    Multiple window mask for increased field of view

    I don't like side windows....they are too distracting, everything off to the side is blurred by them and they may let light in which reflects off the front glass, messing up your forward vision. I go with black skirt and no side windows, but those may be alright for you...depends on the...

    This board is great! Tons of good information from people who've had the experience....not from someone who just wants to sell you something! Have fun & dive safe! Cheers.....

    Guam

    As Rooster says about Guam...you either love it or hate it! Right now I hate it. We just got hit by 2 typhoons a week apart!!! The second one wasn't nearly as bad & was on the verge between typhoon & tropical storm when it hit us.....either way, they stink. I am one of the lucky ones and...

    Trouble w/acronyms

    It took me forever to figure out what the heck "LDS" was! Duh! (Local Dive Shop, I think) Are there any you can't figure out that aren't on those above links? Cheers!

    Scubapro--twin Jet Fin

    Yup, I'm in Guam....and NO on the Guinness! Not on tap anyway, that I know of. I was in Okinawa recently where I got some on tap, but we paid like $8.50 a pint!!!! Ah, but t'was worth it... About the dive shops.... I've only dove with 2 of the major ones, MDA and Guam Tropical Dive Station...

    Environmental Impact

    I'm always surprised by the apathy I see from people about damaging coral. They don't seem to worry about breaking pieces off with their fins. I usually tell them about it immediately if I see it. It's usually tourists who won't be back to dive that site ever again, so they don't care how it...

    to buddy check or not

    Especially if I show up at the dive boat solo. You've all read the stories about buddies getting sued when something goes wrong, haven't you?!? There was a death here in Guam recently that probably would have been prevented if his buddy (who could've been a stranger) had checked his air...

    Good board

    Do you have a generator? If not, I guess you'll read this when it comes back on. About Piti channel: I did a night dive there a couple weeks before the typhoon. It was a great dive! A little disorienting once you get out past the reef. I dove with a local guys who's been there a...

    Guam is in Typhoon condition 1, just lost power

    Well, it hit us pretty hard & we haven't had electricity since the night of the 4th. Rumor is we might get it by tonight (8 July). At least we have running water at home! Some parts of the island don't even have that! And to top it all off, there is another tropical depression forming down...

    Who Wears A Snorkel When Diving ?

    I've always worn one up until my last 2 dives...... Now I just strap it down to my BC strap, so I'll have it if I need it! Cheers!

    What is your Scuba-Mobile?

    When I found out we were leaving Germany for Guam, I sold our '98 Eagle Talon TSi turbo and bought a new Toyota RAV4 so I'd have something to carry my dive gear in!! I miss the sporty car, but we're better off without it here.....the roads suck, the max speed limit on Guam is 45mph, the roads...

    Something to avoid likely...

    That's why I constantly check the safety on my gun!! I wonder if it was an accident or somebody was trying to do him in.....

    Light cannon bulbs

    I must've gotten one of the new ones....I bought mine from your shop on Big Navy & haven't had any problems yet!! Oh, and by the way....I did my first (and last) boat dive with a certain other un-named dive shop...starts with a "G"... on Sunday. The boat was crammed with tourists & it just...

    LeisurePro an OK outfit to buy online?

    But I am extremely happy with DiveInn!!!! I just ordered a Cressi Big Eyes mask from them last Thursday afternoon.....I got it Monday morning!!! And the kicker: They are in SPAIN and I'm in GUAM! Couldn't believe it. I've heard that their customer service is great and they honor all...
