Bring seasickness medicine if you are prone to that. It's a long boat ride to and from, and when you're in the cages you're basically just bobbing for hours. If you're serious about the whites, I'd stay in the cage as much as possible - even when nothing is happening for a while. I spent 29hrs...

For anybody thinking about purchasing this, I just want to chime in as someone who is a full-time video producer: the SmallHD 501 is an excellent monitor.

@moorish8idol I had a buddy do an orca safari a year or two ago. From what he said, the weather will definitely restrict your chances, so a shorter trip is riskier. You should also keep in mind that the chance of really seeing them up close is minimal. Most experiences I've heard of, including...

@Salt Portsmouth Scuba in Portsmouth, NH does free guided shore dives every once in a while, as well as trips to the Isles of Shoals to dive with grey seals.

@oraph I've been twice and absolutely loved it both times. I spent 29hrs underwater the second time around, which I think was the longest on the boat! Like you said, people get bored after a while and it's easy to always find open cage spots.

@drrich2 I went to Dominica in November and it took a while. I flew out of Boston at 7am, flew from Logan to JFK, then JFK to San Juan (Puerto Rico), had to overnight in San Juan, and then flew from SJU to Dominica. Arrived in the afternoon. On the way back, it was DOM to SJU, SJU to JFK...

@ReadyDiverOne See any whales while you were out there? I went to Dominica last November to snorkel with sperm whales and it was amazing!

Condition?

Nice, I've done two trips with Andy and would definitely do more! I've looked into his oceanic trip, just hasn't worked with that time of year. I'm glad you had such an awesome time!

Last year was the first time I spent Thanksgiving away from home. I chose to snorkel with sperm whales in Dominica instead, and frankly I'd take that over a turkey dinner any day. I'm definitely planning to do more trips over Thanksgivings!

Hello scuba women! My girlfriend is looking for a pair of leggings that would be comfortable for snorkeling/diving in warm water (we're headed to USVI this summer). Any suggestions? She's looked at Wanderlust, but curious as to what else might be out there. Cheers, Chris

Thanks for everybody's responses. @ontdiver hits the nail on the head though, apologies for not expressing myself more clearly. I care less about diving entirely solo and more about just having the flexibility to stay under longer than my buddy. Last liveaboard (Bahamas), I would descend with...

Hey folks, I'm looking into booking a Mike Ball LOB trip, and while I've read the company's policy on solo diving, I was curious if it differs at all in reality? For example, on my last liveaboard I would start every dive with a buddy, but then I would stay under longer since he burned through...

I spent one summer working on KT as an underwater videographer... never saw a whale shark the entire time.
