    Flying into San Jose Del Cabo w/Cam gear...

    Sounds to me that GoPro's are OK.. They might go after your lights though. I will have my GH5 Nauticam housing but am leaving my lights and strobes at home. Luckily the GH5 has great manual white balance. So I might get tagged for my housing and small dome port. From everything I've read...

    Flying into San Jose Del Cabo w/Cam gear...

    Well that's discouraging. Did you have your gear spread out through your checked luggage? Carry-on? How did they determine the fee?

    Flying into San Jose Del Cabo w/Cam gear...

    I heard a couple years ago they were gouging UW photographers for camera gear fees. Any updates on this practice?? Thanks.

    Cozumel makes "No" List for 2020

    Well I must say reading this thread was thoroughly depressing. The Coral blight...Dave and Cristi retiring/changing locations, cats and dogs living in sin! Sheesh! Seriously though, we took a break from Coz last year to do a Philippine dive safari for 26 days. Otherwise we've been doing Coz...

    For Sale XCEL Polar Density 9-7-6mm

    This semi dry suit is in spectacular shape. Bought it new in 2009. Made approx 25 dives with it in SoCal in the first 2 years. Since 2010 it has been unused and securely stored away indoors. Finally came to the realization I won't cold water dive anymore. We are serious Tropical divers...

    Planning first PI dive trip April 2019....

    Good question! I will find out in about 6 weeks :) My understanding though is of the 3 areas I'm going, Tubbataha, Balicasag, and Cabilao, Cabilao is the best for macro. But I think it's more wall macro than muck.

    Planning first PI dive trip April 2019....

    That's some valuable info FT, thanks. I might have to re-visit the idea of PP to Tagbilaran via Manila. The only flight I see on PAL right now, that isn't a 2 day ordeal, has a 5 hour layover in Manila. Also reading some info it's scheduled to arrive in Tagbilaran around 3:30pm. I see the...

    Planning first PI dive trip April 2019....

    Well... We are flying from Puerto Princessa. Yeah, I guess we can fly from PP to Manila... then Tagbilaran. Looking at the schedules, it seems easier to fly at 11am from PP, arriving at Cebu @ 1300... then ferrying to Bohol. Am I missing something???

    Planning first PI dive trip April 2019....

    Exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks!!! Honestly... I travel abroad a bit. I typically rely on hotel room safes. If I know they are available, I bring cash.

    Experience with DiveAssure’s liveaboard rider?

    Thanks for the referral! I called them, theirs is $489 for $8600 coverage. That's quite a bit cheeper than DiveAssure. Thanks!

    Planning first PI dive trip April 2019....

    One month away from the adventure! Time to start making sure everything is ready and prepped. Domestic Philippine air bookings have already been an adventure. Booked initially on Cebu air from Puerto Princessa. That flight was cancelled. Then booked on PAL same route but later in the day...

    Experience with DiveAssure’s liveaboard rider?

    Didn't want to start a new thread when this one seems appropriate. I'm looking at Dive assure for travel and Liveaboard insurance. Must say though... the quote I got was pretty crazy. Me and my wife, covering our air and LOB, no dive coverage, we have DAN for that. Quote was $804. Cost of...

    Planning first PI dive trip April 2019....

    OK, got it ! Thanks all. I booked then upgraded mine to 40kg, and my wifes to 32kg for both legs, that added $66. I can live with that. So, If they do weigh the carry-ons will they make you take stuff out if overweight or allow you to pay a fee?

    Planning first PI dive trip April 2019....

    I have 3- 50lb (22kg) So I believe then we will each get one checked bag included (air+Baggage option at ticket purchase) For my 3rd 50lb checked bag I'll have to pay the 650PHP extra bag fee. Is that correct? Also, with the carry-on, I sure hope I get the same nice folks you got! LOL. When...

    Planning first PI dive trip April 2019....

    First and foremost I want to thank everyone for their help! It's so awesome to have a travel support system like this. I ended up with 2 potential itineraries. One that was extended from the original 24 to 26 days. The second was a 28 day scenario. The 28 day was designed to include...
