That's my question too... will the country be open for travel and how much quarantine will be necessary to make the trip happen. My thoughts re: travel in covid time is to go to one place and stay there for the duration of the trip so you are minimizing your exposure to people and chances to...

There is a board, I had mixed results with it but made up for it with boat dives. Hit us up if you want to do night dives or get night diver specialty. :) I'll be doing the course with a private instructor while I'm in Bonaire, arriving on the 27th.

Expedia! I think our car is Avis.

Thank you for writing this, it is immensely helpful. I am flying from NYC (EWR) and stressing out about my testing options. Contemplating getting rapid test in the airport for $180 in addition to whatever I might get before because that beats stressing out about whether I will have results of...

What insurance did you get? It sounds like a good deal! Also curious about the names of the Chinese restaurants you enjoyed! My guilty pleasure is Kite City Food Truck.

I'm doing Sat-Sat because that's how my dates worked out best... taking a total of 3 weeks off but have to visit my mom for a while first. I think I have the best of both worlds, I work 11+ days a month and can usually take off about 10 days in a row without issue, sometimes more. I put those...

I'll be there Nov 27-Dec 11, I'll be doing my divemaster training stuff too, but hoping to get in fun diving also, especially night dives. I'll be diving with my big camera rig and going slowly. At night, I prefer to dive with red light, and sometimes with UV/blue light. We're a party of 3...

I've just planned and booked a 2 week trip for 3 to Bonaire for under $7000 for the three of us -$1350 total for an Air BnB with a kitchen (I shall be serving as chef) -$650 for manual transmission truck (2/3 of us can drive it, and I'm hoping to learn while I'm there) -$1200 unlimited air from...

Scubapro go sport fins were my choice and I really like them. Enough power, travel well, come in full foot or bootie versions. I can hover and camera easily. Used them with currents in Maldives, and they were fine.

I had this problem and this was the solution too. I love these things!

Another thing to consider is potential for positive swab even months after resolution of symptoms, which could lead to everyone on your liveaboard getting quarantined. Might be better to take 6+ months to heal, then do a single dive locally to see how you do before any big travel.

Very sad to hear, he is a legend and an inspiration.

Curious about what you ended up doing, and how you are doing now. :) Maybe we'll end up in one of Andy's classes together!

I've lost 55 pounds in the past year just by eating less and doing activities that I enjoy. No "exercising" because that's tedious and not something I want to do long term. Diving is the best exercise! Burns tons of calories and you're totally unaware of it!

I just discovered this today and am requesting records through my state's vaccine database, which our Governor made impossible for civilians to access as of last month. :( I need to figure out a vaccination template letter and have one of my colleagues sign that as a backup. (Might even be...

Mermaid will work with you to reschedule... I've had to reschedule twice so far.

This is the first thing that has made me even consider another doctoral degree.

I think I might. I have requested the time off and I think I got it. How are you getting to the departure point, and would you be interested in sharing ride?

Oooh, cool! I don't know if I can get out there by the 18th... Will see what work gives me off. I asked for Sept 15-Oct 15.

Thank you for your writeup, thinking to go to Egypt this Sept-Oct (ideally 2 back- to back liveaboards)
