    liveaboard challenge

    Can anyone recommend an indopacific liveaboard that runs a trip that could be done using a single Sat-Sat calendar week from the west coast of the US, inclusive of travel time? I usually only can get one week of leave at a time from work, and want to do some diving in Indonesia, Thailand, or...

    DCS Type 2 and Frontal Lobe Damage

    There's very little in the medical literature about MR findings in people with DCS in the acute phase, let alone longitudinal studies to assess frontal lobe sequelae.

    Baja Aggressor

    Thought I'd give this thread a bump, does anyone know firsthand about how the aggressor charters are working out this year? I've been diving with Nautilus Explorer and have great respect for Mike's operation, but I'm looking into options for some dive buddies who are letting me do the planning...

    Maui's WWII wrecks

    Interesting picture on the Ed Robinson's link. Based on the gear it looks like an upside down F6F (not F4F as noted on the link, whose gear retracted into the fuselage), though I initially was confused by the lump of coral which I first took to be a cockpit.

    Maui's WWII wrecks

    Is the hellcat diveable? I tried to get out to see the helldiver last winter, but conditions were poor. I'd be interested in diving the F6F as long as it's not a war grave.

    Caribbean Explorer II Liveaboard, August 2011

    Have a great trip Judy! I should also thank fellow scubaboarder kennedy for her insight into the trip, which she took a couple weeks before me. There are a few other trip reports on the board, the best advice I gleaned from them was that the boat swings about the mooring in a broad arc at times...

    Amazon's shark fin cakes

    Looks like it isn't available. I hope Amazon keeps it that way.

    Hopefully it's okay to post a link to my trip video on youtube. This is a shortened low res version with generic music, sorry I can't post the original HD video or soundtrack due to file size and copyright concerns. Obviously I'm still working on white balancing and keeping my camera steady...

    Where to get Suunto computer repaired?

    I don't like shining my light on my computer to read it at night. Bad for the night vision, and since my dive light is usually my video rig, it means pointing the whole thing at my wrist. I may try to snag a secondhand Vytec DS, or a D6i or HelO2. Good to hear that people don't mind not...

    Caribbean Explorer II Liveaboard, August 2011

    Well now this is something remarkable. First trip report in 5 years. That’s what a pair of kids will cost you youngsters thinking of starting a family, that and a whole lot of lost sleep. But it is sometimes possible to sneak in a trip as they start growing up. So with the children tucked...

    Where to get Suunto computer repaired?

    I have a Suunto Vytec that I bought from DiveTank, a now defunct authorized dealer in Canada. It has worked flawlessly, but now the backlight function has failed. The backlight is in the "on" mode, but does not come on during battery check at startup or by pressing the backlight button when in...

    Has anyone else noticed an interesting aspect of the Deep Blue's photo gallery? Check out the photos of the boat. Notice all the people on the rail in the pictures? Deep Blue Galapagos Scuba Diving yacht Photo Gallery More particularly, this one... Now that's advertising!

    That airport isn't one you want to land at with the plane heavier than the pilot expected.

    Another dive insurance thread, Diveassure experience?

    It may also be worth pointing out that trip cancellation coverage is only offered with Diveassure's highest level plan, and is a separate entity for DAN, which divides coverage into Diving Accident and Trip Cancellation/Interruption policies. Buying the highest level trip cancellation plan...

    Another dive insurance thread, Diveassure experience?

    Okay, spent some time with the DAN membership handbook. Absent the purchase of add on coverage for dive equipment, it sounds like coverage in the most comprehensive plan ("preferred") is limited to losses that occur during a "covered diving accident" and specifically to equipment that is "cut...

    Another dive insurance thread, Diveassure experience?

    Yup, lots of threads on this topic on the board. Recent coverage in Undercurrent (also posted in part on this board under the Diveassure forum). I've been reading the small print of the diveassure diamond plan description of coverage, and note that they do not cover costs related to changes...
