on the PC and wondered if there were any computers that would hook up to the pc through a USB port or something. I think it would be neat to be able to use the data on the pc to...
