I've dove with all four of the ops you mentioned and not had a problem with any. As far as LB, when I dove on the Aggressor last year, the Captain would meet us at dinner and go over the next day's dive plans. He explained how the schedule might be improved because of tide information, and left...

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that a blood test was required. We went to the recommended clinic, paid $75 each and got our blood drawn. The tech(?) told us to come back in 45 minutes for the results. He gave us a handwritten form that essentially said no AIDS or STD. I have no doubt that it was...

When I got married there 9 years ago I went to the Municipal building and asked in every open door until I found the judge. He charged us $300 US, and the legal form required 4 witnesses from our native country who all had to sign the marriage document at the ceremony. We had it done on the...

Any recommendations for cruise ship dive ops for a one day AM trip in Grand Cayman Dec. 29?. Our problem is we anchor at 0800, take a tender to shore then a cab to the dive shop. Most of the cruise ships seem to arrive at about the same time, so there must be dive ops that do this. Any local...

I recommend either Sam's & Sea Passion, and Neco Marine & Sea Passion. I've done both packages, and both dive ops were top notch. My next trip will be Neco & Sea Passion because the dive shop is right across the street from SP, slightly more convienient.

For those of you who have flown the CZM-CUN connection on Mayair, how much time is needed to make the connection from CZM (on Mayair) to an outgoing flight leaving CUN on Spirit? My Spirit flight from CUN to FLL departs CUN at 12:13 PM. Mayair arrives in CUN at 10:25 AM or 07:25 AM. If I took...

If you think customs at DFW is bad, try flying into Miami, it's the worst.

I agree about consulting jjblomquist. I have bought 4 lights from him and the lights are excellent at a great price. He recently sent me a UK SL6 with a CREE T6 LED for evaluation. It is rated at 1,000 lumens and has a wide, flood type beam. It is much brighter than my stock C4 eLED. I'll post...

I used a travel agent, Caradonna. They were very good, using an agent dosen't cost any more than doing it yourself, and eliminates a lot of phone calls and hassles . They also booked the liveaboard on Peter Hughes Tropic Dancer.

From Florida, your best bet, or maybe your only choice, is Houston-Honolulu-Guam-Koror on Continental. I did it recently from Miami and it was very easy.

I'll take em. PM sent.

Both were excellent. Sam's runs a first class operation with good boats and excellent staff. Sea Passion is very good too. They have nice, big, clean rooms at a reasonable price. One advantage is the close proximity of both. You can walk to Sam's from the Sea Passion. In the morning, they pick...

August 27-Sept. 1. Hotel Coz & Dive Paradise (fast boat, of course) package. Great airfare on Spirit from Ft. Lauderdale-Cancun, $232.00 RT, but they ding you for checked and carried bags.

August 27 - Sept 1, Hotel Coz, diving with Paradise (fast boat) Anyone else? We got a great flight price from FLL to CZM on Spirit, but they nickle & dime you on lugage. DMdoogie

I sent my Apeks ATX 200/AT 20/Oceanic Pro +2, to ST for annual service. I had it back in 10 days and they charged me $78 to service 3 stages, replace the battery and shipping. The LDS I used before charged $110 for 2 stages. I dove it in the pool and it was perfect. They include a spec sheet...

Thanks for the PM, I'm looking forward to further upgrades. DMDoogie

I have one of your R 2 mods in my SL4, it's fantastic. Simple question. Will the R 5 mod produce more light in a SL 6 (more C cells = more voltage) than the R 5 in a SL 4? I'm thinking of getting a R 5 mod for the wife and already have a SL 4. Thanks, DMdoogie

I'm going to Palau from April 23 to May 7. I would be great to hook up with SB members. We'll dive with Peter Hughes April 23-April 30, then with Sam's/Sea Passion May 1-May 7. I'd love to meet some of you for dive or dinner/drinks. DMDoogie

Thanks, I booked with Peter Hughes April 23-30, and Sam's/Sea Passion for May 1-7. I can't wait. DMDoogie

I'm considering booking a Palau trip April 24- May 7. Is this getting too close to the rainy season? What kind of conditions can I expect for these dates? I'm flexible in dates, and could go earlier. Please give me some advice. Thanks, DMDoogie
