Hi - I used to be a regular on this board back in the day but since getting married and having two small kids we have not been diving together in almost 5 years. :-( My husband used to be a dive instructor in Indonesia & Thailand who has 2000+ dives under his belt, I am more novice < 200...

Ah yes, forgot about the seasickness patch. Glad I had that on. I took it off one day (because I was experiencing blurry short-range vision) and the results were less than ideal. I think in terms of the warm weather clothes, if you would like to have a long sleeve on when you're wet and...

Agreed. Just got back from the Galapagos and we had one guy on our trip who touched everything. Finally I saw a slipper lobster right out in the open at Wolf, about to take a pic, and the guy touches it. It freaks out and backs up a bit. Okay, you got your little love tap, fine, he's still...

Aww Eddie, so CLOSE. But I think the checkout dive was Isla Lobos. It only took me about 10 hours, but I think my photos are finally done. I labeled all with the dive sites as well, I will send them over. I have been trying to use picasa to put all of my short video clips (or...

Agreed. I dove with a 5mm in the warmer sites with a full skin underneath and was fine, but in the cooler sites (my computer showed 62degrees) I think I would have been freezing in anything less than my 7/5 with the full hood. My husband had a straight 7mm with a hooded vest underneath and...

We are going to Guayaquil first for a couple days, then we will be in Quito afterwards. Wanted to get a sense of both cities, although from everything I've heard Quito is preferred from a tourist point of view. So we will see you on the plane!

Are you going with Pan Aqua Aug 17-27? If so, Me Too! :-) See you there!

Hi, //

I enjoyed Wakatobi (maybe even more than most, since I met my fiancee there - heehee!!). Not sure if I enjoyed it 5X more than Bonaire, although it was 5X the price, but the coral is really, really healthy and there's a ridiculous amount of macro life, and the guides are really good at finding...

Hi - I dove in Indonesia about a year ago and have been to both Bonaire and Cozumel as well. In my opinion, as others have said, no where in the Caribbean is as nice as South East Asia (or, at least the only part of SE Asia I saw) in terms of amount of fish and the quality and color of the...

Hi , Just came back from Roatan a couple weeks ago and did this dive. I have some great pictures from it, so everyone is asking me what kind of sharks they were, and I realized I don't actually know! I know some type of reef shark, but can anyone tell me exactly what kind of reef shark...

Isn't that why they make duct tape?? :D Ah, yes a work shop air compressor. Yeah... that would not be good! I don't think he would do that... On second thought, maybe I will just send him a quick text...

Yep, the dive shop said to bring it back and they'd refill it for him. ( I think you were kidding about this, right? Otherwise there'd be a lot of sick students in the pool in the back of the shop! ) As far as the danger of it all, ok, it's somewhat dangerous to do anything under your boat...

Yeah--- well I guess he'll find out soon enough whether it works. The shop wouldn't sell him anything else unless he was certified (i.e. a pony tank ), so if this doesn't work I guess he will have no choice but to take the course! (Yay!) Anyway, I was way off about the depth - he said...

Well, I don't see what having 60 posts has anything to do with my knowledge of what the dangers are of using a Spare Air at 10ft without being officially certified for full on Scuba. Besides holding your breath when you come up, what are the other real dangers here? I'm asking seriously...

Well, I guess we'll see what happens. (I'm obviously not too worried). I was just wondering how long it would last for at that depth. I wasn't really looking to start off a chain of over-reaction.

yes... that would be prudent. Unfortunately he's not a very prudent guy. Up until now, he just goes down there and holds his breath, and untangles stuff, or cleans the bottom, or whatever. Last weekend though he was in Maine and couldn't get the line off because it was too cold and he...

I loved it! It was a great experience, very glad I went.

Everything I have heard is that the chances of seeing Whale sharks in July-August-Sept is nearly 100% and 50-50 the rest of the time. I was seriously considering doing a January trip instead because the water was warmer and calmer and the air hotter, but then I did some searches for trip...

Hahaha, that flying monkey is great. I want one!
