Where are the best places to travel and scuba dive? Where can I book my scuba diving vacations?
The best places to travel will vary widely based on your experience, your certification level, your tolerance of cold water (gear also), and what you want to see.
You can book your travel a variety of ways:
1. You can arrange your own airfare, hotel, and diving once you choose your destination. This allows for the most freedom in your schedule. This also lets you be most flexible in the costs of the trip.
2. You can travel with a dive shop or dive club. The price and schedule will be a little more restricted in this case, but I have been on some awesome dive shop trips.
3. Some travel agencies will book scuba trips. I am wary of these as many times the people arranging it are not divers and they are just going off the best commission that they can get.

i would like to purchase some vintage dual hose regulators and wetsuits and nobody at the scuba shops sells them. I’ve checked out the websites online too… does anyone have any they don’t need anymore? I will take them off your hands for free if in good working condition! ..
Ebay is the best bet but expect to pay a little although vintage scuba gear isn’t normally used much any more so it can be picked up quite cheaply. Just remember that it is hard to keep vintage gear in good working condition as the parts are hard to come by and servicing is difficult so most vintage gear cannot be used diving any more.

What are the best fins, brand name, for wet
tsuit diving?
THERE IS SCUBAPRO, CRESSI, MARES, AQUALUNG, ETC.
AS THERE ARE MANY TO CHOOSE FROM, I WOULD SUGJEST A PAIR THAT’S NOT TOO HEAVY SO AS NOT TO
PUT TOO MUCH STRESS ON YOUR LEGS WHEN YOUR DIVING FOR A SPECIFIC LENGTH OF TIME…

I was wondering if i could buy all of the Scuba Diving equipment for my own use? Do you need a permit? etc?
Yep, you could actually. You could buy just about anything to do with scuba other than a rebreather rig. The kicker is, to use any of it, you need a C card to fill a tank. All those thousands of dollars you spent on gear is pretty pointless unless you can use it with a 10 dollar air fill. No shop will fill a tank without knowing you are a certified diver. The profit simply isn’t worth the liability.That simple and a very good control measure. It’s worked for years. Greed in this case works well. It costs more to deal with litigation than to skip a C card check.
