    New Blacktip setup...

    The 15AH Dewalt won't fit. Dirdivers looks to be building a custom 15AH pack in a smaller Dewalt style shell.

    Garmin Descent MK2

    I have a MK2 and transmitter. Only a few dives on it but great so far. Transmitter has been flawless except for shipping with an almost dead battery. It’ll even play a song to identify the transmitter.

    Vehicle question

    I use a realtor style lock box attached to my hitch receiver. I also have non smart keys cut for my jeep that work on the doors. Apex Lock and Key did those for me cheap enough.

    PADI and technology (what’s the deal with e-cards?)

    Vote with your dollars with this one. Don't stick with PADI as they don't care. E-cards are a money maker for them for replacement cert cards. TDI/SDI/PFI/ERDI already offers free online accessible cert cards. My shop knows that I don't want plastic cards and all my certs come via e-cards that...

    Looking for dive op offering 4 dives a day

    3 dives a day with Aldora will give you more bottom time than 5 dives with the in and out operations as long as your gas consumption is reasonable. 1 hr 10-15 minutes ++ each dive vs 40-45 minutes with a lot of ops. My wife doesn't really enjoy the longer dives and diving with the resort is...

    Dive operator - Ocean Encounters

    We’ve done Klein with Ocean Encounters before and they’ve always been great. I think it depends on how busy it is with how many people are on the boats.

    RE: Cozumel diving during southern reef closure

    Plenty to see now with moderate crowds. I’m here now but I wonder what it will be in a couple weeks and it gets busy. I definitely noticed more groups/boats in each area than previous Octobers.

    Food near BHB?

    Brass Ring is good bar type of food Carving station is buffet home cooking southern down the road there as well. I've done Two Drunk Goats but it wasn't great even when they were slow and weren't busy at all. The better food is probably stopping on the way down. On the way down: Hog Snappers...

    Boats in a hurricane

    Many are too large to tow on the road. They are oversized loads and transport of these sized boats over land takes a lot of planning. Most are moved under their own power. For boats left in the water vs out on stands its a gamble. Sometimes the damage can be more on land if the boats get...

    Zeagle Zena (recommend it or not)

    My wife loves hers. There is a ton of adjustment but custom ordering panel sizes is what I would recommend. Vest, Shoulder, and Front panel should be sized appropriately.

    Steel 117 vs 120

    I have a pair of 117's and have had 120's as well (and 133 and a myriad of other tanks). Adjusting the cam bands takes a couple seconds for me, I travel with the same setup and haven't really noticed the 30 seconds it takes me to adjust a couple cam bands causing me any grief. I've also never...

    Cruise Ship Diving

    We went on a Carnival ship recently and did dives in St Thomas, St Kitts, and St Maarten. Our dives in St Lucia were cancelled. I brought all my own gear. Depending on location I'll dive with the cruise ship as they won't leave you or will make sure you get back to the boat if on one of their...

    DAN Insurance: Guardian or Preferred

    Wife recently had an ear issue on a trip and we had to fly the next day. Went to the local doc and got treatment/meds as suggested by DAN. UHC paid out no problem as I have international coverage. They cut me a check for amount paid. While this is great I don't think I would want to worry with...

    Maintenance of WP-N1 housing

    The housing should have come with a tube of silicone lubricant. WP-G1000 Silicone Grease. Any from your LDS should do.

    Maintenance of WP-N1 housing

    I have the same housing. I bought an extra for $50 and an extra main O-ring. I have two ebay cameras and paid $50 for the housing so if one floods its not the end of the world. For regular maintenance make sure you keep the main oring clean and lubed. A few salt crystals there or a hair can...

    Most beautiful dive site : difficulty ratio

    Curaçao is also great for new divers. Just got back from there and the diving with Ocean Encounters is pretty benign for what you get to see. The shore dives at Sunscape are easy too. Follow rope to buoy. Go one way or the other along the wall depending on whether there is a current, turn...
