    Oceanic+ iPhone Housing - Phone Battery Life

    Thanks. It doesn’t seem like your housing has the same issues mine does. Mine doesn’t ask for Face ID or a password because the phone never goes to sleep once in the housing .

    Oceanic+ iPhone Housing - Phone Battery Life

    Opening the housing does not seem reasonable on a surface interval on a 6 pack boat. How disappointing. If I am not using the dive computer function I should be able to let the computer use battery-saving settings.

    Oceanic+ iPhone Housing - Phone Battery Life

    I really enjoyed taking photos with an iPhone on my last liveaboard trip. The phone remained awake from the moment I closed the housing to when I opened it again and it was killing the battery life on the phone (not the housing, which has great battery life.) I was able to charge between dives...

    Palau - Entry Form re: Medication

    For anyone who finds this thread in the future - I did select “yes” for drugs, said 12 quantity, $200 value, and in the notes box wrote “for personal use only” and it was no issue. They asked if we had anything to declare at customs and I said “some medication for personal use only” and they...

    Palau - Entry Form re: Medication

    That would make sense but it actually says “prescription or non-prescription.”

    Palau - Entry Form re: Medication

    Question for anyone who has traveled to Palau - The online entry form asks if you’re bringing drugs and we always travel with some OTC staples (Advil, Sudafed, Immodium, etc) and a couple of personal prescriptions. It seems like the form is asking me to list each separately. Can I just list...

    Henderson Thermaxx - only in stores?

    It sounds like you’re layer it with other items? Any favorites? I’m thinking about bringing a vest.

    Henderson Thermaxx - only in stores?

    Does anyone know why the Thermaxx suits are only allowed to be sold in stores while you can get the Thermoprene Pro suits online? I’m stuck between these two suits and am wondering if the fuzzy layer on the inside of the Thermaxx (“Fire Fleece”) makes a significant difference in warmth and...

    Surfing Wetsuit?

    Any reason not to buy a surfing 3 mm wetsuit for a dive trip? I’m having trouble finding a decent selection in 3 mm wetsuits in Northern California and someone suggested that I go to Santa Cruz, where they say I can find a half dozen surf shops with 3 mm suits I can try on. I’m a curvy size...

    Where to shop for a 3 mm suit?

    I’m going to Palau next month and I need a new 3 mm wetsuit. I’m a curvy woman size 12-16 and my usual Henderson suits seem to be a miss for me in this size range. I think I’m a 14 short, but can’t find anywhere that has one in stock, even to order online. The 14 is very long even though I’m...

    Palau Aggressor - Feb 2024

    Thanks for this great info and your video is amazing! I love sharks and I hope we get to see mantas! Do you happen to remember if there is soap, shampoo, or conditioner in the shower? Also is there a hair dryer in the room? (This isn’t about vanity - I have long thick hair and can’t sleep...

    Lunch choice for Sam’s Tours Palau

    “Lunch is included; choices of bento boxes: chicken, pork, beef, fish, or veggie plate. OR Sandwiches – ham and cheese, tuna or egg sandwich. Let me know your choice.” Usually I’d pick the chicken or beef bento. If the fish is great, that’s an option for me too. Any thoughts from what you guys...

    Palau Aggressor - Feb 2024

    The charter info says they supply hooks but I’m thinking of bringing our own because a friend recommended a longer length and they aren’t expensive. Currently have a couple with 6’ lines in my Amazon cart. Also bringing SMBs and Dive Alerts for the BCs. We have never used reef hooks but I’m...

    Palau Aggressor - Feb 2024

    This is our first big dive trip we’ve booked independently rather than going with a dive shop group. Husband and I are both 200-250 dives, AOW & Nitrox. We’ve paid the balance and booked flights, hotels, and transfers. No visa needed for Americans. Anything you think we should know? Anything...

    Add a vest over or under full suit?

    It won't be hooded because I have a lot of hair and HATE wearing a hood. (The hood in my profile photo is a drysuit hood so the hair gets to stick out the bottom in a braid.) Whatever warmth I get, I get, even if its not ideal - but I will wear it underneath the full suit. I will also bring a...

    Add a vest over or under full suit?

    I’m trying to get a bit more warmth out of my 3mm suit when I dive the cenotes around PDC next month. I usually wear a 5mm full suit on these dives but I’ve lost weight and only have a 3mm in my current size. If I buy a 3mm vest, would I wear it over or under the 3mm full suit for the most...

    Roatan & Cozumel

    Seems like Coconut Tree Drivers in Roatan is a good shop (I also posted on the Cozumel board) so we're going to book with them. Thanks for the advice on Cozumel - I will take it!
