    Dive computer necessary?

    There is definitely a huge difference with brands of computers and how liberal they are. The aeris computers we use at Tranquility Bay give about 10 minutes more dive time on the average profile we are doing on a second dive compared to the Suunto. We have had a couple of guests put their...

    Selling gear without actually having it.

    Does anyone have any experience with selling gear from a resort or dive shop in that the manufacturer would actually send the gear to the person when they arrive at home? Living in a country with extreme customs and duty makes stocking a shop unprofitable/uncompetitive. As well with technology...

    Tropic Air Flight schedule timing and transfers

    Peter I believe Diverrex was saying that they didn't care much about the weight and not "the care" of the bags themselves. They don't seem to follow their published weight limits at all. However, if your bag is excessively heavy it may come on a later flight. cheers, Carlos

    Top Ten Dive Sites on Ambergris caye

    Just talked to my dive master and he says he won't take people to love tunnels. The reason is that it is very dark and you cannot see the exit. There is a cavern style opening that people tend to get "stuck" in. The reason is that the exit is low and people go up instead of following the...
