We went for the schooling hammerheads. But we were too late or the water was too warm. Saw one hammerhead. Ambon is a filthy third-world industrial cesspool. But the food was out of this world. We ate from street vendors most of the time. It was WOW. We stayed in Ambon for 4 days. Yeah, lots...

Currently on our last leg home from Coz on American Airlines. No complaints here. Business class was $700 each. We each got two free 70-pound checked bags. Good food and free alcohol on the flight. I had 4 Bloody Marys between Miami and Coz. On layovers we had free use of the Miami Admiral's...

Now you tell me

You wanna carry that much lead back to the sump? Or do you have sump monkeys carry all your gear for you?

AquaSeal There is no other Dries flexible and strong

If you're going that thick, you might as well go to a drysuit. There's no point in having a 7-8mm wetsuit unless you're snorkeling or surfing on the surface. If you want to scuba dive cold water, and not wear 50 pounds of lead, then get a drysuit.

Been going to Coz for 20 years, tried several dive ops and hotels. We always fall back on Scuba Club as the reliable place to go, sometimes 3 times a year. Taxi rip-off? Dude, I waste more money every day on cerveza and ceviche than I would save on using one taxi versus another. Taxi fare is...

If you're in a hurry, then why are you going to Cozumel?

Because iPhones are overhyped and iPhones suck. There. I said it.

Liveaboard destinations with fairly easy travel Galapagos - land-based diving with land excursions, or liveaboard Red Sea - I have not been there Hawaii - the Kona shore has a lot of shore diving Bermuda - I have not been there Mexico - Baja/west coast Liveaboard destinations with +/-24 hours...

Ditto. I would have shot the SMB right away and had a merry solo dive.

I'd like to point out the obvious... I dove for a decade without a computer. Believe it or not, it is possible to dive without a computer.

I'll sell you mine Like new

I would worry ONLY if the airline is Cayman Airways. Then I would worry not only about your luggage, but I would worry about your reservations, your flights being on time, and making connections. If a Cayman Airways flight is delayed, and you miss a connection onto a subsequent Cayman Airways...

You can't leave the kids at home with a relative?

It's also the intangibles. During a layover, I can lay back and rest in a big comfortable chair in a quiet uncrowded lounge, with all the food and drink I want just steps away. Versus sitting an uncomfortable chair by the gate with all the noise of overhead announcements, reflected sound...

I keep my spool and SMB in my pocket

Recently I started flying business class. I can check two 70-pound bags for free, there's always more overhead space than I can use. I can sleep lying flat. On layovers I can use the airline lounges, where I get free showers, free food, and free beer. It's totally worth the extra ticket cost for...

Friends don't let friends buy anything OMS. Get fins that permit a wide variety of finning techniques. That excludes free-diving fins, force fins, split fins, etc. Get a classic paddle fin with a spring heel. GoSport fins are lightweight and are fine for warm-water single-tank wetsuit diving...
