Located off South West England, the Isles of Scilly provide an excellent memorable experience for scuba diving and snorkeling whether you’re an amateur or an experienced diver. The Isles of Scilly have been the cause of so many shipwrecks over hundreds of years because of their remote location 28 miles off the Cornish coast. You can explore historic shipwrecks and learn more about their history and how they ended up at the bottom of the sea.

Longing to get away to a remote island where beauty is paramount and tourists are not? Look no further for that world famous scuba diving oasis and beach vacation than the tiny island of Bonaire in the Dutch Caribbean. You will find clear diving of over 220 feet down, walk-in and boat dive spots all over the island, budget and luxury facilities without the high rise hotels, and turquoise waters with an abundance of colorful marine life.

Its time to bust some myths related to Dry Suits and give you a great understanding of what they are. Dry suits keep you warm - FALSE! The dry suit itself will not actually keep you warm, warmth is gained by what you wear underneath your dry suit.

Yesterday from 9-5ish, me and 4 others in the open-water class at Kissimmee Dive Center passed our open-water knowledge reviews, quizzes and final exam!
We have a nice eclectic class - the instructor is Scottish, been diving for nearly 30 years or so and an absolute comedian - I was pretty much cracking up the entire day; we have a russian guy in the class and another guy that happens to also be a parent and a couple… apparently we’re a good class since we all exhibited signs of reading the scuba manual (apparently some people go to their dive classes without really having studied the manual).
I was pretty much studying all week to complete my last 2 chapters, up until about 1 a.m. on Friday night - finishing off everything… I was up at about 6:30 a.m. Saturday morning to get the kids situated and then off to the class.
I have to say the dive computer is a fun gadget - I had a blast just tinkering around with it and learning the mechanics of how to figure out the amount of “surface interval time” necessary to execute two dives of 90 minutes each, and various calculations of that nature.
I really enjoyed learning all the physics fun facts: such as the fact that the air a diver breathes (recreational divers anyway) is comprised of 79% nitrogen and 21% oxygen; the fact that water is 800 times denser than air; a cubic foot of water weighs about 64 pounds; and the fact that one loses heat 20 times faster in water than in air…and learning about the atmospheric tables was interesting also.
Confined water dives from 7-10 on Wednesday and Thursday night!
