Hello, I am planning a trip to Fakarava and could use some input from those that have been diving there. Is the atoll worth one week of diving? I looked at previous posts and it seems that the dive operators essentially take you to South Pass, North Pass – in a couple of configurations – and...

Thanks for the report. What was the water temperature at depth? I am heading to Bonaire soon and trying to understand if there is any major difference from the summer water temperature. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion, I will check them out, to see if they also have regular meetings and such, in addition to the dives (at first glance they look more like a dive shop than a club).

I just relocated to the Palm Beach area and was wondering if there is any dive club in the Boynton-Palm Beach-Jupiter corridor. From the searches I did, and the thread here on SB, it looks like everything is either in Ft. Lauderdale or much more North than Jupiter, like in Vero. Either way could...

Perryed, can you share something about the resort? I saw it online and was trying to understand if it has direct access to the ocean and any beach or if it is iron shore. Can you elaborate on your fish sightings, please?

And indeed when I started my search for the trip I was kinda expecting Fiji to be on par with other locations in the Indo-Pacific, whose video are spectacular. Mid and large sized fish are there but not so abundant/frequent. Even French Polynesia seems to have a higher fish density, of all sizes...

So it seems that it may be the case where the reef ecosystem is somewhat impacted, with fewer mid-sized and large-sized predators? I am now intrigued by what GreggS said about the Carpet Cove reef at Beqa and wonder if other reefs in the area still show larger animals? Perhaps the regular shark...

Tursiops, thanks for the input. Does REEF publish the data only after a certain number of surveys have been done or just one survey is enough to get published? The data sample would obviously be different and the data would be more/less reliable (although I see they try to normalize the data...

Title aside, I am planning a family trip to Fiji for this July (4 divers) and wanted to get some feedback from the forum on the topic. Having read most of the existing posts, we are focusing on two areas, the Bligh Waters area on Viti Levu and Taveuni/Rainbow Reef, and we will be land based...

Thanks for replying. No technical issue with the GH5, I would get it in a heartbeat - it is out of budget as I am trying to stay in the $1000 ballpark for the camera. The models I listed are in that range. I would prefer a mirrorless to a compact because of the better controls (in general).

No opinions on any of these cameras - or other mirrorless that is not a GH5?

Hello everybody, I am trying to decide on a new rig for video and would appreciate some input. I am trying to contain the budget, around $1000 for the camera. I like to shoot with natural light (70% of the time) or video lights when needed. I am hoping to get feedback on underwater WB...

Hi KathyV, Those are good suggestions, however SanSal does not work well for us because of the flight connections, it is however on my list for a future trip. Grand Cayman is a good option too, but we just went there this summer.and we stayed at CBBR: enjoyed there very much - nice operation...

I am planning a family trip for next March to one of the Out Islands. Because of scheduling/connections etc. I am looking for info about diving at any of the following: - Abaco and Treasure Cay - Eleuthera - Exuma We will be land based - no liveabord unfortunately. We are all divers with good...

Thanks tbone1004, very helpful and appreciated

I am trying to decide between the D2 and D3 sealed first stages for a new HOG reg set. Technical considerations aside, size is another factor (don't like bumping my head against the first stage). I can find many images on the internet, EDGE website etc. of these first stages by themselves, and...

Thanks everyone, it looks like I may also have to check the Apeks for the longer exhausts - I looked at their web site and the XTX50 seems a nice reg for what I need to do. Belzelbub, I only heard good things about the Zeagles, so I am not surprised that you confirm that (aside from the...

Thanks for the input. Are the wide exhausts just an Apeks aftermarket option? I can deal with some "wetness" when in a specific position, just want to avoid something that is wetter than average (had one a few years ago and did not like it, too much clearing). I want to "forget" about the...

I am looking for a new reg, and I am focusing on the following: - HOG D3 (D2?) + Zenith - EDGE Epic 2012 - Zeagle Flathead 7 or Onyx CW There is a lot information on these, however I am looking for info on their second stages, experiences on the following: - Are these dry breathers...
