Wow! I didn't think empty dive boots for consoles would be so hard to find. With computers now worn on the wrist I thought companies would be making 2 console boots for the pressure gauge and compass. Based on my Google searches and searches at online dive shops they can only be bought with...

I have come up with several possible dive locations while I am in the Philippines in Nov and would like your advice and suggestions. I will be in Angeles and my idea was this: Angeles to El Nido (SwiftAir) 4 days El Nido to Coron (Boat?) 4 days Head over to Malapascua 4 days Malapascua to...

I will be in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for a week. I can extend my trip about 6 more days to dive but don't know where to go. I am currently looking at Lankayak Island but would like some other suggestions. I am willing to fly up to ~ 2 hours to my destination if need be. I know I will need to...

I have a friend taking a cruise and wants to snorkel at either St. Croix or Tortola. I have been diving in St. Croix but know nothing of Tortola. Does anyone have a recommendation? They are not avid snorkelers so something with the best experience for a newbie would be good.

I am looking at getting a backup battery or two for my Oly 5060WZ. Olympus sells replacements for $60 but I can find others for $3 to $50. I am wondering if there are any after market brands to stay away from. Also a technical question: My battery is a 7.2v 1500mAh I see a lot of similar...

I'll be in La Jolla Saturday and Sunday with my SO and would like to dive Sunday morning (Not too early!:D). Normally she would be my buddy but she is sick and can't dive this weekend. Will anyone be out that way wiling to let me tag along or just buddy up? I'm looking forward to my first La...

Sorry, wrong forum.

I have an Oly C-5060WZ with a PT-020 case. I am looking at the YS-27DX and YS-110 and had some comparison and compatibility questions. 1) Is YS-110 TTL compatible with the Oly 5060? 2) Is a target light important? 3) How is the Optical cable connected to the PT-020? 4) Is the Sea & Sea...

Ok, I am utterly confused and the more I read the worse it gets. I have an OLY 5050 with a PT-015 and am looking for an external flash for my trip to the ABC's in June. I can't determine what type of flash to get or what the major differences are. There are "slave", "sync", etc, etc and I...

I was wondering whether it was worth the extra $ renting a 4X4 Jeep on Bonaire. We will be renting a dive truck but need another vehicle as well. Are there areas that are unreachable without one? I don't want to damage the landscape but would love to take some 4x4 trails and explore areas...

We will be staying on Aruba for ~3 nights (Also going to Bonaire & Curacao) and need some advice on what part of the island would be best. we don't want to stay in the hotels or in the tourist zone. I'm looking for a part of the island close to some good wreck diving and dive shops that will...

I have the opportunity to take a weeks vacation and split it between Aruba and Bonaire. Or I can go all out and spend two weeks (15 days) and spend 4 days on Aruba, 4 days on Curacao and 7 days on Bonaire. Money is an issue unfortunately:(. Is Curacao worth spending the extra $ on? I would...

I'm am trying to get to Bonaire from Aruba and can't find any decent airfare. Does anyone know of an inexpensive means of transport between the two? Update: I did find DAE (Dutch Antilles Express) but that is about $400 r/t AUA-CUR-BON

I remember there being a thread about regulators being allowed as carry-on baggage but I cannot seem to find it. I want to print out the TSA guidelines allowing me to bring my reg and octo setup onboard with me when I go to Hawaii this weekend. Does anyone know where that link is? Thanks.

It was suggested I try posting in this forum for Lake Mead diving. I'll be out there this weekend and would like to try diving Lake Mead on Saturday 9/17/05. Is anyone interested in going? I'm looking for someone who's familiar with the area and prefer not to go on one of the chartered dive...

I can't locate info for divers in the Las Vegas/Lake Mead area. I'll be there this weekend and would like to try diving Lake Mead with some locals. If anyone can direct me to someone or a group on ScubaBoard I'd appreciate it.

I am looking at getting a CompactFlash card for my Oly C-5060. I have an Oly xD card already and am wondering if the new cards with greater write speeds like the SanDisk Ultra II (9mbs) and the new SanDisk Extreme III (20mbs) will actually speed up the processing. My camera can have a lag time...

Ok, Ok, I know this is ScubaBoard but there is no ATVBoard and I don't know where else to turn. :D I have my diving booked for Oahu and Maui but need help deciding on a good ATV tour to take in. I will be in Kaanapali, Maui and realize I'll probably have to drive 1 to 2 hours to get to the...
