I think getting colored gear is a great idea for underwater identification and preventing loss topside.

We are frequent guests at Lions Dive. Great onsite dive op.

Tolerance to water temps varies dramatically among divers. It might be more useful to find out what the water temps are. If its 85 degrees, you know what you need to wear to be comfortable. In 80 degree water, I'm good with a 3 mill, my usual dive buddy wears a 5 mill, and other folks will dive...

I shoot Sony A7R3 in Sea and Sea housing. This configuration is out of your budget range, and may be overkill for your application. Do you need interchangeable lens camera? If not, there are several good choices with fixed lens. Does it have to be high resolution? 10 years ago, 12 mpix cameras...

Take photos of your cards, and passport, front and back. That's good enough in most cases. If you need a replacement physical card, go to Staples, copy front and back and laminate.

Grand Cayman has some decent shore diving as well as boat dives. Kittiwake is worth doing, once, but nothing special as wrecks go. My favorite shore dives are Sunset House house reef, Eden Rock/Devils Grotto and Maccabucca. Note that you need to rent tanks on site for any of the shore dives...

+1 Dive Bus to Tug Boat, Director's Bay, their House Reef, etc. Food and Drinks in town: Gouverneur Pub Wine Cellar for fine dining Fish and Joy small plates Mundo Bizarro funky spot

There's no magic number, beyond the minimum specified by PADI. You sound pretty committed so I would say go for it whenever it fits your schedule. Just realize that just because you meet the certification requirements, you don't stop learning. Dive training is important, but experience gained...

Just back from trip to BON and can recommend Bonaire Blond Brewery in town, for large beer selection, good food, nice back garden seating and attentive wait staff.

Also, some cameras allow you to zoom in on the EVF.

DIN with yoke adapter here. If available, I'll ask for DIN valve. Seems more secure connection. But I just want to dive, so I pop on the adapter if it's a hassle for the op.

I bought a 3 mm Thermaxx titanium "fire fleece" to replace my ancient 3 mm Merino-lined Pinnacle. The Henderson is much more flexible, easier to don and doff, slightly larger for the same XL size. I thought the Pinnacle might be very slightly warmer. I was happy with the Pinnacle for many years...

So diving in a dry suit is different from wet suit diving in important ways. You need to learn how to dive safely in a dry suit and how to properly maintain it, what undergarments to use, how to adjust for a "squeeze" and balance buoyancy between the gas in the suit and in your BCD or wing. Can...

So I have mine tied to a bolt snap and clipped on to a D ring on my right webbing strap at chest level . There's a small piece of velcro which keeps the torch tight to the webbing. I can turn it on with either hand and point it without unclipping if I need it quickly. If I want to hand it off, I...

I have dived many times while on a cruise (although not in the Caribbean) and can also recommend that you book dives and transportation yourself directly through dive shops, rather than use the cruise line services. I've been to all of the islands you will visit, but have dived only in St.Croix...

Is there a cold shoe mount that would work with this light?

+1 on Pura Vida... located on Singer Island. They can give you info on BHB dives and boat diving. Thursday night black water dives.

We have Hollis semidry. very happy with it. No experience with Apeks
