Anyone have reliable info on the depth at the wheelhouse on the Kittiwake, specifically at the wheel where people pose for photos? I'm wondering if a youth limited to 40' can reasonably dive there and other upper parts of the superstructure since the vessel heeled over. I've been there as...

Couldn't find a good answer on their website, or here in the forum, so here goes. Anyone who has done the Nautilus Explorer trip to Guadalupe recently, could you please give me a detailed rundown of how you enter and exit the cages? I have a bum knee (healing fx) and am thinking climbing from...

Haven't found anything on this topic in a search. My wife has a fantasea RX100iii housing, in fine condition, but she broke the little shutter that covers the RX100 lens such that you have to jiggle it with your finger to get it to open when powering on. Obviously, not good for a housed camera...

Looking for a twin to unite with my current galvanized HP100. Anybody in the bay area have one to sell? Willing to drive to pick up, or meet in Monterey. Slingshot

A buddy of mine and I will be diving at God's Pocket this summer (arriving July 31, 2016) and I was wondering whether any who have been could give me tips as to whether there was anything in particular I should pack besides the usual stuff for a drysuit diving trip. Thanks!

Hi, I'm looking for a used Nauticam RX100 (Mk I) housing in good or better condition, no floods, clean glass. My budget is $500, let me know if you might be interested.

Since people were kind enough to answer some questions I had about diving on the Peace, I figured I should post a few words on my experience diving with them last week, on a day trip to Anacapa. I spent the night before the charter aboard, but didn't make it to the boat until 11pm so I didn't...

As posted elsewhere, I am scheduled to be on my first Alaska diving liveaboard, which will be my first cold water liveaboard. I have restarted diving locally in Monterey with a new drysuit to get some experience before the trip, and will dive as much as my schedule allows prior to the trip to...

Hi, I'm a new owner of a compressed neoprene drysuit with latex seals, and will be doing a liveaboard later in the year. I wonder how many of you travel with your own replacement seals and cement/glue to do repairs? I have been told to use McNett seal cement, which comes in 2 oz tubes and 4 oz...

I'm not in the dive business, but while I was at a conference in Monterey a few weeks ago I saw that the Seven Seas Scuba location in Monterey has closed. I have since learned that a new dive shop has opened in the same location, BreakWater Scuba, just across from San Carlos beach park.

Can anyone point me to photos of the interior of the Peace dive boat, eg the salon and the bunk room? I am planning a trip aboard this summer, but wanted to know what to expect of the interior, and more particularly, of where I will be sleeping. Thanks.

I'm just getting my first drysuit kit together and wanted advice as to sizing of drysuit gloves. The fourth element G1 liner fits me perfectly in medium. It is a tight fit wearing them and the blue Atlas type drygloves in medium. Should the drysuit glove fit pretty snugly over the liner, or...

Has anyone tried using four video lights, and if so in what configuration? I've seen Peter Walker's posts on wetpixel where he used 3 Sola 1200s. I remember years ago seeing a post where someone used four D-2000 strobes. I presently have two Sola 1200s, and am considering adding another pair...

Anyone going aboard Spoilsport in July?

I'm going to be in the Mauna Lani area in Kona this December and was looking into their op. They say they run 6-packs, but I'd love to hear first hand experience about diving with them from a recent customer.

Title says it all.

I'm going on my first trip to the Caymans in a few weeks, and was wondering whether there is a traditional local item that makes a good gift to bring back for family at home, both for adults and for kids. On my trip to Saba last year it was Saba spice and JoJo's glass beads. It would have to...

I'm going to be arriving at Miami International at 5am on a redeye in August, and my next flight leaves at 2:40 pm. Any tips with what to do with the time? So far the options I've gathered are best summarized by: 1. Go to an airport bar (I'm not really a bar type guy) 2. Buy an AA Admirals...

Can't delete the thread, but I've gotten a satisfactory response already!

For those who have traveled solo and roomed with a random person, what have been your best and worst experiences with them? I'm doing a liveaboard solo for the first time later this year, and need to get my head in the proper frame of mind. My friends' best advice, which reflects upon the...
