    Looking to Upgrade from My Oceanic VTX Dive Computer

    When I first started diving, I purchased the Oceanic Dive Computer with Air Integration. I have not had any trouble with it except for it being hard to read closer to the surface on a bright sunny day. My adult son is diving now and does not have any equipment. I thought I might upgrade my...

    Thailand or Philippines around July 4th

    We would either fly into Bangkok or Manila depending on which one we choose to do together, so we will be able to take a flight to wherever we need to pretty easily.

    Thailand or Philippines around July 4th

    My husband will be traveling to the Philippines and Thailand for work. He has some flexibility in scheduling so he asked me which trip I would prefer to go with him on. I have 5 days around July 4th that I can get away and he will use some vacation time for us to dive either at the beginning or...

    Guanacaste Area in Costa Rica in March

    Thanks for your reply. We are accustomed to diving in Cozumel with a small family owned operator. When we dive, it is usually my husband and I and maybe 2 others with our guide. How many people are assigned to a guide with Rocket Frog? It looks like their boats hold a lot of divers. I know...

    Guanacaste Area in Costa Rica in March

    I found a great deal to Liberia, Costa Rica mid March for Spring Break and decided to book it before doing any research. I thought I would check in with the experts here to learn about where to stay and dive and if there is enough to see diving for a week in the area or if I should rent a car...

    Secrets Resort Cozumel

    Thanks for your input! Based on your description, I think we will be fine. I do wish that the entry into the water was not rocky! I love when I can go into the ocean without rocks, but I also know that the rockier areas usually mean I can see some fish when I snorkel. This trip is about...

    Selecting the Best BCD for Me

    Hey Everyone! I am so glad I found this Board!!! I have yet to have a BCD that felt totally comfortable for me. I ask 5'6" and 170 pounds. Most of the time, I struggle at the surface because the BCD's that I rent seem to flip me forward and I have a hard time stay9ing upright. I also feel...

    Which Aqualung Legend to Choose

    I want to make sure that I select a regulator that breathes easy. That is most important to me! I want it to breathe easy at the surface as well as below the surface. Of course quality is also important as I want one that will last a long time. Do I need to purchase a Legend or would the...

    Which Aqualung Legend to Choose

    Since I am new to diving, I want to buy a good quality regulator that I will not need to upgrade later as I become more experienced. I do not see myself doing any technical diving as I am more interested in underwater photography and enjoying the wildlife below the surface.

    Which Aqualung Legend to Choose

    Hi Everyone, My husband and I are still fairly new to diving. We were certified 2 years ago, but the pandemic has slowed our ability to continue to improve as divers. We have each logged 10 dives, so definitely still new... On our last trip in November to Cancun, I had my first not so good...

    Secrets Resort Cozumel

    Back in November, we spent a week in Cancun at Barcelo Maya Riviera which is the newest Adults Only property at the complex, and the food was really good at the a la carte restaurants. I do worry that my husband will be disappointed, but this trip we re only there to spend a week diving. I...

    Secrets Resort Cozumel

    One other question that I thought about is if we should rent a car since Secrets is quite a distance from town or if we would be fine just staying on site?

    Secrets Resort Cozumel

    My husband and I have booked a trip to Cozumel for March. We are currently booked at Secrets Resort for this trip. We plan to dive every day while we are there, so we are not looking for a ton of activities at the resort--mainly good food, nice beach and pool for after diving. Since we are...
