I have recently taken a PADI Solo course and got certified for it (it might be called self reliant - can't remember. I would have to go look at my card). I needed it for a training lagoon I go to on occasion to test out equipment and do drills - things that are sometimes hard to find a dive...

I have just started researching which ones have the best "single supplements". As I do want a room to myself. I can see me reaching out to a dive guide to buddy up. I am glad I have heard so many say that has been a common practice.

Thanks all for the replies. That gives me some sense that it is still very feasible to travel solo on a Liveaboard.

Hello all, I have not dove with many people. Mainly my wife, my instructor and briefly a friend who went diving with me and my wife a couple of times. I now find myself in a situation where my wife understandably doesn't plan on diving any more (although she wishes she could), because of a back...

I finally heard from them again today. Better news this time. They had no choice but to cancel my trip on the Kona aggressor due to the fact that the Governor or Hawaii basically just closed down Hawaii, but putting in a mandatory 2 week quarantine for anyone flying in and taking away boat...

I called Aggressor about my upcoming trip. They said all trips are still happening and they are sticking with their current refund/cancellation policies. So unlike many other industries, including many airlines and cruise ships that are closing down for 30-60 days and/or allowing you to...

I would use for both OC Rec & OC Tec. Doing only OC Rec right now. There are of course some required things I would want to see and I know that will fit on the display. But then there are things that are not critical, but would be useful at times and then just nice-to-haves - because I am a data...

Question: Since both devices allow you to customize the screen layout, I am wondering that since Perdix has the larger screen, does it allow you to display more information on the screen at one time compared to the Teric or do both have the exact same limits on the amount of information and it...

Thank you for the feedback and the contact. I will reach out to him. --Mike

Hi all, I am planning a trip to Kauai in May of 2020. Plan to do some diving in Kauai and Niihau. I have to pick a dive operator to go with and there are several factors that will help me make my choice. I am very safety conscious, so that is the main thing I look at. Of course I care about the...

@tbone1004 well with my new STA giving me the ability to lower my tank more and adjusting one shoulder strap, I no longer tip forward on the surface and I am no longer getting hit in the back of the head by the first stage. As for the shoulder strap adjustment, basically my left shoulder strap...

Thanks @PfcAJ & @tbone1004 . I will give your suggestions a try. If they work, it seems I didn't need those other STA's to fix the problem after all. You know I wonder if this is also the cause of another problem I had with this newly setup BP/Wing setup. The other problem I had was that on the...

Hi all, My wife got a new BP & Wing, so I readjusted her old Eclipse for my use. My Eclipse was starting to show some signs of wear and tear. Fit felt the same as mine after my adjustments. I went diving with it and every once in a while if I leaned my head back, I would hit the back of my...

Hello all, I got a new camera housing setup. I now need to add some lift to it to get closer to neutral buoyancy. I am trying to decide if a buoyancy arm (like Kraken floats) that has adjustable buoyancy while diving by letting in water (ballast) would be worth it - over something like just...

Hello, I have a Canon A620 camera in a Canon housing & no strobes. I have always had some focusing issues, which at times is frustrating and can cause me to miss a shot, but at least I have some methods to try to work around it. Of course that is not the point of this post The problem I am...

Does anyone know anything about this adapter from Inon? The URL listed at the end of this post takes you to a site that shows a 67mm mount base for the WP-DC90. I have not been able to find this on any English based web site and not even on the Inon site. However, if I am understanding this...

Can you tell us more details of what it looked like to you vs what the camera might not be showing us. For instance were you able to make out more of it's color? Was it green with spots or red with spots or etc.... My first guess by looking at the picture is some type of hind. --Mike

Nice pics. As for that turtle - wow - he is in drastic need of a cleaning station. --Mike

Compared to where I live - Miami. Gas was about $1.20 more per gallon. At the local supermarket - most food seem to be double and some triple what I pay in Miami. I did some drives around Kihei and Napili - looking at houses. For houses that looked to be in similar areas to what I live in...

That first hour is spent getting a briefing and you have to watch a video, where one of the local Hawaiian leaders talks to you about the program. I was just there - June 23rd, 2006. They told me 40 or 45 minutes (I can't remember for sure which), but they certainly didn't tell me 30. We...
