We (4 AOW divers) just returned last week from FP. We stayed at Huahine, Bora Bora, Rangiroa, and Tahiti. The dive shop at Huahine was closed. We dove at Bora Bora and Rangiroa. Sharks every dive. We dove with Top Dive. They are a first class operation, but they don't seem to have many...

Greetings all. I am currently looking to upgrade my off-brand, jacket-style BCD. It works ok but it is heavy and doesn't have drains for the pockets. I am a bit of a 'tweener regarding size, as I am 6'2" and 185. I tried on the Zeagle Ranger LTD, but I found it a bit funky and not very...

I also like this one: Caribbean Reef Life - Caribbean Reef Life - a field guide for Caribbean diving and fish identification My dive buddy/wife and I own a copy. It is very well organized and easy to find whatever creature you are looking up. Awesome book!

I dove off Kona 2 weeks ago and the water was 83.

My wife and I got back from the Big Island Nov 15th after spending 8 nights there. The Big Island Revealed is a must, hardcopy or digital. We have vacationed on the island about a 14 times. The past 2 trips we did the manta night dive with Jack's Diving Locker, whom I recommend highly. Try...

Greetings all. I've used my Cressi Leonardo on about 30 dives. This seems to be way, way too conservative. On my last dive trip (Roatan, woohoo!) I was with a group of 5 other divers. All of their computers were providing about 20% more NDL time. As an example, I would be at about 3 min...

Hey now, I just got back from a week stay on Bonaire. 2 trucks...nothing stolen out of them. One was unlocked and the one I was with was locked (against my opinion) with a bunch of junk in it. We were all over the island. We stayed in a condo a few doors down from Dive Friend's Yellow Sub...

I just got back from a week on Bonaire. We dove out of Dive Friends Yellow Submarine shop. On Mon 4/21/14 we did a 2 tank dive. The boat left at 9ish and didn't get back to the dock until 2PM. There were 14 passengers all with 2 tanks...lots of weight. The first stop was a complete...

We stayed at Chilles 2 years ago in the bungalo-shack things. Decent for the price but I do remember dogs barking every night. I did a discover SCUBA gig with Native Sons. Had such a great time with them I now am advaced open water certified with my own gear. Not sure when you are going but...

"If you can wait until March 2014 I'll give you my opinion of Roatan vs Cozumel vs Bonaire. I'll be in Coz in July, Bonaire in Sept, and Roatan in March. This is going to be a great 9 months!! I'm going to get callouses on my fingers from all the trip reports I'll have to come up with." Make...

We spent a week on Roatan getting back June 6th. Rechargable camera battery was in carry-on as well as some small flashlights with disposable batteries. No issues at all.

I cannot comment on diving in Cozumel as I've only snorkeled there. We have been to Roatan 3 years. The first year I did the discover SCUBA gig with Native Sons and was hooked. Got certified at home. Went back last year and got the advanced open water cert with Reef Gliders. We thought the...

My wife and I just got back from a week on Ambergris Caye. We dove with Chuck and Robbie's. They were excellent. We brought our own gear except for tanks and weights and they prepped and cleaned it every day. My only concern is that their surface intervals are short (an hour to 1.5 hours)...

I just bought my first BCDs and regulator set ups for my wife and myself. We did 8 dives each last week. The inflator-back up reg worked really well for us. We tried the regulators at depth a couple times, and thought that they were fine. I like the streamlined simpleness. I'm 6'2" and like...

Thanks everyone. I turn the deep stop off. It is still very conservative (not a bad thing) but very workable now. OOwabbit, that is exactly what I did once I set up the Leonardo more to my liking.

Greetings. I am using a Leonardo cressi for the first time. I am very concerned. It seems to be way too conservative. Today first dive 84 ft for just a few minutes, most of dive spent at 50-60 feet. Cressi indicated a 1 min decon stop at 36 feet plus 3 min 10-20 stop. Both done. No others in 12...

Greetings. I just discovered this forum. My wife and I are adventurous travelers and now both advanced open water certified. We were in Nica in mid-November. We stayed 6 nights on little corn island. It is very simple and rustic. The weather was crap- wind howled 24/7 and it rained a...
