    Compass Point dive resort GC

    Anyone have experience with this outfit? Compass Point Dive Resort in the Cayman Islands I would appreciate input on other, low key/remote, eco friendly, hotels/resorts that caters to diving. Were still undecided on a location. Leaning toward Belize, or an ABC Island.

    Awesome! What were the conditions like if you recall? Water was blue?

    Turks and Caicos

    Coming from the states. We picked Turks largely for its lack of a tourist/resort vibe from the research/word of mouth. We purposefully try to avoid that in favor of mom and pop operations which are proponents of respect first safety second dive third.

    Turks and Caicos

    We have not researched to be honest. We decided to book a trip somewhat on a whim. It seems I absolutely do have a misunderstanding of the sharks in Provo. That said, any assumptions I made had no intention of being disrespectful to eco system or common curtesy to the ocean life.

    Turks and Caicos

    To be clear, I'm not a proponent of "chumming" hence the legal and responsible caveat. We are looking for a dive specifically for large and/or numerous sharks. Baiting on cage dives is the status quo I presume?

    Turks and Caicos

    Two for Dive Provo, thank you both. Regarding the shark bit, we're hopefully looking for an immersion (i.e. a cage, or -if legal and responsible- baiting)

    Key West shop/trip recommendations

    wife and I are heading to Key West in mid-august, bought tickets on a whim because Ohio is boring. Basically we're escaping the kids for a week and plan on eating pie and fish tacos, drinking beer and rum, diving, and a few other adventure activities. We'd like to make 2 or 3 2-3 tank dive days...

    DS51 battery compartment flood

    I'll probably wait for ikelite to give guidance. Its Sunday evening their time now, so hopefully tomorrow they'll see this or the email I sent. Fingers crossed! And thank you for your input!

    DS51 battery compartment flood

    I didn't check to see if it works or not. I strictly followed ikelite's recommendations per the user manual. Are you suggesting that I may not have to send the strobe in at all?

    DS51 battery compartment flood

    I just flooded my battery compartment. I'm not 100% how, I suspect it wasn't tight enough (I installed new batteries just before the dive, I did ensure the seal was clear of debris and the cap was oriented correctly. The strobe didn't take any hits or bumps). I pulled the batteries and flushed...

    Cylinders in cars

    I think some of you are missing the point completely... You take the time to learn, and practice safe diving, but you simply put your tanks, or weights in the back seat? You are risking your life, and others. In the event of a roll-over something simple as a 5 lead weight can kill you. A tank...

    Cylinders in cars

    I agree with your thought process... Any not secured in a car can kill. I've seen a guy killed by a tool box after a car vs pole head on collision, which he would have otherwise probably walked away from. Furthermore I've seen what a gallon jug of milk will do to a baby in a car seat of which I...
