    Considering Curacao and have questions....

    i cannot speak for ocean encounters west since they seem to be not as integrated into the ocean encounters family as the other locations (ocean encounters curacao). we did two boat trips with ocean encounters curacao last week. one of them was great (musroom forest) and the other one was...

    Considering Curacao and have questions....

    we just came back from curacao and i'll second cheddarchicks comments completely. we stayed at the hilton (on hilton points....). this place has also seen better times but it is still ok. as with all these places, room for dive gear is an issue but the balconies are big and stuff dried outside...

    Book Review: Titanic's Last Secrets

    great book and well written. it took me back in time. my only "criticism' would be that it ended too quick. since the britannic expedition seemed to reveal the support for the theory, i wished it was covered more in the book. i am aware that the book is about the titanic and not the...

    How often are you asked for C-card and/or dive log?

    i've never been asked to show my log and i normally only show my aow and my nitrox card if people don't know me. i also carry my solo card just in case i need it. so far i have always had to show a c-card except on a liveaboard trip in the red sea. i was the only one diving the occasional...

    Need advice for diving in Maldives

    i have only done liveaboard in the maldives. the operator was maldive scuba tours, an excellent british-run operation (Maldives Scuba Diving Tours are leading experts on liveaboards and diving holidays worldwide). the experience level on the boat was mixed, however it seems to be suggested that...

    SDI Solo Diver course

    i like that. my instructor went above and beyond the course outline and i enjoyed it very much. the course does not make a solo diver at all and it puts emphasis on things you should already live and breath if you ever REALLY thought about going solo. nevertheless, there is always something...

    Trade for Tek Gear: Japanese Sword/Katana

    true. i bought an "authentic replica" (=a recently made katana made after a historical one) in japan and they were not able to hand it to me. the only viable option was for the shop to officially export it and ship it abroad. and yes, it sent me back a few bucks (at a time when the exchange...

    U-853?

    i went with ocean state scuba a few years ago. unfortunately the shop has closed after owner david swain (our skipper at that time) got extradited to the british virgin islands for allegedly murdering his wife. great dive though.

    Dui 450clx

    i'll second above post. i also have the fourth element which is great (keep in mind the layering comment above). when i go ice diving however, i use the weezle extreme + jumpsuit. it's way more bulky but its worth it. the big leg pockets are worth their weight in gold. i have added some...
