    Looking for opinions on 67mm flip adaptors

    Some pretty good pricing on the I-Das right now. Your review seems mixed. After several years, are you still using this? Presumably it would work slight better with a +7 diopter, but wondering if this is one of those "you get what you pay for" items and I should be spending more on a Saga?

    Fiji Airways Baggage Allowances

    Got back last week. My experience: - For the LAX-NAN flight (and the return flight) they did not seem to care about carry-ons. Saw many people with two bags, including rolling backs that likely were over 15lbs. Didn't see any carry-ons being weighted. - For the domestic flights...

    Fiji Airways carry-on warning

    Getting ready to fly to Fiji tomorrow. LAX to NAN. Then a week later Suva to Taveuni. Then 5 days later Taveuni to NAN and NAN to LAX. Without having flown, I'm thoroughly unimpressed with Fiji Airways. Was looking at an additional prepaid bag, but it's unclear from the website whether that...

    Fiji Airways Baggage Allowances

    Was going to call the airline to see if the domestic flights would have the international rules since they are all on the same ticket (in this case all booked with Fiji Airways directly). Sounds like that's the case, so that's helpful. Thanks!!

    Fiji Airways Baggage Allowances

    About $3,500 more for the RT from LAX, and that doesn't help with the domestic RT from NAN to Taveuni. Hoping I'll find some strategies that either work within the existing allowances or a reasonable way to add a second bag.

    Fiji Airways Baggage Allowances

    I'll check with my travel agent. Couldn't find anything about that online - hope they still do it.

    Fiji Airways Baggage Allowances

    Planning a trip to Fiji in 2022 that will include both international flights (round trip LAX to NAN) and domestic flights (RT from NAN to Taveuni). Their baggage allowances don't seem remotely diver friendly. International 1 checked bag up to 66lbs 1 carryon up to 15lbs 1 personal item...

    Oceanic Question

    Thanks all! I was able to update in the OceanLog software, but am also playing around with Subsurface.

    Oceanic Question

    There doesn't seem to be an Oceanic group here, so I figured since Suunto is also Huish I'd post in this group. Decided to finally try to download from my VT 4.1 to my PC. It looks like the only software option to do that is the antique OceanLog software, since DiverLog+ is only for Mac...

    Fiji Airways - weighing carry-on bags at SFO?

    So, just to make sure my understanding is correct. With a regular (non-business) fare, you get one checked bag up to 50 lbs, one carryon up to 15 lbs, and a small personal item? And it looks like costs for second checked bag, overweight bag and oversized bag are pretty steep. Similar...

    Taveuni diving vs. VoliVoli diving info wanted

    I'm going to Beqa in late-May with a small group. Added on 5 days in Taveuni afterwards. When I was planning for the group, info below is what I was told. If you have the opportunity, it seems like a good idea to hit another area, such as Volivoli. 1. Rainbow Reef (Somosomo Strait) -...

    Fiji Airways - weighing carry-on bags at SFO?

    Where did you find the fine print? I've been poking around on the website and couldn't find it. My carry on and my backpack are both issues due to camera gear and laptop. Going in May. Likely not business class.

    Turquoise Bay vs Anthony's Key

    Looking to plan a trip to Roatan for two divers (one who dives regularly and one who is getting back into it) for May or June of 2018. I've found good specials for both Anthony's Key and for Turquoise Bay. I'm haven't found much for direct comparisons between the two, but wanted to try to get...

    Seeking Feedback on Matava EcoResort in Fiji

    Hey folks - I have not been to Fiji before. I have the opportunity through my LDS to do a week at Matava Resort in Kadavu for a really good rate. Looking for feedback on: 1) Quality of dive operations 2) Quality of resort/accomodations 3) Anything else you can tell me. Appreciate any...

    Real world review of the AOI DLP-04 acrylic mini dome port with Olympus PT-EP10 housing

    I ended up recently getting this port to work with my 9-18 lens. Also picked up a used 60mm lens for a good price. Do you need to use a shading ring with the 60mm lens, or is that only an issue with the 9-18. They seem expensive for what you are getting, but not sure I want to use tape or...

    Prednisone for Ear Issues

    After having some severe ear issues while diving in Utila 6 years ago (and milder issues on some previous trips), my ENT back home (also a diver) prescribed me a combination of Prednisone and Flonase to use as preventative measures for subsequent trips. This combination has been pretty...

    Real world review of the AOI DLP-04 acrylic mini dome port with Olympus PT-EP10 housing

    Could I not do the same thing with a $10 filter (as opposed to using permanent marker directly on a somewhat pricey lens)?
