The Paradise Reef night dive is the BEST night dive I have done anywhere in the world.

What makes tanks "O2 clean" is the washing process, not the tumbling media. Otherwise, what Still Kicking wrote. I used an ultrasonic machine for cleaning my valves.

I always travel business class. I get two free 70-pound (32-kg) checked bags and more overhead space that I will ever use. Plus all of the other perks of flying business class that make it all worthwhile when traveling long distances.

As far as DCS is concerned: It's all about the pressure of the gas you are BREATHING. NOT the pressure on your body.

You can tell your weight is correct if you have water in your BC back on the boat. Let me explain. Towards the end of the dive, I am dumping air from my BC. My BC is empty the last 15 minutes of a typical reef dive. As I ascend to the safety stop, I find myself trying to dump just a little...

We stayed at Buddy's Dive Resort. We had a "home invasion" in our hotel room while we were there. I don't consider Bonaire completely safe. I'd go back, but I'd stay at a more exclusive walled-in resort with security.

My Halcyon balanced p-valve always leaked a little urine, so I turned it into an unbalanced p-valve. Problem solved.

Beware, petty crime in Bonaire is, and always been, out of control. Anything not left in a safe or behind a locked hotel door will get stolen. Do not leave anything unattended in your vehicle, and leave your vehicle unlocked so the thieves don't break a window.

LOL Clearly you've never been diving around the Tulum area. Tulum has the best diving in the world.

OctopusLover you did great. Good decision-making.

Underwater is no different than underwater. Well, not much different. Without a video light or flash, you're limited to natural light. No big deal, you just have to manually adjust the white balance before each shot. Get yourself a white balance card around 4x6 inches and clip it to your BC. I...

Do you keep a dive logbook? I use my logbook to keep track of the weight that I use with different wetsuits and tanks.

Good info

Reels are prone to tangling and falling apart. Spools are foolproof.

Hello! I would LOVE to take a trip to Cuba. Hopefully we will continue to have reasonable presidents here in the USA so it will be easier to visit your country.

You don't know if you don't go Know the dive laws regarding access, diving, and dive flags. Can the dive flags be towed? Do the dive flags need to remain anchored? Etc.

I lived a mile from DP for many years.....

I hear Deception Pass is a great place for diving, LOL

IF THE SHIP IS ROCKIN' THEN DON'T COME KNOCKINIG!

Fly business class. You can sleep lying flat on the aircraft. Great in-flight meals and free drinks. More overhead storage than you can use. Two free checked bags. During layovers, you have free use of the first class lounge. Quiet, big comfortable chairs. Good WiFi. You can take showers and...
