Thanks for all the tips. It should be a nice combination of diving, snorkeling, and hiking. Now, if it weren't still three months away.....

The trip isn't until April, so it will be a while. I used to be active on the D2D forum, and posted many trip reports there over the years. In any case, when I do get back from this trip, I promise to post an extensive review of Buddy Dive Dominica, the Fort Young Hotel, and the diving and...

Thanks for all the very helpful information! Of our 8 days there, 5 will be part of a ten dive package with a two dive boat trip in the mornings. Afternoons will be free to explore the island. I'll be going with my wife and another couple,including my dive buddy, so we'll be two divers and...

I just booked 8 days in Dominica, with Buddy Dive, and will be staying at Fort Young. This will be my first trip there, and would appreciate any suggestions and comments, particularly about things to do on the island. Dive sites will be in the hands of Buddy Dive, and for the five days I'll be...

I just came back from a two day overnight trip to the Reef with Blue Dive. Great people, comfortable boat (Reef Connections), and small groups. Also, really good food. I just posted a review on Trip Advisor here: Overnight trip on Reef Connections to the Barrier Reef - Review of Blue Dive...

I stayed at Bohio a few years ago. I do have a report on Trip Advisor and D2D, and also posted a report with Undercurrents. Kelly was running it then and it was an interesting experience. At that time, the resort had nothing that was advertised on their web site. No gourmet chef who gave...

I have a G10 and have been very impressed with it. At 14.7mp you have plenty of room to crop, it's ergonomically well thought out, and is solidly constructed. I really like the top exposure compensation dial and the dedicated ISO dial. At lower ISO settings, 200 or less, it compares very...

All G10's will shoot RAW and RAW with JPEG, as well as several varieties of straight JPEGS.

This woman must be a legend by now! I couldn't go anywhere on the island without her name coming up.:eyebrow:

Well, the Belizean Shores water taxi usually calls it quits about 9:30 at night. The other alternative would be to rent a golf cart...then you'd be free to come and go as you want. Of course, you might find one of the boat drivers who would be happy to pick you up any time and shuffle you back...

Spent 9 days at the Belizean Shores Resort, which is about 3.5 miles north of San Pedro. Incredible place...large apartment style rooms with kitchens, friendly staff, beautiful pool, and good food. It's an easy walk to a few north end restaurants, or a $5 water taxi into San Pedro. Got in...

The camera was spotless when it came back, but that's an interesting thought. It makes sense. I emailed Olympus' customer service the other day and am still waiting to hear back from them. If I hear nothing, I'll take it in to my local camera shop and see if they'll clean it out for me. I...

Probably. :11:

I always keep mine at ISO 100 for underwater shots. Regarding zoom....I will use it very sparingly to help frame a shot, but I clearly understand its limitations, especially in an underwater environment. I find it much better to just crop my shots when doing my post processing.

Just over a year ago, I had my sensor replaced under the Olympus recall for bad Sony sensors. It showed the typical purple lines across the LCD indicating sensor failure. All the work was done at no charge and the camera works fine. When it first came back, I noticed that I couldn't depress...

I'm another 5050 user and always seem to get great results with this camera. I had the sensor replaced recently under their sensor recall but, other than that, the camera has been rock solid. I use the Pt-015 housing with an Ikelite DS-125 strobe. I also have a Canon Rebel XT digital SLR...

I haven't been to Grenada, but did a lot of research on it this year as a possible dive destination for our group's 2008 dive trip. Although not rated very highly as a dive destination, almost everyone i spoke to ...who had actually been there ... had only positive comments. The consensus...

I always wonder how much longer I'll be able to dive, so your comments are really good to hear. I once buddied up with a guy about 80 on a dive trip. He was slow and deliberate, and a total joy to dive with. I'm 61 now and started diving in 1962. I'm hoping, barring any unforeseen illness...

I'm considering Grenada for a February, 2008 dive trip with a group of friends. From what I've been reading, the island has recovered from its hurricane damage and is pretty much back to normal. I've also read some good things about the diving and the dive ops there. I'd really appreciate...
