Hello!
Hello, all! I completed my PADI OW certification earlier this month and stumbled across this website while killing time waiting for the weather to warm up so I can get in the water again. I finished my certification while my wife and I were on our honeymoon in Mexico and got to do some amazing dives while were there. I spent a day diving on Cozumel and got in 4 cenote dives. I'm back home in Massachusetts and looking forward to seeing what our cold waters have to offer.

Cold waters in Massachusetts ought to offer some big tasty lobster! lol
Welcome to the SMN Community, how was Coz diving?

There's tons of lobsters around here. They're probably wasted on me, though....I'm funny about food and won't kill any animals. I'm trying to figure out if I'll collect any for my mother in law and sister in law, who LOVE lobster. Gonna have to figure that one out.
Cozumel was awesome. I really loved it. I got to do a couple of dives on paradise reef and saw some awesome fish. Really nice good sized Rainbow parrot fish, some nice-sized barracuda, one really cool crab. It was a good time. The cenotes were amazing. It was just really great to be able to see them and explore them. Good time all around.

Ok, so if you thought Coz was awesome, and the Caribbean has an average of about 50 different species of hard and soft corals, try the Philippines, which has an average of about 450 different species of hard and soft corals.

That sounds really awesome, but Cozumel is a 5 hour flight for me, whereas to travel to the Phillipines is a 25 hour trip. Having spent 6 years of my life living overseas when I was younger, I think I'd rather dive nails through my hand than spend 25 hours on an airplane....lol. I might do it one day, but for now I think my upper limit is about an 8 hour plane trip. Maybe Tahiti some day soon.....Originally Posted by The Publisher

drive nails, lol.....if you're on the east coast, yes, it can be a bear...but I sleep most of the flight...it is a 16 hour flight for me.
For the North/Central American region, I am interested in the Domincan Republic and diving with and filming the sperm whales.....
