Have trip to Bali and Raja Ampat planned for three weeks in December. What should I expect in terms of water temperatures? What wetsuit is recommended? Thinking of bringing a 3 mil plus a hooded vest.

Thanks for all the great advice. I think I'm probably going to go with the buy a cheap phone approach since (a) I don't have an old phone that I can get unlocked and (b) I will need to be reachable (and able to reach others) even when I'm not in wi-fi range.

I am going to be spending two or three weeks on Grand Cayman in August and would like to find the most economical way of making cell calls back to the US. (I will need to make frequent calls to check on a family member that is ill). In the past, I’ve simply used my US cell phone...

If I do that and am using an external strobe, do I need to attach the diffuser? I'm guessing not, but figure it doesn't hurt to ask.

I know there are other threads talking about this subject, but I have a couple of very basic questions. For many years I used a Oly 5050 camera and Oly housing. But the camera died and I purchased a Canon G12 and WP DC34 housing. Admittedly, I didn't do my homework as much as I should, but I...

We have a new macbook pro. We can't seem to get it to download video shot on our Sony HC7 minidv camera. Andy advice?

Divetech. No one else comes close.

Thanks. I shared your videos with my wife, who is still trying to find time to post some of her Cayman videos from this summer on YouTube. We've been diving Cayman for nearly 20 years and have been diving with Divetech since 2001. This summer we were there for around 3 weeks and the Eagle Rays...

Very nice eagle ray video. Do you happen to recall which divesite its from?

I'll second the recommendation for diving with Divetech. We dove all three of the sites you mentioned (plus Cemetary Reef) during our last trip with them.

I loved Sea Hunt as a kid and a couple of years ago I found the entire series on DVD on ebay. We now take a volume of the DVDs with us on dive trips and always get a great reaction from our fellow divers (land based or live aboard) when we offer to have a "Sea Hunt" night!

In the mid-1980s, long before we were married, my wife and I each discovered the Caymans. We've been going there together for the past 16 years about once a year. We found Divetech and Cobalt Coast in 2001 and last year took the plunge and invested in a share of a condo at Lighthouse Point...

Took the camera on two dives. Tried various settings. Sometimes the strobe fired. Sometimes it didn't. Even more confusing, there are times when it definitely fired when the photos still turned out almost totally dark. Other oddity: one of my mymode settings defaults to the XD card. The...

Yes, I'm still shooting with my 5050! Its been a year since I last took it underwater and I'm confused. The various MyMode ssettings I used last year all have the flash set at slave, but my strobe won't fire. On the other hand if I set the camera on Program, with the flash set at auto, the...

Will be there through the 25th.

My wife and I have been diving in Cayman for more than 20 years and this August will mark our 11th consecutive year diving with Divetech. While we've taken the plunge and bought at Lighthouse Point, we still spend a lot of time at Cobalt Coast. Jay and Nancy and the rest of the Divetech staff...

I'm supposed to be heading to Fiji this weekend and was hoping for a relatively current report on water temps. Thanks
