Hi everyone, I will be on Grand Cayman - Gerogetown for the first time, plus, I am arriving by cruise ship (first time on a cruise as well - not my choice but dictated by family/non-diver situation). Royal Caribbean - Liberty of the Seas. The cruise schedule shows that we will port at 10 AM...

Hi. My family and I are staying in Koloa landing in June with non-diving family members and friends. Can u recommend a dive op/snorkel boat (if they have that type of op)? Or would it better just to shore dive and let nondivers snorkel in PoipuBeach? Thanks.

Hi, I have reservations for a group camp site at El Capitan State Beach Campground (Ortega Group Camp site) in July for 3 days/2 nights (Fri-Sun). The site is on the beach side of the 101 fwy. However, only two in our group dives. Suffice it to say the main purpose of this trip is not diving...

Hi I was wondering if its possible to pair one transmitter to a d6i and a vytec simultaneously so that both computers will have tank pressure readings for the same tank. and if so, how? I read the two manuals and it doesn't discuss how this could be done, and that paring is by a single code...

I've seen some reviews that the strap's clasp/buckle (not sure what to call it but the thing that you use to secure the watch to your wrist) is plastic and has a risk of breaking. Is there a replacement clasp/buckle made of metal? thanks

Hi everyone, My family (myself: diver w/200+ dives; wife: nondiver; and one yr old daughter) is heading to Maui in November. I've been to Maui before and its my wife's first time. (My last trip to Maui was a dive trip and consisted of all boat dives. Obviously, pre-marriage/baby) My wife...

Hi everyone, I'm heading to Monterey this weekend with the pregnant wife for our baby-moon. I wish I could get a couple dives in, since I've never dove the area. But I don't think the wife will let me go out. However, i think I can convince her to let me putter around sight seeing a...

Hi everyone, I'm flying from LAX to PNS with my scuba gear and just reviewed United's baggage policy. Apparently, scuba gear is not considered part of the "normal baggage allowance" (ie: $25 for first checked bag). Scuba gear is considered "special" and is charged $100 to check...

I just got back from Roatan and can't figure out what this fish is (don't have the books and have been unsuccessful online). I shoulda asked my DM but forgot about it. Maybe someone here can help me. Thanks

Hi everyone, I googled housings for my camera and it seems that ikelite is the only manufacturer that offers a housing. does anyone know of any other options for housing manufacturers? also which strobe should i use for this camera/housing? i'm new to underwater photography and this is...

Hi everyone, I've been reading all the posts for my upcoming trip to Komodo LOB (Nov 30-Dec 6 with Ari Jaya's new boat) and Bali/Tulamben (Dec 7 - 12). Could you help me with some specific questions for my Bali/Tulamben portion? 1) Is 3.5 days of diving in Tulamben too long? Should I...

Hi everyone, I don't post very often but I love using this site for helpful info (always lurking - hahaha). I'm getting my trip ready for the southern portion of Africa (I leave next week Wed. 24-9-08 (HOO!!HOO!!) Cape Town is my last destination before I have to return back home to...

I'm thinking of purchasing the Air2 and have read the threads posted on this board. I was wondering how you tell the difference between a 3rd and 4th gen Air2. I'm assuming the box and/or the Air2 itself does not state on it "3rd gen" or "4th gen". Is it safe to assume that the Air2 I...

We (three divers) had plans to fly to Cozumel this Wednesday (10/26 thru 11/2) for eight days but because of Wilma we are looking into alternative plans. Are the dive conditions (ie: visibility, chance of seeing pelagics) in the Sea of Cortez still good for this time of year? We are...

Does anyone know how the guys at Dive With Martin and his family held up through Wilma? I'm hoping they are all right and safe.

Hi everyone, I've read the two stickies regarding favorite restaurants. They are very helpful but I have a very narrowly defined question. (I don't know how I would do a search to find an answer to my question.) My friends and I will be in Coz for the first time and we are renting a...

My understanding is that it is not good to be in the water during a red tide. Surfers seem to complain about nose and throat irritation after surfing in a red tide. 1) Is it safe to dive during or through a red tide? 2) Is it safe to catch/eat lobsters caught during a red tide...

Hi everyone, I'm gonna be in Coz for the first time from 10/26 thru 11/2. I've searched this section regarding what wetsuit to wear and water temps during that time. It seems like upper 70s and lower 80s. Would this be correct? I dove Maui in Sept and a shortie was perfectly fine...

Listen to this.... it's no where near scuba related but it's hilarious. http://www.chumfm.com/MorningShow/bits/march24.swf
