    Can anyone recommend a site to get the UW housing for the A75 at a good price?

    Devil Boas of Cozumel

    That might explain the unusual meat dish at the buffet last week that had no name with it. :eyebrow:

    Is the Aeris Atmos 2 being phased out for replacement?

    Does anyone know if the Aeris Atmos 2 is being phased out and Aeris will be replacing it with a new model or line up soon?

    Shore diving on Virgin Gorda?

    Can anyone provide any insight on the shore diving on Virgin Gorda? I recognize that the shore diving on VG is probably limited and I don't expect it to be Bonaire quality but I'm looking to find out if there are any decent locations on the island to do a shore dive or two on days when we don't...

    Advice: dive op. in Grand Cayman?

    Deanna, that is my mistake. Sorry for any confusion. In retrospect, I definately could have worded that much better. Perhaps I should have phrased it as "if looking for an operation that caters to smaller groups", then look at those. Deanna and Giles have a lovely nice size boat that could...

    Advice: dive op. in Grand Cayman?

    It depends on what you're looking for but a couple good ones that come to mind are: For smaller boats: Neptune Divers Wall to Wall Diving Red Baron Off the Wall For slighter larger boats: Dive Tech Good luck and have lots of fun. ;)

    Any feedback on Tortola hotels

    Christi, If you're still looking for information, you might take a look at the forum at www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=bvi I found and received helpful information from the posters on that board during the planning stages of an upcoming 2 week trip to Virgin Gorda.

    Curious question: Intentional deco dives in Coz?

    I'm curious. I'd like to hear how often people have been on a dive boat in Coz and the DM wanted to take the group on a dive that would intentionally put them into deco requiring deco stops, etc.?

    Atomic M1 vs B2

    I think whether you go with the M1 or B2 really depends on what type of diving you plan to do. They're both great regs but intended for different applications. I own the B2 and really like it. I haven't had a chance to breath the M1 but I would expect them to breath nearly the same, if not...

    Buying gear in Cozumel?

    If in Dallas, the one shop that Sharky60 forgot to mention as having good prices and great service is Scuba Toys. (www.scubatoys.com)

    New here - Need a reasonably priced trip in March

    As Tim suggests, Cozumel is an excellent choice from DFW. Easy 2 1/2 hour flight. Much more subdued spring break crowd that time of the year. Most importantly, the diving is out of this world. My experience has been that you'll find the best prices from DFW to COZ via...

    Sinking BCD

    Did the BC have any (substantial amount) water in the bladder? If so, that would restrict the lift capacity.

    Cozumel Diving

    Here's a good website to take a look at: http://travelnotes.cc/reviews/view_review.php?location_id=&location_name=&cat_id=5&cat_name=Dive%20Shops&ratings_val=15,17,7 It has lots of reviews of the many dive ops in Cozumel. My personal favorites are Liquid Blue followed by Blue XT.

    Full service dive operators?

    Liquid Blue is another full service dive operation and an excellent one at that.

    looking for family vacation spot

    Given the children in the vacation equation, you might try Beaches resort in the Turks & Caicos Islands. Not sure what the T&Cs have to offer regarding fly fishing. The resort is a very nice all-inclusive resort. I believe that is does have a resort course scuba program. The diving is very...

    Dive and travel insurance?

    For trip insurance, www.insuremytrip.com is a good web site offering quotes and comparison between policies. As noted in the previous post, DAN also now offers trip insurance. I remember reading somewhere that DAN's premium is about $65 per $1,000. I have not compared DAN's coverages to some...

    Need Input on GC dive

    Wall to Wall Diving is also a good choice for SRC. They have a boat at the Cayman Yacht Club that they use for SRC and North wall dives. Deanna and Giles run an excellent operation. www.walltowalldiving.com

    Air leak near pressure gauge - what to do?

    Thanks. I think this particular Cressi spg is made by the same source as the ScubaPro spg. I'll have to try that if the LDS will not resolve it. I couldn't imagine them not fixing it. If not, I'll give your suggestion a whirl.

    Don't leave home without it!

    In addition to all the previous suggestions, I always bring a small battery powered travel alarm clock. It seems like many hotels don't have alarm clocks and wake up calls can be undependable. Nothing worse than missing an early boat for diving because I didn't get a wake up call. Extra...
