    Cabo Pulmo recommendations

    The water is cooler in March than in October/November, but there are still things to see. The resident reef critters are there year round. The bull sharks tend to like the cooler temperatures. The schools of Jack's are in the late fall. We always stay at Baja Bungalows and dive with Thierry...

    Non-existent EU support

    There's a form on the Shearwater website you can fill out with details of your computer's problems. Presumably they'll get back to you with instructions on getting it serviced.

    DGX equivalent in Canada????

    You're not paying import tax, you're paying GST and PST or HST, depending on which province you're in. You'll pay those same taxes if you buy from an online or brick and mortar shop in Canada. Any other import charges are the carrier's fees to clear customs. Some charge more than others.

    Suggestions for mask leaking - after brain surgery

    I'd try the mask that @mako sends. If that doesn't work you may have to modify a mask to fit your temple area. I use the DRIS sealant and it does help, but it may not be enough.

    Roatan Options with Family

    I was never bothered by them when we were in Roatan, but I don't usually sit on the beach. We have similar creatures here in British Columbia and in particular at our cabin. They seem to come and go, so maybe it's the same in Roatan. We also encountered some minuscule biting insects in Cabo...

    Roatan Options with Family

    I haven't been to Las Rocas for a few years, but it is in a nice location and would be a good choice for a family of 4. At the time we went they provided transportation to and from the airport. There were enough eating establishments in West End and West Bay that we didn't have to leave the...

    Scammers hitting dive shops for fraudulent Shearwater/Garmin computer purchases

    Fair enough, but how do Shearwater or whoever else maintains the list know that the digitally acquired serial number comes from a stolen computer.....if everything is done through the existing update system.

    Scammers hitting dive shops for fraudulent Shearwater/Garmin computer purchases

    Provided everything is reported correctly and Shearwater don't end up disabling a legitimate owner's computer.

    Scammers hitting dive shops for fraudulent Shearwater/Garmin computer purchases

    Someone would have to take responsibility for maintaining the list and ensuring it was correct. There would need to be a process for submitting the serial numbers of stolen computers, including verification that the serial numbers were valid and the computers were actually stolen....this would...

    The best place to install an octopus?

    Planning trip for divers and family with medical needs

    We have done dive trips to Placencia (Belize), Sabang Beach and Anilao (Philippines), Roatan, Cozumel and Cabo Pulmo. The only one that has a quality hospital nearby is Cozumel. It's also flat and has a number of dive shops and resorts. Unfortunately it caters primarily to cruise ship...

    Planning trip for divers and family with medical needs

    Just a couple of questions. What might the person with Crohn's disease need in terms of medical care? What types of activities are the children interested in?

    Is there some type of converter for this?

    If you're renting a car get your wife a 12v hair dryer. You can still make use of it at home.

    SD card problems

    Can you view the video on the GoPro? Did you use the same computer both times? Have you had this problem with SD cards that weren't used in your GoPro?

    This 7mm vest good or bad

    Do you want a vest or a full top, which is pictured. I prefer a vest because it keeps my core warmer while leaving my arms "free"

    Short trip report - La Paz, Baja California Sur

    We like Cabo Pulmo but if we wanted to see more of the Sea of Cortez we would probably go with one of the liveaboards. That would give us one or two days at places like La Paz.

    Short trip report - La Paz, Baja California Sur

    It probably makes more sense to compare Cabo Pulmo to those destinations you mentioned as there are enough dive sites to make a week to 10 day trip practical. In Cabo Pulmo we stay at Baja Bungalows with costs around $100 US a night. All units have kitchens and sleep anywhere from 2 to 5...

    Now it's time to choose a wrist computer.

    I like Deep6 products and have a wing and two second stages. I don't have their computer but am sure it is a quality product. Computers are all that Shearwater makes and my wife and I have 2 Peregrines with a Perdix for backup. You need to decide between 2 quality products.
