    St. Maarten Information Needed.

    I did 2 trip there. My last trip was 2 weeks ago. We went with octopus both time. They now have a place at Bobby's marina in Philisburgh, parking is 1$/h. Their main operation is at Grand case. We way prefered the dutch side. Nice wrecks and quite a few sharks. The reefs are boring on both side...

    Puck Pro - self battery replacement failed twice, instructions needed!

    My buddy had a similar problem, had to change the battery and the second one (a cheap generic one) showed one bar after a few weeks (was it days??). Anyway, he found that the latest firmware from mares had a battery consumption improvement. (As stated in the firmware release notes). He did the...

    DCS and tumor (cancer)

    From what I read, survival rate is better than it was (80-85%) but there are overall more and more cases and it seems to hit younger women.

    DCS and tumor (cancer)

    Very lucky since she didn't have any symptoms except for those she had post diving. At some point she considered canceling the the appointment to the doctor because everything went back to normal after a few days. She has always dived with me and was anxious to dive with a group of strangers...

    DCS and tumor (cancer)

    Hi medical folks, Here is my wife's story with breast cancer and how we found out about it. Some will say the connection between scuba and the diagnosis of her cancer is anecdotal but it is a welcome anecdote. Last week of April she went to Turk and Caicos with one of her friend. On Sunday...

    Are there any wildlife that actually want to harm us?

    My buddy was attacked by a titan triggerfish. He didn't expect it and didn't like it :)

    Cuba Scuba

    I went to Cayo Largo in January. I was impressed by the dive boat, way better than what I was used to in Roatan or San Andrés. However, from what my fellow divers told me it is the exception of the rule. The reef is very healthy, lot of marine life including nurse sharks, tarpoon and eagle...

    Mares puck

    I have a puck since 2009. Like it very much. Bought it because of its low price. I really don't mind about the one button design, however I understand it might annoy some people. Underwater, having one or three buttons doesn't really matter. I recently bought the puck pro because of its two...

    best travel fins

    From my recent experience, they offer average performance in current. Lately in St-Martin, on a surface swim with my gf and I (we both have accel) we had to struggle a little to keep on with the group. We are both experienced and relativaly fit. There was a slight current. I wish I had my...

    best travel fins

    I'm just back from St-Martin, i bought a pair of accel for that trip. They do pretty well the job at both flutter and frog. Not very powerful but enough for vacation diving. I used to travel with slipstream but I find them too big to travel with.

    St-Martin trip report

    A dolphin, That ain't bad at all you are right. The funniest thing about it is that my wife and I were the only ones to see it. That was her first caribbean dive. At some point I just turned around to look at her and I saw the dolphin in the 25'-30' range. We were about 20' behind the group so...
