If I were you, I would not expect to dive. Go, and rent gear when and if you can dive. I would definitely book the Spectre boat, which is the best and most honestly run dive boar in SoCal... If they don't go out because of conditions, they refund your money in full. Some of the others, if you...

I would answer this with a wholehearted 'no!' I recently did exactly what you are suggesting and it was awful. I am fairly experienced - about 150 logged dives, and I had a friend certified some time ago, who had not been diving in a few years. He struggled recalling basic things and I did not...

If you really want to try a live aboard, consider Egypt. The live aboards are much less expensive, more than making up for the increased cost of the flight, and the reefs, if you go south along the Egyptian mainland - Elphinstone, Brothers Islands, Fury Shoals, Daedelus and St. John's reefs are...

I dive in Connecticut, though not in winter. When the water is in the mid fifties to low sixties, I'll dive in a 3mm john under a 5mm jacket and a 3mm hood; with 5mm boots and gloves. I do wear a rash guard, though I'm not sure it helps with the cold. I can dive 40 minutes to an hour comfortably...

Did you stay at Captain Don's? I am planning my first trip to Bonaire... really excited, and looking for tips/ where to stay, especially. Paul

Really nice video. I have the same camera. I guess have to stop blaming the camera and admit I just suck at making videos.

I am. I am not married to the Venice thing, but would be open to pretty much anything in water above 45 degrees, which is what it is here in CT.

Marsa Shagra and Marsa Nakari are both run by Red Sea Diving Safaris. Marsa Shagra is tthe main facilty. It is much larger than either Marsa Nakari or Wadi Lahami. You can stay at Marsa Shagra and do a day trip to Nakari, but Wadi Lahami is further south and would need an overnight to make it...

That's too bad. Marsa Shagra and Marsa Nakari are my favorite places to dive in Egypt... I was interested to see how someone else with wider experience judged them.

I am looking for someone to dive with. I read about the fossil area in Venica and thought it would be interesting. I am open to other places if you know the area better.

@BoltSnap - wondering how your trip went. I love Marsa Shagra and Marsa Nakari - dove there there a lot between 2019-2022, great house reef. Wadi Lahami was closed due to low traffic, partly COVID, but even after restricitons were lifted.

Looking for a dive buddy for Venice for a fossil hunt for January 29-31.

Thank you for the info on the adjusting screw. I don't work on my gear. I get 'the guy' to do it because while I am handy when it comes ot macro work (I do carpentry and suuch) micro work is hard, I'm a little clumsy in the fine motor department. Iwill visit with the tech who worked on it and...

Based on your information, maybe it would be prudent to invest in new hoses.

I would be interested in discussing further. Can we set up a time for voice call or zoom chat?

If I have not found a solution by the time you return, let's connect and we can serve our mutual needs. Thanks, Paul

I am honestly not sure. I need first stages compatible pressure-wise,with an IP pressure that won't trigger the OPVs in my first stage hoses. I want to use them withh the Jet stream 'shower head' style first stages

Interested, depending on price.

I have had my first stage and second stage serviced and the over pressure problem persisted. The tech mentioned the pressure differential between the first and second stages that @Nemrod mentioned "The problem is that the Cyklon first stage is set to 166 psi and the Jetstream second stage...

I have shower head second stages. Ideally I would like to buy a first stage compatible with those second stages.
