I'm looking for a site that can give me current surface AND bottom 60-90ft (20-30m) temps. I've found a bunch of sites that give just a generic water temp 79-81F (26-27C), but I'm guessing that is surface temps. I have no experience diving in Bahamas, so I don't know where to expect the...

I'd like some input to see if I can do a liveaboard dive week with what I have, or if I have to go out and purchase a new wetsuit. I've been reading some wildly different forecasts for water temp in Bahamas in the Nov/Dec window, anywhere from high 70's to as low as 69. I've read more than a few...

I've been on a few (less than 10) night dives in my life, and I've not enjoyed these dives, because I've always had anxiety about the dark spots out of my sight. I've used spots of various powers, and I continued to not like night diving. Of course, I'm not a person to let this stop me. My...

What is more; she is a non-diver. I can't wait to get this in the water. 5 weeks and counting. I think my wife loves me.

I'm staying at the SCC, and I am looking for a buddy or couple to meet up with for some shore dives. This will be my first time at SCC, and I am looking forward to the boat dives, but I am also looking at having a few shore dives with a buddy or small group. I am a PADI AOW with nitrox cert...

I read an article from 2003 (8 years ago) about a company developing some form of computerized buoyancy control device for scuba divers, and lift gear. First use of computerized buoyancy control system | Sea Technology | Professional Journal archives from AllBusiness.com I know this isn't...

First impressions for Suites at Key Largo aka Key West inn and Suites at 201 Ocean Drive Key Largo, FL 33037 Finding this hotel can be tricky, closely watch the street signs and you'll find it. It appears that this property has either changed ownership or managment recently. The person at...

I will be visiting FL for the first time, and I am currently signed up to do a bunch of boat dives with Rainbow Reef. My wife does not dive, and as a result I'm needing to go with guided dives, or meeting up with locals on the weekend. Are there any groups getting together in this time...

Okay, I'm not trying to open up a can of worms here. I'm looking to parents of young divers, and I'm wanting to know their thoughts on young divers and maturity levels. I do not have children. My sister's family, my wife and Iare discussing doing a Hawaii vacation in the next couple of...

I dove about 30 dives over 3 weeks in Bonaire, and I found that I was getting pretty tired by the end of the day. Asleep by 9p kind of tired. I'd take a day off diving, and I'd be just fine again. I always dove well within my NDL, and never had any worrysome pain. Just sleepy. So, I'm...

Okay, You know how you find the oddest things on Craig's list? Well, one day I was just surfing, and I found a DUI CF200X (okay, bright rescue swimmer orange) for a very reasonable price, complete with liner and booties. I had to check it out, and it looked in great shape, and fit really...

Hi, I will be in Bonaire for 3 weeks :D with my wife and a family friend. The family friend will be doing her OW cert there, and will not be available to dive with me the first week. I have 20+ dives and have PADI AOW, and I'm interested in meeting up with other divers (hah) and get some...

I have some new equipement for a dive trip that I'm planning to do up to the Pacific Northwest. 7mm full suit with Hooded vest. I'm getting the suit from scuba toys, so I'm wondering where I should do a boyancy check before I head out to the PNW? I know that fresh vs salt will change things...

Hello Vancouver Divers, While I grew up in the Vancouver Area, I seem to have learned how to dive long after leaving. I will be traveling to the Vancouver, sunshine coast area this August to see family, none of whom dive. I would like to dive while I am up there, and I am looking for...

Hi to all the experts out there. I appologize for the length of the question, but I want to ensure that my assumptions are correct. (Yes I am an engineer. :dork2: ) I'm new to diving, and I've been doing my research on gear. I am not asking what BC to get, rather, I am trying to...

Hi, I'm in the Denver area, (DTC) and I am in the process of getting my PADI open water certification. I just want to introduce myself, and get to know the local people. I travel way too much, but I'm typically in Denver on the weekends. Thanks, Mortis.

Hi everyone, I'm a new member, and new to diving. I'm in the process of getting my PADI certification for open water. I am based in Colorado (USA), but I am Canadian. I've done a couple of resort dives, and I'm pretty sure that this will be yet another expensive hobby that I will love...
