I'm thinking about going down to Belize to scuba dive.  During the days I
won't be diving, I would like to visit some decent Mayan ruins.  Does
anybody know how far or how long it takes to get to decent ruins from the
prime scuba diving areas in Belize?

Are there any major differences between the NAUI and PADI Dive Tables?
If so, what?

I found a couple steel 100's at a pawn shop but they have the 300 bar
din valve on them. Are the threads in this tank such that a 232 bar valve

This weekend, I went of a 30-foot dive for 15 minutes--folowing all
safety procedures.
When I surfaced, I took off my wesuit, a full-sleave shortie, and I
had a rash on my arms and legs, large red spotches.

I have an ORCA EDGE dive computer (not the skinnydipper) but have lost
