Cost should be about $35 each way. Clean (unmarked), pristine bills work best.

Did they arrange transportation from the cruise dock to West End and back for you? Some dive ops have their own transport or will make sure you're picked up from outside the terminal and returned on time (very important obviously!), while making sure that your dive time and experience is...

I'm a fan of Osprey bags, with an actual real warranty that they stand behind. I personally like their wheeled backpacks. Smooth surfaces I use the wheels, otherwise the backpack straps. If it's just a quick carry, then just the side or top carry handles. Wheeled backpacks...

My experience is with a TG-4 and Olympus housing, plus an Oly WA lens. Probably 75+ dives on the camera/housing which was bought in 2015, and traveled internationally every year except 19/20 (COVID). Still use the original O-rings with minimal grease/maintenance. Only problem I ever had was...

Med cruise out of Rome in November for our 30th anniversary. Don't think we'll plan on diving though.

Welcome! My wife's a Jersey girl, and her family are still there. We lived for 15 years just over the bridge from Philly. Her parents are down in Mays Landing area. Looking for gear? See the comment a few above for the link to the classifieds, and keep checking it often!

No idea about comparable to Villa Aldora, but know West End in Roatan pretty well. The folks at Seagrape are good. We have a place that is part of Cocolobo next door. There are two types of accommodation at Cocolobo, condos and lodges (ours is lodge D). Condos are all sea-facing and have a...

See above for good diving info. We (our family) have our fave op (Sun Divers), and some friends have others, lots of good options. For a place to stay outside of the AI/resorts, West End has lots of places. We have our own place at Cocolobo, lodge D specifically, and it's available for rent...

Also to one of the OP's questions between the devices - And from a company that is active on these boards, is responsive, and actively updates the firmware. There is a manual in the works, and I believe a forum member here is/has helped write it. The first manual, while far from being "good"...

Go with the Excursion. Great DC, great company with great support. I have one and I have a 2nd for my 17yr old. I will also get one for my 14yr old either this Christmas or next. Unless my eyesight makes using mine challenging enough that I switch to a Shearwater Peregrine, but hopefully...

Literary giants they are not, but for some easy downtime reading that are in the world of diving to differing degrees they're pretty good.

1" sensor, but don't change the size of the camera. And unicorn seahorse capability, LOL :yeahbaby:

If CCV isn't available, we have a lodge at Cocolobo that might be available. 5 minutes walk from West End. 2br/2ba with 1br having 2 separate beds. And it's a lot cheaper than 1600-2k per person, but only includes your place to stay. You can make your own meals or eat in town. There is a...

How deep can you go and still be able to text or have the GPS work? If you have full bars of service at the surface do you drop a bar every 10' or so? Just curious!! You can also use a dive light for additional lighting as opposed to a flash when taking pics with the iPh. I've seen a small...

For money, just bring clean green!

In camera charging is rarely conducive to battery life length. As others have already mentioned, and you've already surmised, buy a replacement battery and external charger and you should be good to go. I have a TG-4, but also XZ-1, E-500, and E-5. I have used Oly batteries and non-Oly...

Cocolobo is a great place to stay within walking distance of West End. Disclaimer, we're a part owner of one of the lodges! Breakfast is included and you're on your own for lunch & dinner. There's plenty of options at all price ranges in town. If you like to cook for yourselves then the...

Would this be (potentially) useful for search and retrieval in rivers? Rather than police divers going full SCUBA to look for weapons etc. they could potentially use something like this? Not for body retrievals or anything large that could require lift bags or become a snagging hazard, but...

I'm sure it's a fine light, but boy do I hate to see rechargeable batteries with the word "fire" on them!! o_O Is there a lockout on the switch to prevent accidentally turning it on?

Or if they are, do they dive on the right or the left? :yeahbaby: I'm an expat, been living stateside since finishing uni in the early nineties. Diving is warm water, mainly Caribbean
