Bas and VIP Divers always gets rave reviews on Scubaboard. My dive buddy and I went to Bonaire in 2007 with 16 dives after our certification and we had no issues with shore diving. Sometimes the exit is not very pretty, it is ok to crawl out on your hands and knees. We love shore...

It will depend on how you are planning to use it. It should protect your camera in a wet environment but personally I would not use it in the water.

Thanks, glad to hear it is not too bad. Hope it clears up for all that are already on the island. Sounds like I should plan to bring lots of bug spray.

Hi All, My dive buddy and I will be visiting Nov 10 -17 and staying at the Sand Dollar. Has Tomas caused and issues? How is the visibility? We are so excited to be coming back to Bonaire. Our last time to the island was in 2007. Thanks, jb

My wife and I stayed at Scuba Lodge in September 2009. It was a cool little Euro ocean front hotel run by a Dutch couple. Located pretty central in the old part of Willemstad. We enjoyed it.

Hi, How old is your Air?

I have 75 dives on a Mares Dragon. It is a robust design although some problems have occurred with the weight pockets. I had a broken clip that prevented the weight pocket from being removed. Did not cause a problem but if it had been an emergency.... It is a trim design and has plenty of...

Hi Tom1, I guess I had not thought about the durability question.... I am used to diving with my Mares Dragon and it has been very robust no matter what I have thrown at it so far. Sorry for your misfortune on the BC, but thanks for your inputs.

Hi, Not a dumb question. Weight integrated BCs have pockets to put weights in. They do not have weights built in - just the pockets to put weights into. This allows you to not have a weight belt - you use the same weights but in the pockets.

Hi Gang, So stability is good. Are people using this for shoring diving and boat diving? What about a giant stride off a 10 foot cliff - like Oil Slick Leap in Bonaire? Any issues? My dive buddy is nervous about having the tank hitting her in the head and knocking her unconscious. Thanks again.

Hi All, It seems for the most part the Zuma is getting good reviews and comments. I am wondering how well the BC works in less than ideal conditions such as currents or surge. I heard from a LDS the BC shifted quite a bit in heavy currents. More comments on the Zuma please. I like what it...

Our last dives were on Wednesday and as I understand, the vis started improving on Friday. Frederiksted is a cool funky place. Christiansted seemed a bit more upscale with more activities. The west side was our style.

My dive buddy and I finished up a wonderful trip to St Croix to celebrate our 30th anniversary. We were on the island July 8th through July 15th,2010. Travel was uneventful. We flew Dallas to Miami to St Croix all on AA and reverse order on the way home. The only surprise is having to go...

Ok, the GF1 and 10Bar housing have been out for quite a while. I am interested to know how users feel about the 10Bar housing. Does it meet your desires? Is it easy to use? What would you change? Would you recommend it? What ports are you using? Anyone just using the 20mm with wet lenses...

Hi jd950, Thanks for the comment. What are you using for your GF1? jb Hi jd950, Nevermind, I saw from your postings on Panasonic Planet you are using the Seatool housing. Looks nice. jb

Hi jd950, I was not looking to create another debate about Oly vs Panny cameras. I have typically preferred the images out of the GF1 and I was amazed at the IQ that Jack had in his post with the E-PL1 with the 9-18. Just a personal preference.... however those images have me reconsidering my...

Thanks, those are some of the best E-PL1 photos I have seen. I seem to lean more to the Pany GF1 images. Would you expect any real IQ differences with the Oly case? jb

Hi Jack, Could you outline the entire rig you used in these shots? Thanks!

I have a YS-27 and it has a mode knob that controls the flash setting. It is the power off switch and then has two modes for controlling the flash. One position is used for a camera that does not have pre-flash and the other is for cameras that do have a pre-flash. Good luck.

Hi All, I am traveling on business and had a chance to look at both the 90 and the 11 and it seemed to me the 11 has a better native macro capability. This was just playing with the cameras in Yodabashi camera but based on this I would prefer the G11. Other opinions???
