I should have mentioned in my post that I prefer the perdix because screen is easier for me to see with presbyopia. My wife had lasik so no issues for her with smaller screen on Tern TX.

I have Perdix AI and it is great. I don't do any tech diving but still appreciate the great screen and more aggressive algorithm. My wife was using an Oceanic Pro Plus 3 which she really liked, but I got her a Shearwater Tern AI recently. She didn't think she needed a new computer but now she...

I had the issue on Sunday so wasn't able to contact them. The shop adjusted the reg so it is better but still not as smooth as before servicing. Below 1000 psi there is still a slight resistance, but above that it is good.

It is a bummer because the reg was so smooth before it was serviced.

I am guessing the intermediate pressure is not correct but the shop is going to check and let me know.

I have been using a Deep 6 reg set for 3 or 4 years now. I sent it back to Deep 6 in the fall for a service. I received them back and all was good for our trip in January. Now we are in Cozumel and I am having issues with the first stage. When my tank reaches about half full the reg becomes...

My wife and I, and 2 friends are arriving April 13, and depart Apr 20. Staying El Presidente and diving with Roberta's Scuba Shack. Also doing a blackwater dive with Robert Stansfield sometime that week. I may be in need of a buddy for the blackwater dive if anyone is interested.

I am staying at El Presidente in April. My wife and I go to Cozumel twice each winter and have stayed at most of the nicer all inclusive resorts. She has been trying to get me to stay at El Presidente for years but I have always convinced her it was better to stay at Cozumel Palace for the...

The TG6 is an awesome camera and I have almost the same setup. I have started using a Canon G7X ii as my primary, but I kept the TG as a backup. It is so good at what it does, especially macro. This is a nice setup for someone wanting to get a start in underwater photography.

We are going June of 2025. Not the cheapest liveaboard but I wanted to do the photography oriented trip, and David has been a big help to me in learning underwater photography. Plus my wife is not keen on sharing bathrooms so a bit more amenities was a necessity. There are still cabins...

Hello. What is the age of the bcd? Any visible wear? Thanks

Great report and awesome video. My wife and I just signed up for a northern route liveaboard on MY Turquoise with David Haas Photography (SB Member also). It will be our first LOB trip, and first time to Egypt. You can definitely tell the difference between my Canon G7XII and your more...

Thanks for the replies. We have reshuffled our dive activities to allow us to go to Volcanoes Nat'l Park and see Akaka Falls. Unfortunately it means we canceled the blackwater for this trip. We go to Cozumel twice a year so we will book one next time we are there. Appreciate the feedback.

We are definitely doing the mantas, just wondering if the blackwater is worth losing a day of hiking and exploring the island. They only do it one day a week and that causes some schedule issues.

We are going to Kona to dive for the first time. We are planning 3 days of diving and 4 days of sightseeing. We are doing the night Manta Ray dive, and they recommended the blackwater dive. We have never done a blackwater dive, but I like to take photos so thought it might be a cool...

We leave in 2 weeks for Cozumel. We typically go twice each winter, and then a make a third trip to a location we have not been before. I have read about the bleaching and am hoping the reefs will recover now that water temps seem to be moderating. We will be diving with Scuba Luis and...

Thanks for the replies. The two spouses both like to dive, but are dead set against being on a boat for a week straight so no liveaboards for us. It sounds like Stuart lets you go 45 minutes to an hour, which is fine for us. My wife and I usually go an hour to hour and fifteen on a standard...

We are looking at taking a trip to Nassau Bahamas in March. We have never been to the Bahamas, and I am hearing mixed reviews of the diving around Nassay. Liveaboard is not an option for us, so most likely stay at the Riu Palace and dive with Stuart. I searched older threads but I still have...

Last year there was a large hammerhead hanging around as well. We saw several black tip reef sharks, and we got a really close encounter with the hammerhead. I have a video somewhere, if I find it I will post it.

I have stayed in the North, but not at the Westin. I have stayed at Iberostar, Grand Park Royal, Coral Princess, Casa Mexicana, El Cozumeleno, Casa Del Mar, Cozumel Palace. Most of these we have stayed two or three times. I have also dove with Salty Endeavors, from locations North and South...
