    Dancer Fleet

    We were on the boat in January, but up front. I don't seem to recall the door slamming; no complaints from the couples in the room in any event. HOWEVER there did seem to be some issue with smell wafting up through the marine toilet on one of the staterooms on the starboard side. So I'd take...

    Blue Water versus Fresh Water Diving

    Fixxer, I did the AOW course through UT Austin. We dove off that park by Mansfield Dam. Took it in the fall, so every weekend it would be a little bit colder going out. Grew to dread it, so much so that it put me right off diving for a couple of years. I had done a grand total of seven dives...

    Blue Water versus Fresh Water Diving

    Let me play Devil's Advocate here... I didn't find the experience of a dozen lake dives helped my buoyancy control one bit. What helped the most was a blue water live aboard where I did nothing but dive for several days in a row. Frankly, I was too miserable in Lake Travis to be able to...

    Blue Water versus Fresh Water Diving

    I'm wondering what value people think fresh water diving experience has for blue water diving? I did an AOW course in Lake Travis, Austin after leaning to dive in Ningaloo, WA, and it was one of the most depressing experiences of my life. No vis, nothing to see, cold, etc. What is the...

    Advice on Fitting a Bare Wetsuit

    I'm a bit torn which size Bare to get... The XL is for 6' to 6'2", 210-235# The XLS is for 5'8" to 5'10", 200-220# I'm 5'11", 235#. I've always just rented XLs in the past and they fit fine. Question, I guess is whether it is better for the wetsuit to be a little short or a little...

    Star Dancer, PNG - Rabaul - Feb 2005?

    My bride and I will be on the Star Dancer for the January 26 trip to South New Britain. Trying to plan some gear purchases at the moment, and we're wondering what wet suits (if any) we need for PNG. I'm really tempted to bring along just a lycra dive skin and be done with it, given what I have...
