I just return from my 5 day cruise with Carnival's Paradise. My wife and I decided to do a shore dive through Carnival because time was limited and wanted to make sure if the weather turned bad I would get reimbursed. We are new divers and this was our first ocean dive. My wife usually takes a few minutes to get comfortable before she goes under, but this time she could not wait. The instructor that took us out was awesome. She took a woman that was a little nervous and got her comfortable and under with not problems. The depth was 50 feet and the total bottom time was 40 minutes. The coral was beautiful and the fish were plenty. The LDS that Carnival uses is Don Foster's. for $69.00 they supply everything all the equipment you need, but we took our equipment minus BCD just because we know our equipment. The dive was on the 26th of January and the water temp was 81 degrees so our 2.5 mm shorties was perfect. For new divers this is a great dive slow and steady. The water was calm when we got in but the seas got rough at the end. I was okay until we surfaced and then I began to get sick, so I exited quickly. Can't wait to do it again.
