And yes transfers are insanely expensive. Thankfully I had someone picking me up.

Yes in March right as they were opening. Avoid at all costs. Long story short my bag didn’t make a connection (domestic within Mexico) and took three full days to get it even though it made it to Tulum later the day I arrived. That airport was absolutely not ready for prime time and I’ll...

Not true. Source: me dealing directly with DUI in-person

also a plug for Santi who then made me both a suit and undergarment from my at-home measurements that fit like I should be walking the Met gala in them 🤵‍♂️

Are you sure it’s a knock off and not genuine DUI? Sounds about the same fit as the garbage “MTM” that I wasted 4 grand on from them

No foam is the only way I get both in.

Nothing in the these photos included, just showing how cool your kit could look in this wing! Pinniped sold separately.

Halcyon Evolve wing, 60lb lift. In great shape minus a few faint smudges of shipwreck on the sides and a bit from the corrugate hose rubbing on the gusset. Don't need a wing this large anymore now that I've crossed to the silent side. $400 OBO. Aqua front, Yellow gusset, Shocking Pink...

The 90 liter.

Y'all obv haven't had to negotiate Lufthansa's wheel of fortune where every 4 slices is "Go on strike". One of their 24 hr strikes left me stranded in Egypt and I had to find my own way home. And then threaten legal action after several months to get my money refunded.

Mexico "TSA" often doesn't like regs and no one likes reels/spools. I also had issues in Zurich IIRC? So I check everything heavy now. Black Diamond Stonehauler duffels are burly AF (made for climbing gear which is also hard and heavy like dive gear) and slightly less flashy then Patagonia's...

So traumatic, in fact, that decade(s) later it's brought up at every possibility. Yet somehow not traumatic enough to be able to remember the name of the hazing instructor(s). Sample sizes 😂 n=1: "fundies is a fraternity-style hazing audition"; n significantly >1: "just show up ready to...

Hint, the implication is that it's not for the reg...

I have an UWLD that I love for ocean diving, it's a fantastic light. But TBH I don't really like it in caves of wrecks. The pattern is too broad for clear signaling in small spaces and does too good a job of spilling light everywhere. I didn't even bother bringing it with me on a trip to MX...

I dove D12s (Worthingtons) with an Evolve 60 for non-tech dives and it works, just a little on the annoyingly big side and if you only have a little gas in it the bubble gurgles around but it works fine otherwise.

I'm on a FB hiatus so can't see recent activity at the moment but if you're not aware, say hi on the SDUE group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/SDUEx)

From SCUBA diver to HABA climber! Back on topic re: carts, if there's a trail wide enough, I've seen photos recently of I think the Protec guys using big dual-wheeled plastic wheelbarrow/tote carts for many tanks, and jokingly people as well.

If only I were a songwriter! "Tell me where you want to go, I'll take you there" 🙃

Not a matter of political correctness, just pointing out the difference between the two for anyone interested in being more accurate in their use of language. A "local mountain guide or porter" is certainly not someone carrying AL80s through the jungle. (And TIL about the G7, but again I don't...

Nope still not it. Scuba porter yes, scuba sherpa no. Wasn't just directing my comment at you btw haha
