I can relate. @ValkyrieDesigns - I'd be interested in hearing about your stuff, though my bikini days are long gone. What works for me: -DiveRite BP. Always felt like BC's smooshed the girls, issue getting to pockets on the BC. BP so minimal. -2 piece exposure suits. I can get different...

Very cool~ congratulations. I agree diving is so freeing, like flying through water. We routinely dive with a gentleman who has CP. Our last trip he showed up with one of the 'toy' DPV's > lighter, smaller, infinitely more manageable and he and his wife both said it was a game changer. Less...

@Green Frog > nice grey Angel! Woo hoo!!! Welcome back to travel. Glad the first post Covid trip went off well, except for the light. Sadly due to personal situations, I did not get a fall dive trip in. Family, finishing building a new house, my Goddaughter getting married this weekend, and...

Thank you ScubaBoard! A few folks reached out and arrangements have been made to deliver!

And can help a girl out by carrying a small baby gift to the Buddy Dive Shop? One of the DM's is expecting his first child in July. I crocheted mobile of sea creatures - fish, starfish, lobster, crab, octopus, squid as a gift. Hanging off a small wood hoop attached by fishing line. Weighs at...

Bamboo Bali has a fantastic restaurant, if you can get in, and if they are open > Chefs. Pre fixe, innovative, attentive, awesome.

Nice report. Like your 'River of Fish' as that describes the Parade of Wrasse perfectly!

YIKES!!! Glad it worked out and buddy is ok.

Always enjoy your content! Thank you!

@scubadada - I didn't mention it, using a Canon G16 in a Fantasea housing, Sea and Sea tray, S&S YS-27 DX strobe. Love the setup, the housing provides access to all controls, like a second skin. LOL - thanks @Green Frog that was a totally unscripted. I dive with my head on a swivel and just...

Thank you all, and many of my pics were far far better than what I posted. These were the goofs, especially the Angel who came at me. I used to processing & print my own work. UW is a steep learning curve giving me a far greater appreciation of those who do it for a living. @rmorgan > I do...

After returning from Bonaire last week and evaluating my pics (fish butts, blurry fish butts, washed out fish butts and...more fish butts) I've decided I need to invest some time and effort into this UW photography thing. I know I should be getting better results from this camera. (OK, they...

Nice report! Thinking of going back to GC for a week in September. I remember doing those swim throughs the first time and thinking the exact same thing "these really are overhead environments" and not feeling very comfortable. I had to be coaxed into entering. Didn't feel my guide adequately...

Thanks @agmason, enjoy and wish I was heading back soon! Yes, yes and yes. If we are boat diving, we've been signed up for a couple days (may i suggest a couple dives out to Klein if possible. Especially the South side, a wide sand plateau, shoulder, then down the side.) Bonaventure to...

@morecowbells - in the interest of positivity I will only say there are far, far better places to eat. Leading to - where we ate & what I remember of us eating & drinking: Unmarked Chinese Restaurant, just north of Bamboo Bali > literally if I didn't see the lanterns hanging, I would not have...

This was the 17th straight year for JustUs Divers at Buddy Dive, 2 weeks, one week is just not enough. Your milege may vary and past performance is no indication of anything. JustUs is a spoof - for years hubs and I traveled and people would ask if we were there with a group, to which he would...

Update - heard last Friday (March 24) that Curaçao chamber is down as well. Think I heard staffing issues. Closest chamber is Columbia. Dive safe!

Plenty of mozzies. I'm a fan of Deep Woods Off. Interesting, I didn't use any this trip and got 2 bites in 14 days. My squad did not fare so well, even wearing bug spray. I buy the econo size, buy little 2 oz spray bottles off Amazon and pack maybe 3 little bottles. Keep 1 in my handbag and...

It’s terrible! Don’t come! Joking of course. Showing 80-83 ocean temps. Air comfortable mid-80’s. Viz 50-100 site depending. Winds down. Few waves making even south sites pretty accessible. No ripping currents. Did East Coast Diving morning 2 tank Monday. Highly recommend it. Seeing...

@somniosus - hiya Dr Chris! Were you by chance on Buddy Dive dock about 7:10pm Thurs 3/23? Big dome port camera? We were chatting sharks, fish behavior, etc. Got to room and thought, hhhhmmmm, could it be that small a world?
