I am headed off to Aruba in less than a week. A month ago I developed a minor toothache. I saw the dentist and he couldn't find anything and told me what I wanted to hear "lets wait and see". Well, last night I saw a surgeon and he said I have a crack under a capped tooth (the reason why it was...

SEALIFE DC310 REEFMASTER (SL148) $100 or best offer! I bought this somewhere around 2006 then after 2 years of use mostly snorkling in Aruba (for a total of less than 500 pictures in under 7 shallow dives) I was gifted a later model. This is a great little camera and I've taken great care of it...

OK folks, I've been to Aruba many times and am quite intimate with the island, but not as a diver. I've dove there no more than 5 times and each time with USA-the same few sites, Molmok, Antilla and Pedernalis reef. This year I'm looking at JADS primarily cause I hear so many good things about...

You all probably know that Captain Phil Harris captain of the Cornelia Marie on The Deadliest Catch lost his life to a stroke on 2/10/2010 http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/deadliest-catch-phil-harris-moments/

Anyone check this out yet? I was watching ESPN outdoors and they advertised this. It's been a long time since a piece of boat electronics caught my eye. Assuming the transducers dont stick out too much and it has the power and water penetration for the canyons, (and it doesn't cost an arm and a...

I just got a Mares Sten Mini Mini. I wanted this gun for the days I decided to bring my camera and spearing a fish for dinner was a secondary consideration. The manual is less than clear on setting this thing up but I think I got it. I do however have a few questions I am hoping you guys can...

I'm looking to extend my season a little and I am not looking to get a dry suit (not for a few years anyway). What's the best products out there to stay warm in the cold NY area waters? I have a 7 mil hendersons hyperstretch suit. Are there suits known for the warmth that perform better than...

Fellow captains, in the Cozumel area there is a very interesting thread. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/cozumel/313548-pool-closed-today-commentary-wednesdays-squall.html Basically a strong storm rolled through actually sinking several boats and forcing others to abandon their divers as they...

When I was in Cozumel 3 weeks ago my GF took this picture through the window of a closed art gallery in the center of town. We passed by on 3 different days but each time the gallery was closed. I was wondering if anyone in or going to Cozumel could stop by and get me some info on the painting...

My dive club is looking to spend a week in November next year in Aruba. While I've been to the island many times, I am only recently certified and know little of the dive ops there. Also, the hotel where I stay does not have any dive operations near by. So here is my question, do any of you know...

I posted this: Here (dive medicine): http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/diving-medicine/311857-stings.html But got no response. I was hoping you guys could help. My wrist seems to be about as bad as ever. Looks like a rash. Blisters. Raised and the areas where the stings are concentrated seems...

While in Cozumel last week a few of us came back with some nasty stings. All but one of us had little clue we even got stung. For myself, I felt a little pain at the time it happened, like a scrape but it passed in seconds and did not bother me a all. But 3 days later I began to show a rash...

So I managed to get out just before the hurricane. A friend was scheduled to stay till Tuesday. We left Saturday. I heard earlier this week that shortly after we all left a few trucks came in and dropped off the dolphins form the "swim with the Dolphins experience"! Hotel Cozumel was chosen...

Joe, on my recent trip to Cozumel my "shoot" button kept sticking in the down position. After a few incidents I found that rapping the camera sharply on the heal of my hand seemed to pop it back up again but this was only possible if I wasn't using the strobe. A friend on the same trip had a...

I'm used to going to Aruba which, as you probably know, is known as "one happy island". I've been saying in my mind that Cozumel is "one wet island". The weather is one of the reasons you go to Aruba. I'd go to Cozumel any day rain or not. What a great little island! I stayed at Hotel Cozumel...

I just last night attached my DC800 to my brand new strobe. Got the flash-link stuff all set up and working (major kudos to SL & their incredible technical team). I shot a half dozen pictures in my house yesterday and man, that flash is powerful! Seriously! all the pictures were very washed out...

I have the DC800 (since it was rolled out). I just bought an SL960 strobe. Unfortunately it was a demo unit. I got it yesterday and there was no box, no instructions, & even no camera mounting screw (I'm going to have a conversation with the retailer for sure on that one). I got the manual...

Are US travelers checks a good idea for travel to Cozumel? Is it a good idea to change some US $ to Pesos before we leave? If so, a little or a lot? Speaking of Pesos... what is the conversion? Just so I know if someone asks me for $300 pesos for a beer I want to know if I should buy it or not.

My GF uncovered someone who posted on a Cozumel board that he or she had issues with the quality of the food on the meal plan at HC. Their complaint was that it was not maintained at the proper temperature so several people got sick. Anyone have any information on this? Maybe this person who...

Do you guys watch this show? Did you see the season end where the captain of the Steve Irwin, Paul Watson, intentionally rammed the Japanese whalers as they attempted to transfer a whale form a harpoon ship to the mother ship? All moral issues aside, is this guy nuts or what? And what do you...
