You've opened a can of christmas tree worms with this question :) There are lots and lots of approaches to addressing this problem. Posting some information about your camera setup would help guide the advice. When people are starting out, they are often overwhelmed by all the possibilities...

I started with all regular Eneloops and now use Eneloop Pros. But I agree with @fmerkel about the relative longevity. Even on the packaging, the Pros say - Recharge 500 times!, whereas regular eneloops claim - Recharge 2,000 times!. I feel confident leaving the pros in for 3 dives, possibly...

I signed up for my first liveaboard last summer (Sea of Cortez). Considering how seasick I get, I decided to try the scop patches. I tried them in Cayman Brac on day boats before the trip. Worked like a charm. No drowsiness like meclizine and much more effective. I got a Rx from my doc and...

If you're staying in Kāʻanapali, try and make time to do Mala Wharf/Pier: https://goo.gl/maps/M9s7JdPXRY65aR2g6 I loved all the dives I did in Maui, but honestly this one was the best. Shore entry is a little tricky - have to walk over shallow dead coral. Just take it slow. 20ft. 90 min dive...

Based on the replies so far (thanks, all), one thing I'll definitely do differently is to book with Bird's. Nothing against CRW, but getting there early suits me just fine.

I had a group of 30 at CBBR last April. We had the 3 dives/day AI package. Several people in my group wanted to shore dive as well, so I rented a car. CBBR was reasonable to work with, but they certainly didn't emphasize shore diving. The timing could be a little tight. We returned from the...

It's not hard sided, but I can't tell you how much abuse I have put this rolling duffle through: Rolling Adventure Duffle, Extra-Large At least 6 or 7 years of 3-4 trips per year. Big planes, small planes, delays, etc. It's still intact and working. I wish its inherent weight was a bit less...

I can second @KathyV 's praise for Clearly Cayman/Reef Divers herculean efforts when it comes to compensating for schedule "anomalies" with Cayman Airways. The last trip I led to LC, we had 30 people freaking out on Friday night after Cayman Airways cancelled all flights out of LC on Saturday...

@spoolin01 - Miloli'i Sites we dove: #1 Da Rock in 'Haolewood' (as the host called it), basically the newer, wealthier part of Miloli'i https://goo.gl/maps/xqspbCqgV9akfu8N7 #2 Miloli'i Old Dock https://goo.gl/maps/mVYW3hBfT7b5mmdc8 At Da Rock, there's a small gravel area, then a little...

Yeah, I didn't dive at Papakōlea Green Sand Beach (#4). If you did dive there, it would be a long hike in (2.7 miles) with gear :). The beach is one of only 4 green sand beaches in the world. If you stay at Sugar Cottage, it's quite close and definitely worth the trip. Stunning landscapes.

About this time last year, my wife and I were discussing our annual "big" trip, which we take each summer. It was a milestone birthday for me, so i said I'd like to dive more than usual on our shared trip (my wife only snorkels, so our annual vacation is a 'trip with diving' as opposed to a...

You should keep your eyes out for a used Panasonic GH4 setup. I've seen some people who are upgrading to the GH5 selling GH4 UW setups for around your price. It might be hard to get the body, decent lens, port, and housing for $2k, but it's possible. You definitely won't get a wide angle...

Banner ads, sidebar ads, ads between posts - that all seems acceptable. But ads within the text of a single post seems a little excessive (first time I've seen that is today). I had disabled ABP for scubaboard, in case I saw an interesting ad where a click might help support. But it's...

If you can find somewhere (Drive, WeTransfer, OneDrive, iCloud, etc.) to post a couple RAW files (as @Barmaglot suggested) then I'd be happy to take a crack at them in LR and offer any processing suggestions.

Can you still dive at Mt. Storm Lake, WV? (Mt Storm Dive Site - Jim Egenrieder). It's around 3,100ft.

A couple years ago, I was able to clear off 3 days in January to head down to N. Central Florida for a quick trip. For 10 years now, I've wanted to try a few things in this location - dive in Blue Grotto, drift dive in the Rainbow River, and snorkel/take some pics with the Manatees. I was able...

Gorgeous!

Close: Blue Heron Bridge, Riviera Beach, Florida Farther: Frederiksted Pier, St. Croix Even Farther: Hawai'i Real Far: Indonesia, Philippines That list is also in order of cost to get there. I know others have said similar, but for day and night octo action, those are the best in my experience...

Falling into the boat is always better than falling out of the boat! Now, you've earned your AOW.

Hawaii ticks all your boxes, except possibly reasonable travel. It's not outrageous travel, but might fall outside your definition of reasonable. I would suggest the Big Island. If you really want to do a liveaboard you can do the Kona Agressor for one week and explore and dive on shore the...
