    Trip Report Trip Report: CoCo View Resort

    Another great trip to CoCo View. This was my 4th trip, and my partners 2nd, and we had a great time. Coming from San Francisco, we're accustomed to the long layovers in Texas on both United or American. But this time we took the Avianca flight through El Salvador. It only gives you a...

    Diving Kona April 2019 (Trip Report)

    Just returned from a fantastic dive trip to the Big Island. It's a quick 5-hour flight from California direct to Kona. Arrived around 9 am and dropped my gear off at Kona Dive Company (KDC), before getting settled in at the rental. I managed to get in 17 dives over the next eight days. The...

    Fiji Air Award & Bula Bid

    Hi all, We're heading to Fiji (from San Francisco) this fall and I've been trying to book business class award tickets with my Alaska miles. It's been a bear finding any availability on that flight, but I finally found two Business seats in October for the return portions (Nadi-SFO). I...

    Belize Aggressor IV (AKA Sundancer II) cabin question

    Have you been on the Belize Aggressor IV / Sundancer II? I'm heading out on the Belize Agressor IV this Saturday. The reservation agents have been great, but the one questions they couldn't answer for me was about the electrical outlets. If you've been on board, would you mind letting me...

    Wetsuit alterations in San Diego

    Any recommendations? I'll be in San Diego at the end of the month and was hoping to get my warm water wet suit altered. It's 1.5 mm thick and I've having trouble finding someone up here in NCal who can work on something that thin. Apparently I need someone with a flat lock machine...

    Booked my first Live-Aboard!

    Hi all, Just wanted to say thank you for all the informative posts and trip reports about Belize diving and the Aggressor LoBs. As part of my commitment to diving MORE in 2016, I just booked my first liveaboard on the Aggressor IV (formerly Sundancer II). It's a 10 day trip in early...

    Three days to dive in Bermuda

    I'm considering a short 4-5 day trip to Bermuda in late June. I'll be in DC and there are some very short direct flights and I thought it might be fun to see the island. My understanding is the island is expensive; so I probably won't stay longer than a few days. For those of you who dive...

    Bought a BP/W...Finally

    Finally bought a BP/W set up. Can't wait to try it out in Kona in a couple of weeks. As a large diver I've been looking for a good BCD solution for a while and finally settled on the Halcyon Infinity with a steel plate and 30lb wing. I wasn't happy about the additional buoyancy from the...

    Kona Trip Report (Short)

    Got home last night from a great dive trip to the Big Island. 14 dives in 6 days, all with Kona Dive Company which (IMO) is the standout dive op in Kona. They're safe, flexible, have a great stable boat, and the crew is all about making certain everyone has a great day underwater. You will...

    Visiting/Diving the keys in Early December

    Hi all, I'm heading down to Florida for 10 days at the end of July. 3 days in Clearwater (to see big cat rescue) and a week in the Keys. While its not a *dive trip* per se, we're hoping to get in 6-8 tanks while we're there (weather permitting). I've searched through the Forum, but I still...

    Belize Sun Dancer: Schedule ?

    Hi all, I have a week free this summer and am considering trying my first live aboard. I've settled on the Sun Dancer. That said, I'm guessing the schedule won't quite match up. According to the website, the boat arrives back into port after lunch on Friday. Any idea what time that is...

    What to ask / check when buying a BCD

    First, I really appreciate everyone who posts here on SB. It’s a great resource and as a relatively inexperienced diver I get a lot of value out of it. So here is my BCD dilemma: (it’s not really a dilemma at all). I've been renting gear for the past three years, but I've never found a...

    Looking for a Cocoview-like experience (but somewhere else).

    Hi all, I've been to Cocoview twice in the last three years and have LOVED it. The great valet service, ease of diving, comfortable shady boats, and low-key mellow atmosphere are (IMHO) the best kind of dive vacation. I'm certain I'll be heading back to CCV soon, but I'd like to travel to a...

    Introduction to a Lurker

    I've gotten lots of great info from SB over the past 4 years and thought it was time that I actually joined. I'm planning to dive more frequently in the next few years and I look forward to participating in the discussions. I'm a vacation diver (warm water only) who thinks the lousiest day of...
