    The viz at the bull shark site (big scare) was quite a bit better than the viz at the second site. There were some transient injections of blue water at big scare and during those periods I would say the viz was up to 30ft. Looking forward to seeing your pic mblazer. I posted one of my shark...

    Reefs,big animals, warm water in Caribbean ?

    Thanks all for your thoughtful responses-- We're looking at mid April- early June time frame. Also, didnt mean to imply that I wanted to see all the animals on the list.. just increase my chances of seeing any and still have Caribbean conditions . My wife does not want to do a live aboard..

    Reefs,big animals, warm water in Caribbean ?

    For my next out of the country trip I want to cater to my wife's interest (warm water, reefs, not too deep), but I would also like to have a good chance to get close to some big animals (mantas, sharks, eagles, sea lions, etc). Where in the Caribbean would be a good bet for this ? We have been...

    Costa Rica, where, worth the trip?

    We just returned from a week at Ocotal.. I can highly recommend them as dive ops... safe, very friendly and knowledgeable. As well as local diving, we did Catalina one day and Bat two days. I could have done Bat every day... the dives there were awesome: octopi, eagle rays, lots of big morays...

    Uemis SDA-- excellent customer support !

    To be fair, I'm not quite sure it actually "failed". I transport the SDA in a plastic box which is a little tight and I think one of the switches was accidentally pressed on for my flight home which caused the SDA to totally discharge. It took a while to charge back up and did some weird things...

    Uemis SDA-- excellent customer support !

    After one year and about 90 dives my Uemis SDA mis-behaved after my last dive trip. I had originally purchased the unit from the online store in Switzerland (no US distributors at the time), so I called the company and was told I should send the unit to Switzerland in to be checked out. I sent...
