    Does Luggage Usually Make It Between Cayman Brac and Little Cayman?

    I would worry ONLY if the airline is Cayman Airways. Then I would worry not only about your luggage, but I would worry about your reservations, your flights being on time, and making connections. If a Cayman Airways flight is delayed, and you miss a connection onto a subsequent Cayman Airways...

    Airtravel

    It's also the intangibles. During a layover, I can lay back and rest in a big comfortable chair in a quiet uncrowded lounge, with all the food and drink I want just steps away. Versus sitting an uncomfortable chair by the gate with all the noise of overhead announcements, reflected sound...

    Airtravel

    Recently I started flying business class. I can check two 70-pound bags for free, there's always more overhead space than I can use. I can sleep lying flat. On layovers I can use the airline lounges, where I get free showers, free food, and free beer. It's totally worth the extra ticket cost for...

    Question Fins opinion

    Friends don't let friends buy anything OMS. Get fins that permit a wide variety of finning techniques. That excludes free-diving fins, force fins, split fins, etc. Get a classic paddle fin with a spring heel. GoSport fins are lightweight and are fine for warm-water single-tank wetsuit diving...

    Teric owners, have you required repair or replacement service?

    I bought a Teric last year. Took it on some trips, had no problems at all. Last time I used it (October 2023), I charged it to 100% before putting it away. Every couple of months I have been putting it on the charger for a couple of hours. I just pulled it out again. The battery is about 30%...

    Oily tanks

    Dawn dish soap is used for cleaning cylinders to oxygen-clean standards. For air (not Nitrox) you can use any dishwashing soap.

    Buying my first set of fins. Which one?

    I have been using the GoSport for travel because of their light weight. Great fin for travel and warm water single-tank diving. But these fins are a bit too floppy for back kicking, and they're weak in strong current.

    What dive sites should I visit in Belize

    Blue Hole is over-rated. It's crowded with new divers, who kick up a lot sand in the shallows. Down in the blue hole it's like a snow storm as the sand filters down, can't see much.

    Underwater Photography Gear (Beginner)

    Congrats! Did you pay the dive masters? Keep in mind that dive masters work for money, and they're inclined to tell their clients how great they are doing to keep their customers happy and motivated -- regardless of how well or poorly they are really doing. I'm not saying that this applies to...
