    Shore Diving Hawaii - 2018 video and trip report

    My wife and I had a fantastic two week trip to the Big Island (5 nights), Maui (6 nights), and Kauai (3 nights) in July. The islands are quite different from one another, but each has a lovely and unique vibe. I have family on the Big Island, so we visit relatively frequently and have fallen in...

    St. Vincent?

    Has anyone dove St. Vincent recently? We're considering it for a week-long trip in November, but most of the information I've found on the island is a bit dated. But from what I've read, it sounds right up my alley--quiet and safe island, short boat rides, good critter and muck diving, healthy...

    Shore diving near Miami

    I’ll be in Miami for work in October and will have a morning free to dive. My wife will be with me and she gets seasick, so we usually shore dive. Would you recommend we head to the Blue Heron Bridge or to Lauderdale? We’ll probably try to find a local guide; we’re not used to hauling dive flags.

    St. Croix 2018 - Trip Report and Video

    Thanks to everyone here on scubaboard for all the great advice we received leading up to the trip. We were on St. Croix in May for 9 nights and fell in love with the island—the pace, food, people, and access to great shore diving. My wife and I live in a city, so we always choose quiet...

    Bonaire 2018 Video - LUMIX LX10

    A little video of our recent Bonaire trip. I used a LX10 in a Nauticam housing with 2 x 2500 sea dragon lights. It was my first time with this setup--I was generally quite pleased, but think I need to start a blog titled "In a never-ending search for my perfect underwater video setup..."

    Trip Report Bonaire video and trip report - April 2018

    It's always great to remind ourselves what makes our favorite places our favorites. It was our fourth trip to Bonaire, and the diving, people, and island were as wonderful as we remembered. And the freedom...there’s no price tag you can place on that. We flew direct from Newark with no issues...

    Shore diving St Croix

    Does anyone know of any good shore dives on the island aside from the usual suspects (the Pier, Cane and Davis Bay)? Particularly on the west side? Shorediving.com lists a site called "Dave's Pool" near Scuba Shack and the Changes in Latitude restaurant, but the information must be old as I...

    Has anyone dove this site before? I’m having trouble locating much info on it other than that it’s shallow.

    Where to go after the RX100 IV?

    Back in 2016, I needed to upgraded my camera setup for an upcoming trip to Indonesia. I only shoot video, and for this 23 day trip, I would need both a macro and wide setup. I settled on the RX100IV in a Fantasea housing and 2500 sea dragon lights, Subsee 10 macro lens and a flip device to...

    Best shore diving Phillipines

    My wife gets sick on boats, and it looks like we will need to re-think our plans for a two week Tulamben trip in July. Does anyone have a favorite shore diving destination? (As a guideline, we loved the diving at Libert Dive in Bali)

    Caribbean Airlines

    Has anyone flown with Caribbean Airlines? I've found pretty reasonable prices from NYC to St Vincent in March, but I always hesitate when flying an airline that I'm unfamiliar with. I'd appreciate hearing of any good or bad experiences, and particularly, if anyone has flown the NYC - SVD...

    July 2017 Video and Trip Report - Maui, the Big Island, and Kauai

    The first week, my wife and I were on the Big Island and Kauai with family, so we only managed a few dives. We were alone on Maui the following week, where we did most of our diving—overall, thirteen dives over two weeks. From this trip, our best dives were at Mala Pier on Maui and Place of...

    'Different' Curacao sites

    My wife and I are heading to Curacao in November. We stopped there once in 2013 on our way to Bonaire, but only for four nights and five dives, so we're a little familiar with the island, but by no means experts. I'd love some recommendations for 'different' dive sites on the island. By...
