Merry Christmas everyone! We are heading down to Akumal in a couple of days and wondering if anyone has been diving in the area recently and if the diving has been good. It's been a few years since we've been there. We will be in a condo on Half Moon Bay and have always dove with Akumal Dive...

I've been seeing STINAPA's Facebook posts and photos about how bad it is on the east coast and Sorobon. If you are on Bonaire now it sounds like they could use some help. STINAPA Bonaire Sure hope it is not washing up on the west coast or Klein.

Not the greatest of photos because it was so tiny, around 4-5 inches long. Possibly a banded snake eel or a harlequin pipefish? Apparently banded snake eels are not native to the Caribbean though. We spotted it in around 30 feet at Tori's reef today.

We scouted out the entry today but want to make certain it is the right location. There is no yellow marker stone, but it appears someone has drawn an arrow on the asphalt pointing to it on the edge of the road. It appears the jump point is just to the right of where the trail comes off the...

We are thinking of renting a Sea View apartment in Sabadeco for our trip next December and looking for something more affordable (less than $180/night) with an ocean view because by dive buddy needs to watch for the green flash every evening. This price pretty much eliminates anything in...

My wife and I are vacationing in Playacar at the end of February and looking for dive shop recommendations in PDC. We have dove lots in Akumal and Cozumel, but this trip we are sharing a condo with a couple of non-divers and not really interested in trekking over to Cozumel. How does the...

I just read this on the local news site: Shark kills Venezuelan being rescued by Coast Guard in Aruba. Can anyone in the area confirm this as true?

I intend on buying my wife a massage in Cozumel for a Christmas gift and am looking for recommendations. Barefoot in Cozumel ranks well on TA but wondering if anyone has any other recommendations or has used Barefoot in Cozumel?

The Canuck buck is in the toilet and what was supposed to be a more affordable dive trip to Cozumel rather than Bonaire is turning into a money pit, especially since I just found out about the 16% tax to top it all off. Just wondering if it is better to buy pesos in Canada and pay everything...

We are booked for two weeks, arrival January 23rd, staying at Mi Casa, the same B&B we stayed at on our first visit to Cozumel 7 years ago. We haven't picked a dive shop yet and are leaning towards Aldora but wondering if any of the shops offer free nitrox?

We are thinking of trying something different this year and taking our winter vacation to Hawaii, probably January or February. We are leaning towards 1 week on the Big Island and 1 week on Oahu, the Big Island for the manta rays, shore diving and hiking, Oahu, because my wife has never been...

Today is our 19th full day on Bonaire and although we could have safely dived tomorrow until noon we have decided to make it a dry day as we fly home Sunday morning. Tomorrow we are driving up to Slagbaii to hike up to the top of Brandaris and check out the view from the top of the island...

I posted this video in the GoPro forum. The SRP filter is not bad if used at the recommended depths. Granted, I am certain some of these depths are deeper than 50 feet, however if shot close enough to the subject the filter can return acceptable results. Thanks all for your advice and feedback.

Here is some more GoPro footage from various dive sites. Best of Bonaire I have come to the conclusion that my SRP red filter is not suitable for anything deeper than 50 feet unless shot up close. Bad on me for not reading the specs before I made the purchase. For those of you who do not...

We have been here for nearly two weeks with just over one week to go and having a great time shore diving on the west coast. But we decided to try something different and booked a two tank boat dive with Bonaire East Coast Diving. We chose them because of the great Trip Advisor reviews and...

We arrive on Bonaire on Saturday for a three week stay, and our second visit. Next Wednesday a good friend who is on a cruise will be making a stop on Bonaire and I am picking him up in town to take him for some dives. He docks at 8:00 am and has to be back to the ship by 5:00 pm. Since we...

We are returning to Bonaire for our second trip in March and I am already in planning mode for our 2016 dive vacation. We like Bonaire for the shore diving but looking for something different in 2016. Just wondering how the shore diving is in Maui compared to Bonaire, taking into consideration...

Merry Xmas and Happy New Years fellow divers! My wife is looking for a BCD with the following requirements: Back inflate Integrated weights At least two D rings At least one decent sized pocket Cummerbund Under $500 The Cressi Back Jac Elite may meet the requirements but we are wondering...

I think this is fairly new to the market and was wondering if anyone has tried it? SP-Gadgets POV Light It outputs a maximum of 300 Lumens and I am wondering if that would be bright enough for macro?

I am trying to decide between the Switchblade2.0 and the Flip 3.1 for my Hero 4 Silver. I am leaning towards the Switchblade because it can shoot macro with the red filter, however I am concerned with reports of the fragility of the system. I understand that a "new and improved" version was...
