    Beginners Honeymooning on the Islands

    I also strongly recommend 'Bubbles Below' on Kaui. Their boat is pretty standard. but their staff is extraordinary. We were there a couple of months ago and dove local dives, Niihau and Napali coast with them. We saw the animals and features we wanted to see,( of course there's never a guarantee...

    Galileo Trimix?

    So, instead of servicing the customers that have purchased the product, Johnson has decided to chase the market for a new product. I understand the need to keep up with competitors, but there is an obligation to provide the existing customers with the product they were promised (and in a...

    Salt River Diving

    If you go on the weekend, go early or late. Drunk tubers can be a pain. (they can also be fun.. ) If you go when a lot of tubers are floating, be careful. Jeff

    Neat Little Tricks Are Good to Know

    For me, in warm, saltwater, and a shorty it calculates to almost double what I dive. Cold water is pretty close. In fresh water, Its even further away. Jeff

    Clean up Vista Point

    Unless you're buying a drysuit with an air conditioner, you should be alright without one. The water at lake pleasant is like bathwater. (dirty bathwater) Jeff

    Low 7o's water temp today at Sheeps Crossing. Lots of the usual treasures. Actually kept some this time. A pocket knife and a pair of Versace glasses that looked like they were very recently lost. Jeff

    Mistral value.

    I have had a problem uploading photos to the gallery, so I am going to try to link to some elsewhere. What is the general impression of the condition of this piece? http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i116/ffhamm/Mistral/DSC_3249.jpg

    Mistral value.

    Thank you! It seems to be in pretty good shape. I have been having problems uploading photos but I think I should get some up soon. Does a band clamp hurt the value of a regulator? Right now it has some crimped pieces on it every few degrees. I think its original, at least in design. As far as...

    Mistral value.

    Bought a Mistral today, mostly because it looks like a neat piece of diving history. From the quick online research I did, I think it is from the late 50's. The identification plate is missing paint in some spots, but is still readable with no serial number. The body of the regulator finish is...

    Sand Dollar - August 1

    It's been about a year since I've been on the Sand Dollar, but I have no problem recommending them. The crew is fun to be around, seem to know the spots to visit, and do a good job. The food was super fantastic, and the boat was pretty much what I expect for a dive boat. I give them a thumbs...

    Bora Bora request for recommendations

    Top Dive was good to us when we went. We stayed at Club Med when we went a couple of years ago, but I understand it's closed now. Too bad, it was a nice place, all-inclusive and in a good location. Jeff

    Newbie Gear Question regarding masks

    Like so many here have stated, buy a mask that fits and is comfortable. Don't shop by price, and think the most expensive mask will necessarily be better.
