    Grenada Report

    topside Grenada is, well, different. Left side driving with right hand steering, well, I have been there and done that. In Grenada driving laws are very much a suggestion. Drive on the left, unless you need to be on the right or the middle. Then that's OK. No Parking Zone? Well, if you...

    Grenada Report

    We did 21 dives but only saw a couple of significant wrecks. Bianca C is neat, but deep. Was only there a few minutes. Other wrecks were small boats you could find in a lake. Frankly I like the wrecks in Nassau better, and saw more of them. Reef diving was OK. Not Bonaire, but better than...

    Grenada Report

    Immigration and customs was a nightmare. 3 planes landed within minutes. It took hours to make it through the process. Immigration Officers had A/C. The Immigration lines did not. It was hot. We stayed at the Gem on the south side of the island. Modest but clean, attentive, and no...

    Bonaire Trip Report

    We stayed at Happy Holiday Homes and as usual everything there was in in order. This was our 4th trip to Bonaire. Cruise ships have definitely changed the Island over the past years. Bonaire 15 years ago is nothing like Bonaire today. Heck, it has changed a lot in 5 years. Diving was...

    Knowing when to call a dive

    always better to call a dive than to make a dive if there is ANY doubt. Good job young lady!

    Need some help with a depth and time

    I cant imagine that time at depth would matter. For example, submarines are rated for an operating depth and a crush depth. The submarine can operate at operating depth for a virtual indefinite period of time. So, if your housing will survive 300fsw for 30 minutes, I would guess it will...

    Aquarena low flow conditions

    Shawn, it was good seeing you again. I took some photos at deep hole a week ago or so. Got a decent shot of a large turtle. I wondered about cleaning the underwater housing, so thanks for the information. I may head out again Saturday morning. The flow is terrible, vis is reduced, but I...

    Aquarena low flow conditions

    I hit this springs this morning. We were restricted to the arch site and deep hole. We had the springs to ourselves. Vis was not as good a usual and the bottom still has the brown algae growth. I have recently moved to San Antonio, so maybe I will be able to hook up with Shawn and you others...

    Solo diving

    I have dove solo, but I don't necessarily prefer a buddy, I just usually always have one since my entire family dives. The way I have observed some buddies dive, they both are essentially solo. I have wondered sometimes, given this observation, if we would not be better off teaching solo...

    Water Level at Barstows (Travis)

    I was Ouachita two weeks ago. Water level was plenty high, but vis was 2-3 feet. Vis was great below 60 feet, if you had a dry suit and double 104's ;)

    X-vision Liquid Skin??

    I would say clean the new mask well with a non abrasive detergent, warm water, and a non abrasive cloth. I use baby shampoo on my mares lenses as an anti-fog agent. It beats anything I have tried including everything commercial and spit. Sometimes I just finger baby shampoo on the lens, jump...

    Is it necessary to get annual reg service?

    If it ain't broke don't fix it. Store it in a good location and rinse/flush it after dives. For $150 I would buy a new one. Regulators are simple devices. Not as simple as a hammer, but simple none the less. How much preventive maintenance do you do to your hammer? Do at least twice that...

    I bought some dive gear at the carib inn dive center. nice people and great service. they even had a battery for my computer and swapped it out for me. I did not stay there but it is close to downtown; town pier is not far. I am not sure about not having a vehicle as driving to sites is the...
