| Shark diving with 12 y/o Newsgroups 07:48:01 |
| | Hello fellow divers..I have a 12 year old son who is just newly certified
and wants to do a shark dive (what 12 year old wouldn't) However at his age
he is limited to depth of 40 ft. Wondering if anyone could point me in the
right direction. We live in northern Florida and would like keep travel to
minimum. I know Bahamas is big on shark dives, but with 40 ft limits? Thanks
in advance for any suggestions.

| Re: Dive newbie who is an oldie Lee Bell 05:16:36 |
| | Background: I was NAUI-certified 40 years ago and loved diving in N. Fla. I haven't had tanks on in 35 years. I am still a good, strong swimmer. When you turn 60 in my family the deal is you get to go somewhere you have never been and always wanted to go. I'd like to go diving for a week somewhere tropical (FL Keys or Caribbean are what is affordable). My expectations are modest, 35-60' depths, visibility, reefs, fish. After this dive, I will probably not dive again because I live far from water. When I go, I'd like to take my 11yr old son diving too. 60 is three years away. There is a dive shop where I live and can get certified thru them.
Most dive shops and agencies offer refresher courses. If there's dive
training in your area, there's probably a dive shot that will do one for
you. A refresher isn't a bad idea. On the other hand, you don't actually
have to do anything if you can still find your NAUI card. Once certified,
always certified. It's still good, even though it's made of paper and does
not have your picture on it. I assume that's what yours looks like since
that's what mine is. I have several since, but the original is still as
valid as ever. By the way, I'm about a month from 60, but the other way. I
turned 60 in March. It didn't hurt . . . well, not much anyway.
Q1. Can a 10-11 year old get certified?
I don't know the answer to this for sure, but I think there are courses for
younger divers. I think 12 may be the minimum age. Someone that knows
better than I do should pipe up any time now.
Q2. What is the lowest level of certification (PADI or NAUI) one can have to do open water dives with a /good/ dive operator? This is a time/money question for me for getting certified to be 'good enuf.' We'd show up with mask, fins, and rent the rest.
You've already got it. If your card is like mine, it reads "SCUBA." Other
than that, the beginner course is most often called Open Water. That may or
may not apply to all agencies, but any of them will know what you're talking
about. The majors in entry level training are PADI, SSI, NAUI and YMCA.
YMCA isn't as popular as they used to be, but I think they still offer
certification training. For your purposes, one's about as good as the
others.
Q3. Where would you go to dive for the best bang for the buck? Belize, Caymans, Bahamas, FL Keys....? I am interested in-competent dive masters, good water and underwater sights, shorter rather than longer transit time from shore to dive; affordability, minimal immigration and language hassles near enuf to airport.
Aren't we all. In pure dollars and cents terms, the Keys are probably the
best bang for the buck, but only because you can drive there. If you opt
for the Keys, consider Looe Key, particularly if your son can't get
certified before you go. It's a shallow area suitable both for divers and
snorkelers, one of the best of its kind in the state.
"The Bahamas" covers a lot of territory. There's a bunch of them. I've
done some very nice diving in the Bahamas, but I did not find the dive
masters particularly helpful. I'm sure there are exceptions, but for the
most part, I think Bahamas diving is better for those that feel comfortable
more or less on their own. After a refresher course, that might include
you. I'd stay away from New Providence (Nassau and Paradise Island). The
diving's not that great and the prices are high. Freeport is one of my
least favorite places in the world, so I'd stay away from there too. Bimini
has some nice diving, as does Andros. The rest of what I've done in the
Bahamas has been a bit harder to get to, more suitable to live aboard diving
than a land based family vacation. There's probably more nice places. I'll
leave it to those that know them to make recommendations.
I've never been to Belize.
Grand Cayman is one of my favorite dive destinations. The boat diving is
excellent and the shore diving is even better and range from novice level to
very advanced. It's not cheap, but if I thought it was going to be my last
dive trip ever, I'd certainly consider Grand Cayman. I also like Cayman
Brac and little Cayman, but I didn't enjoy the shore diving in either as
much as I did on Grand Cayman and, while you say night life is not
important, that's not the same as "none" which is what the smaller Cayman
islands have.
TIA, Still a fan of Mike Nelson
Just like all the rest of us old timers.

