    TSA Courtesy Notice

    This is probably best, explaining the item and giving a way to contact you with questions. Understand that the TSA Officer only cares about whether or not the item is prohibited on the flight or in the cargo holds.

    Going to Cozumel from NYC in August

    If you on an employment based Visa you're a non-immigrant. If you have a valid Visa and are still in status why would you have trouble unless you travel to one of the countries that are now restricted? The limiting of Visas to ensure Americans get first opportunity is controversial? Every...

    Can we go to Coz yet?

    I've been able to do that without problem. They've actually called my lunch order in on the ride back so it'd be ready and I could eat between. Have a great time. You made a great choice. I'm in process of booking a trip there end of Sept.

    Can we go to Coz yet?

    A great choice. Been using them for 15 years. Every room has ocean view. Pool is small but nice. Depending on how light you sleep, the street traffic especially in the morning, may be a nuisance. I like they have several start times for dives. Good for those who don't want to get up at 7am while...

    Can we go to Coz yet?

    It's a trusted traveler program, good at all US ports but only some foreign ports. See below link (Mexico is one) International Arrangements | U.S. Customs and Border Protection

    Sea of Cortez liveaboard in July

    It's good you were allowed through. Doesn't change the fact that Mexico and the US have extended the border closure and you could have just as easily been refused entry. Maybe it depends on the Officials at the port....like with the camera housing taxes being levied at Baja ports but not others?

    Sea of Cortez liveaboard in July

    This! The shut down is land border. @horn34 said "There are only a few crossing spots on the US/MX border where people are actually being turned back." Risk your vacation on how a Mex immigration official feels?

    USVI Dive Vacation - what do we need to know?

    We dove in St Thomas in Feb of 2020. Highly recommend Red Hook Dive Center. Great dive op. The owners and staff are friendly. The boat is nice and newer. Easy access to sites in the gulf, Atlantic or sound, no more than 20 min ride. Relatively shallow diving. The marina they are located in had...

    Baby Shampoo Ratio

    Yeah the USFDA is in the process of "reviewing" chemical based sunscreens. We all might be switching to mineral based soon which apparently is better for the oceans and the people. We'll see.

    Was hoping someone could take a look at my sponsor status. Been a few days. I think my SB & PayPal email address are the same but here is the transaction id just in case 9KR31823LD2240702. Thanks in advance

    frequent divers need less weight?

    pssht I gave you some good info on that post in the Pub. Was actually able to help some others too. I do find that as I've gotten older and fatter I need more weight. Used to get by with 8lbs but now need 14lbs. I think I'll do a check in Sept in CZM just to make sure it's not in my mind... Not...

    Nude diving?

    Club Orient in St. Martin used to have nude scuba. I think they used an outside dive shop. Wish I knew of this ritual when I hit 100 as I was much thinner... Now it'd just look like a bear splashing down.

    not a shearwater fan ?

    I know I'm late to this but; there are companies that have cases that turns your non lifesaving iPhone into a full functioning, multilevel, lifesaving dive computer. As an added bonus it still takes all those adorable pictures and videos Apple users seem to love. iGills, Scuba Capsule, DiveNav...

    Why are dive computers so much cheaper in the UK?

    Other duty info travelers may not know. It's $800 per person, no matter the age and if it's a family unit in the same household you can combine the exemptions. Above the $800 per person is a 3% flat rate for the first $1000. So a single person spent $1800, the most duty they'd owe is $30. Once...
