Hi guys! I've tried searching for this but trying to get all that in one search gives me pretty much every thread in this catagory :( So, here's my question. I've taken a long hiatus from diving, about 12 years, and now am upgrading my equipment since I am determined to get back into...

It can go the other way too. I posted a review on a place I went to. To say it was not complimentary would be an understatement. Almost immediately after I posted, another post is left that raves about the place. When I reviewed all the posts for the place, without exception, when there was a...

Okay an update since a fair number of people have looked at this, but apparently don't have any advice to offer. Based on a call to Sea & Sea, I was directed to contact Devon at Pacific Housing Repair in Monterey, Calif. Devon told me that the 20mm Sea & Sea lens and the 35mm Nikonos lens do...

Diving with sea lions off Santa Barbara Island in the Channel Islands and a night dive on the Fujikawa Maru in Truk Lagoon.

Garrobo, No problem there, my water antics only include diving and that's not all that hard on the rotator cuff, other than getting the equipment on and off. But I'm waiting a good six months to get started again.

I'm another guy who's been out of the water for years (about 12-15 or so to be exact). I now live in Vegas, diving got put on hold. Heck, you need a three-day vacation to do a one-day dive in the channel islands from here! That plus the fact that my wife is not interested in tropical islands...

Back in 1988, I lived in Guam and was diving about 4 days a week. There is a dive spot in Guam called the Piti Bomb Holes. This area was inside the fringing reef and had nice coral formations. It also had a bottom of less than 30 feet. So, unless you went outside the reef, you couldn't go...

Hi guys, I don't know if this is the right forum to post on, but the Sea & Sea forum seems to be all about the digital cameras. I've got a Nikonos V that I would like to use again. I've been out of diving for around 15 years and so has the camera. Now I know where I can get the...

Thanks to all who've replied. You've given me a bunch of info. As mentioned by more than one person, we plan on doing some dinners in town, but wanted the AI more for the convenience than anything else. We are a couple of old geezers :eyebrow: (I'm 60 and my buddy is 63) so hitting the town for...

Thanks for the info. Brules: that's five days of diving, not five dives a day! DandyDon: you have a point about the cost of rental versus the excess baggage payment, I'll have to check into that. Perhaps I could get one of those "tropical only" bcs that weigh just 6 lbs. (heck always need a...

Hi guys! A buddy and I are beginning our planning for a dive trip to Cozumel for next summer. In the past I've stayed at the Barracuda, Casa del Mar, the Presidente and another place north of town which I can't remember the name of. These trips date back to 1983, but I haven't been to Coz...

Hi Sandy, I read in another post that this guy had retired around the first of the year. I used to use SubAquatic but they are also out of business. Seems like getting the Nikonos serviced is a dying art :-( Jerry

Hi guys! I'm getting back into diving after about a 15 year hiatus. I have a Nikonos V and since digital housings are so expensive, I figure I'll at least start back with the Nikonos. But, I need to have it serviced and don't know who I should send it to these days. I'm in Nevada, so...

If she's set on Tahiti, check out the tahititourism website. They have some great deals. 5 nights in Tahiti from 1400/pp with air from L.A., 5 night stays on two islands from 1600 with air from L.A. and so forth. I get their e-mails all the time since I attended DEMA one year. I have to say I...

Hi guys! New poster here, long time diver. How does Undercurrent rate on dive reviews? Reason I ask is that I saw a review from someone who said their Guam diving experience was crap, citing lots of sand and no coral. Now I haven't been in Guam in a long time, but as I remember, the only place...

Hi Guys! I'm a new poster, soon to return to diving after a hiatus of about 10 years. I was originally certified by NASDS back in 1973 and have spent a fair amount of time diving in the Pacific, but moved to Nevada 10 years ago (not much diving in the desert!). Now I've decided to get...
