K-Bay / MCBH
csemenko - 11/08/2010 11:34 PM
I am renting a 6 person boat at the MCBH on Thursday (11 NOV 10). We are diving somewhere in K-Bay. I am looking for recommendations or if anybody is looking to dive (must have your own gear and tanks) we might have room left with enough notice. I have extra weight for one more person but only enough cylinders for me and my buddy. We are looking at 0745 - 1200. Any recommendations on where to dive or where not dive would be appreciated. The current plan has me going to the boundary line beyond t...
Moving to Hawaii

I am being stationed in Hawaii (Oahu, Fort Shafter). I am looking for any advice for good places to dive, dive shops to hook up with, etc. Shore diving, boat diving, etc. You name it I need the details. I will have 3 years to see and dive it all. I am scheduled to arrive in early January 2010. Also, any places to avoid both diving and living. Any other input is appreciated too.Thanks....
"We Ain’t Scared Trip" (Piggy Flu)
csemenko - 4/30/2009 11:41 PM
UPDATED 24 MAY 09: We are getting a room with a Jacuzzi tub on the balcony and the all inclusive food and drinks. We are planning on 1 day of shore exploration with a trip to Sanchos. We are packing bio-degradeable sun screen to help protect the reef. We are definately going to Cozumel Diving this Summer (August) when I get back from Afghanistan. The prices should be even cheaper. If they don’t have a travel ban we are going to call ahead and negotiate for a better deal. A little Piggy Flu scare...
Summer 2009 Dive Trips
csemenko - 1/15/2009 4:26 PM
UPDATE 28 APR 09: The Swine Flu has settled it...discounted prices in Mexico, O’Yeah. We are going to dive Cozumel. We are negotiating for a lower price on the executive suite because we aren’t afraid of a little "Piggy Flu." We will be there in August...we will know if there is a travel ban by then or not. UPDATE 13 APR 09: Looking at the following options: Galapagos Islands, Belize, Bonaire, Roatan, Cozumel, Canada (BC), California, or Seattle. Thanks. I should be coming home from my deploymen...
Need Dive Ideas Please
csemenko - 12/22/2008 10:38 PM
UPDATE: Trip completed. I didn’t map this out well...thought I wanted to try Disneyworld and the Manatees. We snorkeled with the Manatees at Crystal River Florida. A great trip. We stayed in the Days Inn and did the Snorkel Trip with the shop right behind them. A Very Professional organization. Some groups/people are trying to stop the interaction tours...completely stupid. Enforcing the current regulations and mandatory education/training for staff and visitors alike is the answer. Not renting ...
South Padre Island Input
csemenko - 12/24/2007 6:15 PM
UPDATED: 31 DEC 08. Trip was a success. I need some input on South Padre Island diving. My wife and I are going there for a week and we want to dive. Does anyone have information on shore diving (locations, guides, shops, etc) in the area. We are also interested in some off shore boat diving (rigs, wrecks, etc.). Any information will be helpful. Worst case scenario, I`ll post what I find out while I`m there exploring. Thanks, Merry Christmas and keep blowing bubbles....
