What is a proper tip for the DM and boat captain for a 2 tank dive? My last 5 trips have been to Bonaire and I only did shore dives, so I am a bit out of touch. I usually tip at the end of the trip but do not want them to think I am a tightwad. Do you tip each day after the dive? My last...

Greetings, Am planning a trip there in Dec/ Jan and had a few questions about the dive outfit and hotel. I was there about 5 yrs ago and stayed at a hotel across from the Chedraui (it is now AI) and dove with Aldora. 1) I know for the most part the shore diving in Coz is not much to write home...

I currently dive with a Knighthawk BC and am using a Terkel 10w HID. I have been using my tank cam band to attach the cannister next to my tank. (upside down so I can reach the switch) I was wondering what other configurations people are using who dont dive a BP...? Thanks Drew

In addition to winning the Spyderco Salt knife here on the board,I am now the proud owner of a new Terkel Sollys 10w can light! ( I know should have got the 18 or 21) I got a super deal and could not pass it up-They are out of buisness I know, but are servicable and upgradeable by other...
