Over thinking is one of my hobbies :wink:

Both Malaysia and Indonesia are opening up. The cost for either will be less than what I've got booked for the Maldives, even after I lose the deposit I put on the Scubaspa. The accommodations won't be as luxe, and the travel to and from will be longer. Still debating. My son doesn't necessarily...

Thanks. I've booked the Maldives, because I think there's good diving there almost anytime. We're combining an island near Hanifaru Bay (mantas and whale sharks in July) with a Liveaboard. That should allow us to go almost anyplace where the diving is good. I would have loved to go to Sipadan or...

I just went the safe route and booked a liveaboard in the Maldives. Now, the issue is that I am trying to get a few days prior to the ship in Baa Atoll near Hanifaru Bay (mantas and whale sharks), but the Maldives prohibits transfers between resorts or from resorts to liveaboards if the place...

Thanks. I should be more patient, but I like to have plans in place (which means I've had to change plenty of trips over the past 24 months). Also, I am using miles on Singapore, so don't want to get boxed out of award flights by waiting too long. I will probably make a decision when I see...

My son and I will be in Cambodia at the end of June doing some volunteer work. We'd like to go diving afterwards, but need advice on where to go/what's likely to be open to Westerners. I think I have enough points on Singapore Air to get almost anywhere in SE Asia. Ideally, we'd go to Sipadan or...

We are diving with Ocean Encounters for the 2 tank am dives. I did see the Dive Bus, but it looked like they offered morning dives. I will ask them about afternoons.

My son and I leave for Curaçao on Sunday (12/26). We’ve booked 2 tank dives for the mornings on the 27th to 29th, and we get unlimited tanks for shore diving. Are there any guides who lead groups in the afternoon or at night from the shore? He’d prefer a guide to going on our own.

Harry, Thank you. That’s exactly the time and the place that we’ll be visiting. We are not trained in dry suits. Disappointing to hear that 7mm may not be enough. After diving Sharm last spring, I had sorta thought we could do something warmer next year. I shouldn’t have jumped on that hotel...

My son and I will be in the Galapagos over spring break. There isn't enough time for a live aboard, so we are opting for Scuba Iguana. I know it is the "warmest" part of the year there, though not warm by usual standards. Can one get by with a 3mm or 5mm at their sites, or will we have to go...

Thank you for the thorough review. My son and I will be in the Galapagos over spring break. There isn't enough time for a live aboard, so we are opting for Scuba Iguana. I will certainly make note of all your concerns. However, one area where I am not clear is protection for their dives. I know...

"The depth readings were always a few feet deeper than all the other computers." Just used this in Sharm el Sheikh. Worked well for the first 8 dives, but on the 9th, it got stuck 11 feet deeper than we actually were. My son (who was using the Atmos) landed up doing an extra-long safety stop...

Anyone know how to reset an Atmos Mission One so that the dive log is erased? I bought one used and it has a dozen dives from the prior owner. I'd like my son to be able to start with a fresh log book.

Let me know how you’d like to complete the sale.

I’ll take it for $310, if you throw in the USPS or other priority shipping. Why are you selling it? It seem like a good computer, especially for the price. I have a Teric. This is for my son, who currently has a Suunto Zoop-Novo.

Have you sold this yet?

That's our story, and I'm sticking with it (especially when I will miss Passover with the family to be there in March/April).

Jewish slaves built the pyramids, and we will be there at the perfect time, Passover. I hope that the Red Sea doesn't part while we try to dive in it. From what I read the Blue Hole and the Canyon in Dahab are more for advanced open water divers. We plan to get AOC and Nitrox certified while we...

...yeah, maybe a resort in Sharm is a better bet for our first trip there.
