I am deciding between Koh Tao (and the flight/ferry it entails after already flying for 32 hours to get to Bangkok) and Phuket (which is considerably easier to get to. Timeline is mid-March 2024. Comments? Anything you can offer for a woman traveling alone? Not big on nightlife (as I will be...

Although this is nearly a decade later, I'm assuming your information is still correct BillP!!! I'm 2wks past surgery date and hoping to get a dive in by the end of May, so it seems like I should be able to handle it. Have emailed off to DAN to see if they have an official stance on...

You'll have a great time with them - I got back on Sunday. Only managed 2 days of diving, but they were both wonderful. It's a class operation!!! Kim

Brrr!!! We're up to 54 here in NB (Shediac area last Saturday). I'm still firming up details on the trip, but I will definitely be looking for a Bell Island charter, so watch for me, OceanQuest!!! If anyone else, spaced around the province, wants to buddy up... I am travelling alone, so I...

I just learned that work will be making me take a road trip across Newfoundland soon - likely in July. I've been to the rock before, but never dove there. I will be travelling through Deer Lake, Stephenville, Cornerbrook, Lewisporte, Grand Falls-Windsor, Gander, Clarenville, Marystown...

I use an Ikelite DS125 with my A80 (and my A40 before that). Works great - just be sure to get the manual controller as the TTL doesn't work wonderfully with our little cameras. The DS50 would be just as good, but if you are diving most often in dark water (like me) the modelling light of...

Aaah, it's illegal to dive for lobster in Atlantic Canada, so if anyone has actually done it, I doubt they would be giving details here.

Does anyone have suggestions for charter operators for the Nipigon? How much would a charter cost per person? Just wondering since I have to be in Rimouski for work soon and thought I may try to schedule a dive at the same time.

I have the A80 and Canon housing as well. And I asked the same question... strobe or lenses about a year ago. The folks at Wetpixel.com came back with a resounding STROBE!!!! And I listened to them. I bought the Ikelite DS-125 because most of my diving is in water that has 5-10ft...

Also, Sea & Sea does sell an adapter for the Canon housings and wide angle and macro lenses that fit that adapter. Go to www.seaandsea.com and look under Accessories - for digital cameras. It tells you the adapter is for the A20 or A40 housing, but I have it and it still fits the housing for...

I read in the newspaper this morning that one of the ferries that services Deer Island is out of service!! Did you notice any problems with schedules last weekend? Kim

Great to hear you got out - I just wish I could breathe - darn head cold!!! I'd love to get out to Deer Island this winter - let me know when you're heading out if you don't mind someone else tagging along. Kim

I took mine under ice a couple of years ago - think it was an A40 at that point. But the visibility was so poor that I didn't take any photos. I was under for 20 minutes and the batteries were still working so that we could take photos of the ice hole closed up and painted orange afterwards...

This person is pulling your leg!!! The water freezes over in the winter - it's probably about 45F right now. In the summer the water in the Northumberland Strait (between New Brunswick & PEI) is the warmest body of water north of the Carolinas. You may have heard of Parlee Beach in Shediac...

Nope - but the St. Andrews shop offers Nitrox and cheap accommodations while you are in town doing the course ($20/person/night) I was at Beaver Harbour today. Vis was about 5 feet, water temp was 46F. Saw a couple of sea ravens who wanted to play and a crab that grabbed my hand. Vis was...

Corey - I replied to you off-board. $30 per person at McGinnis Landing for the Xmas Party - all are welcome.
