I definitely understand that asymptomatic people can still spread the virus and that their immune system response will be different than those with symptoms. I don't understand why an asymptomatic individual would have serious lung damage, without knowing that something was wrong. It just...

....and how do you know that any of these insurance plans, including DAN, remain solvent. In my opinion @NDL_Diver is right. Figure out the total cost to do this on your own, if everything goes wrong, and then make your decision on that basis.

The owner of this site is American as are many of the members, but it is an international forum, so you have to go with the flow.

I use stainless steel bolts with locknuts....the type with the insert not the lockwasher.

Thanks to everyone who has helped out the Cozumel hotels/dive ops during this incredibly stressful time.

@Christi Please tell Pedro we're thinking about him and his family....so sorry

Canadian borders are closed to everyone but citizens, permanent residents and their immediate relatives plus US citizens. However our provincial government is asking Americans to not visit if they can avoid it. I expect that God's Pocket thought it would be best to just scrub the season.

...because he/she had something to post, found an appropriate old thread and added to it. Otherwise someone would have said "There's already a thread on this, why didn't you look for it" To be honest I'm not sure which way scubaboard likes....post to an old thread or start a new one.

I'm not sure you can get anywhere in the Philippines in under 3 hours :D

You only need two holes to attach the wing. If they aren't in the right place you can drill new ones.....but I suspect you won't need to as most plates have multiple holes already and the wings have more than 2 places to put bolts.

I also think that DK is more applicable to the "intermediates" in any higher risk activity than it is to the newbies. These are the people who actually have the skills and experience to do the activity safely in most situations but unfortunately take that to mean "all situations". This is the...

I have a bit of a different take on Dunning Kruger. I see it as applicable to people who overrate their skills/abilities and see no reason to learn anything more. In my opinion it doesn't necessarily apply to people with less than adequate skills who know they need to keep learning, even if...

When were you there last ? We like the restaurant in Steps and Garden, where we usually stay, for Philippine food, or Papa Freds. Tamarind has decent food too, but there were too many smokers for us last time we were there. North Vancouver is pretty much a smoke free environment outside private...

Where can I get one of those shirts?

One of the reasons we dove with Buceo Anilao is that their pricing is per diver per dive. I didn't want to take a chance on us having to pay the entire fee for the boat.

My exhaust valve was doubled over. Didn't discover it until I tried to descend and got a mouthful of water. Take your second stage apart and check the diaphragm and exhaust valve. Look for any cracks in the housing or tears in the mouthpiece.

I hate anything the least bit tight around my waste (also hate ties and long sleeve dress shirts :shakehead:). I like to travel with a light backplate so a harness works best for me. If I dive locally the harness can also carry the additional weight required.

If you have a full boat the space to hang wetsuits gets used up fast. So if you were the only person to take two suits it would probably be OK, but if a lot of people do it, then it wouldn't. I dove in a 3 mil shorty with a thin neoprene rash guard underneath. If you're not an exceptionally...

I like what I have of your products and will buy again from you, when needed. Maybe it is a good idea to back away for a while and, if you do come back, have a bit of a different (Q/A only ??) presence.

Nice shots. Looks like you had some great dives.
