    Marine park tag (now printout)

    Ok, that makes sense so same as before. Someone mentioned you show your marine park paperwork where you are getting tanks. Can't imagine I'd really need it after that on my person, but i'll keep them in the glove box in printed form. I usually get my tanks from the Plaza, so the orientation...

    Marine park tag (now printout)

    So I was trying to find what Bonaire thinks one should do with those sheets, and I ran across this. Is this accurate? Do I need to attend some class at 9am the following morning? It also refers to something about 'getting your tag'. Is that a physical tag in addition to the paper I just...

    Marine park tag (now printout)

    Before it was a wooden tag (which was great), now it's a print out/qr code. Are we suppose to keep that paper with us, or a phone (so it can get stolen lol), or am I turning that paper in at the island to get a 'tag' for my bcd? Apologize if this has been asked and answered, packing/paying...

    Another question about petty theft

    How would they know it was unlocked?

    Is there a preferred sun screen product used on the island?

    It's called 'rash guard'. Works great, and doesn't fog your mask. :)

    Another question about petty theft

    Going back fourth time next week. We leave old sunglasses, water, and $40 or so somewhere in the truck out of sight. I usually leave the key under a rock. I do not leave it unlocked (go ahead and scorn me....)

    Who is diving after Covid?

    I'm going back in a week. Had a pretty bad flu symptom covid stretch of 2 weeks, with a week of getting better last fall. Felt fine ever sense. I honestly haven't given it a second thought.

    Thank you United Airlines ... NOT!

    How are these not some sort of 'breach of contract' type situations? If it were on rare occasions, I could see it.

    Bad accident on Independence II today (20 Aug 2022)

    Interesting story about the Texas Towers. I had not heard about it until now.

    Any opinions of the Dive Rite XT1 / XT2 reg package?

    This came in a couple days ago for my sons replacement setup. He got the XT4 version of the same kit referenced in this thread. The streamlined routing with double braided hoses, is just wOw. What a difference maker comfort wise, and reeling in all the exposed hoses around the diving profile...

    Do I need a new light??

    No. Just hold the button down a second or so and it comes on. It does always come on on the bright setting, but it will shut off from any of the 3 intensities. It also has 4 strobe settings.

    Do I need a new light??

    Well, the Kraken 1500z came in today. All aluminum, rechargeable lithium battery, seems very solid. The light output is actually far more impressive than I had hoped for. It has 3 levels of intensity so I can drop it way down, and also zooms from spot to flood. Really happy with this for a...

    Surgical tubing vs Bungee?

    Yes, you are absolutely correct, storing it after use neatly really isn't a need at all. This makes this whole thing a bit easier now. I like your stow location! Thanks!

    Surgical tubing vs Bungee?

    So can you remove it but probably not put it back in the water? Not that you'd need to.

    Reg service cost mk25/s600?

    It is what it is I guess but it did seem a little steep. My son just pulled the trigger on a complete DR set (3 stages, gauge, all hoses) for just over the cost of 2 services at that rate.

    Surgical tubing vs Bungee?

    So the last thing I'm doing upgrade my bpw is staging my safety sausage. I have room and am thinking of putting it on the right side of my waist strap. I don't want it to hang or dangle, and I don't want it out of sight in case it were to come undone. Thinking I'll put two pieces of either...

    Where are you putting your safety sausage when wearing your bpw?

    I will admit I have not been using a SS, but I want to start. I have a Transplate with 1 4lb weight pockets on each side of my waist strap. The reel I can clip off on a number of places and it won't hang or drag, the sausage I'm not so sure. Any place I clip it it seems like it will hang and...

    Transplate with the pad...

    So I've always loved my Transplate ever since I got it. But occasionally, I've had a pinch here or there when underwater with the bare plate. I just received the backplate pad, and holy cow does that feel nice now!! I've also added 2 DGX trim weight pockets (4lbs each) to the sides. They...
