@PHIL RUDIN how do you find the animal eye autofocus works for fish eyes? I updated to the release with that feature right before the trip, but wasn't convinced it would do well on fish and crabs and stuff.

I see a lot of posts about what to buy, how to use, but I would love to hear what people do with their gear in those long surface intervals between trips. What can we do to preserve and protect our expensive housings etc, to get the longest life out of them? How often do you service your...

Got my camera wet for the first time, and it was amazing. I cannot say enough good things about the Nauticam housing/vacuum pump. I knew the enclosure was airtight every dive, which made things a lot less stressful. I spent a lot of time shooting macro with the Sony 90mm lens mentioned above...

Meeee! (Just got system, get me in a month after I've had a chance to thoroughly use it.) I went all in and got a Nauticam housing and it is so nice! Really easy to get in and out, everything works smoothly. Vacuum system and moisture alarms are great and take some of the stress out of diving...

I was there April-May last year, and will be going back this year. There were some dives where I could not imagine seeing more fish than I did (and then the next dive there were more). Not huge fish, but we were on the reef not in the blue. There were sharks, there were hammerheads. There were...

I was absolutely astounded that I didn't fall out of bed once, despite all the sailing, and the sometimes not the calmest seas. (Although from what I hear, our crossing was pretty calm relative to past years.)

I did this last year, and couldn't resist when I realize I had the right dates off this year too. I'm on the Ratu Pelangi! 18 nights! Happy sailing and diving to everyone!

In Bali, I stayed at a resort hotel that was quite far from touristy stuff. It was a gorgeous place where I didn't have to do anything and spent way too much time in the bathtub. I wrote a little post about it with photos... Don't forget to get Grab/GoJek apps on your phone. Not useful for...

Only experience with MM 1 but it was fantastic. 14 days/15 nights last year doing the Sorong -> Maumere passage. I was in the top bunk in the budget cabin, and it was comfortable.

Followup to my post here... I dove with Divers of Poseidon (Meril Esser) and it was good! If anyone is looking to get rescue diver certified in Aruba, hit up Merril directly!

This info is so helpful. Yeah, I need internet capable of doing VOIP and sending files. My plans were to dive during the day and take care of business at night. I looked into changing flight to Roatan but Delta does not fly there and I'm Gold Medallion there. Bonaire inter-island flight is...

It's starting to sound like I would be happier flying to Bonaire and diving there... I'm really not into crowds of tourists and just want to dive and do work online from my room when I'm there. I travel on a low budget (hopefully lodging $50/night) and don't eat at restaurants often...

Maybe me? I'm solo and trying to figure out the details of my trip now. Feb 12-19.

Solo traveler, advanced open water/nitrox, heading to Aruba or Curacao Feb 12-19. Goals are to do rescue diver course and as many dives as possible in addition. I have my own gear. I was not planning on renting a vehicle. 1. What do I do with my gear? What dive operations have gear storage...

I'm looking to learn theory/practice and improve skills (interests include dive medicine and getting a firm foundation if/when I start doing technical diving.) I want a course/instructor that I'm not just giving money to in exchange for a card. Also interested in doing rescue course because I...
