I was the one who got my head sniffed. Guess my shampoo didn't smell so great to the seal. That was an epic dive. Thanks again for the tour, Steve. Learning how to fly on the scooter was a blast.

Thanks. I'll give em a call

My brother and I are gonna be in town the weekend of the 19th. We'll have time for about 1 dive. I dove the BHB several years ago with the help of someone on this BB. Like to do it again. Since it's only one dive, I'm not planning to drag gear all the way from SoCal. Can someone recommend a...

Thanks for the reminder. I will be hiking in the canyon, so I'll be sure to follow the rules. Same with when we fly from Kauai to Maui. No diving the day before, just snorkeling and touristy stuff.

Hi all, I am also going to be there in June/early July. I'm familiar with Bubbles Below and Fathom Five from my last trip maybe ten years ago. At that time, I don't remember anyone diving Napili, although I might just have missed it. How is Napili Coast diving compared to Niihau? Looking at...

I booked three dive days and the whale shark snorkel with Manta Divers. Mimi there was very pleasant to deal with, returned calls quickly, and provided a fair price. I will let everyone know how the trip was when I get back. Thanks for the recommendations.

looking to do maybe two days in the cenotes (caverns, not caves) in late June plus have time for a third day of diving maybe in the ocean, ferry to Coz, or something. Last time I was there, we dove Chak Mol, but I can't find the name of the operator. True were excellent, maybe a half hour out of...

It is not. Both cathedrals are at moderate depth and have several exit points. They are probably considered caverns (definitely not considered caves), but I would say they are very safe ones. Sandy bottoms that will not silt, good visibility without lights (although lights make it more fun), and...

Anyone ever used these guys? Maui Scooter Divers - Maui's Scooter Diving Specialists - Come scuba Diving with us! i have one extra day to spend next month and thought I would try some scooter diving near Kihei/Makenna. I know about Maui Dreams, which seems to have great reviews, but Maui...

A few of mine have been mentioned by others as well. 1. Diving lessons for my daughter - dive buddies forever. 2. Apollo bio fins with aftermarket (cheap) spring straps - I have tried a bunch of other fins, but these have always been my favorites. 3. My Henderson 3mm hooded vest. Lives in my...

Definitely do whatever you prefer. Just as a data point, I dive a lot in California in water temps in the low-mid-50's. If I don't wear gloves (tried it twice, once by "accident") my hands get cold quickly and I lose dexterity due to overly cold, numb hands. I tried a bunch of different...

Nothing really fancy. I did find a really nice filet knife once that I gave to the charter boat owner.

Flying this Friday 6/15 to Kauai. I can dive Sun, Tues, Wed, maybe Thurs if it's early. Fying out Friday pm, 6/22. I originally had this scheduled: Sunday - Nihau Tues am - Tunnels Tues night - Tunnels Wed - Boat dive on south shore BUT- I am the only one signed up for the Nihau trip with...

Has the vis at Koloa Landing cleared up? What can we expect currently? I will be there next week, and currently have Nihau, Tunnels, and Koloa Landing scheduled. I have been to Koloa Landing once before, and it was fantastic. In fact, the dragon morray in my avatar was from there. I scheduled...

Wow, thanks a LOT for the tech in that response! I definitely learned something. Basically, I do understand (even better now!) that this camera is just doing the best it can with its limited hardware. I was pretty happy with the underwater video. I will probably pick up something better for...

Well, at the suggestion of the place where I bought the camera, I took it to Turks and Caicos for a week to see how it did underwater. Ok, it wasn't their suggestion to go to T&C, that was my idea, but they suggested I keep the camera until I had a chance to work with it underwater. It...

I want to post an update on this because the Director of Guest Services reimbursed my brother for his computer, which was extremely nice of her to do. Mike

Wow, sorry all, I thought it would be clear that I was exagerating, but I forgot how hard it is to convey inflection on the internet. Per my post, I have Apollos, I love my Apollos, and my other fins, while not Apollos, are still split fins. I was just poking fun at the people who...

Well, now that I am on the island, I can answer my own question. They will let you put your personal stuff in one of the lockers near the training pool. We did so yesterday and today. Unfortunately, someone stole the puck out of my brother's console during the 6 hours between the morning and...

I don't think there is any such thing as "too much fin" for a diver. Unless maybe you go to freediving fins on scuba :-) I have the Apollos and love them. I haven't tried the Hollis fins, but I hear they are pretty good. The main differences are the feel of the fins in the water and the...
