As a tangent, I'm wondering what a provoked bite would be other than the obvious. I just mention this because it seems unnecessary to call out unprovoked as so many are as to make it only appropriate to call out provoked.

Check a bag. I am on the West coast but expect you will likely end up going to Hawaii then Guam to get there. Palau is great with lots of wall dives. Many liveaboards anchor in German Channel and then dive 360 degrees around them. Beautiful place and yes, liveaboards are great. I like it...

I seen it ...oops, that's my own not dive related peeve

Multiple wetsuits? Wow, I only have room/weight for one... Priorities I guess.

Thanks for the trip report. Sounds like you had a good liveaboard trip other than leaving early. Nothing beats nothing to do but dive, enjoy the view, then dive again. I do like erring on the side of not testing a hurricane but could imagine it sucked sitting in port in good weather. To...

<<I do, however, despise having to be exposed to someone’s nasty, filthy habit.>> Same goes for on land too. I didn't know how good I had it here until I went to Europe where you can smoke in the outdoor portion of any restaurant. And the % of smokers there seemed higher than Asia which is...

Irregardless. :-)

@brownie If your flight is not late, you'll have lots of time and have time to kill. Even if your flight is 2 hours late, you should still have plenty of time to get over to the terminal and gate. My 6 hour early arrival was much overkill as we had time to wait. The central area had some...

@brownie I arrived to LAX with 6 hours before the Fiji departure. Gobs of time. My flight left from one of the even numbered 200 gates. I think 202, could have been 206. Looking at this map on flylax.com: https://www.flylax.com/-/media/flylax/terminal-map-files/tbit.ashx We entered what 's...

Answers first: 1. By actual connection time I think you are referring to how long to get from Terminal 6 to the gate at Tom Bradley terminal. Seemed like at least 30 mins just to get to Tom Bradley terminal, then probably at least 15 to get to the gate itself once we knew which gate it was at...

@brownie My domestic flight to LAX and then onto Fiji were all booked as one through Fiji Airways. As I described, we could only get the domestic boarding pass at the airport on the day of the flight and the Fiji Airways pass from Fiji Airways. We also arrived at Terminal 6 and then had to go...

I recently returned from Fiji via LAX. I would second just buying the Fiji-Care insurance to guarantee they get exactly what they want to see for a relatively small price ($40 per person for my stay). My certificate snippet below shows it has a breakdown of the coverages. They will ask for...

Im just wondering about Dons brothers 3 legged girl.

Trolling for divers... I'm wondering what the barrel looking things are...

Another "no response from Aggressor" story. But a 50% off take a chance on a different trip coupon this time. You did not mention whether the coupon has an expiration date. 1 year?

I'd like to see any pics of Sam from back in the day using the latest gear from that time. Sam illustrated the vast store of knowledge and memories stored in peoples minds.

Thanks all for the tips and link. It is not an open wound so I hope to avoid the scary description about necrosis though sounds like it will be blisters which I will follow Divers Alert Network info about. I brought Benedryl but left the hydrocortisone cream I actually have at home. Getting...

A pic

Question about treatment of a coral cut: About 4-5 days ago, I scraped my knee on coral on the bottom in Fiji. No idea what kind except not a staghorn stle coral. Got a very small cut that bled a little, but also a pattern of about 10 dot abrasions. I'm wondering about care for the dot...

When you get off the plane in Papeete, look out at the island. That's Moorea. It's that close, though it still takes a little time to get back and forth. Flights might also go out of Papeete so you may have to roundtrip each island from Papeete to get to the next. Generally what ColoDale...
