First, an intro:  I'm a writer, not a diver.  I was Open-Water certified ages
ago and dove enthusiastically for awhile...  Anyway, I'm working on a novel
manuscript.  The main character is an extremely experienced cold-water diver
(Monterey Bay area), middle-aged female in ...

I'm fairly new to scuba diving (10 dives) and I'm not sure what type of
wetsuit to purchase.  I will mainly dive during the summer in countries
where the surface temperature will be 30C or above (not too sure what the
water temperature will be) in areas likes the Mediterranean.  ...

I heard today that it is warmer here than it is in Florida.  Sweet!  I must
remember to water in the trees.

My husband and I are pretty new to diving, so we don't know where all of the
best destinations are yet. I am definately a warm water kinda' girl! Where
would you recommend going where the water would be warm and there would be
plenty of colorful corals and fish? We'd like to go ...

Here's my account of the shark dive I did at Nassau, Bahamas with Dive Dive
Dive.  It's one of the most exciting dives any certified scuba diver can do,

Hey all, well I have a week in the middle of January that I can take
off and desperately want to spend it on a liveaboard. Does anyone have
any suggestions?

I am looking for the best WARM WATER destinations to go diving. My husband
and I are new to diving, so I don't really know where to go. I would like
some ideas in and out of the US with a lot of colorful corals and fish.
Thanks!

Hi all.  I find myself headed to Kauai, Hawaii, in March for work.  I'm
planning to extend into a vacation and while there I'd like to take the
PADI Advanced Open Water class and the Rescue Diver class (assuming I
can do both in one week or so that I can extend my trip by).  Can

Saturday was going to be Yuki Fujita's day to remember. It was, but for

can anyone recommend a dive boat operator in Key Largo, FL? I'd like to

BIKINI RE-VISITED
crossroads +60
On October 12
,2005, my son and I made a 5 hour flight from Honolulu to Majuro

Today (Nov 15) is the second day the port is re-opened to cruise ship,
requiring all ships to be anchored or moored because all the cruise

devastation by hurricane Wilma.
So, it was a pleasant surprise that our cruise ship stopped there on
