Any scuba divers/ collectors ??

I've been once, and was lucky enough to have my first dive in the Caribbean at St. Maarten. The water and fish were beaitiful! It was an AMAZING first dive and can't wait to do it again.

 

I dive, been to the GBR and love the East End of Grand Cayman

 

I'm a certified Rescue Diver and certified in DAN 02 and all that stuff

I love it. Can't wait to do it in the ocean again. Freshwater diving is just nothing like the ocean. and it's cold.

 

Depends on what group does it.

PADI is Dive Master (what I have). It's one step below being an instructor.

and NAUI I am pretty sure calls it DM as well.

 

90% of mine were in the MB as well. 100% of mine are cold water... North Coast, Big Sur, Monterey Bay, etc.

 

I've done some scuba my Dad is a master diver or whatever, he used to work at a dive shop a long time ago
my first time ever was off catalina island
it was one of those go diving without having to be certified things, thats really what hooked me on diving.
I went through my certification and i just need 2 open water dives to finish it up.

 

Ive cave dove in the Yucatan, been to Belize, Cozumel, a bunch of the Carribean islands, Maui, Lanai, Molokini, Oahu, had an ice dive a couple years ago that was cool! My favorite place was Molokini because I dove with a bunch of feeding black tips at dusk, that was really cool. I also really liked the cave diving, its a trip! Lava tubes are neat too. My fiancee is getting certified this summer since in november we are taking our honeymoon in the carribean for a couple weeks

 

I've been certified for 16 years... I have dove various parts of the Gulf, Caribbean, Hawaii, and off the coast of Italy.

Has anyone here considered becoming an instructor? I tell my wife that I'd like to semi-retire early, move to a beach town and become a scuba instructor.... I should just do that now. haha ;D

 

that was my plan!!! look what i just found in the yard sale! Aqualung conshelf XII

 

Been diving since '94. Last dive, July of '09, shark diving in the Bahamas. Some pretty freaky/cool ****. This summer, St. Maarten, diving okay, but great beaches and culture. Nice rig, have you tried it out?
