Hi All, I'm taking my 75 year old Dad to Kenya and Egypt and plan to have two full days (Feb 25th, 26th) at Makadi Bay (just South of Hurghada). The one thing I didn't think to look at yet was diving and temps... And I'm sad to see it's pretty cold then! :oops: Highs in the low 70s? Probably too...

Hi All, I don’t usually provide reviews like this, but I felt like I should take the time in this case because diving with PV Ocean Tours for two days was pretty amazing. I originally heard about them here on ScubaBoard. The short version: They provided the best overall dive experience that I...

Hi All, My buddy and I will probably only get one day of diving in while we're in Puerto Vallarta (first week of June). We're staying at the Hard Rock Vallarta, and we each have 100+ dives logged. Any suggestions for great dive sites there? And who to go with that's reasonable and would take us...

Hi All, I have a trip to Palau booked with my girlfriend (non-diver). We'll be there 5 nights in the middle of July. I've discovered it's pretty damn expensive there! To stay and to dive as well. Anyway, I've searched a bit for lodging and reached out to several dive ops (only heard back from...

Hi All, First off, not sure what happened to my RX100 M2, but it works for awhile, then completely quits focusing, adjusting white balance, etc. I guess I should ask - is it worth trying to get repaired? Anyway, I'm trying to be frugal (reasonably priced camera and housing - the basic plastic...

Hi All, a lot of corals fluoresce brightly under a blue light and look amazing (I have a blue LED light I use in my aquarium often for fun). Does any body know of a dive light that has multiple colors (primarily blue - although red would be nice too because my understanding is red light...

Hi All, I recently purchased a TrustFire TR-J2 (haven't dove with it yet) and I think it's a pretty narrow beam light. Anyway, I'd like to have two lights (so I have a backup), and I'd like to get one that's more wide angle. Here are a few that I've found. The list may be helpful to some of...

Hi All, I've done about 80 dives but buying my first set of gear. I'll likely only own one wetsuit (at least for now), so what would you recommend? A shorty, full, or maybe long sleeves / shorts? Would 3mm be best? I'd also like something as compact / lightweight as possible for travel as I...

Hi All, I'm finally getting my first set of dive gear after about 80 dives. I live in Kansas City, MO, so the only diving I do is when I travel - typically 2-3 trips per year. I just do recreational diving in the tropics, but I may dive cold water some day (but definitely would be a rare thing)...

Hi All, It's my first post about gear! I've done about 80 dives but never owned gear other than the snorkel gear. Although I'm torn about getting my own (I think it costs more in the long run with checked luggage and servicing the gear), I'm ready to go ahead anyway. :) I live in Kansas...

Hi All, I'm going on a cruise in late June and hitting all these stops. I dive, but my wife doesn't, so I usually only get to dive one spot, maybe two if I'm luckly :( Which of these islands offer the best scuba diving (and preferably not too far from the cruise port)? St. Thomas St...

Hi All, I'm going to be staying in Manuel Antonio (near Quepos) July 21-27 and I could dive on the 22nd - 26th. The diving in the immediate area doesn't sound interesting to me mainly b/c of the low viz this time of year, but I would love to get to Cano Island or perhaps Catalina Islands...

Hi All, My wife doesn't dive but likes to snorkel, and I like to snorkel when I can't dive (while laying at the beach). Does anyone know if there's a good resort in Grand Cayman that actually has decent snorkeling from the beach? Reef Resort looks like it might, but I have no idea if it's any...

Hi All, Been diving for a little while, first post here... I'll be staying in Puerto Aventuras (Aventura Palace resort), but I'll only have time for one dive (wife factor) July 17-20. I'd prefer to stay close by, but if Cozumel is significantly better diving, I could take the time / $ to...
