    Questions and concerns about Aggressor liveaboards. (First timer)

    I've been on the Roatan Aggressor twice (pre covid). I have not been on any other live aboard to compare. Both experiences were very similar, and excellent. Boat: was in great shape. There was a grey water flood on the first trip, but they got it sorted out pronto. Cabins: Dark, must...

    Now it's time to choose a wrist computer.

    I was in a similar situation, but the exact opposite. I started out diving with the Atomic Cobalt. Seemed like a smart buy at the time. Nothing to lose as its tethered, no wireless to fiddle with, and Atomic is the best at everything...... right????? :rolleyes: So after buying not one, but...

    Diving watches

    I agree with this 100%. I also reserve the right to judge them for it... maybe even privately make fun of them with my mates. :)

    Diving watches

    I'm an X'er. And i'm not wrong. It's the wrong tool for the job. Someone diving with a sub $1000 watch dumb. Someone diving with a Rolex Sub is just being a chad. Screams of "hey look at me, I'll dive with an $8000 watch when there are better options but I don't care.... i have money to burn".

    Thank you for pointing out the obvious. Who cares? Is there a point in there? Ok boomer.

    Diving watches

    A dive watch as a tool for diving is dumb. For 2021... traditional watches are basically jewlelry. I personally love traditional watches. Started with a Tag Formula 1 that is now 30 years old. Still have it. Have a few other Tags, a few Breitlings, and a Seiko SKX007 (GREAT entry level...

    Regulator Set up - input from more experienced divers, please

    Agreed. And you dont always know if the person on the other end is practiced. Another downside to the setup is if you are ever seperated from your BC. The SS1 doesn't always easilly fit on another BC.

    Regulator Set up - input from more experienced divers, please

    consider the complications of you using your inflator to exhaust on a stressed ascent while someone is breathing from it that was enough to make me switch off the ss1 i liked it otherwise

    Equipment Storage at Dressel Divers, Cozumel

    There is a gear rinse bin behind the building. For storage, there are sliding bins. Think of them as large milk crates. You need to bring a padlock. They will sell you one if they have one. Units are plenty big to put all your gear. There is a seperate wetsuit drying room. They lock both...

    Torn Between Two Computers

    Why would you feel silly? I feel silly buying my wife and I a pair of Atomic Colbalt 2's as our first dive computer. If I would have bought us the Perdix's instead at the beginning I would have been a $2400 richer genius. If by being reasonable you mean you don't want to spend the money for...

    Checking tank pressure does BC hose need to be attached?

    Hey know it all... It's called a cylinder. Take a lap.

    Should a Dive Op charge you for rental gear in the case of your own gear failure?

    Same. An extra computer too. It has come in handy on multiple occasions.

    A question, (rhetorical)

    Picked up the apeks white mask. The white didnt bother me and i liked how it looked. But it didnt seal great for me so back to the atomic venom i went. Tried the white tusa paragon too. My face just works best with atomic... wish they made a white skirt.

    Is it possible to travel responsibly (during a pandemic)?

    I admire the thought. I'd like you to have the correct prophecy. Sadly, the song I hear is Cracker's "Don't F**k Me Up (With Peace and Love)"

    How to answer "what is your highest certification level"?

    I keep the TDI Trimix card in my wallet. So if asked, I goto it. Almost always never had a problem with it for rec dives with nitrox fills. In some cases they even asked me about specific tank sizes or mix options. A couple times, usually at resorts, the trainee working the counter wont know...
