Hi guys, I've got a Nikon P7000 and the Fantasea housing for it, the FP7000. I'm a photojournalist by trade and when I got back into diving after a long layoff, I bought this combination to do uw photos. I found that I still wanted an slr and so this camera combo has been in the water a grand...

Hi guys! A while ago, I remember reading in some thread about a homemade ear solution used to keep from getting infections while diving on liveaboards. I searched but couldn't find it. Can anyone help? Thanks!

I truly love my dogs, to the point of liking them more than most people, but would never even consider bringing them on a dive trip. So many things to wonder about, where would they do their business, the rooms are so small anyway, where would they sleep, getting in the way on the dive deck...

Thanks for the write-up. Sounds like you had a great trip. I'm scheduled on the RDM in about 6 weeks for the Sea of Cortez trip. I'm interested in seeing what the differences in your trip and mine will be.

Hi guys! I just got my new Santi e-motion dry suit. I've got a question about storage between dives. Is it okay to leave it rolled up in the bag it came in or should I find a place to hang it up? I really don't have room in the house to hang it anywhere due to it's really long length, it's about...

Sounds like a great trip, but OUCH! the price! Guess I'll have to keep diving Cozumel for the moment.

Panulirus--I wonder if a Nautilus would have benefited you in the situation you were in. Granted, outside the US you can't contact the authorities, but it would have allowed you to call the boat directly by entering their marine radio channel into your unit. Of course, that would mean that...

Just posted by Micronesian Divers Association on Facebook: Great news from The Odyssey in Chuuk!: "We are happy to announce that the Odyssey is now free from the reef and afloat without assistance. The Odyssey will be making her way, under her own power, to the shipyard for permanent repairs...

Bill, did you use a dry suit in Palau? I'm thinking of taking mine with me on a trip to the Sea of Cortez. Not sure if it would be too warm though.

If you are using flash, the actual exposure (without the flash) might be too dark to see clearly. I have the e-m5 and I use the boost on because I don't know when I might be in a situation where the flash is the primary lighting vs using sunlight as my primary lighting. I set the image review...

I flew back from Hawaii on one of those Continental DC-10s. The lounge area was great, really broke up the trip!

Why are you bringing a 3mm and a 4mm suit? You'd be better served by taking the 3mm suit and a 3mm vest. More warmth over your core and lighter than a whole 4mm suit. Either that or just bring the 4mm suit.

There's about six diveable wrecks plus some aircraft on Guam. Micronesian Divers Association (MDA) will be able to give you the total list. Here's a website with many of the dives in Guam and other places listed: Guam: Total Pacific Travel, Diving and Scuba Information FYI: there are many good...

Have you thought about flying over to Guam for some diving there? Guam has some nice dives, Blue Hole, the tandem wrecks Tokai Maru/SMS Cormorant and some great reef diving.

Laura, please take a look at my post on your thread on Wetpixel.

One of the problems I've seen is divers overestimating their skill level. Recently I was on a LDS organized trip to Cozumel. One of the divers blew his safety stop on every dive, whacked the coral on each dive, kept bumping into divers as he tried to wedge in to see things and was either over or...

I'm also a single diver and am going on Bluewater's Sea of Cortez trip. If you are worried about having to pay a single supplement, don't worry. The boat won't charge a single supplement if the extra bed in your stateroom goes unsold. And Bluewater will surely find a diver to fill that spot!

The best wreck combo to see on Guam is the Tokai Maru and the SMS Cormoran. They are located in Apra Harbor and pretty easy to find. The Cormoran was scuttled in WWI and the Tokai was torpedoed in WWII settling on top of the Cormoran. Only place in the world you can touch wrecks from both World...

Check in with Micronesia Divers Association (MDA). There are many shore dives on Guam with easy access that they can point you to that you don't even need a local diver to go to.