The last time I was in Grand Cayman was at the Sunset house in 1990. Has
anyone been there lately? How is the diving? I'm assuming that the island
must have recovered pretty much from the last big hurricane, is that true?
Thanks,

| advice on HOODS ! Hi-Soft 21:28:33 |
| | I'm looking at getting a hood to go with my 7mm wetsuit to dive the colder
water of Victoria, AUSTRALIA.
The thing is, I really don't like wearing hoods.....I hate chocking
feeling,and limiting flexability...like probably most people do...
So I'm looking at one that doesn't have a long neck / shoulder seal
section.....so more like the "dry suit" type...shorter...so I can maybe wear
it over the neck of my wetsuit...is that possible ???
Can I use an actual "dry suit" hood with a conventional wetsuit, or will it
no work properly or something ??
I'm also thinking...I will only go as thick as 5mm max...for the above
reason..(chocking feeling etc. )...
Any advide appreciated...

| Compass calibration ? Hi-Soft 18:32:55 |
| | How important is it to have a compass calibrated to the Southern Hemisphere
( for mainly diving locally in Asut )...as opossed to one calibrated to the
Northern hemisphere ?
I've heard you just need to angle the later slightly when using it, as the
"pole" is pulled downward causing it to stick sometimes...
Like is it not that much of a drama ?
cheers,

Im looking to purchase my first regulator set (1st stage, 2nd stage & occy),

Tusa : RS-110 / SS-110
Oceanic : Alpha 8 ( reg & occy)
AquaLung : Calipso reg / ABS occy
Opinions for final decision please ...?
BTW, I'll probably do most of my diving in Victoria to max 30 meters..

| wetsuit : 7mm vs 5mm w/vest ???? Hi-Soft 09:30:20 |
| | Just about to buy a wetsuit, looking at full 7mm for Victoria ( Australian )
waters mainly.
It has since occured to me to consider the option of a 5mm full suit, with
an added vest (probably hooded).
I think the last wetsuit I hired on my OW course was actually a 7/5 anyway
( Pinnacle "Cruiser"), so just wanting opinions of the pros and cons of
each..
Also, what's the go with wearing a hooded vest...under or over..does one
provide better insulation..?
And if I'm a size medium wetsuit, and choose to wear a vest over the
top...do I get a size large vest...or will it stretch enough ??
losts of questions I know...but I'll my likely be purchasing online ( due to
high local retail ), so need to look at all options first....

Hello everyone, We're planning a trip to Costa Rica in November 2008. I saw some older discussions where people talk about diving in Costa Rica. Have any of you had any recent (2007 or 2008) diving trips in Puerto Viejo or on Ca o Island. We want to have 1 day of diving in Puerto Viejo and then a few days later from Dominical a dive on Ca o Island. Any good recommendations, dive schools, dive operations, some experiences there? We did not find any in Dominical who dive Ca o island, maybe we should Thanks. All info would be gr8tly appreciated. Timo
I and a friend were in the Cano area Sept '07. We stayed at the Drake
Bay resort (resort = that's a stretch) for a week, and despite the
copious rain, got in a couple of days diving on Cano. Drake Bay is a
staple for our overnight requirements, and Cano didn't disappoint.
Besides the typical sea mount critters, we saw the absolutely largest
sting rays ever - dropped in 70' right on top of them. Overcast sky,
early morning, dim shadows at first, I thought they were eagle rays,
then no... maybe mantas, then uh... STINGRAYS!! Holy Barbs Batman!!
Kayaks, mangroves, hiking, horses, and lots and lots of rain.
Rental gear available, diving on Cano can be challenging, strong
currents, rough surface at times, but the island is another great place
for a hike during an SI and bag lunch. Be sure to sign in at the ranger
station on the north side before getting wet.

| Travel from Cancun to Tulum in Yucatan Peninsula Chopper 05:07:12 |
| |
I am a diver and have spent a lot of time in Cozumel and have gone to
the Cenotes ("Dos Ojos") south of Playa del Carmen.
I am interested in traveling along the corridor between south of Cancun
all the way to say, Tulum.
Would like to get recommendations for reasonably priced hotels along
the way which have the usual amenities (a/c, tv etc) but aren't the
garrish all-inclusive types. Would also like to hear about some good
dive locations.
Proximity to the water and dive shops would be important though several
blocks away is fine too.
Any recommendations or comments will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sy

| Storage.. Raininginmyhead4 03:25:02 |
| |
Well, it has come to that sad time when i must pack up my dive gear and
head off to college. This is probably a long term pack up, and i was
wondering if there is any specific way to do this thats better than
another (ie wetsuit needs to be kept hanging rather than put into a
large plastic tub). Also, is there anyone in the central ohio area
looking to sell a regular or L size Stabilizing BCD? I have been using
my dive instructors, as he has sets to borrow, but i think its time to
get my own. I don't mind minor repair work (new hoses, cleaning valves,
etc).
Thanks!
