Kdac,
Four of us booked a 10-day trip on the Indo Siren Jul 6-16 to Komodo National Park. We fly into Bali on Jul-5 and then take a domestic flight to Bima on Jul-6 where we will meet the boat. I'm holding 1 cabin for 2 other friends, but it's likely they will pass. I need to give up the hold...
I wear a pair of dive socks. Not only does the wetsuit slide on instantly, so too do my boots. The socks also help my feet from rubbing on the boots and after a week on a liveaboard it's a godsend. Depending on how tight your arm seals are use a second pair of sock on your hands (works just like...
The bar called Ozone on the 103rd floor of the Ritz is amazing. Trying to book a trip on the Dewi, but it tough as boats are filled at key times a few years out.
I was on this trip 3 or 4 years back the week before xmas. We did make the crossing and dove all three islands, but I will say it was a rough crossing. Didn't bother me (I actually enjoy the rough seas, but I did take Dramamine). However, many others had a real tough time with sea sickness. I do...
While the Carib story scares the crap out if me and too would avoid it, I recommend you go book your Cayman trip. I've been diving Aggressor/Dancer (Cayman, Belize, Utila) and Explorer (Bahamas and Galapagos) for several years without any issues. In fact I just booked the Sun Dancer-Belize for...
Off to St Croix next week staying at Carambola on the north shore and diving with Cane Bay. We are a family of 5 divers (3 kids ages 14-20) and will have one 20 yo non-diver. Any recommendations for casual dining/places to hang after diving and non-diving activities? Recommendations for...
Off to St. Croix on Aug-4 for a week of diving with a family of six. Staying at Carambola on the north shore and diving with Cane Bay. Hope to meet some scubaboard buds.

I'll be arriving in Cabo the day before I depart on the Nautilus Explorer. Any restaurant recommendations? Any recommendations for a place to hang out after dinner? I'll be staying within walking distance of the marina.
Thanks//Russ
@Pjhansmam- Outstanding. I also dive 10 lbs in a 3 mm full and was going to add 4 lbs for the 5mm. Thanks for the confirmation (or at least a starting point).
Been diving a 3mm Henderson Thermoprene suit with 10 lbs in the Caribbean. Moving to a 5mm Henderson Thermoprene suit for a Socorro trip and was wondering how much additional weight it consider adding? Advise greatly appreciated.
Thanks//Russ
Was able to grab a spot on the Nautilus for the last Socorro trip of the season. This is a combined 11-day Socorro and Sea of Cortez trip departing Jun-24. What is the expected water temp in the 2 locations and what would be your wetsuit recommendation?
Thanks friends.
Thanks all.
Chinacat46 I took your advice and booked an 11 day trip to Socorro on the Nautilus Explorer the last week of June. I'll aim for 2013 for RA and Maldives. I need to do a lot more research before heading off to Indonesia.
Considering a liveaboard this Dec to either Maldives or Raja Ampat. The Maldives liveaboards have many many available cabins whereas most of the Raja boats, that cost a few thousand more, are fully booked Any opinions why? I have no issue with the higher cost fro Raja, but finding space for...
My vote would be Grand Cayman. Very easy diving and very healthy reefs. While I too would recommend Cobalt Coast, your cruise would likely arrange for ops much closer to where the ship docks. Not an issue. As a new diver Coz could be a challenge due to drift diving conditions. I love Belize and...
