For those of you who use the Transporters, did they hold up well for you? I’m thinking to put my fins under my BC and then use my wetsuit for cushion on top. In my old Aqualung, I put the fins on the sides, but it had a rigid back. Yellowdog: I couldn’t find any more sales on the 100L...

These are the wheeled models (with the exception of the 65L one which I would piggyback onto it along the lines of what Yellowdog suggested). I have them all here and could not feel a hard shell, but I will go check again.

Thanks. I read that discussion multiple times and I still have decision paralysis! The 100 is definitely roomier- also more expensive and a little heavier (but similar weight to the 120L). The shape is a little better for my BCD.

Hello all: My Aqualung roller bag got severely damaged on my last trip. I’m looking for a new bag for checked gear. I have purchased all 3 of these bags: 90L Osprey Transporter 120L Osprey Transporter 100L Osprey Sojurn Shuttle The 120 seems very very tall, but it will fit all my gear plus...

Hi all: We are trying to plan a dive-focused trip to Curacao. We love the Reef Divers/Clearly Cayman experience: dive shop with boat diving on site, good food onsite, clean comfortable rooms, nice scenery, not terribly noisy (most of the time). Looking at the options on Curacao, it is not...

We just came back from a 2 week stay- one week at CBBR one week at LCBR. We took the super short flight between them on changeover day. We really enjoyed both resorts- each for different reasons. I’d do the same thing again in a heartbeat- in fact, we just signed up for a repeat in 2025!

We have two dive trips planned over the next year- 2 weeks in Bonaire and 2 weeks in the Caymans. We are considering purchasing DAN travel insurance. I’m trying to decide on annual versus per trip. One question I have is about the limits, the maximum limit for trip cancellation on an annual...

I love my FFM and it has helped me enjoy diving more. Having said that, I would never have been able to complete the safety drills with it had I not already been comfortable in the water with my regular kit. Mask removal and replacement is more difficult with a FFM. I carry a backup mask and...

Here is the quote from the website, it’s very clear: Notice: As of 29 April 2022, No one is permitted to use any Full Face Mask while on tours with our company for SCUBA Diving OR Snorkeling. * Sorry, zero exceptions to this policy. When I wrote and asked for the reasons they said there had...

For me it is mask fitting, I involuntarily scrunch my face when I concentrate- no matter what the activity. While diving, this breaks the seal for my regular mask. I can dive with a regular mask- and in fact carry one as well as a spare second stage set up with quick disconnect hose. My buddy...

I’m not so concerned about diving with a shop that prohibits diving with a FFM, but understanding why they concluded they contributed to too many fatalities. I did confirm it was FFM for scuba and not for snorkeling.

Hello all: I switched to an FFM several years ago. We haven’t done any diving since 2020, but are planning trips this fall. While looking at potential dive shops, I saw some that prohibited the use of FFM. When I inquired about why- I was told there had been too many deaths due to asphyxia...

My husband and I were just discussing this type of idea. We’d be happy to participate in a voluntary system that provided certifiable proof of vaccination for international travel.

I love the Caymans and look forward to returning when it is allowed. I feel for the businesses and locals affected by the pandemic.

Looks like JetBlue cancelled its GCM flights until October.

Very nice!

October 9-23, had flights on United but United cancelled so now ?, Captain Don’s

I retract my wording. I was rushing and should not have started my response with "the airlines are not helping either". I know that the government of Bonaire has not restricted the flights from the US. The decision not to fly is an airline business decision. I was trying to counter...

The airlines aren’t helping either. United cancelled my October flights- it is not clear that is due to concerns that Covid restrictions will affect travel. Delta and American are currently very pricy for the same dates.
