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...

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...

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...

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

I'm going to Habitat Curacao for a week on Aug 14. I know that Habitat has a restaurant, but we would like to try some other places, especially some budget eats. Are there any restaurants near Habitat, or if not, what's the best strategy to get to them? Cab, shuttle to town? Last time I was...

Hi, I need some advice from some of you Fiji divers abaout planning a trip in April 2010. We are going for two weeks and want one week on a live-aboard and one week at a dive resort. We don't want to dive the same sites for both weeks. Cost is not a major concern, but if we can save a little on...

I haven't been to either, and am considering the Brac Beach Resort or Little Cayman Beach Resort. Prices are really not a consideration, and airfares frim MIA are the same. I'm looking for the best wall diving, I understand the BBR used to take boats to Little Cayman, do they still do this since...

My wife and I were there from May 26-June 2. We dove every day with Blue XT-Sea and stayed at El Cantil condos. Both were excellent choices. The diving: Incredible every day and night. Water temps 83 degrees every day and the usual 100 ft + excellent vis. The only visibility issue was the huge...

I purchared a PT-043 housing to use with my 1030SW and my Sea & Sea Ys-27 strobe. The Housing has a screwed in diffuser plate over where the camera strobe would flash. I want to use the synch cord from the YS-27 with the usual blask mask on the housing covering the camera flash. How do I attach...

I'm using the SLX with standard alkaline batteries and love the light. Would the light gain any performance (output or run time) by using disposable lithium batteries or rechargeable ni-cads? Thanks, DMdoogie

I just got back from a week long trip to Anthony's Key Resort. We got a nasty surprise when asking about the upcoming dives. AKR will not take divers to Mary's Place anymore. As far as I'm concerned, Mary's Place is one of the premier dive sites on the island, and one that has always been the...

I know that some computer manufacturers are integrating a digital compass into their computers. Does anyone make stand-alone, wrist mountable digital compass? Dmdoogie

We've seen a record number of Loggerhead turtles in the last few days in West Palm Beach. It must be their mating season. I saw two Loggerheads mating off the Mizpah wreck yesterday, and saw three today on Flower Garden reef. If I hadn't gotten out of his way, one of them would have head butted...

I know I can get some good advice in this forum. We are planning a Palau trip next year, one week on the Aggressor, with a week in a hotel. We've stayed in the Palau Pacific before and are looking for a place a little less expensive. What would you recommend. We would like to have shore diving...

I'll be staying at the Palau Pacific hotel for a week. Are there any restaurants nearby, or within cab range? I'd like to eat in the local places rather than the hotel if possible. Thanks, DMdoogie
