Going to Playa Del Carmen, if I go empty handed I will be harassed by whale sharks and manta rays, or the ground will be littered with rare and beautiful invertebrates.

Hello, my wife and I are contemplating a 7-10 day stay on the Brac early 2024. Most likely a VRBO condo and a car and mostly shore diving with a few boat dives. Wondering how much I need to budget for food, we will eat 75-80% of meals the condo. Any idea what the current food prices are like...

Are the neck seals on all dry suits pretty much the same? If I try brand X and the neck seal is a deal breaker, am I doomed to dive wet for all eternity. If it doesn't bother me, will any dry suit neck seal feel pretty much the same? TIA, Andy

Hello, Anyone have a way to approximate the guide number for video lights like the Kraken Hydra series lights? Looking at the Hydra 4000, in burst mode the say 6000 lumens, do you think that would make a dent if fired with an Inon D-200? TIA, Arew

So my wife and I are going to start diving nitrox on air settings, plan to continue using our pro plus 3s as primaries in air mode. I want to run back up computers in nitrox mode at for actual gas values to track O2 exposure, and MOD etc. Question is how important would it be to match deco...

Figured I would start this up for all the early planners out there. Just pulled the trigger on two weeks in the middle of July 2022. Wed. to Wed. VRBO in Sabadeco area. AA, Philly to Miami to Bonaire. Family of 5, all divers, the kids got certified on Bonaire in 2016, so it their second trip...

A couple from Curacao I don't think I've posted before. From a TG-5 no housing or strobe.

With U.S. Restart Stalled, Cruise Lines Consider Cozumel As Home Port There goes the neighborhood. This sounds like a bad idea, any one have local knowledge?

Just upgraded to digital system and added an Inon D-200. The fiber optic cable seems fragile to me. How often do these things tend to fail? How tight of a bend can they make before they lose signal, the pig tail portion is pretty tight and fairly long but I'm guessing it was heat formed. Do they...

Just booked a trip for the family in early July. Staying at El Cantil condos, and diving with Tres Pelicanos. Haven't been to Cozumel since 1996, so I expect a lot has changed, and many of the things that will strike me as different actually be the same. One thing I can't recall is the current...

Anyone have input? Supposed GN-32

I think it could be quite interesting to see shots of some of the most iconic features of the more famous dive sites around the world over time. Obvious choices would be Christ of the Abyss in the keys, The Triton statue in Curacao, any of a number of wrecks through out the world. If you have a...

Like the title says, looking for recommendations for six pack. Contacted one of the ops that get good reviews on the board, and was a little shell shocked by the prices. There are five of us, and since all of the wrecks would be new to us I asked about a guide. For the guide I would have to buy...

Interested in people's opinions/attitudes on the title subject. You can choose up to two answers Would you consider joining/forming a LLC/ Partnership for the purpose of buying maintaining and renting a vacation property

Not a real estate agent or developer etc. Have you ever considered buying a house or condo on Curacao? If so, what stops you? For me it's a blend of unfavorable financial terms on island, and the size of a single non liquid "investment"

Anyone know of a good camera shop in Curacao, on vacation got my TG 5 wet for first time, the Olympus housing flooded. The O-ring is defective, it has a large thin spot you can see and feel when you lube it. I'm am so ticked off it ain't funny! TIA, arew

A new diving show on Sci Channel, I have not watched it or read about it, because until I do, I can hope its worth watching. Unfortunately the promos are trying quash this.

Trying to modernize contemplating the TG5 and want to use my really old iklite substrobe ai to save money. Anyone know if this is possible, and how do i do it. TIA, Arew
