Utila or Roatan - extraordinarily high VD rate in the Chica's, especially the honduras mainland girls coming over for the weekend parties. And also...keep your tongue in your mouth.

Just got back from a week in Roatan. For all of you thinking of going: Weather sucks, NoSeeUms are everywhere, no visibility, coral is totally bleached, there are no fish, malaria is rampant, the beer is bitter, the food is contaminated and tastes awful, and the people are horrible. STAY...

Hey Chilly, Wal-mart is not even close to the lowest prices - Didn't you happen to read their national class action settlement two years ago with most state attorney generals - summation, they were required to change the "Lowest Price" to "Low Prices Always" or a similar derivation. They were...

Hey Diver Dave - No offense but that is a bunch of crock concerning the price of food - I heard all of that BS before we went this past summer. In moorea, at the Moorea Pearl - a huge burger with cheese and a basket of fries was $9.35 USD. At the Intercontinental Bora Bora the same item...

Hey Chilly, Afraid of computers, let's see at the time I was working for Skyway Frieght Systems and was integrally involved with the massive airlift of parts to IBM Boca Raton for the initial manufacturing runs for the PC XT. I probably have had a computer longer than most, and considering I...

Hey Florida, Unfortunately if you die or are a vegetable your "at my own risk" doesn't mean diddly to those who want/need to collect money for your care/loss of income/death. The courts are full of loving brothers/sisters/mothers/fathers/"former best friends" all suing the pants off each...

I don't know what United States of America you folks that are getting your FD air fills from or are buying your own compressor and filling all your buddies, but...County of Los Angeles, and I would imagine every US fire department other than volunteer have regulations that strictly prohibit...

Hi Bonaire, FYI the Tiputu pass is a very fast drift dive, but completely devoid of live. All of the coral in the pass is dead. The "pass" dive is actually a reef dive that ends up in the pass. The drift is strong so the amount of time in the pass before surfacing is onlt a couple of...

Hey Sarah, There were several recent discussions on diving in FP including Rangiroa. Synopsis: 150' + visibility, great marine and coral life, amazing cobalt blue waters, a lagoon that is so vast it seems like a waveless ocean, and weather that is awesome (in August when we went this past...

It doesn't matter if you are dealing with a bad LDS or a bad on-line experience. No two shops or on-line stores are identical. FWIW its great to have the on-line option for those of you who live in an area where there are no LDS, or the only one is a poor excuse for a retailer. For my money, I...

Hey Mark, There is quite a bit of information and recent discussions on the temp in August for the Cooks - go to tripadvisor.com and select the cook islands discussions forums. Synopsis - Aitutaki will be approx 80-82 degrees +/- in August. This is also the dryest time of the year. Fiji will...

We vacationed in FP this past summer (Moorea, Bora Bora, Rangiroa) and we did not find it "expensive", at least compared to eating out in LA. We found that most restaurant dishes were the equivalent of $17 to $28 US per person. Wine was $25-35 for a nice French wine. This is no more than what...

I got the housing at B&H Photo / Video - over the phone order to confirm in stock status.

Hey Mike, You're not staying very long in either location, so I would suggest a two dive day in Moorea with Top Dive - set up Shark dive and Reef Wall dive. That will give you a fun sample without using an entire day. Moorea really should be explored - I would suggest renting a car or taking a...

I spent two weeks in St. Lucia over the New Years holiday. As far as diving locations/ops, Marigot Bay is a great location. I dove 6 dives with Dive Fair Helen (located in Marigot Bay). Owner Andre is a marine researcher and runs a top flight ops. Also, you are only a 10 minute boat ride to the...

Spent two weeks in FP this past summer. Dove with Top Dive in both Moorea and Rangiroa. Execellent ops and the DMs let experienced divers enjoy their dive without interference. Translation, great bottom times and no pairings with inexperienced divers.

In June, I am spending 2 weeks in Aitutaki and Rarotonga. Anyone have input on a good dive op in Aitutaki? Also, recommended dives? Appreciate the feedback

Hey Scuba, I have the B-2 and love the performance. As far as service - the B-2 only requires 2 year service intervals. Unless you dive 52 weeks a year, it should be no major issue to send it to the factory for truly expert i.e. they made it, repair. Also several of my buddies who dive with...

St Lucia Jan. 2 112' = 81 degrees - same as surface.

Hey Inland, IMO - Get a set of the bio fin XT "C" (spring clips) and you will wonder why you ever used anything else. Proof is in the ease of use, extraordinary control and great power. There is a reason why these fins place #1 every year in the annual "Fin Tests" of the magazines.
