    Probably the most popular and best are Turtle reef (aka Macabuca), Lighthouse point (aka Dive Tech shop). Also Eden rock, Sunset house and Don Fosters.

    Trip Report Cruise ship shore dive 3/28/22 Eden rock dive center

    I’m frugal, I take the 🚌. Take mesh bag with gear and towels for the seat. A few times I’ve had locals see us poors and offer us a ride into town from LHP or Macabuca.

    Trip Report Cruise ship shore dive 3/28/22 Eden rock dive center

    Eden rock dive centre is great although Macabuca and Lighthouse point seem to get most of the attention. We’ve seen squadrons of squid up close, octopi as well as all you’ve mentioned. It’s a must do dive when I am there.

    Question Best location for diving with non-diving spouse

    Grace bay, Providenciales or Seven mile beach area of Grand Cayman. Both have great diving (Providenciales involves a longer day for diver due to boat rides, Grand Cayman you can be back by 11:30). Both have arguably the best beaches in the northern hemisphere if not the world, lots of shopping...

    New dive watch - computer?

    Watched a couple of youtube videos … it is a slick looking piece of tech. Makes the new Apple ultra look like a toy.

    New dive watch - computer?

    Huaway has been accused of having a role in corporate espionage in bringing down a giant Canuck telecom, Nortel. And with concerns of their 5G security I’ll never buy a Huaway product.

    Moving Zeagle trim pockets to upper band

    Oh I forgot to mention I use a couple of zip ties (they are black and hard to see) to keep the pouches tucked in close and not moving around on the band. They go through the triglide and around the webbing on the back of the BCD.

    Moving Zeagle trim pockets to upper band

    I use a Zeagle scout with standard lower weight pockets. I moved them to the top band using triglides on the webbing.

    Headlamp for lobstering

    I have a couple of these… cheap and they work great. They attach to mask strap or throw into a BC pocket as a backup. https://www.uwkdive.com/products/mini-q40-mk2

    New diver, looking at Suunto D5

    I’d like to lower mine on a line for a couple of hours, bring it straight up to the surface then try a repeat “dive” after a short period and see what it does.

    New diver, looking at Suunto D5

    I think of the Descent G1 as a smart watch with dive computer add on with lots of features and functions. They may be useful for you. The Teric is a dedicated top shelf dive computer that you can wear as a watch with the best display in the business. For watch style Mares has the new Sirius...

    New diver, looking at Suunto D5

    So … blow off a required deco stop, acknowledge all of the warnings. The computer display would then show a normal display and allow a dive, rightly or wrongly? I guess one could argue that in the hands of a diver not knowing what they are doing this “hands off” functionality could be hazardous.

    New diver, looking at Suunto D5

    So it is documented they Suunto will lock up the computer for a missed required decompression. In the case of Shearwater according to the manual, a missed deco stop gives a yellow MISSED DECO warning during and after the dive and will flash the stop depth and time in red as long as you are...

    New diver, looking at Suunto D5

    I had two Suuntos, Zoop (still have) and a Vyper II (sold). No issues or problems. Thousands of dive pros use Suunto for one to two dives for work daily. I bought a Perdix AI because a deal came along too good to pass up. It has a bright, colour display, extremely good data layout, excellent...

    Discovery dives and diving

    I had a friend do a DSD in the Caribbean on a popular island. No swim test needed. It went sideways from there. It was one on one instructor to student with me (certified) as a tag a long. I was “instructed” not to touch the diver or offer any assistance, e.g BCD … fair enough I would not...
