I'm arriving, or at least current ticketed to, on Saturday at 7:30. CozumelAntonio, can you offer information on the ground as to what conditions are like? Unless flights are cancelled, I am looking at making a go/no-go decision on Thursday. I have experience with hurricanes on the Texas coast...

Okay, you just got back. Who'd you dive with? What did you see? Any good stories to tell about the experience? What were the sites? Details, details, details. You can't just leave us hanging like this. By the way, it's Guam, not Gaum. U before A.

I also saw this program. Great photography of the wrecks and dive sites. But as usual, diving and TV just don't mix that well. Overly dramatic commentary about the dive procedures. Same goes for the recent show about diving in the Amazon river. Interesting photography, but long on drama...

I read in today's online Saipan Tribune that there were two more deaths at the Grotto over the weekend. Anyone have details? Was there a tour operator taking people out there in bad conditions, or were they on their own? http://www.saipantribune.com/newsstory.aspx?cat=1&newsID=48913...

So did they drop the urns in, or did they scatter the ashes? As they say: From ashes to ashes, From dust to dust, when a person is cremated, an urn is a must. Ron

Speedos, but covered with a sarong after I peel the wetsuit off and I'm able to get into something more modest. No need frightening the topsiders and the small childen.

This is what the Channel 3 site has about it: http://www.thekcrachannel.com/news/4438503/detail.html Lake Natoma is a good place for diving on a low-flow day, but snorkeling is pointless. Post info if anyone knows more. Ron

I've had lenses made for two of my masks through Aquatic Optics in Irvine, CA. Their phone number is (949) 263-8611. You will need to contact them and confirm that your mask can be fitted with special lenses. They will need a copy of your prescription that you can get from your optomitrist...

I was thinking about things that one could do underwater that are more commonly performed on dry land such as riding a bike, playing board games and tag football. And then I recalled the day that I found a really cool kite half buried in the river silt. When I freed the kite and held it by the...

MP3 Player: Just bought an iRiver iFP-890 (256). I did a lot of research before buying and so for I'm happy with it. It's my first MP3 player and now I'm wondering how I have survived without one. Popup blocker, Firewall and Anti-virus: you can't go wrong with Norton. Spyware: Try Ad-Aware...

Ron: On your Helix, which dive mode do you use for multiple dive days? I know the timer is supposed to stop when you get to 5' of depth, but what about the SI? Do you have to manually start a timer to calculate SI or does it track it automatically? I bought one a couple of weeks ago and...

Cool. Let us know how it works for you. By the way, I don't work for Timex! Ron

Yes. In the dive log mode it will start timing your dive when you hit about 5 feet. At the end of your dive, it stops timing and will show dive (bottom) time as well as your max depth. Mine has worked well with the only gripe being that you need to reset it for your second dive and you don't...

Dude, You forgot the link. Is this the one you were talking about. This is the one I have. At $40, it's a bargin. I paid $120 a couple of years ago. http://www.campmor.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?memberId=12500226&productId=37466554 Ron

Having recently gone from analog to computer diving, I was faced with the same problem. I first console-mounted my Genesis ReAct but quickly found that I missed my analog gauge for fine tuning my accent rate (OK, I like dials). Thus, the analog went back into the console. Now I'm finding that...

Alarm (loud enough to wake me), stopwatch (chrono), Dive log, dive chrono, timer, alternate time zone, 24 or 12 hour display. Oh, and it's also a watch. Time and date display. Comes in blue. Ron

I have been using a Timex Helix that has a dive log function. Provides bottom time, max depth and temp. While you are diving, it looks much like a dive computer to provide current depth and timer to show how long you have been below 5 feet. After surfacing, it shows max depth and bottom time...
