    Has anyone dove with Small Hope Bay but not stayed with them?

    Hey everyone. We are looking to go down to Andros mid July and are renting a cottage a little bit down the road from SHB. I reached out to Small Hope today and felt a little shot down. I asked a few questions but was pretty much told that they will cater to the people staying with them (totally...

    Day of the week for Isla Muejeres Whale Shark trip?

    We are in talks with BA to do this during our honeymoon but need to pick which day of the week to go. Is there a better day to do this? Are there particular days that may get busier than others? I don't know if the cruise ships come in on a particular day or if cruise shippers would even have...

    Birthday fun??

    My fiance's birthday will fall on our honeymoon (July 20th/Saturday) and I was wondering if there's anything good going on in the evenings that we could go to? We'll be staying at Blue Angel. I didn't know if any restaurants had bands playing or just something different from the normal...

    Women's BC sizing

    I have been excited for the new Details/Twilight line to come out but am dissapointed to see that the sizing stops at a M/L. Is there anything in the future to have a L/XL size added? It kind of stinks to have a line catered to women but not cater to all shapes and sizes of women, especially...

    Blue Angel booking contact

    We decided to go with Blue Angel for our honeymoon next July and reached out to BA via the contact form on their site and after a few days of not hearing anything we figured maybe the contact form wasn’t working properly so we emailed them directly. They responded back to the email pretty...

    July/2013 Honeymoon Help

    I'm having a hard time deciding on where to stay in Cozumel for our mid-July honeymoon. I normally stay at more quiet secluded places but it looks like there's a lot of bigger resorts on the island. We would like to stay for 10-11 days and would be flying out of PHL. I'm not particularly picky...

    Mares Fin Buckles

    After 3 years the buckles on my fins have not loosened up at all on my Mares Avanti X3's and are nearly impossible to get open without ripping my fingers and nails apart. Is there anything I can do to loosen them up? Maybe file some of the plastic a bit or some kind of lubrication. Don't get me...

    Was thinking about heading down to St. Croix this July and was planning on diving with St. Croix Ultimate Bluewater Adventures off a friends recommendation that used to work with the dive op.

    Palau for new-ish divers?

    My dream trip has always been Palau. My SO and I have been discussing maybe taking next year off from Caribbean diving and saving up for a Palau trip in 2013. By the time we go we'll have maybe 50-70ish dives which include NO drift dives. We could always wait a few more years but we're both in...

    Roberto Clemente crash site in PR

    This is purely out of curiosity but I've been a huge baseball and Clemente fan since I was a kid. I was wondering if the site that his plane crashed was diveable and if anyone has ever dove it for recovery purposes since the 70's? It looks like it went down about a mile off shore from San Juan...

    1 Flight question, 1 FIBR question, 1 food question

    I see online that Continental will allow 1 free checked bag for international flights. How does that work when I fly from PHL -> Houston -> Roatan? Will it still be free? and is there any kind of washing machine at FIBR? I'm really trying to minimize what I bring down and it would be great...

    RIP Christopher Pettit - found 2/7/09

    Tomorrow marks the 2nd anniversary of recovering my cousin Christopher's body after he drowned Nov 15th during a duck hunting accident. He was only 23 years old and I always thought he'd be around. It still breaks my heart to think that I can't pick up the phone and call him. He loved everything...

    Roatan dive sites

    Hey everyone :) I'm heading to FI in April and will be diving with CajunDiva (yay!). What are the average depths of the dive sites? I've done a lot of research and it seems like a lot of the sites are fairly deep. I'm a relatively new diver (only 14 or so dives) and the deepest I've ever gone is...

    LDS sponsored trips

    We were just quoted a price for a trip next year that our LDS is taking. In general, are the prices a little higher because some of what we pay will go towards the LDS's way? Is this a common practice or are the prices we pay actually discounted?
