    Four missing divers rescued - Sri Lanka

    Myself, my husband and our divemaster were once afloat in the Caribbean. We were downwind from the dive boat and had no SMB. I did have my dive alert, but being downwind it was not heard. Finally we saw the boat zig zagging looking for us. I though to use the strobe on my camera at the same time...

    Another Florida Drifter

    My husband, myself and our DiveMaster once drifted away from our diveboat. Long story. Plans were made for the preson on the boat to pick us up, but apparently they got distracted by snorkelers on the boat and did not come for us at the appointed time. I had a Dive Alert, but we were downwind...

    Talk about stupidity

    We went diving on Culebra PR and Vieques PR this summer. On Culebra, the Capt. was the diveleader. I dove with both operations on the island and it was the same on both. No one was on the boat. However, both dives were in relatively shallow water near shore. If push came to shove, we should have...

    SRH tech> You were out with an excellent outfit, Scubatech. Nancy and crew run a first rate operation. Did you share with her that this was your first SW dive and the max depth you had been in FW? We really enjoy diving out of Destin. I tend to be an anxious diver, but partially contribute this...

    Funniest Diving quotes you have heard

    When we were newlyweds, in 1977, my husband and I, both newly certified, flew to the Keys for a week of diving.

    I panicked, lived, and learned...

    We always take all our own equipment except tank and weights. I know I maintain mine properly and know how to operate my computer, etc. Lots of people think we are crazy to drag all the equipment with us, but hey, peace of mind is priceless.
