I'm ready to buy a new camera and underwater housing but would like to avoid the issues I've had in the past. Once I got to depth using a compact Sony camera in an Ikelite housing, the buttons were REALLY hard to push in. Also I'd like better usability than having 2 or 3 controls that need to go...

Me & my bf are making a cruise ship stop 11/14 in Barbados, and are hoping to dive the Stavronikita wreck. We need critical mass of a few more divers to devote the boat to the Stav, rather than making multiple stops to beginner-friendly sites. Not that plain old shallow Barbados wouldn't be...

Thread split from the discussion of the loss of the Oriental Siren. while we await 1st-hand accounts, I'm curious about the weather meltdown in the S China Sea, and when some of you who live around there suggest making the trip. I happened onto this thread while reading up on Timor - had...

today doing more East Timor recon & came across this The best diving in Thailand on liveaboard S/Y Oriental Siren good news that everyone returned safe & sound but what a strange article - I quote : "we believe that the vessel has been lost. To date, interviews with the boat crew and...

I found a couple of Easter Island [Rapa Nui] trip reports, but not from people who went when I'm going - which is this July, the middle of their winter. Would love to hear from anyone who's been there, thanks !

I asked my Little Cayman dive operator if the non-pressurized flight we took from Grand Cayman "counted" like a regular commercial flight, as far as taking the prior day off from diving. The people at McCoys told me it affected you exactly the same way, since the puddle jumper was maybe 5,000...

I'm planning to visit turks and caicos around thanksgiving with some friends who aren't hard core enough divers to do a liveaboard, any thoughts on where the best dive sites are? or suggestions on where to stay besides provo - with 9 days we could split it up. From the posts on this board...

after a decade and a half of tropical diving, I've joined in on a little science experiment in the Hudson River this summer. my buddies who dive around NYC and Brooklyn all the time confirm that what we had was true "zero visibility," and I think they know! before I spend way too much on a...

Love this board, I just keep reading even though it's 3am in NYC and time to stop being an internet junkie. Just figured out how to read the personal messages and mine said why not say hi here, so hey everyone! I like to go way out of my way to dive and this is the 1st place I've found so...
