We all want it to go away. But I don't think there's any data yet that supports that it will be gone within the next few months. We don't even know the r0 for certain. Initial estimates were that it's low. Then that it is much worse. If it's high, even small mistakes in containment result in...

Seems if the watch can't see certain areas of the boat, visual monitoring, i.e. cameras with a monitor near the captain's chair, should be put in place as well as audible monitoring, i.e. more or better smoke/gas/etc detectors. Idk if the whole bunk area is a changing room, but you could at...

Yes, you do, almost always. If it is not, it should have a warning. For some online sights though, like skyscanner, it is common NOT to have them linked. So you do have to be careful. (Although it seems like it is moot, a TA has been recommended and can handle this one better as it is for some...

I can get it as an option with the China Airlines flight on Priceline, but not with EVA. Interesting conundrum. (Priceline and Orbitz are two go-to's for those who like to combine obscure airlines to work some benefits into travel). I think it's a fine layover if on one ticket. Travel agent that...

The Philippines is easy choice for me with this question. Great diving, plenty of other expats and options for home comforts, English is common, and 4k a month will be enough to live very comfortable unless you choose right in Manila (which you said you don't want cities, so). I liked Bali too...

I'm slightly out of date on Cebu Pacific, but imho you are wrong. You have 68kg. You should upgrade one baggage allowance to 40kg, so you both have a total of 70kg and are allowed 3 bags. The 30kg allowance, as said above, allows only one bag. So if you only have 30kg and 30kg between the two...

Sounds like the EN portion is out, and rightly so. It's not worth it, IMO. Note you're going during Easter, so the whole country will pretty much shut down for a few days. I don't suspect it will cause problems if you're in a resort/hotel, except maybe a few local restaurants around are closed...

Welcome to Scubaboard, and sorry for your loss. There are some here with a lot of Egypt experience, so hopefully they will have some good info and jump in here soon. While I am quite simple and not experienced in Egypt, I did find this site for Canadian funeral homes about taking ashes to...

There is no requirement to spend an hour in the lounge. As mentioned, if you give a little extra time because of lines to and you end up behind security with more than 15 minutes to spare, why not? I stop in the lounge even if I only have 5 or 10 minutes to get/drink a water and grab an apple or...

I will add one thought from Saigon. Rains this year, and even more so last year, have been quite unusual. Normally dry for the entirety of December to mid-June, last year we had rain almost weekly throughout that time. This year it was less frequent, but still some random showers, and then rainy...

Employment "At Will". They can give you conditions and ask you to leave for any reason, and you can take it or walk away at any time. It's all about the dollar, in insurance terms and in potential lost business if someone is absent. But you're right they don't always monitor it. But if you are...

I'm curious which order they will take the boys + coach out. I know it's none of our business, and maybe we'll never know unless things go badly, so it's just speculation again. But balancing the parents' wishes, plus health, plus physical abilities and attributes. Would you take a healthy one...

Hopefully they are successful in many more recoveries when the sun comes up. A short phone video of the heavy seas here shows a boat with dive tanks and the alleged jet ski folks behind. Note this is not one of the boats that overturned.

Welcome. I got certified by Neptune Divers on 9th E (iirc - maybe it's 11th). The crater is a good little spot to have to stay wet. People here are pretty friendly, you can learn a lot.

I think we all agree they have a lot of power and don't really worry too much about you, which is the main point. But I believe ReefHound is correct. Stops in airline language are enroute stops, not the destination. The only time they change your destination is if the airport gets closed due...

This last part is the key of course. Whatever you are happy with is best. That being said, if you want any help, feel free to PM the dates and airports and I can check as well. But if indeed everything is the same as for routes, stops, dates, etc, then it, to my knowledge, is some sort of error...

That difference of 22,500 miles is the exact difference in saver seats versus everyday seats for one way. So for some reason it sounds like when you are looking at RTs it is pulling from the everyday bucket for one way and saver bucket for one way, but when you do them individually you're...

Seems most LCC want you to check-in online, some even charge if you don't, so as to save the cost of paying workers. Having to check in at the airport seems unique and may suggest strict weigh-ins. But they still give you some food. Maybe 12 less meals than normal on a flight isn't a big...

The Hyatt there is a very nice property, I stayed there a few times and like it a lot. Not much outside the gate for food options is the only down side I had to it (although it's been awhile since I was there last, might have changed some). So the hotel restaurants are your only options unless...

There were a few dive shops in Hoi An when I visited. I don't recall seeing any in Da Nang proper, but I wasn't there for diving and I don't have a personal review. It seems from basic searching most shops list themselves in Hoi An, not Da Nang. Hoi An, depending on your resort/hotel, is as...
