That was my experience last year on Aggressor as well.. we did a couple days diving around GC and once we made the crossing it was like someone flipped a switch.

That's why I always build in a couple or three days on the front end of a LOB trip. Gives me a chance to spend some time relaxing and sampling the local fare when things go right or, when they don't, a buffer to try like heck to get my bag before the boat leaves.

+1 on smart tags. Delta lost my bag and I knew it even before we backed up from the gate since my phone didn't show the bag being near me. I was able to walk past the carousel and straight to the baggage office and report it rather than wait in vain for it to appear. After a couple of phone...

I have a couple of different ones in addition to the large towel clips that I also use to hang stuff. One was built by my buddy Dan and is a loop of stainless steel leader with shark clips on it that you can hang over the top of a hanger with your wetsuit to dry other stuff (lycra socks...

No..it's not a thing. That said, we did a couple of hikes in Cocos so if you want to combine diving and land excursions maybe that's another option.

Yup...it's awful. I had never had anything like that that reduced me to popping pain pills, muscle relaxers, etc. applying heat and still being able to do nothing but roll around on the floor and groan in agony. Most of the other dumb stuff I have done to myself might have hurt like hell for a...

Nope, not exactly.. it happened when we were touring the ranger station. I was crossing that suspension bridge and all of a sudden my leg/butt area started killing me. Could be bouncing around on the gunwale of the pangas all week on my ass and then the bouncing/slamming motion on my...

No decent tips, but I messed up a disc (L5 S1) in Cocos last year and it ended up impinging the piriformis nerve that travels down my left cheek and leg. It was up there in the top 10 most painful life events that I can recall and the worst part is it maintained that level of pain for a few...

They prob make more on the camera tax scam than they do on the charters and pre/post-departure tourism.. :p

Not sure if you have discussed this with your oral surgeon yet, but there is quite a bit of spacing needed between those appointments/procedures (or at least there was in my case). I had the extraction and then I think it was a couple of months or so before I had the sinus lift. Once the sinus...

Not a medical expert - just a dude with a sinus lift and an implant. As with all things medical/dental each case is unique but I had an extraction, sinus lift and implant of #3 molar about 6 years ago or so and have done a bunch of diving since then with no problems. Like you, I was worried...

Update - 1 week later. Teric 1 Teric 2 100% 62% 82% 60% Teric 1 is losing 18% a week, Teric 2 is losing 2%. Both are always treated the same as far as storage, charging, etc.

Thanks for reminding me...I haven't updated the thread in a while. <charging Teric 1> <Teric 2 already charged> 100% on 10/30 80% on 11/6 88% on 11/6 60% on 11/13 86% on 11/13 50% on 11/20 84% on 11/13 40% on 11/27 82% on 11/27 32% on 12/4...

I have that same REI Big Haul bag in the 30" size, an Eagle Creek ORV Trunk (also 30") and an Osprey Farpoint 36 wheeled backpack (liters not inches). I usually bring either the REI OR the Eagle Creek as my checked bag and the Osprey as my carry on item. Like others posted upthread, my reasons...

Congrats! Another angle would be Soggy. I lost touch with him as well, but he was doing some admin work before we sold the site so he might have made a backup at some point.

La Jolla - San Diego

Wow, there's a blast from the past. Hope things are well, Matt. I can't remember where I dug that up, but I do not have a backup of the site anywhere. My guess is that Rax or Spectre would, but I lost touch with both of them years ago.

Cocos is another good example.
