    Diving the Keys' Molasses Reef

    Fair enough - nothing in the Caribbean seems that healthy these days either. It’s sad!

    Diving the Keys' Molasses Reef

    Really? While there seemed to be decent fish life - that didn't look like a super healthy, vibrant reef to me...

    DIN, Yoke, and Head Space

    I have don’t have ScubaPro regs - was just commenting based on the DIN vs yoke pics. Thanks for that info on 200 vs 300 bar DIN thread depth - makes sense.

    DIN, Yoke, and Head Space

    It was easier/faster for the boat crew on the Raja Ampat LOB I did last year to refill yoke setup tanks in place as the fill whip was a yoke connector. For DIN reg setups, they had to remove and reinstall the DIN to yoke tank valve insert every time they did a refill.

    DIN, Yoke, and Head Space

    Interesting - so DIN actually puts the reg closer to your head than Yoke.

    would love some direction

    Odd that I see no details/pics of the vessel or cabins on their website? Unless I missed it?

    Trip Report Bonaire March 2024–Dead reefs

    And not your thread… but I’ll avoid expanding the narrow focus you seem to be able to tolerate here. Better yet, ignore so I don’t even see you anymore!

    Trip Report Bonaire March 2024–Dead reefs

    You must be a blast at parties… I’d suggest you need to relax a bit… folks were commenting on the state of the reefs in Bonaire and it led to comments on the state of the Caribbean in general. Seems logical extensions of the conversation and not so off topic to evolve a discussion a bit. I’ll...

    Trip Report Bonaire March 2024–Dead reefs

    After you’ve been to Indonesia, you realize the Caribbean is largely dead - I still like diving there as it’s way cheaper and easier to get to… but it absolutely pales in comparison. That said, I did see some large sections/rolling fields of healthy mustard hill coral and some decent stands of...

    Little Cayman was much the same in late September - sad to see!

    Noob question on cleaning regs

    Some of us intend to use our regs for life so how a dive shop handles cheap rental regs is not really the "standard of care" for regulators that I want to follow for mine.

    Unknown Woody From “Dive Talk” DCS and Medical Journey

    Great - so do that. Post a link and keep it updated! Why should they publish and have to maintain on a website when it takes a few seconds to call them to get that info - either in advance when planning a trip or if/when issue arises and you need it. I’d rather get the info live than rely on...

    Noob question on cleaning regs

    It can happen if you soak an Atomic regulator unpressurized due to their seat saver feature - regardless of the dust cap being in place. I bought a little 6 cu ft tank to be able to soak my regs pressurized in the tub when I get back from a dive trip.

    Trip Report *live* Indo Aggressor Komodo deep South trip quarantine @ LBJ March 2024

    I don’t get why Agressor didn’t cancel the trip due to the port closure as that would have allowed folks to file a claim with their trip insurance. By not doing this, they pretty much screwed folks in 2 ways: #1: they didn’t deliver the trip that folks paid for and won’t refund and #2: they...

    Trip Report Indo Aggressor Deep South (Abandoned)

    I’m sorry you had to go through this, but thanks for posting about your experience here. This is yet another example of why I would never even consider a trip with Agressor Fleet - I’ve read far too many stories of issues with them here and they do not seem like an Op with any integrity!

    Fast Moving Coral Disease Alert on Bonaire

    That “simple search” gave you a reference to SCTLD on Grand Cayman (which was well known here) - it does not talk to it being found in Cayman Brac or Little Cayman.

    Options in the South Pacific - Fiji, PNG, Tahiti Others

    I found Vuna Reef and some of the reefs even more south like Forsen Slope to be quite good - as good or better than Rainbow Reef.

    Batik Air pilots fell asleep mid-flight

    I'm sure it happens everywhere. Easily fixed with eye monitoring systems like some cars already have - i'm actually surprised they have not added this as it would be quite easy to fall asleep when at cruise altitude and the plane is on full autopilot and the crew is just monitoring instruments.
