    Key West Operators ?

    Can anyone with recent Key West diving experience chime in on recommended operators? I have not dived in Key West for at least 6 years, and typically the wind blows out my dive attempts in the Keys. I am hoping to get a couple dives in this Sunday as it looks like the wind may ease up. I...

    Upgrading Older GoPro - DJI Osmo Instead?

    Thanks guys. I have a few months to decide but I will probably stick with Go Pro as I am familiar with the design and functions, and during many dives with it I have used it without any flooding problems . I am looking forward to upgrading from my Hero3 to the newest version.

    Upgrading Older GoPro - DJI Osmo Instead?

    So in preparation for an upcoming "trip of a lifetime" (French Polynesia), I was looking into a new GoPro to replace my older model. I came across a few articles proclaiming the Osmo as a better alterative to GoPro. It seems to be very new so I was wondering if anyone has purchased and used it...

    Windstar Tahiti and Tuomoto Cruise and Diving With Non-Windstar Operators

    Thanks, OWD. We have looked into PG, but they only offer a 7 day cruise during the window that we can go, and we want to do a ten day cruise to maximize the islands that we will visit. I will definitely check out Cruise Critic.

    Windstar Tahiti and Tuomoto Cruise and Diving With Non-Windstar Operators

    My fiance and I are planning our honeymoon, which will be next fall. We are seriously considering a cruise with Windstar. The 10 day cruise departing and returning to Papeete should work with our schedule. See Boutique Cruise Tahiti and the Tuamotu Islands Oct 20, 2019 From my research, the...

    Cruise-Friendly Dive Operators in Cozumel and Grand Cayman?

    Thanks - I have contacted Aldora and hope they can work with us. Our cruise ship arrives in Coz at 10:00 AM and departs at 7:00 PM so hopefully they can take us.

    Cruise-Friendly Dive Operators in Cozumel and Grand Cayman?

    Thanks for the fast response. Lobster Pot seems like a good candidate. After reading Dive With Martin's website, it does not look like they cater to cruise ship divers unless you charter a full boat, and we do not have enough divers in our group.

    Keys Drive and Dive thoughts?

    Not to hijack the thread, but can anyone recommend a non-cattle boat operator in Key West? Are there any six packs that cater to more advanced divers, rather than big mixed groups of snorkelers/divers?

    Female divers help please!

    I'm not sure that a "women's" BC is necessary for everyone. I would try on men's BCs as well. I had a Mares Kaila (ladies BC) before, and have a Sherwood Avid unisex BC now. I don't really notice a difference in fit, and I like the pockets and D-ring arrangement much better on the Sherwood...

    Dumb Things I've Done

    When I was still a mere noob... I was very seasick on what was probably my 12th dive, and was still using a rental BC without integrated weight. I was so anxious to get into the water and off the rocking boat, that I forgot my weight belt. I actually did manage to descend then realized the...

    scuba diving in Pompano Florida

    Yes, the Coral Princess was restored and renamed the Black Pearl (I believe the name is a Pirates of the Caribbean reference). I've always had great dives with SFDH and find their crew to be great and their boats very comfortable. Mike, I sent you an email about joining you for the dive.
