I love finding sand dollars at Anna Maria Island. The only problem is I can’t hold my breath in 10 ft water very long. So I would like to know of any cheap Scuba Gear near there for a couple people. (do you have to have a certificate to rent the gear?) Thank you all.
Yes, you have to be certified to rent both the gear and to have a tank filled. You could always snorkel it instead.

Water weighs 62.4 Lb/ft^3
at 130 ft the column of water above him weighs:
130*62.4=8112 lb
That is aso the presure acting per square foot. The pressure per square inch is:
(8112 lb/ft^2)/(144 in^2/ft^2) = 56.33 psi.

Just because winter is right around the corner doesn’t mean that you need to lock your bike in the garage. There are plenty of places where the sun is warm, the air is cool, and the scenery will take your breath away. Winter provides the perfect excuse to get out of your local environment and take your chopper on new and exciting adventures. In this article, we’ll take a look at five of the most beloved bikers choice locations for a wintertime motorcycle ride.
Southwest: Las Vegas, NV to San Diego, CA – 333 miles
Bikers Choice! It doesn’t matter what time of year it is, Las Vegas and San Diego are always nice and warm, and so is the path between these two interesting cities. On this trip, you’ll ride through beautiful Lake Havasu, Lake Gregory, the infamous Death Valley, and Palm Springs. Make sure to budget extra time in San Diego and in Vegas, both of which are ideal to tour from the seat of a motorcycle.
Pacific Ocean: Big Sur, CA to Ensenada Mexico – 500 miles
Bikers Choice! Coast Highway is one of the most scenic views in all of America and the view continues down the coast road into Mexico. On this tour you’ll experience a wide range of scenery from the natural rocky coast of Big Sur, through the beaches filled with sunbathers in Los Angeles and San Diego, and down into Mexico where the food is delectable and the manana attitude promotes relaxation.
Arizona: Cottonwood, AZ to Eager, AZ – 210 miles
If you’re seeking a relaxing tour with little traffic and lots of scenery, this motorcycle ride through Arizona’s state route 260 is ideal. High deserts and dense forests paint the backdrop as you cruise through some of the United State’s most interesting landscapes.
Florida: Orlando to Key West – 393 miles
Bikers Choice! This trip takes you from the home of Disneyland, to the tip of the Florida mainland, and across the gorgeous blue waters as you ride through the Florida Keys. If you’re looking for a shorter ride, start your trip in Fort Lauderdale or Miami, but don’t miss out on the amazing cruise over the long bridges that connect the keys.
Baja Mexico: San Diego to Cabo San Lucas – 1059 miles
Bikers Choice! This is a trip for the serious rider. It will take you approximately 15 days to cruise from San Diego down to the southern tip of Baja Mexico. Make sure to set aside some cash to pay the tolls along the way. Once in Cabo, there is no lack of relaxing ways to occupy your time like fishing, golfing, snorkeling, and scuba diving.
Before you set out, be sure to gear up with all of the proper safety equipment and any custom motorcycle parts that will make your trip more enjoyable. If you don’t want to worry about towing your motorcycle to your starting destination, find a place to rent one in the area. Whatever you do, don’t set aside your passion for riding during the winter months-consider the season a reason to have an adventure!

We’re going to Dahab to do our open water and advanced courses. Is it cheaper to get a get a mask and snorkel in London, or wait to get it in Dahab?
You’ll need fins too. I’d purchase them prior to going, personally. You shouldn’t be all about saving money, you should be all about getting the best you can reasonably afford and what fits best. That gear doesn’t take up that much space in luggage and there won’t be any surprises when you get there, since preferably, you’ve already tried it out in a local pool.

because i once saw a underwater show and they kept sticking this thing in their mouth to help them breath, is that possible to buy? or is it crazy expensive and not for sale for just people who want it?!?
By your description, I think you mean what is called a Spare Air.
Check the link below for more information.
http://www.spareair.com/product/models.htm
As far as purchasing one, the last I checked they ran about $300.00.
Our store http://www.visibilityunlimited.com used to sell them but because of the high cost, not too many people were interested enough in them,
You can buy them but in order to fill them with breathing air, you would need to be certified in scuba diving.
If what you are talking about is not related to a spare air, then it is probably a Scuba Regulator.
http://www.visibilityunlimited.com/page/scuba/CTGY/Scuba-Regulators-Octopus
The regulator can, again be bought without a Scuba certification but since the scuba cylinder that it attaches to needs to be filled with air, you would need to show a scuba certification card before it could be filled.
The spare air only lasts about 30 breaths at the surface. The amount of breaths is shortened the deeper you go underwater,
At 33 foot of depth the number of breaths go down to 15.
