Cat Ppalu, AquaCat and Blackbeards Sailboat Cruises are all run by the same company - all depart from the same marina in Nassau and all generally dive the same sites. Blackbeard's three sailboats are the least expensive, and the most "rustic" - if you are looking for lots of dives and the most...

Before my first trip to Bonaire, a friend who had been many times asked if I had hard-soled booties. I hadn't even been aware that such a thing existed, since all my diving had been boat dives up to that point. I trusted their suggestion, and bought a pair of Akona's before my departure. SO...

We were diving with Conch Republic out of Tavernier Creek Marina at the time of the incident and heard a slightly different story from one of the paramedics who was still on the scene when we arrived a few minutes after the victim was transported. Police, paramedics and the coast guard were...

Just wanted to add my voice to the thread - I like that it is so easy to decide if you want an audible alarm for various things and that I can turn them on or off, as desired. BUT - there are a couple of alarms that I like to have set on mine - and I like for them to be audible. Truth is - I...

Thanks for the helpful suggestions and great comments. Looking forward to getting started with it...

I'm a single diver considering this trip. It would be preferable to have a roommate to share a room and get the double occy rate - I've been to Bonaire before and can't imagine not having a truck, so if you are interested in sharing a truck, even better. You could have a good time in Bonaire...

I bought a Canon G12 last summer with the intention of using it underwater. I just ordered the Ikelite housing, and a DS51 strobe with the TTL cable and arm. I've never used an external strobe with an underwater camera before and it has been years since I last used my old Nikon 35mm with a...

I just got a new Cobalt and am diving the keys tomorrow. I can't get the battery to charge completely. It is connected correctly to a/c power, but it stops charging before 100%. Initially it stopped at 38% - I disconnected the charger then reconnected it. It charged to 46% then the display...

I was preparing to drive from the Atlanta area to North Florida for the long holiday weekend to get in a few freshwater dives in the clear springs and caverns, but I discovered that due to flooding on the Santa Fe River caused by TS Debby, all water activities at Ginnie Springs have been...

I already have a g12 but am looking for a housing and strobe set up. Pm if you are interested in working something out.

Do you know if this housing is compatible with the G12?

Funny I hadn't seen this discussion before - I wondered the same thing. I am very happy with the solution I came up with for what to wear under my wetsuit in warm climates... Nike dri-fit lined running shorts, like these: NikeStore. Shop the Official Nike Store for Shoes, Clothing & Gear...

Beautiful! Makes me want to be there again right now... Thanks for sharing!

This is sad and disturbing. What can be done if this is happening in a "protected sanctuary?" Shark massacre reported in Colombian waters | Environment | guardian.co.uk

First experience for me was terrible. I didn't know any better and decided on a whim to try the offered "resort course" at a Jamaican all-inclusive. There were communication problems (he wasn't a native speaker of English) and he was very cavalier and did not take time to help me really...

Tell me about the spectacular airfare deal you got... details, please! Always looking for a great deal to Bonaire!! That's the most expensive thing about going there - if you can get a deal on travel to there, you are going to get a lot of BANG for your greenbacks.

I have Cobalt envy.... These things are the bomb! Thank you, fdarden, for the report - I have played with the unit a couple of times in my LDS, but have been waiting to hear some feedback from people who actually bought and have been using it before plunking down hard cash for one. I hate...

Just because something is legal, that doesn't make it right - or ethical. There are lots of us who are doing our small part to try to raise awareness and sound the alarm to precipitous declines in the top predators in the marine ecosystem. When this happens, there is a phenomenon called a...

My opinion may be different than others but maybe that's a good reason to post it... I don't envision myself getting into serious technical diving - I'm very happy with Nitrox and an MOD of 111 fsw. I bought an air-integrated console computer initially (SmartCom from UWATEC/ScubaPro) and I...
