Excellent video Rick. Will be there for New Years and am very much looking forward to it. Where did you stay? I will be at Itza and wold be interested in any comments that you might have if that is where you stayed. Jason

Hey JD! Was good to dive with you on the 12 April trip....and thanks for the use of the rental wetsuit. I hope that your return to Seattle was smooth and that your luggage arrived with you (although less important ant on the return home). Jason (and Colleen)

I have been to Wakatobi twice, but not on board the Pelagian (other than to take a tour of the boat...very nice). My understanding and observation is that the Pelagian cruses a wider area than the day boats from the resort. That said, the Pelagian does indeed spend at least part of the trip...

Down2bizDiver...I had a similar experience regarding the Hurgada transfer. I was on the 12 April Red Sea Aggressor trip with my daughter and although we flew into Marsa Alam, our departure was out of Hurgada at 10:50AM on Saturday. We were on a domestic flight to Cairo. The Aggressor travel...

Eric, Is your Vyper Air still available? When did you purchase it? Any scratches? Perhaps a picture please. Jason

Aquaman, I know that your message was posted several months ago, but was wondering if your Micron regulator is still available. If yes, am I correct in assuming that it is just the regulator and first stage (ie no octo)? Jason

Michael, Thanks for the reply. Are the Funlight, Base and REVOlution still produced? Like the Extreme LiMn, these have external charging and the handle that I miss on my Photon. Keep up the good work. Jason

I have been on the DN twice, both times in RA. It is a great boat with a great crew...please say hi to Wendy and Yan, the lead dive guides. As for the number of dives, it will be four on most days, but there may be one or two days where the boat needs to move a significant distance and you only...

Michael, i am the happy owner of one of your Photons. I am thinking of purchasing a second ling and was wondering if you could compare and contrast the Photon with the Extreme LiMn. I like the handle on the Extreme LiMn, but am wondering how the two compare with respect to brightness, burntime...

Phil, I stayed at Villa Markisa last August for four or five nights and can highly recommend them. Food and accommodations are good and since the place is relatively small, you will not be crowded on to a boat when you want to dive. In fact, when I was there, they were waiting for a new...

I received an email in early October from New World Publications (the publishers of the book) saying that they were offering advanced copies of the book. Here is the link Reef Creature Identification - Tropical Pacific ; maybe there are still some signed copies available. I agree that there...

I got an advance, SIGNED copy of the new Humann-DeLoach book on Tropical Pacific Reef Creatures Identification (not Fish Creatures as referred to in the previous post) and can assure you that it is excellent. I will no longer need any other book for reef creatures. Get this and the Reef Fish...

I was on the Komodo Dancer last month taking 10 days to cruising from Labuan Bajo on the western edge of Flores back to Bali. We were lucky enough to be able to spend a couple of days in the south side of Komodo and Rinca islands to see the mantas, but most of the trip was in the warmer waters...

Scuba E, I have been to all three of the destinations that you are considering and like many others, my vote would be Raja Ampat (RA) on a liveaboard (the Paradise Dancer is an excellent choice; others in the same category would be Damai, Arenui, Seven Seas and Archipelago Explorer). In terms...

Michael, Thanks. Seriously, if there is some way to engineer a handle for my Photon I would be very interested. Even happy to send the light back to you if you think that it is something that can be installed/added after the initial manufacturing. Jason

Michael, et al, I am the very proud owner of a MB-Sub Photon. Took it on a dive trip to Komodo, Indonesia recently and was very pleased. Thanks. My only possible recommendation for an improvement - and I am wondering if this might somehow be available - is an optional handle similar to that...

A quick sidebar to this thread... As of 1 August 2010, the Indonesian authorities (at least in Jakarta) have done away with the full page visa sticker. Now it is done electronically and all you see in your passport is a small stamp similar to that in most other countries. Do not interpret the...

I was in Lembeh late July of 2009 and was able to wear only a full 3mm wetsuit without getting cold. I think however, that I don't get cold quite as easily, so would recommend at least a 3mm and hooded vest for most people during the June-September period. I would add that above water, there...

NWFLYBOY, My understanding, having flown on Express Air from Manado to Sorong, is that the baggarge weight limits vary depending upon the type of aircraft being used. In my case, it was a turbo prop, so the limit was only 10kg. From Jakarta, they will use a jet and I believe that the...

Jeremyl, I wouldn't worry too much about the layover in Manado on the way out. My Lion Air flight detarted Sorong on time at 9:15, arriving in Manado at 10:05. The Silk Air flight departing Manado for Singapore leaves at 13:05, so there is a 3 hour lay-over (or margin for error should the...
