Husband and I are considering Ocean Breeze Boutique for our next stay in Bonaire. Has anyone stayed there? What did you think of it? Is there a place to hang wet gear? Is the kitchenette in studio adequate?

My husband and I are considering doing a liveaboard in the Red Sea in May or June of this year. He has a problem with one knee that results in his having a weak kick. He can dive in minimal currents such as Bonaire, and he can, of course, drift. He cannot swim across a significant current...

I've never been to Philippines before and am considering a dive trip for husband and I. He has trouble with a knee and so cannot manage significant current, prefer shallower dives. Obviously we want to see as much ocean life as possible. If we can't do a liveaboard, what sites would you...

From people who have done a liveaboard in the Red Sea and a Liveaboard in the Andaman Sea, could you offer comparison?

My credit card providers free CDW insurance for rental vehicles. I'm interested in finding a rental company that would rent to me without making me buy CDW, but they all seem to include it whether I want it or now. Does anyone have suggestions?

I saw a post on Facebook that the Chogogo resort illegally dumped sand on their shoreline, which then washed out, causing extensive damage on front porch and bari. Does anyone know if this is accurate, how bad the damage is, whether they will have consequences? Please don’t reply with info...

Looking at a visit to St. Lucia. I'm looking for any and all constructive recommendations for surface interval time, getting around the island, airbnb's, food, all the above. Thank you in advance.

Am in Bonaire until Monday and am trying to decide whether to go to WSNP on Sunday. Our flight on Monday departs late in the day, so if we skip the park, we could get in some diving on Sunday. My husband has a bad knee, so diving within the park where current is reportedly strong is not an...

My husband and I are in Bonaire for vacation and are wondering about east coast boat dives. Specifically, I’m wondering about current. Husband had a knee replacement a couple years ago and that leg is not as strong as the other. I know that of course there would be some current on east...

I have on two separate occasions had the experience of making videos with GoPro Hero 8 on trips, coming back home, and putting the SD card into a computer to view the videos. The videos would view at first, but then for some reason, a problem occurred. I would get the message that the SD card...

I’m considering buying a first DPV as a Christmas gift for my husband. Before I do so, I’d want to make sure that he will have opportunities to use it. Have you often run into recreational dive boats that would not allow you to use a DPV?

I know almost nothing about scooters but am considering getting one now for my husband. He is less able to kick well if he has to cross a current, which will close off a lot of potential dive sites for us unless we can find a solution, such as a scooter. He wouldn't need anything fancy, but I...

I understand that Cayman airlines is the usual way, but am wondering about travel by boat, at least on the return trip so as to keep diving as long as possible before the 24 hour no fly time. How hard and how expensive would it be to find a boat that carries passengers from CB to GB?

My husband and I are considering a trip to Curacao, which we would like to pull off economically. I understand that people go there for both shore and boat diving. Do the boat dives go to significantly better dive sites that the shore dives, such that it is worthwhile to schedule a lot of boat...

How would you say the diving compares between GC, CB, and LC?

I have some time off work in January and was thinking about trying a Red Sea liveaboard. But I've heard that a lot of the fish leave the Red Sea in the winter. How much of a change is it from what it would be if I could wait until summer? Are there some sites that would be more worthwhile in...

I’ve never been to Bonaire before and am wondering what divers do there with regards to pulling a flag while shore diving. Are there typically a lot of boats in the dive spots? Are there any rules about what sort of flag and buoy are needed? I don’t want to have to pack a buoy on my flight...

I have been watching my latest videos made with GoPro Hero 8 and am frustrated by how often the subjects leave the screen. When I’m making videos underwater, I often can’t look closely enough at the GoPro screen to tell when the subject has gone above or below the edges of the view. I keep...

What is the sea life like Bonaire compared to a few years ago? I expect that like everywhere else there has been some decline? But how much decline?

Not sure if this is the place to discuss this, but maybe it is. My husband has some health issues that have resulted in his being limited to diving in places with little to no current. Most locations have a variety, which would result in his having to sit out a lot of the dives on a liveaboard...
