Had a couple nice days out of Islamorada. Dove With Sea Monkeys. Great little op with a nice 6-pack boat and very personal service. They put a DM on every dive (which I appreciate as a vacation diver) and even through in a wet suite with the basic 2 dive price which was cheaper than anyone else...

Anybody gone out with ScubaTech recently? Found some 3-4 year-old posts about them but nothing current. Hopefully they are still a good shop. They'll be very close to my resort which recommended them.

Just spent 10 days in Ocho Rios diving at Couples Tower Isle. I preferred it to Negril which I dove in 2008. I like structures and Ocho had lots of canyons, small walls and swim thoughts. Kathileen, a nice little wreck was close by in about 50ft of water. Negril was fairly flat. The bad...

We're chartering a sailing catamaran for a week in the BVI's. We'll mostly be enjoying topside fun but will be diving a few days. The charter company sets up rendezvous with dive ops wherever we are anchored. From what I've read, it all seems to work well. Wondering if any of you have...

Did 3 days with Flamingo Divers on Provo. Great dive op. I highly recommend them. Jayne and Mickey only take small groups (8 max) and give you very personal service. They operate out of the south side marina which makes it easier to get to what are considered the better sites. Overall...

Just got back from a week of heaven on "The Cay-mon". Unfortunately came home to a pile of work but wanted post some quick impressions. Stayed at Turtle Nest Inn in Boddentown. Great place. I highly recommend it. Great location to explore the entire island if you have a car. Dove with...

Just bough a used reg and took it to a new LDS for service. (My old shop closed.) There's a pool on site so when I picked up the reg I jumped into the pool to check it out. I noticed a very small air leak at the hose fitting to the octo. The nut was loose. When I tried to finger tighten it I...

Stayed at Ocean Turquesa just north of Puerto Morelos Feb 17-24. A new but very average AI. Did two tanks with Scuba Cancun which operates between Puerto Morelos and Playa del Carmen in a small marina. DMs Rafael and Venus did a fine job. Short fills on all the tanks No one had more than...

Just returned from a week at Sandals Halcyon. Overall, a very nice resort with a very attentive staff. The Halcyon is small, intimate and generally quiet which appeals to us as a middle aged couple. Though easily half the quests were young couples on honeymoon. It was low season so the...

So.. I'm pulling my gear together for an upcoming dive trip to Florida. Put new batteries in my year-old M2, it does its initialization but when i try to program it, nothing.. dead. Bought it on line so I call Leisure Pro and they set up an RMA but can't guaranty I'll get it in time for my trip...

Getting ready for a dive trip in 3 weeks. I put new batteries in my 1 year old Mares M2. It does its wake up sequence. I try to set it and nothing happens. It won't turn on. New batteries. It wakes up--back light-version number- display test. Go to set it and, again, nothing. I let it...

Found this: Scuba diving vacations. Scuba Voyages Dive Travel. Has anyone used these folks to book a trip? Prices seem really low. Too Low? I'm specifically looking at the Anse Chastanet dive packages.

Time for my annual southern migration. Capt Ty, JohnnyBravo and company took me on a Very nice trip to the Sheridan last Feb. I'm thinking about Ginnie Springs this time. Looks like I can rent everything I need on site unless there are cheaper alternatives. I'll be staying just south of Ocala...

On a recent dive in Negril our DM came up with an MR1 that he found in about 70 ft of water. Judging by the growth on it, the consensus was it was submerged for at least a few months.. I was sporting my MR2 so the DM showed me the unit. I opened the battery compartment and water came out...

Just spent a week at Couples Negril. THE DIVING: Cozumel was my first salt water dives and I have some very vivid memories. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised by Negril. Overall there were fewer and smaller fish then Cozumel. However, the DMs pointed out the smaller stuff, Blue...

I'll be getting wet in Negril soon and trying to get all my ducks in a row. Does anyone know if there is a Deco Chamber near Negril? Not planing on using it. I just want to have info- just in case.

I'm a vacation diver looking for a inexpensive BC. The Scout seems to fit my needs: mostly warm water with a Rash guard or 3mm shorty for protection. However I do live in Minnesota so, would the scout handle the occasional cold dive? I'm 5'-10" and 230lbs and carry 18-20lbs with an AL 80...

Thanks to Capt. Ty, Scott5644, Johnny Bravo and Dan for baby-sitting a newb and showing me a great time. (and reattaching all the pieces that fell off) The Boat: Capt. Ty's custom "Barbara Lee". Named after the many women in his life. (or at least the ones that let him have a boat) It...

Just got my M2 from Leisure Pro. Nice little unit. 1. Is there away to register the warranty online? 2. In simulation mode the alarm does not sound as the "no deco" time goes to 1 minute. The manual says it should sound. Is this just an idiosyncrasy in sim mode. The safety stop alarms...
