Two sides of the same coin. Some things of which you know with certainty are true are actually false. Some things of which we know nothing about, and don't even know that we know nothing about, are true and present.

Some flights to certain dive locations have strict baggage limits, and flashing extra cash won't get you anywhere. For most international flights I can check 64 kg for free. But that doesn't help when I get the last flight on a small propeller aircraft to some remote island where the weight...

A steel B/P is a very poor choice if you ever decide to fly somewhere with your gear.

Yeah, but the budget rooms are extremely depressing.

I did a lot of solo day and night shore diving at Puako. There were a lot of whales, and I got to listen to whale songs all day. One day I dropped to the sand outside the reef at 130 feet. Got narc'd real good. Layed on my back and listened to whale songs until it was time to head up and start...

I pee in my drysuit. The weight of urine that drains to my feet keeps my feet from floating up.

I left the Teric on the charger and forgot about it. About a week later it was 100% charged. I don't how fast it got to 100%. I took the Teric to Cozumel for 10 days of diving. Just returned home yesterday. The Teric seemed to work just fine. It dropped to 75% after about 5 days, so I charged...

The last time I flew Continental, the aircraft broke down and we got stuck overnight in TX. Continental gave all of us passengers vouchers at a hotel that was closed for remodeling. We went back to the Continental ticket counter, but Continental refused to offer an alternative. After 100 of us...

When we had to fly Continental through TX to Cozumel, we made the sub-1 hour connection only half the time. But there weren't any other options unless we went to other airlines that required 3 flights and 2 connections.

There is NO WAY I would dive in the disgusting water around Ambon.

In the past 18 months we did resort/boat diving in the Maldives and a liveaboard on Palau. The current in the Maldives was crazy. It was quite a challenge getting around dive sites. Visibility was 30 to 60 feet. We did some manta dives but I really don't have a lot of memories of the Maldives...

We went for the schooling hammerheads. But we were too late or the water was too warm. Saw one hammerhead. Ambon is a filthy third-world industrial cesspool. But the food was out of this world. We ate from street vendors most of the time. It was WOW. We stayed in Ambon for 4 days. Yeah, lots...

I love eating fresh sushi and sashimi. In Korea the sashimi was still moving when we ate it. Yum yum.

Currently on our last leg home from Coz on American Airlines. No complaints here. Business class was $700 each. We each got two free 70-pound checked bags. Good food and free alcohol on the flight. I had 4 Bloody Marys between Miami and Coz. On layovers we had free use of the Miami Admiral's...

Now you tell me

You wanna carry that much lead back to the sump? Or do you have sump monkeys carry all your gear for you?

AquaSeal There is no other Dries flexible and strong

If you're going that thick, you might as well go to a drysuit. There's no point in having a 7-8mm wetsuit unless you're snorkeling or surfing on the surface. If you want to scuba dive cold water, and not wear 50 pounds of lead, then get a drysuit.

Been going to Coz for 20 years, tried several dive ops and hotels. We always fall back on Scuba Club as the reliable place to go, sometimes 3 times a year. Taxi rip-off? Dude, I waste more money every day on cerveza and ceviche than I would save on using one taxi versus another. Taxi fare is...
