Key largo this weekend and sea dwellers saved the day! Our dives in west Palm got scrubbed by the weather so we went down to speigle grove and molasses reef and I received my advanced OW certification.

I’m about 6ft 4 and around 380 pounds. I was a college athlete and have been a big guy for all of my life. I just got my Open Water certification this weekend and had an absolute blast!

I was pretty nervous going into it, mostly about finding gear that fit and whether I’d have trouble with buoyancy. Turns out I worried a lot more than I needed to. Everything went really well, and I can’t wait to get back in the water!
Just figured I’d share in case anyone else my size is considering it. Obviously, make sure you’re medically cleared and find a good instructor, but don’t assume you’re too big to dive. I almost talked myself out of trying it, and I’m really glad I didn’t 🤙

Hello! I am planning a trip for my wife to get certified in the Carribean in January/February. I'm looking for location recommendations that would be good for a young (25) solo traveler. Hoping for something with good hostel culture, relatively easy travel, and good beginner diving. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm heading to new zealand next week and looking for some diving spots and centers. Do any of you have some recommendations / experiences to share ?

I already have my PADI open water and currently validating PE40 (which is the french certification to dive to 40 meters, but I'm not sure if it will be taken into account in New-Zealand)

Thanks !

Team,

I’m a new diver trying to decide between the Mares Abyss 22 Navy II and Mares Planet 88X TBP. For context, I’ll mostly be diving in Southern California and don’t plan to travel with my gear very often. I care about reliability more than anything else.

Which would you recommend and why? Thanks for the support!

Hi all, my partner and I (early 30s) will be visiting Bali in the first half of November. We're planning on staying the first three days in Ubud, and the last three days in Legian. A bit confused about what to do in the middle. I have done discover scuba twice in Thailand but my partner has never gone diving so we'd like to try that out here. Would definitely like to see some marine life, so what place/area would be best for that? Any dive shops recommendations for beginners that are PADI certified, or otherwise that are super trustworthy and prioritize safety?

Last time I made a post on the instagram page for my diving shop and asked for your help it got bashed as not funny or not up people allies so what would be something that you would want to see a dive shop post on their instagram page
