Agreed. The only time an AA flight attendant smiles is when they see something funny on their smartphone.

I'm guessing that the yellow frogfish on the purple tube sponge which appears at 1:25 of the video might be the one we saw at Bari Reef. We found it at 40' depth in early September heading south from the Sand Dollar pier. For all I know it's still there. Happy hunting !!!

I don't believe that Medicaid or Medicare will cover you for anything outside the USA -- so you're probably good as long as you stay local as you've stated.

Perhaps they've just given up trying to manage an unmanageable situation.

Last December my son and I did a day trip with these folks -- who are south of Cairns. The boat accommodates divers and snorkelers on the same trip with a nice meal in-between dives/snorks(?) Reefs (all shallow and surrounded by sand) were okay. About as good as anything you'll see on a day...

Thanks for that precise answer. With the "dumpster" of information out there in Google-land, I was finding it nearly impossible to nail down a single product that checked all the boxes. The fact that it is available in non-liquid form makes it perfect for international travel. I just ordered a...

We arrived for boarding at 1930 on July 30, 2023. The first thing they had everybody do is disinfect their gear in large tubs. A precautionary step not to bring any infectious diseases to the corals out at the Flower Gardens. Do you know what was used for disinfectant? I'm going to Bonaire next...

Been on this with my non-diving, but snorkeling better half. If it fits your price range, you can't go wrong. Very accommodating to non-divers. https://allstarliveaboards.com/aqua-cat-liveaboard-diving/

I was also on the SOF last November and, as someone who has been on at least 10 other liveaboards, the "Fin" thing was a new experience for me as well. After a few dives I realized the logic behind it since it got us all into the water a LOT faster than if everyone had to put on their own at...

Specifically for folks on Medicare. Affordable. I've had it for 2 years now, but no claims filed. GlobeHopper Senior Travel Medical Insurance - IMG

Been to both Volivoli and Taveuni Island's Rainbow Reef. Week at each. I agree with previous posters. By all means go to Taveuni if you can. At Volivoli, the best diving was where the Naii spent a couple of days anchored in the protected waters - which were a good 45 min boat ride from the...

This is good for medical. The multi-trip is good for 12 months and is relatively inexpensive. GlobeHopper Senior Travel Medical Insurance - IMG

Yeah - I avoid clams for the same reason.:)

I have to chime in here as well. I've been a Dive Friends fan as a result of multiple trips to Bonaire prior to our 6-week stay in February. There is an older woman at the Yellow Sub location who I assume is the Manager who has absolutely no people skills whatsoever. Prior to retirement, my wife...

Here's a photo of the sub escape tank that the Navy uses. 60' deep. Training is voluntary and participants can drop out without penalty at any time.

Google: "Van Den Tweel" and pull it up on the map. You will also see "Warehouse Bonaire" and "Bon Di Gro" along the same road: Kaya Industria". EU standards items in the first, local produce (from So. America nearby) in the second and more of the same in the 3rd. Anything you can find in the US...

Wife and I (both divers) saw it last Thursday in 3-D IMAX. Closest thing to diving without getting wet. It's a long: 3hrs, 10 min run time. First third is in the forest and sets-up the story line. Once they get to the tropics, it becomes almost magical. Do your best not to get hung up on the...

Just flew down and back to Cabo from Phoenix for a few days. Only had to fill out the Customs Declaration coming into Mexico which was passed out on board before landing -- one for each family group. No other paperwork or tiny cards that can get lost while you're in the Country. Yay !!!

In defense of Gopbroek, I'm sure that's exactly what he saw thru the camera lens after his third Margarita !!!
