I'm planning on doing a dive trip this January and my goal is to see big sea creatures. I was told that Bat Islands and Catalinas Islands off of Playas Del Coco is a good place to visit to see them. Can anyone provide some insight into the usual conditions there and what you can see in January...

I will be at the scubaboard booth sunday morning, stop by and say hi!

Do you still need help on Sunday morning?

I managed to break a Sport Pro HD, got another one as a birthday present and promptly bricked that one trying to do the firmware update. I contacted Intova's customer service and they were willing to replace both under warranty without any hassle and shipping covered both ways! Thanks Intova...

Just in case anyone else is reading this section deciding about buying atomic gear, I wanted to give another shout out to their awesome customer service. I have an unsealed B2 that wore down a bit creating a leak after about 80 dives (70ish beach) in 10 months due to harsh diving conditions and...

As per everyone's recommendations I ended up doing two days of boat diving with Gabe's crew and had a blast! Liv took great care of us and showed us some great dive spots. I will be diving with them again the next time I go out there. Ended up going to the YO-257 wreck and turtle canyon the...

wow, everyone seems to like Gabe, even in the chat channel. Looks like I'll be hitting you up shortly Gabe to setup a boat trip! Just trying to figure out which day I can go. I'll touch base with you shortly too RickyF, thanks for offering to be a buddy :)

I will be staying at the Sheraton hotel in Waikiki at the end of this month and am looking at doing some diving. I've got all day on the 29th or 30th (still tbd which day I get to sneak away on, most likely 29th) and then time for a morning shore dive on the 31st. Any suggestions on a charter to...

I spent some time debating over which one to get. When I saw JamesK say quality was about the same at 1080p/30 I decided to go with the intova sport pro with the red filter, and it doesn't disappoint. Here's my video from yesterday's dive, average depth 35ft. The only two gripes I have about the...

Lost a prescription mask that is clear with a blue rim and a black snorkel attached at Crescent Bay today. There is a scuba.com strap wrap on the back. please let me know if you find it!

If you saw the signs, what would you have done to prevent the problems from happening? Keep in mind group setting where he can just tag along with someone else who doesn't care if I won't buddy up.

Ah, I see what you mean. I was comfortable with the group as a hole. I talked to several of them beforehand and got a good feeling about the rest of them. A dive master, couple of knowledgeable instructors, and rest regular divers. You do make some good points there though. I ended up going out...

I won't start moving before I've got my buoyancy adjusted and have double checked everything again. I don't get why people feel like they need to rush off as soon as they hit the floor. My camera is a cheap one and always leashed so I don't have to give it a second thought if I need to be paying...

I did indeed slip the tank back in, guess I forgot to mention that. I don't remember noticing if it came back out or not. I don't see how thumbing it would've made a difference besides the other guys going your loss. He still would've dove with the rest of them. Next time I'm definitely going to...

I don't think 100 dives is needed to do that. I started doing photography around 25 dives after I had fixed most of my buoyancy issues and breathing. I even managed to snap a couple of ok photos during this dive when I wasn't chasing the newbie down. That said, I do agree with you about they...

If it was just me and him, I wouldn't've taken him to 60ft. I would've maybe done 20ft or called it entirely. In this case, he still would've dove since it was a group of 10. In retrospect I wish I went with the other group when he wouldn't. They saw more too. If I'm with a group I'll definitely...

We did discuss a lot of that. I knew he was a newbie diver with 8 dives, knew he hadn't dove this spot before but had done shore diving. As a group we discussed the site layout, our plan for diving it, and turning around when we got to around half a tank. The other diver was not my buddy. He had...

I've met a few good dive buddies from here, but they aren't always available. I've mostly been doing insta buddy to meet new people, and I've met some pretty cool ones by doing so. Out of all of them, this guy was the first that was an actual problem during a dive. Others have been fine, just...
