I am not a card collector, after 30+ years 500+ dives I have only my OW, and AOW cards. I only got the AOW because some operators were starting to require it for certain dives, also live aboard operators often require it, and I plan to do a few of them in the coming years. Never say never...

Have you done much video editing? Do you have a computer that's up to the task. I do not like video editing, and my fairly decent laptop sucks at it. I take lots of stills with my TG-5 and enjoy it.

I hear you, it's a very casual island, they take wet bills and cards dry off quickly. If you have to have a phone, pick up something used or cheap before you go, get a SIM card on island, keep your real phone at lodging. If I was splitting the cost with another couple I might consider it and...

What is it that you feel you need to take with you that will need to be locked up? It's a pretty small island, and from most of the dive sites you might be an hour from your lodging at most.

I would agree that a non refundable on the boat dives and gear rental makes sense at 30-60 days out as they would be turning away others to hold your boat spots and probably the rental gear. I would call them and discuss your concerns with them.

What all are you reserving? I do not know why they would be requesting payment in full unless it's something highly personalized. Something like a private dive guide, or private boat trips, maybe custom gear? I'm pretty sure the last time we used Dive Friends, five people unlimited shore diving...

What kind of whales, do you know if they are fast moving? If it's going to be fast and frantic, maybe a GoPro set to collect videos and Stills at 1 or 2 second intervals could be a good choice. They take very good wide angle shots and have relatively good low light performance. Does that Kraken...

First though, Panzer or Sherman. I need to dive more. Sorry for the interruption.

Could you use a single and a slave? Which strobes? Are you associated with the winery on Flint Hill?

Get a retractor, especially if you are talking about a smallish light. Some things that would have used a couple C-cell batteries. I keep one like that in a BC pocket with the retractor clipped to a d-ring inside the pocket.

One suggestion I would make is to have her take Sudafed, the 12 hr. type the day of, and maybe some land based gentle ear equalizing practice in days before.

Does look pretty awesome, maybe I'll be selling my MW4300, and Inon D200.

Decimated rubble field out in front of that place.😢😡

From the southern hotels you will be walking along the un-improved shoulder a good bit of the way. You can preview the route on Google maps using the street view. This is out by the airport.

Chic magnets! I would love to find one and bring it stateside

Google says about a 1/2hr walk from harbour village. 1 hr from bellefonte, 11/2hr from delfins For clarity, I put the in town destination as Karl's. Also, I tend to walk a good bit faster than Google's pace, and suspect most able bodied people would too.

I would also recommend the TG series cameras, they take excellent macro and good portraits at 3-5 feet from subject under almost all conditions. As Rilelen's shots show you can also get great wide angle large subject shots with sufficient practice, skills, and favorable conditions. You can get...

You could save a little on the diving by hitting shore dive destinations. You didn't mention if your traveling solo and solo certified or with a diving companion. That could alter recommendations Cayman Brac/ Grand Cayman 10 days between the two. Bonaire/Curacao 1 week each. Use the shore...

We have considered Red Sea, Maldives, and the leading contender currently is the Philippines. My wife has little interest in liveaboards, so while not out, not really considering either. Preliminary research shows a combination of planes trains automobiles and boats will be required, 3 to 5 days...

AOW, but not by choice. Will likely go self reliant when I retire.
