Hi, Does anyone have any experience with this watch style computer? It seems pretty slick. I've done some research on the company, and I really can't find much. It appears they are trying to get into the US market with a facility in the US. Thanks! Billy

Take a look at my trip report that Dan mentioned. It was from just a few months ago. The POP is not a luxury boat, but it was fine for my expectations. Let me know if you have any questions. Billy

Thanks for sharing, Dan. Looks like it was an eventful but fun trip. Billy

We didn't get bacon. I wish! I didn't hear any complaints of the bottom deck bathrooms backing up.

Yeah, just overnight. Woo pig! Billy

I did a lot of research before making this trip. The general consensus was Garuda is the most reliable but you pay for it. The other airlines, NAM, Lion, Sriwijaya, Batik, etc., are all about the same in reliability and service. I decided to factor in some down time in the event of a delay. We...

For our 15 year anniversary, the wife and I wanted to do something special. We had considered Raja Ampat but ruled it out due to cost. We kept coming back to the idea so we decided to just do it. Our 2 requirements were not to break the bank and Nitrox. Also, if we were going to take this trip...

I just came back from this trip. We got roundtrip tickets from Houston to Jakarta with a connection in Tokyo on ANA (code shared with United on the Houston to Tokyo legs) for $700 per person. We arrived in Jakarta a little before midnight. We overnighted in Jakarta for a little sleep. We took a...

I believe I answered my own question.

I'll give another plug for ScubaFun. John will take care of you. I did like the Catalina Island excursion. Billy

The wife and I made our annual trip to Bonaire June 10-18. This was our 8th trip in 8 years. We have seen a lot of changes over the years. Flights-We live in Houston. We took the United out of Houston. There were no issues. For the past couple of years, the return flight direct to Houston is...

Kona Diving Company isn't on your list. However, we had a good time with them about a year ago. I can recommend them. I highly suggest the manta night dive. It is freaking awesome. Billy

We've been to St. Maarten/St. Martin 4 times since 2009. This last trip (end of March/early April 2017) we did some diving on both sides of the island. I'll give a side-by-side comparison. A little background on us: St. Maarten was our first "blue water" diving after getting certified in 2009...

Thanks all!

The wife and I have an Indonesia trip planned for fall. We need to downsize our gear. We are currently hauling around ScubaPro Twin Jet fins. They are bulky and long. I do love them though. I've been researching good travel fins. The Eddy's have come up many times. I've found the weight on the...

I agree. The wall dive is a must. I think the best advice given is to dive the first tank on Nitrox then switch to air. See how that works for you.

How's your air consumption? You don't need it for the pier. I didn't use that op for boat dives when I was there. However, I'm glad I used Nitrox on my boat dives. I was getting hour plus dives. Not sure I could have done that 4 dives a day without enriched air. If I was planning for long dive...

We are Divi owners. When we are in St. Maarten, we dive with Ocean Explorers. I'd strongly recommend renting a car.

I'm headed back in March as well. Our last visit was about 3 or 4 years ago. We did our boat diving with St. Croix Ultimate Bluewater Adventures (SCUBA). We also teamed with N2theBlue for a guided night pier dive. We did self-guided pier dives the next day by renting tanks and weights from...

Another vote for Ocean Explorers. I actually like SXM diving.
