    St. Croix: The Good, The Bad, The Fugly

    I have a special love for St. Thomas. The diving is probably better on GC. It certainly was years ago. Clean and safe during the day maybe (St T)

    St. Croix: The Good, The Bad, The Fugly

    Tortola is superior, day trip or do a night on St Peters Island I was based in St. Thomas for eight years (air ambulance) When I first go there there was no neurosurgeon so tourists on mopeds that busted their heads would be brain dead in a couple days unless they had the ten thousand bucks to...

    Whether it is diving, flying, ice climbing, or horses, etc, do it with people who share your risk aversiveness or you will be unhappy. This is what makes buddy diving with assigned strangers problematic for many divers. I know this woman here who just had a baby and she was going base jumping...

    Considering Hanging it up...but...what to do after scuba??

    Now we are in to Overlanding, I like it more than I expected. Italian Alps. The PNW is great for that. Also you can ferry up to BC so easily. Take the ferry up the Inside Passage, etc. Everyone should do that at least once.

    We used to spend the weekends in the RV at the California Speedway, I only warmed the tires ;) My husband loves it (more than kayaking ha ha)

    I vote kayaking because of your location but you need a fast lightweight boat that is easy to load. Also I second photography and maybe get a drone.

    Things I've learned along the way

    Kimela, we have found that the backpack is an acceptable personal item and I put my small purse inside. How does Roger go without checked bags if he has camera equipment and strobes? JB likes this carry on

    Seeing clearly underwater with just mask no contacts?

    Once you are good at clearing your mask (just enough water to clear the glass, holding your down head level) you can easily dive with contacts. I use one daily for reading my gauges and I’ve never lost it. I also defog this way because I like moving the seal on my face a few times during a dive.
