lthomas32 - Thanks for the info, especially about the bugs. We will stock up on the repellent. I was a bit curious how far the Mango Inn was from UDC. Hard to tell from a map, but I do hope they have a truck or shuttle to get me from the hotel to the dive center. UDC did tell me that they...

Hi Everyone, I've been doing some searching about UDC, but haven't seen too much. Has anyone stayed at the Mango Inn and dived with Utila Dive Center? If you have, could you provide some insights on the facilities and any any recommendations for food, nightlife, etc.? Also, if you have any...

Has anyone had any experience shooting GoPro in 4K and when editing, performing that editing in 1080p? Is there any gain or loss in quality of the video? Thanks.

Thanks all. At least I know I will be able to send an email or a text.

For most of my dive gear, I believe in having equipment that is reliable and easy to care for. However, in the case of a dive tool (a.k.a. knife), I don't see the need to buy something very expensive. I have a stainless steel blade from UK that has served me well for about 6 years. While it...

I was reading literature about the Cayman Aggressor and it stated that there was complimentary wifi, depending upon where/how the boat was located. Does anyone have any experience with the wifi while on-board the Aggressor boats? Was wondering if it would support Skype, so that I can stay in...

Thanks shawrg! Looking forward to the trip. While I have seen my fair share of barracuda, I have never seen a snagletooth.

thanks for the info! And Yes! We are on the same trip! ---------- Post added July 19th, 2013 at 04:32 PM ---------- Thanks Amy! I love diving with the sharks. We get plenty of them here in NC. Hoping to see another type besides a sand tiger.

I use a 5 mm now. I used to use a 3 mm in the summer, but sometimes on a long slow dive, you can get a bit chilled. A 3 or 5 should do you right. If you come in the spring, bring the 7 mm. I used to dive the north east quarries in a 2 piece farmer John 7 mm. Still have that suit, which comes...

I'm booked for a live aboard trip with the Cayman Aggressor in late August. This is my first time to the Cayman's and I was wondering if the dives will be all about the little fishes or will there be any big game (i.e. sharks, whale sharks, etc.)? Thanks!

I was going to start another post, but glad I saw this one first...thanks Scotttyd. I am doing the Cayman Agressor in August and plan to bring a suitcase, my dive gear suitcase, dry box for my camera gear and a small backpack. Will there be additional storage outside of my cabin? I have a...

Well...not going to hit the 200 mark this weekend. This damn low pressure system is parked over Morehead City and won't budge. Managed to get one dive in on the Indra with 20 ft of viz. Interesting dive it was, though. Lets just say that my dive buddy and I had to play baby sitter. Some folks...

I carry EMT shears, which come in quite handy. I have always carried a knife. I use it quite often to fight off sharks and crocodiles. However, I don't recommend getting an expensive knife, unless you have money to burn. If you get a cheaper knife and you drop it when battling the creatures...
