Okay, long story. I’ve just gotten back into diving after what I think is a 15-16 year hiatus. Because of the long time since diving, all my gear from back then is long gone and I’ve resupplied myself with new (and improved) gear. Before I got my new wetsuit, I rented a 5mil suit and dove in the...

Hi guys! I just ordered a custom semi-dry 7mm suit with a sleeveless, hooded jacket from Aquaflite. It took 7 days, that's right, 7 days, from the time I faxed in my measurements until the suit showed up on my doorstep! It fits great with only one little problem (there is about a 1/2" gap...

I have the MacAir and love it. I also have an IMac at home so the lack of an optical drive is not a problem for me. since I can use the drive on my IMac to load programs on the Air through the remote drive option. Neither is the fact that it only has a 128G drive. I have a 3tb external hard...

I just got a p7000 and Fantasea housing and am now working out the details, so I could be wrong. But, my thoughts are that if the sealife flash is set up for a fiber optic cable it will work (of course you might have to get a custom cable made.) Outside of fiber optics, I don't believe there is...

Not sure what your guys were looking for, but a couple of weeks ago, the Nikon NPS rep was in our photo dept. telling us that if we switch over from Canon, she could provide each of us with a 300 2.8 (6 total), and the dept with 2 400 2.8 and a 600 f4 within a couple of weeks of ordering. Now...

I am a working photojournalist and have used both the Canon and Nikon systems. I started out with the Canon FD series and then went to Nikon when autofocus became the thing. Recently, my paper has decided that I am no longer allowed to use my personal Nikon gear and will have to use the issued...

It sounds like an exciting trip and if I were interested in more of the land options, I would definitely want to go. However, you have a 16-day trip with only 6 days of diving scheduled and only one day on what is arguably your biggest draw, the Coolidge. If I were setting up this trip, I would...

I haven't been to Truk since 1988, but back then, there was the most incredible soft corals and clown fish! I would say that my macro shots from Truk are better than my wreck shots, but maybe that's because I only had one flash unit at the time and a Nikonos V with a 20mm lens for the wide...

Imla, nice photo, how many meters down were you? Butch, I would love to see your stills and video if you have time, when you get them up, post on this thread. Jerry

Ken, I just looked at the excerpts on Barnes & Noble's site. The last excerpt ends with a mystery half way through the chapter, now I HAVE to buy the book to find out what happens! Seriously, it looks great and I will be ordering at least one copy. Thanks for taking the time and writing down...

I am so sorry you had a bad experience and luckily, you came away safe and sound. First off, no offense, but just because you may have an "advanced" rating does not mean you are an advanced diver. With only 20 dives, I would rate you as a beginner diver. Yes, the DM should have told you about...

Looking for comments on a p7000 in a fantasea housing. It looks like a great way to get into a housed camera for a cheap price (right now, the housing and camera combined price is about $600). I realize that a housed DSLR would give me better photos, but at my age and accessibility to diving, it...

Just an FYI, but the Mariana Islands, including Truk and Palau are all in the Northern Pacific (i.e. north of the equator). The term I remember as being the most appropriate is Western Pacific. Actually, while the above posters are correct in that Guam, Saipan and Rota diving doesn't measure up...

could you give prices on the restaurants you went to?

Thanks!

Hi Guys, I'm looking at a used pair of Force Fin Pros. I tried my buddy's pair which are lg and they were way too small for my feet. My shoe size is 10 1/2-11 with a ee-eeee width, depending on the shoe. Right now, I have a pair of Scubapro split fins in XL and a pair of Compro fins in XL...

Hi guys! I've been looking for a non-custom wetsuit that might fit me. I like what I see about the Isotherm as a suit, and looking at the sizing chart, I fit everything in the XXL: chest-46, waist 42, weight 220, but the height- 5'8" (sizing chart says 5'10-6'6). I have short legs, only a 29"...

Robin, if you go to this website: Guam: Total Diving and Scuba Information you'll get all sorts of information about traveling to palau or chuuk

Fortunately, my doctor is a very experienced scuba diver so he knows all about my meds and my diving. The bp meds I am taking are not diuretics. I'm actually more concerned about my friend's diabetes drugs than mine. Thanks for the replies. Jerry

Hi guys! I'm planning a trip to Coz next July with a small group of friends. Some of us are over 60, and I am on blood pressure medication and another takes medication to control his type-2 diabetes. I tend to be honest when filling out the medical information forms so I would like know if we...
