    El Norte?

    Great! We arrive Saturday, start diving on Sunday. We’re staying at the Villa and, of course, diving with Aldora. We just want to dive. If this is still going on, we’ll be happy to dive the east side with Aldora. Been there before with you and would be happy to go back! Sidne

    Eating out in Bonaire

    Just ate at the Cactus Blue food truck a couple of weeks ago. Grabbed the last lionfish burger of the day around 4:00 pm. (My boyfriend had to settle for a chicken sandwich, still delicious.) Marco, who is the current owner I believe, sat and chatted with us for a long time while we ate. I...

    November Crew

    Great to dive with you, too, John. Glad you made it home early with no charge. We ended up with one long (76 minutes) dive on Wednesday afternoon on the east side, no diving on Thursday, and 2 cenotes dives over near PDC on Friday. The port did open to larger (40+ foot boat) on Friday around...

    Best Cozumel activity if it is raining?

    We only got one dive in yesterday afternoon before it got too late. (No twilight or night dives on the east side.) our dive was really relaxing, though, and lasted for 76 minutes so no complaints! We we started over to the east side in the car this morning, but turned around when we got a call...

    Ice Diving in Lake Baikal?

    Has anyone been ice diving in Lake Baikal? I'll be in Russia for work in about 10 days and will have a little time to be a tourist afterwards. I'm planning on visiting Lake Baikal. I wasn't planning on diving during the trip, but the tour agent I'm using to make my arrangements noticed that...

    Norte Coming

    Too many? The port opened (to 40+ ft boats) 5 minutes after I checked out of Blue Angel on Saturday morning. :ermm: At least I had an amazing day of east side diving on Thursday during the norte!

    Norte Coming

    Wish Aldora could have squeezed us in this morning. I would have even bought the drinks! They did squeeze us in yesterday, though. Very happy they were able to do so. It was my first time diving the east side; quite interesting. And MUCH better than not diving. Glad we saved a day of diving...

    Norte Coming

    Just got the "official" word from dive shop at Blue Angel. Port is closed. Of course, the "unofficial" word deduced by my keen powers of observation came awhile ago...

    Wrist Compass recomendation?

    Which Uwatec compasses would people recommend? The FS-2? All I can find for sale is the wrist mount version. There is no way the strap will fit me (and I don't want to deal with it anyway). Can I remove the compass and put it in a bungee mount? Other suggestions?

    Little Cayman AND Grand Cayman in January?

    Hoping for much of the same for my trip in January! (Okay, I know it will be colder. And probably not lake-like.) Hoping this will be why I will WANT to keep coming back! Thanks for the update!

    Little Cayman AND Grand Cayman in January?

    Thanks. I really appreciate the information and advice. I have no desire to push NDLs. I'm going on vacation. If I sit out a dive, I get to sit around and gaze at the ocean to fill the time. I've made (almost all) my reservations at this point. Sunset House for 3 nights, Little Cayman Beach...

    Little Cayman AND Grand Cayman in January?

    But I'm not lying about MY dive times. I'm just lying about my BUDDY's dive times. ;) Seriously, all of these reasons everyone has mentioned make sense to me. Thanks for the info. ---------- Post added October 11th, 2013 at 01:04 PM ---------- Another question: My boyfriend would like to...

    Little Cayman AND Grand Cayman in January?

    My boyfriend mentioned that the first dives in GC were limited to 45-50 minutes also. Is this due to the depth of the dives in the Caymans? If not, what is the reason? While I've had a handful of dives to 100+ FSW, I've never been given a time limit shorter than 60 minutes for a dive (or as...
