This is a really cool place for photographers to share pictures and do something good with them. The Marine Photobank is a place where people can upload images that have to do with Marine Conservation, could be pictures of shark finning, coral bleaching, trash, etc. Then people like non-profits...

Has anybody heard of the site ScubaNation.com I just came upon it a few days ago and wanted to know if anyone else from scubaboard is using it. Its kind of like a facebook for divers where you can log all of your dives and they are displayed on your profile. It has some articles and movie...

I just thought I would share a funny dive quote i heard on the boat last weekend when i was diving and wanted to see some other funny/stupid comments they have heard on scuba boats. This advanced open water diver surfaces from his second 100+ foot dive of the day and says, "These new dive...

I finally did it! I got my 100th dive over winter vacation in Jamaica. And yes I did do it naked, which I will say was very interesting especially with my family. The divemasters were pretty shocked to haha. I do have a picture to prove it if you don't believe me but i didnt think that was a...

It kind of took me a while before I got around to post these pictures because I just started college at the U of Miami but here they go. I thought my pictures turned out really well, its only my third trip every using my camera and first using the strobe. I would love some advice because now...

I just got back from a sneak preview of this movie at the University of Miami. This movie is one of the most moving movies that i have ever seen in my life. It is brilliantly made and exposes some of the most disgusting practices in the fishing of sharks. The underwater scenes are remarkable and...

Just got back yesterday from an unbelievable trip to Cancun for spring break. I went with 3 of my friends for 8 days and stayed at the Oasis Cancun. We are all high school seniors. We got to the airport nice and early the flights weren't any problem at all except for a little switching so a...

Ok so I am going to cancun for spring break with three of my friends who are all non-divers. I clearly can't go to the caribbean and be so close to great diving and not going on any dives (especially since the rest of my family will be in cozumel right before I go). I am thinking that I can do...

It took me a while to finally get these online, I had a lot of trouble with shutterfly. I don't know if I can put a picture from shutterfly into this thread but I can at least try. These pictures are from Grand Cayman at the end of December. I used a Fuji e900 that I had just gotten with the...

I am in a high school environmental science class and I managed to get a project on the Bonaire/Klein Bonaire reef system. I am allowed to use my own personal observations in the project so I will be able to answer almost all of the questions from my trip there in august. There are a few that...

I am taking a trip with my family to the Cairns/Port Douglas area in March. We traded a timeshare to get a place pretty close to the water for a week and then we will go inland. My brother is 9 years old right now and has been dying to dive ever since the rest of my family learned in December...

Anyone up for a dive at Bainbridge quarry up in Pennsylvania June 17th? I'll be testing out my new DSS BP/W so it would really like anyone who dives a BP/W to come but if you don't that is fine also :D . I am 17 and have about 20 dives under my belt since december. I really need to dive because...

There was just a show on discovery channel hd all about sharks. It explored the shark diving industry and also how we need to protect sharks because we are killing them at an alarming rate! I thought it was a great show, especially in hd, I can't believe how clear it really is. Had some...

I have decided that I want to get my first set of regs and decided I want the XTX 50 with the XTX 40 as an octo. I want to get them from an authorized dealer so that takes out all online dealers. Does anyone know a dive shop that has a relatively low price on these regs and is an authorized...

I am in a family of 5 who is trying to plan a liveaboard trip. My mom, myself, and my sister all dive and my youngest brother will be in the next year. My father;however, went through all the class work and pool sessions but couldn't do it when he got to open water. Since he is the one who is...

Hey. I will be up in Maine this summer working as a camp counselor in Waterford about an hour drive from Portland inland. I will be there for 8 weeks and will have 7 or 8 days off and I really can't go 8 weeks without at least a couple dives so I need some ideas. Are there any good places to...

I have decided to purchase my first set of gear pretty soon and have decided on a BP/W with a hog harness. I have a pretty limited budget being 16 but I also want something solid and have narrowed it down to two companies. My decision is between a Deep Sea Supply singles rig or a Northeast Scuba...

I am leaving for key largo today and I'm signed up for AOW and nitrox class, and it seems that I am starting to get a sore throat and cold. Any suggestions on what to do?
