Just left one of the pockets from my Dragon on the bottom in several hundred feet of water off Daedalus Reef in the Red Sea in late June: the pocket dropped on contact with the water during the giant stride off the boat, and that was that for that dive. Finished up the rest of the week (with...

Thanks very much for the pictures! I was aboard a dive boat (Ocean Frontiers) in Grand Cayman this past December, and another person aboard experienced a nearly identical Miflex HP failure upon initial pressurization of their rig while still at the dock. Their hose also failed in two places...

Just FWIW- we literally just got off the Carnival Legend in Tampa after the 4/1-4/8 sail. We were to be in Cozumel on Wednesday, and had booked a two-tank in advance through the ship. Come Monday evening, we found a notice in our cabin inbox that the Coz dive trip had been cancelled due to...

Just did the WIT Shoal (among a lot of other sites) with Aqua Marine out of Bluebeard's Beach Resort during a week's stay in December. Wolfgang and Ana and their staff are great people and run a very good op. We look forward to getting back down there and diving with them again.

Nobody has mentioned Agua yet. Very, very nice restaurant, Mediterranean cuisine. And they do in fact have the best ceviches on the island (they have 4 or 5 to choose from, and serve a sampler to boot). Like all the other suggestions, but Agua is a hidden gem...

Well, as long as the thread has been resurrected (so to speak) anyway, might as well weigh in with our "creepiest dive" story. We were at Stragglers Rocks on St. Thomas with Aqua Marine just before this past Christmas. We were just finishing up a very nice dive, the first of the day. The other...

That was a blast, especially cramming all 6 of us into the rental rollerskate to get back to the hotel at the end of the evening. Great fun! Surface intervals definitely go better with rum, IMNSHO. It was a pleasure meeting all you guys. Can't wait for the next trip down island!

One thing I do intend to do is to get a spare Oceanic hose-based HP QD setup, and graft it onto my new brass and glass SPG for the save-a-dive kit once I get my own Pro Plus before the next trip. That way, if one of our AI computers craps out, either my wife or I can just swap the old SPG onto...

I don't have many dives in when compared to everyone else here, but I do have some experience with transmitter failures. Since very early in my career I've dived hoseless AI (Oceanic DataTrans Plus, purchased new in '97). This was a nice setup, in that the computer was hard-synced to the...

PMs sent. Maybe see you guys in the next couple of days!

Roger that! Those folks across the street take "over the top" to a whole new level. We're on the early boat tomorrow- look for ya on the dock! Brown hair (mostly), gray beard (mostly), and Chordrider has the short spiky red hair. Prolly both wearing lavacool tees...

Scuba Claus brought both Chordrider and I Lavacore short sleeve shirts, which we then proceeded to break in this morning at Eagle Ray Rock and Smith Cove out of Sunset House, GC. And I am happy to report that those suckers work great. Comfortable, perfectly warm for us in 79degF waters, and dry...

First time poster, lurker, long time (although sporadic) diver. Just wondering: Anybody else from SB down here at Sunset House for the holiday? Chordrider and I are here until the 29th. I've been seeing the meta posts lately talking about SBers talking about SB, and decided to throw caution...
