Thanks everyone for your comments! I'll be diving in upper 70s water (Indonesia). If I were diving here in Nor Cal I'd have to go dry suit! I seem to run cold. Lots of good advice. I may go for a vest/hood combo 3/5. I have a 5 mil Henderson and that would easily fit underneath. I like the...

I'm thinking of getting a skin or 1 mil to wear under my 5 mil. I run cold, and even with a hood, I can still get cold... Does anyone have any experience with layering? I see lycra and 1 mil options. Just wondering if anyone has had any good experiences or recommendations to share. Thank...

We had a great time too! I can't wait to see your pics!

Hi Andrea! It is greener here - it's the rainy season as I understand it though it hasn't really rained all that much (a quick downpour and it's done). Do bring mosquito spray - they are out and vicious! As long as we keep sprayed we're fine... I met Stan on a dive at Porto Marie with...

I'm a bit stumped over something we saw recently so I thought I'd post here and see if a wise diver can help identify it! This was seen on the west end of Curacao at about 50 feet. It was free floating in the water.

Hi Bees! It's the 24 pounders :D I can't wait to see you! We've seen 3 sea horses since we've been here and are currently searching for a "pea" - I hope we find one soon! We're having such a great time!! To the posters asking about jogging - we're staying in Westpunt and I've been jogging...

Thanks everyone!

I'm looking for a 5mm wetsuit that's stretchy. I tried on a friend's Henderson and it was very comfortable so I'm thinking of going with the H2. I'd like something that will wear well over time and I'm not familiar with other stretch-type suits. I have a scubapro from several years ago that...

Thank you Howard!

We have Seaquest BCDs and Aqualung regulators.

We are in Fort Lauderdale for several weeks and need to get our dive equipment (regs and bcds) serviced. Can anyone recommend a dive shop? Thanks! Steph

Like another poster - John512 - I'm pretty new to diving and appreciate posts such as this. Great lessons to be learned. Thanks!

Wow - great shots - they're beautiful fish!! Thank you for posting them!

I sent an inquiry re availability for November back in Feb/March via email and never heard back. We changed plans so I never tried again...

I was surprised to hear people say that PADI didn't have any swim requirements. We certified last year and had to swim and float. Looked it up and found: quote: Waterskills: Before completing the PADI Open Water Diver course, your instructor will have you demonstrate basic waterskill...

Hi UBB! I just PM'd Gtoph. The airfare is outrageous right now, I don't know if November will work. But we Will return and I'd love to plan a trip with you guys!! Steph

Hello, it's the 24 pounders ;) Lucky has her name painted on all ready but hey - we just got a tender - we could name it! I'll have to look again at fares...you found a really good price. Andreas - keep us posted on the turkey tasting :)

Hey there UBB - 4&1/2 months to prepare?! Are you making headway on the plans to head back in November??? I checked on fares and yikes, they've gone up since April... But Mart hasn't said that he Doesn't want to go back. And now I could try to entice him with David's Turkey!

Hmmmm.... Let me know if you guys decide to head back - maybe I could talk Martin into another 2008 dive trip :D

We've just returned from 10 days in Curacao – it was a perfect vacation :) We stayed in Westpunt. As a couple who both dive and weren’t as interested in non-diving activities, we preferred the west end (we stayed near Willemstad our last trip there). I had been worried that it would be...
