I always thought that "wusta" ("woosta") was the town in Mass and "wusta-sheer" was the county in the UK and its namesake sauce.

Awesome-we're booked with PE and Coralia early next year...can't wait!

Yeah, that's about where I was with it too. Compared to the equipment, it's cheap protection. I was thinking camera in housing (LX10 compact in Nauticam, so a little smaller; hopefully w/o removing the tray & handles), strobes, lenses, computers, lights, laptop/tablet, batteries, cables...

I'm in the same boat-new rig, looking for something to travel with. I was looking at something like this: Alta Sky 45D Camera Backpack - Black/Gray Dimensions look to be a little smaller overall and a little heavier than the Endurax (and $$$).

A lot of chemical engineering, and chemical manufacturing & similar industries, rely on controlling temperatures and pressures (and flows, in some instances). As a quick example, removal of solvents, or separation of mixtures via distillation: in general, boiling points of materials tend to...

ChemE, RPI and then Wisconsin. Same, and it also came in handy on the PE exam, especially when calculating dimensionless numbers. And although I'd seen the goalpost method before; never heard it referred as that.

Exactly. The original supposition was that imperial units are a "serious PITA" (meh-maybe) and "[have] no merit." My point being that for about 327 million of us, along with the population of the two other countries that still use them, they do have merit.

PQNLD? That's kind of the point. And yes, if I'd grown up with/worked with SI I'd be happier in that. I've worked in SI for four years of undergrad plus ~5 years of work life and it's still a bit "abstract" to me.

Whether or not I'm in my right mind may be debatable, but honestly? Me. After learning SI in school and then spending the next 20 years in engineering & manufacturing using imperial units, and now the last five relearning SI, the imperial system is what I 'know.' Yes factors of 10 for...

This is pretty much in line with our experience as well. We normally go in December (we'll be there the same week you will) and the water has always been typically in that same 81-83 range; when we were there in April this year, the temps were more in the 78-80 range. Other than the temps...

DR says the Trans-pac is 4.25 lb o_O, plus 3 lead...puts me over the 7 lbs...

Narcosis Dive Center

We each have a checked bag, roll-on carry-on, and a "personal item" bag (in my case a laptop backpack; hers is an American Tourister cabin bag). All of them are "regular" bags (ie, not dive-gear specific bags). In the carry-on rollers, we each carry our regs, BCs (Transpacs), change of clothes...

We did a Park trip when we were there in April...Playa Benge was just kind of "meh" so we came out of the park for the second tank and hit Carel's Vision-that was much better than Benge IMO. We didn't do Candyland & Taylormade, but a few of the people we were there with loved them both, and...

We dove with Pro Divers a few years ago and have friends that dive with them pretty much annually, and can highly recommend using them. If you haven't contacted them directly, I'd suggest talking to them and see if you could work something out.

Total speculation on my part, but Columbus Day?

I use the DR Transpac in all conditions (including a rash guard/board shorts combo shown in my profile pic when it's warm enough; that pic is from Bonaire). It's a "soft" plate, but absolutely no issues with either the shoulders or crotch strap over the course of nearly 200 dives now. I'm at...

Awesome info, thanks all! Let me go see what works for the dive buddies...

So, sounds like Misool>Wakatobi; and it sounds like it may be easier to transfer to since we'll already be in RA. As for the $$...yeah, that's a consideration, but we're kind of treating this as a YOLO trip, and as I saw quoted in another thread by @Luko "You don't travel from the US just to...

:tired: Thanks for crushing my hopes and dreams, Chilly. (I kid, I was nearly certain that this was the case.)
