The flight out of SFO was about $550 and the stay for 1 week in Cayos was $600, pretty much inclusive of food 3x a day (excellent, too), diving rental and three tanks a day air, boat out to wherever we wanted to dive and nice cabins with a downstairs with stone floor (nice when your all sandy...

...where the naked scuba pix are, pls post the url here or start your own thread. This is important after all. :D Terry

42 degrees north, 123 west. Terry

...all those milk jugs! Don't forget to keep the lid! :D Terry

:D Man! That is a bunch of sharks! Thanks for the cool pic! Terry

...especially off season like you're doing. We were in Roatan in April and I highly recommend Bite On The Beach between West Bay and West End, if you get the chance to go over to the main island for dinner. Have a great trip! Terry

Mario, I know those guys (the web crackers) mean well, but complete information is central to democracy, as I'm sure I don't have to tell you or anyone. I was trying just after the attack to find some other news source, *any* other news source from within Afghanistan and the links had all...

The basics: "On Tuesday morning July 24 at 3 AM a tragic fire consumed the Utila Hyperbaric Chamber and Trauma Center and also the Bay Island College of Diving . Both of these facilities were located on the Island of Utila in the Bay Islands of Honduras and were completely destroyed."...

Thanks, I'd love to photograph pinipeds, myself - any details on the photography? Terry

...in addition to or in contrast to airplane security. I've heard conflicting information on what's allowed in the airport post-WTC - specifically box-cutters, but dive knives can't be any better. Even wandering the concourse with one while you wait to check in may be regarded as a threat...

What would you be practicing, blind navigation, night navigation w/o a light? :D Terry

Thanks, Hocky! We're gonna need all the help we can get. Let's hope the end result is a better world. Terry

...and I WISH it had just a teeny bit more automation on board - like a led with frame counter showing rewind, battery state, etc. Had pretty good luck with it other than my poor U/W photography technique. I wish also they'd use the newer lithium batteries. But barring any changes from...

Man! I'm glad to talk about anything but you know what... I thought the nav part of AOW was the best part. The natural navigation over a billion pieces of salt grass on the bottom with no distinguishable features other than more and more green blades, all about 8 inches long left me (on the...

...nothing to add, but to shake my head that this horrific catastrophe could and did happen - utter, complete loss. My tears and heart go out to those lost and those of us who are still here. Terry

A while back there was a discussion on the topic of concentrated training, like at a resort, vs. slow and easy, get-in-the-pool, get wet, here's BCD, this is a first stage and here's and octopus kind of approach. We've just finished the former - 10 days and BOW + AOW. It was definitely...

Lildiver, You can check out the trip report in the Central/South American forum. Comments are invited, but the CA branch seems to be undervisited. Or maybe my report was more boring that I thought. :bonk: We had a great, if quiet in the evenings time. Excellent diving and just Chris and I...

Sea Monkey, Great picture of the moray! The sea turtle is excellent, too and I'm envious of your abillity to identify sea life. You got a book? General question - how does adding a strobe cut down on back splatter if the film is the same and the exposure's the same? Terry

Woohoo! At last report our 60 year old newbie diver and his hotshot 25 year old son were about ready to venture off, in the face of tropical storm Chantal, to Central America in search of scuba BOW certs. Now the trip is over, the log book is filled out - sort of anyway. Story continues...

...is to reduce weight - like TexasMike says. Our DM suggested I take off 2 of the 12 lbs I had on and boy, did that make a difference! No more constant fiddling around with the BC. Jump in the water with the teeniest bit of air in it and that was it for the dive. Ocassionally a little in or...
