Just a quick post. We cannot say enough about how wonderful the Dive Dominica/Castle Comfort staff was to our Dive and Travel Adventures group. We had a wonderful time. I was a little nervous about the food due to past posts, but it was for the most part very good and in some regards the best...

I just went to Dominica and used my new HD video setup. I have never posted a video before (just made DVDs for friends and our scuba club). I thought I might give it a try when I finish my trip video editing. Ok I will admit it I do not have a clue about how you accomplish this. If there is...
