I went there last October.... It was a great place to visit and the water temp was 84-86....amazing.... Vis was 80-150ft and the wall dive and barracuda reef also were great dives there!!!

How long have you been diving? I just have my basic cert but was hoping to get my rescue cert in the near future....Been working way too much lately so it's hard to find the time....This looked like a great dive....again, thanks for sharing the pics...

I have been diving for about 10 years.... all recreational diving...It is one of my favorite activities...along with reef keeping of course!!!

Just out of curiosity....Where is the neatest place you have dove? I hope that is how you say it...I have the opportunity to travel to Costa Rico for work in December and am actually thinking about going only to dive...But don't tell my boss that...:)Haven't done much research on it yet and don't know if the diving is any good down there...Although IMO ANY diving is good diving...With the exception of Lake Plesant...I had NO idea craw dads could get so BIG...GROSS!!

HEHEEH...How funny!!! I have to admit that I do a lot of diving at Pleasant....to keep my self in the water...but I know that Costa Rica has great dive spots....

I have dove the wall at the Caymans, some great drift dives Cozumel, Jamaica of course...but my favorite dives so far have been in the Hawaiian Islands....

Ron...Thanks for all the great info....Sorry my spelling sucks...I am a little more edumacated than I appear.....Now I wish I would have dove in Maui...But this way it gives me an excuse to go back...hehe...Watch out for the GIGANTIC man eatting craw-dads at Pleasant....Thanks again for the info....

No problems... I have seen those GIGANTIC crawdads up there during a night dive....they are all over the place!!!!

Ever want to get a dive in...let me know!!! Always game for a dive!!!!

I'll take you up on that as long as YOU jump in first....That way the crawdads bite you and not me...hehehe ...I haven't been on a dive in over a year and a half....I really miss it....:)

That sounds great do you have a group that goes together and dives each month at Pleasant?
Ron Leversee
08/27/2007, 08:30 PM
There are several that go up...sometimes the same people other times different people...I am hoping to go a couple times a month...when the temps cool off a bit...
