Thanks for all of the advice and help. As it turned out, she took the Discover Scuba with Low Key Dives in St. John and now wants to get certified. It could not have been a better experience. I took a "refresher dive" (it had been 5-6 years since I dove) while she took the "Discover Dive". It...

Sounds to me like this place does skills at the dive site : Our dive sites are about 15-20 minutes away and once you arrive there we put everyone else into the water and then throw out a floating line for you to hang onto while the instructor individually comes to you and takes you down a couple...

Thanks for all of the information and suggestions. I've learned that the instructor to student ratio is max at 1:4 but usually only one or two students during the time we are going. I might decline if there are 4 students to one instructor. There is no pool session. They have a video and...

I am a certified diver and my GF wants to try scuba but she's not ready to commit to a cert course. We are going away and there is a "discover scuba" course which does not certify you but (I guess) teaches some basic skills so that you can do a dive. It is described as a shallow dive with an...

I'm also going in April. What mil wet suit did you wear? Do you remember the water temp? And were you diving the Atlantic or the Sea of Cortez? Thanks, Anthony

What do you all think of the Oceanic Veo 100NX? It is nice and simple, exactly what I want. I'm being quoted @ $430. Is this a fair price? I can't find much info online. If it matters, I'll be using it with a SP MK25/G250 reg. Thx

Thanks for all the feedback. I think I've been convinced to go with a reg first so I will begin my research. Makes sense, as many said, your life depends on it. DivingPrincess tipped the scale for me, her reason for getting the reg 2nd are good reasons to get it 1st. DP....Thanks for the...

I'm considering to begin investing in my own gear. I already have the basics (fins, mask, wetsuit) and was thinking of purchasing some of the more expensive items in one per year. So, between a regulator, BCD, or dive computer what would you purchase first and why? Anthony

Anyone ever stay at Bay Island Beach in Roatan? I'm considering a trip there with a group that is booking at this resort. How are the accomodations, food, dive op, etc? Thanks, Anthony

I checked out the singledivers.com web site and it looks pretty good. Has anyone on this forum gone on any trips with them and what did you think if so? Thanks Anthony

I am planning a scuba trip and Bonaire is a potential destination. From what I've read, shore diving in different locations is your best bet in Bonaire. However, my girlfriend and I don't feel comfortable doing our dives without a divemaster or more experienced divers present. Are there...

I was looking at Belizean Shores Resort and it looks like they do thier dive packages through "Scuba Belize". Has anyone used them or know anything about them? Thanks, Anthony

Jersey Guy, What was the best way you found to get to Tobago? I'm also from NJ. Thanks, Anthony

I'm actually not sure of details yet, this trip will be a year off or so. I'm sort of gathering info as to what skills I should sharpen to make my dives go smoothly. I had dived in Cozumel and wasn't entirely comfortable with 'playing the currents' and definitely have to practice a quicker...

My GF and I are in the preliminary stages of planning a trip to Galapagos but want to go on a few other trips to 'practice' diving because I have read that there are strong currents and it's no place for novice divers. Can anyone recommend some destinations where we can practice diving in...
