Hi Jan, Very nice report, I wish I had your gift of words. We just missed each other as I was there the 13-20th. Who was your Capt and DM? We found there to be a difference and hence now collect that info. I think it was the 300/C building that had the most 'interaction' with the...

Hi Andy, Thanks for correcting me. If I had to do it all over again I would have pushed for the group to go to AKR or BIBR, vice going onlong with the folks who were gun ho for Fanstasy Island. I did find out its about $20 taxi ride to ARK or BIBR to get a fill and that was the final straw...

Whats available in Roatan: BIBR has sorb (most of the time) and has O2 (95%) up to 2000 psi. AKR has tanks but you need to bring your own whip, psi will be what ever. BIBR did not have much by way of tanks to rent, but AKR had many sizes, but only onesy - twosies. Diving a Dolphin...

Regarding DCI, Barry has returned as the principle owner is and rapidily trying to restore the boat. While it remains no-frills it has improved tremendously over what it was a couple years ago. But those used to tropical tourist crews will be disappointed, I don't ever see them being that good...

Is Dive Bliss back to being operational? Any one used them lately?

Thank you for the info, you've answered most of the questions. I do have a question one the Docs here may be able to help with. Since this is a costly test, the 'justification' to the HMO needs to meet their criteria to be covered. What I was hoping to do is provide my 'primary' doc with some...

Hi all, I was not sure where to post it, but have come to have a level of trust in many of the posters to this forum. Have any of you had a PFO test? I had read that if you plan to dive deep you should have this test before doing so. When I ask my HMO doc about she was a bit...

Thanks Guys - I'll check them out.

Hello all, My new inspiration (vision) should be here in a few weeks. Unfortunately (happily) I am leaving on a dive trip to Roatan a few days later. I would like to build up my spares box prior to getting the unit. I have a few items in mind already but am having trouble locating a...

I really like my JMJ semi-dry suit. I had it custom fit and dive it most of the year in San Diego and Catalina waters. I have an integrated 3mm hood that is really nice (I hate normal hoods, and used to use a beanie instead). Not sure if there is a dealer near you, they are not well...

For medical reasons my wife cannot do a giant stride with gear on. For boat dives now she dons and doffs her gear in the water. Most times she'll just sit on the step and slide in holding the step. A side note, there can be times while diving in clear water that vertigo can set in due...

I'm sorry I've been looking for his name but can't find it. There is an ENT Dr. at scripps clinic torrey pines (next to Green Hospital). He is both a diver and and underwater photographer, and understands dive related issues and the ear (he helped me). I'm sorry I just could not remember his...

I've been a customer of both Jacks' and Konaaquatica (as well as others) There are several folks out there who can support rebreathers, Jack's is nice, and Greg will set you up, and if you're doing dive depths and times similar to OC folks that works great. Though they cater more to users...

Thanks, I'll try that!

I'm sorry I did not inquire more, he said he's been waiting since 2004 for a part and has not been able to the Prism. I did not think to ask for more details.

I'll be there that same week, same location. A bunch of us from San Diego are going. Ah warm water.

I am headed to Roatan in May and now with my new CCR I of course want to use it. It seems however that O2 fills are a lot harder to come by. Several of the resorts offer nitrox but will not do O2 fills. Do any of you have experience that you can pass on regarding getting O2 fills in Roatan...

writing this for the second time (I somehow erased the first response) so this is short-short version. Prism - I think that it is probably the best unit out there. However the long lead time and difficultly in getting parts in a timely fashion forced me to disqualify them. The thought of...

I currently use 13cu ft. I have ten 1hr+ dives on my current bottle and its still half full. The answer for you will depend on your usage per dive. Plus a seesaw profile will use it up as well. Another consideration is cost to fill, if there is no cost break between filling a 13 or a 6 then...
