@AZTinman Thank you for the information! For the record, that tidibit was told to me by the divemaster at Los Islotes... since he had a marine biology degree, you would have thought he'd have been more informed. I'll edit my post. @Blues Runner water temperature was usually in the high 70s...

I just returned a few days ago from a trip to Baja California. I spent one day diving in Cabo San Lucas, then I went on the Nautilus Gallant Lady liveaboard to the Sea of Cortez, and then four more days of diving in CSL. Why the Sea of Cortez on the Nautilus Gallant Lady? Last year, I bid in a...

Why Tiger Beach? As a photographer and a shark lover, Tiger Beach has been on my list for a long time. @Dan posted on SB that he was putting together a group to go this fall, so I signed up with him. Due to everything going on, the planning was a complete mess. For a long time, we were unsure...

AA gave me 100 bonus miles. Minor, but I'll take it!

I traveled to SJD on 11/19 and was never even asked about a housing. I had the same strategy as my last visit a year ago, which was to appear as innocuous as possible - dive gear was in a duffel bag, housing in a carry-on suitcase and cameras in a normal backpack.

I've been diving in St. John for years and I only ever wear a rashguard and trunks (though on my last visit I wore a 1mm suit and that was nice to protect my lower legs). The water temperature is usually in the 80s. Winter might be a tad cooler, but not by much. From Trunk Bay, I would head...

@Murphy in NC If you want to dive with mantas, the Revillagigedos Islands are one of the best manta diving destinations in the world. It's not easy to get to, but if you're coming from NC, it would be easier than PNG. And Mexico is open to Americans.

There are some positive comments on SB about Divestock, but they seem to be a couple years old. Looking for more recent feedback before I purchase anything. Thanks!

ABNB = Airbnb

Yeah, that's about what I was thinking. Not required but certainly could be nice. Thanks!

@Mike Walker Did you use nitrox on these trips? I'm headed out on the Gallant Lady in a month.

@Ironborn How much did your eat/sleep/dive package cost? I see quotes on their website are based off of two people.

Price has been lowered to $225 (shipping is still additional).

I'm headed on this trip with @Dan and can't wait! We've all had plenty of trips cancelled this year. It is a relief to have one actually still happening. Come join us!

This Duck Island is part of the Isles of Shoals, and that is where the incident took place (according to the NE Scuba Divers FB group). According to the same post, she has passed away.

Price has been lowered to $250 (shipping is still additional).

Ikelite 5503.51 port now available for $10 (shipping is still additional).

I went on my latest Shoals trip on Sunday. Rough day. First dive was like pea soup with no seals. Second dive had even lower visibility, but I did have one great encounter with a seal coming within inches of me!

Price has been lowered to $275 (shipping is still additional).

Ikelite 5503.51 port now available for $15 (shipping is still additional).
