    St. Lucia shore diving

    After reading about the top reviewed dive sites, my wife has already bowed out of Superman's Flight, as she isn't comfortable with strong drift dives due to a bad experience in Coz - so I'll be hitting that on my own. Hopefully the one tank afternoon dives will have some milder current dive...

    St. Lucia shore diving

    Thanks for noting that - in a similar concern, we plan to have our land activities in the morning & after a long restful lunch hour, have a dive in the afternoon. We're going to plan our big Grand Piton hike on our last "gas off" day.

    St. Lucia shore diving

    I've search the past several years of threads on St Lucia diving, shops, good sites, etc, but I have found nothing on the shore diving experience @ Anse Chastanet. My wife & I are traveling there the end of the month & plan on hopefully an equal amount of hiking, site seeing & even mountain...

    Unknown Cozumel: Horrible dive accident...

    To be clear, we were 20 ft from the body...arms extended outward FACE DOWN, BC at least partially inflated & tank exposed. The speculation & negative vibe of many replies is just not what I expected from this post. We (the four of us on our boat) simply were hoping for news details.

    Unknown Cozumel: Horrible dive accident...

    Today our boat of 4 divers finished our last dive of the week this morning on Yucab, & on the way back to Blue Angel we came upon 3 dive boats with captains only inside, carefully circling a diver face down, tank up & BCD appearing inflated. Our DM said it was a "dive accident" but no one was...

    12 year old Amphibico Sony video housing service?

    I just learned that the Amphibico housing company was acquired by another Canadian company, Aquatica several years ago. My housing has over 300 dives on it over 12 years & has delivered fantastic worry free performance until last week. The record button (electronically interfaced with the high...

    Sudafed in Cozumel with prescription?

    Many years back, I mentioned to my GP doc during an annual physical that I had problems with clearing my ears, usually just the first couple days of a multi-day dive trip. Being a diver himself, he right away suggested Afrin. I swear by it now. I just use 1 squirt in each nostril before my...

    Blue Angel Dive Report

    Well after carefully watching the many posts regarding both Coz & travel protocols, my buddy & I decided to get out of Dodge & book a week at our favorite dive operation....& second home, Blue Angel. With a careful awareness of our "personal space" & surroundings, I think this can be safe...

    Windy Weather

    Hey could I get a recent report from a diver there now, or recently what water temps have been? Flying in the Sunday after Turkey day & asked our dive shop - they reported 83 F, but the last couple Nov. trips I've been to Coz my 'puter said 79 - 80. That report on the high side? Thanks!

    Trip Report Bonaire Trip Report 12/29/18 - 1/5/19 (+ Hat Tip to SB!)

    Great trip report - thank you! I'm leaving frigid Minneapolis in a few weeks for a 5th visit to Bonaire & this will be our 1st time staying at Den Leman for the 4 of us. I have read in the past that there are fresh fruit stands around the town on certain days - do you have an update on where...

    Bonaire our way: a trip report

    "... We like Telerin because they accept Amex, allowing us to use the Amex rental insurance. The truck was just as worn as the ones we had rented from Telerin before. We did glance enviously all week at the shiny white AB Car Rental trucks, but Telerin's quote was about $100 less, and the $25...

    Bonaire Trip Report 11/14-11/21

    'Just have to chime in on this o-ring issue - based on now 5 visits to Bonaire. Toward the end of our 1st trip nearly a decade ago, the 4 folks in our group were getting pretty tired of noisy bubble trails coming from our valves (actually, this is JUST a nuisance - how much air do you really...

    Diving the Madeira Wreck - Exposure Protection?

    I've been to the Madeira site four times over the course of the last 10 years, & I would always wait until after Labor Day. Looking @ my logs, the September water temp was around 50 degrees F until 60 to 65 ft, when the thermocline dropped the temp just a couple degrees. I wear an O'Neill "J...

    I thought that was the case earlier, but even folks with lightning fast bandwidth (I have 10 MB/sec Infinity cable), get the 360 default.

    Amphos troubleshooting: Depth and Temp are the only data displayed during dive

    It does indeed sound like you went into gauge mode. I am eager to hear more responses to your post. I had a similar problem on a liveaboard trip that I recently returned from. I had used my brand new Amphos Air (fortunately with my old stand by Atmos AI...), set gas 1 only to 32%. It worked...

    YouTube Settings & Defaults

    I've posted many of my trip videos on YouTube. After upgrading to a high end Sony HD camcorder, my last several videos have been uploaded to my YouTube channel in either 720 or 1080 HD (last one from recent trip with Cayman Aggressor attached...). I am wondering if anyone knows if there is a way...
