    Canon G7X Mark III - Initial Thoughts

    I would be all over the G7X Mark III, however releasing a brand new camera with 4k 30fps max is disappointing. Not sure why 60fps hasn't become a standard yet. It really makes a difference to me when filming underwater and things are moving fast(er). The Lumix LX10 has been out for a couple...

    Planning First Trip to Catalina

    Thanks for the comments - I'm going to go for it! 7mm rental sounds good (haven't ever needed one that thick before though!). I have a 2mm hooded vest which worked well with a 3mm full suit for my rescue training in a lake here in Dallas a couple months ago. Mid-High 60's water I think. Good...

    Planning First Trip to Catalina

    Hey guys, glad to see some current info about Catalina. I'm sailing out there over the 4th of July and will be on the island for 2 full days on the 3rd and 4th. I'm considering diving there (like to dive anytime I can since based in DFW away from the ocean), however I'm concerned about the...

    St. Regis Vommuli

    Wife and I are going to the St. Regis Maldives in Vommuli in October. Has anyone been diving there that can give a good review of how it was? Trying to plan our time there and figure out how many days to expect to dive. For reference and comparison, we've been diving in places like Palau...

    Oneuli Beach (Black Sand Beach) fatality

    Father of an old high school friend of my wife apparently passed away yesterday in Maui: http://mauinow.com/2018/01/24/texas-visitor-dies-in-scuba-diving-accident/ At 9:49 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 24, 2018, emergency crews in South Maui responded to Oneuli Beach, also known as Black Sand...

    Scubaspa?

    Ditto, we were on Spirit of Freedom on the Great Barrier Reef in 2010, and just got back from MV Pawara in Thailand a month ago. From the looks of it, Scubaspa should be worth the additional cost. As other have mentioned, it's more expensive to stay at a resort in the Maldives and dive than it...

    Scubaspa?

    Great to hear that someone else is going. We are trying to get our deposit sent over today to confirm our booking. In general the boat does look amazing and has a bit more luxury than we're used to on dive boats haha. I'm sure it will be a good experience. Please do post a write up about...

    Scubaspa?

    My wife and I are interested in Scubaspa for Oct this year. Would love to hear some more experiences of people that have been on Ying or Yang. We were aiming for Blue Force One, but it filled up and we are stuck going to the Maldives over a specific week due to our schedules.

    Diving in Sri Lanka

    Hello, my wife and I will be in Sri Lanka in mid October of this year. We realize it's not the ideal time of year for diving most parts of the country, but are wondering if anyone has been this time of year. "Unsettled" as the weather description that time of the year just doesn't make sense...

    Sri Lanka Diving

    Thank you for the good info here, Nishan. Wife and I are heading to Sri Lanka in the middle of October because we're going after a visit to NW India. Best time of year to visit Delhi for cooler weather and less rains, but apparently not the best for SL at all. We are 100+ dive AOW divers...

    Are Rescue Skills really needed by the average diver.... ?

    Completely agree. I was just trying to read up more into what we'd be getting into. Agree about doing the training with the wife. She isn't as experienced (45 dives) and gets frustrated easier, so it will be a challenge for her, but a good one.

    Are Rescue Skills really needed by the average diver.... ?

    I am interested in doing Rescue Diver training to be more familiar with self-rescue techniques, and also because when I dive with my wife I am constantly looking after her to make sure she is ok. If there was a problem, I want to know that I could take care of the situation and rescue her if...

    Grand Cayman shore diving map?

    Good to know. I thought I had read this as well, however I did notice that Divetech offers unlimited shore diving with some of their packages, however I guess that I do need to ask if they can leave their property or if that's only for Lighthouse Point, haha. I will definitely check out these...

    Grand Cayman shore diving map?

    I have found a few maps that indicate some of the spots, but looking for a more complete map with some good info on entries. No map seems to have them all, and all of them don't match each other that I've found (yet). Also, any recommendation on the best place to get Nitrox tanks from? Anyone...

    Diving cost by islands?
