    Apeks flight free flow

    My Flight regulator was maintained in Bonaire last time and some parts of the second stage were replaced with the repair kit. Now it works perfectly again. I suggest to bring it to Scuba House in Santiago (scubahouse.cl) and ask for service. They might know how to fix it as they have the most...

    Apeks flight free flow

    Hi, I believe any octo should work with the Flight. I usually check the IP on mine at the beginning of any dive week and the IP is the standard one you see on any regulator. Anyway, I do reccomend the original Flight octo for its lightness and miflex hose.

    Tortola vs Antigua vs. St Thomas

    I did dive in Antigua with Indigo divers as well. Nice but nothing really remarkable. And the boat ride (40min) plus the taxi ride (20min) makes it a long morning trip, though you have plenty of time according to your ship schedule. In Tortola I took the ship operator to dive the Rhone... very...

This was my third "cruise and dive" trip together with my non diver girlfriend, making BVI, St. Maarten, Antigua, Dominica and St. Kitts. I used the ship dive operators in BVI, St. Maarten and Dominica, while I contacted...

    Apeks flight free flow

    Well, it seems that this free flow (or air leak as in my case is very low) is something common to this regulator. I cannot complaint since my Flight has about 70 dives in 2 years and has worked flawlessly. This made me buy a another one for my daughter which was used for the first time last week...

    Trip Report of diving from RC ship to Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Roatan last December

    I want to correct that when I wrote "we arrived at 10am to Roatan", it was ship time, since in Roatan was 9am. So our first dive was the 10:30am dive boat which departed 10 min late to wait for us. Ship time was GMT-5 as all other ports of call, while Roatan was at GMT-6. Peter

    Roatan Dive Excursion: Anthony's Key Resort

    You should double check that, as I was asured by my travel agency that all Ports of Call docking times were local time (like planes), but they really were "ship time", which is usually the time zone of the departing port. All our ports of call were on he same time zone as the ship (GMT-5) with...

    Roatan Dive Excursion: Anthony's Key Resort

    Well, their second dive was always at 10:30am. In my report I mixed up the cruise ship time with Roatan time (ship time was on GMT-5 and Roatan was GMT-6), so the 10am arrival was actually 9am Roatan time, and we managed to get to Barefoot divers at around 10:15, and then they delayed a bit the...

    Royal Caribbean Nov28th from Colon, Panama?

    I have just received another offer, sligthly cheaper from Subway Watersports operating from Turquoise Bay. The price is the same as Barefoot Divers ($90 for two tanks) but transport to/from the ship is included (with Barefoot it is extra $20). I am not sure which side of the island would be...
