This is so wise. We are in a grasshopper & ant phase. The people most likely the get the virus by not taking precautions are the grasshoppers. My suspicion is the planes, headed towards vacation sites, are filled with grasshoppers. The ants will not change the mind of the grasshoppers...

Sorry, it didn't occur to me that you were asking a bunch of scuba divers on the internet if it was safe to travel on potentially packed plane, then a bus and then a ferry to go on vacation or if 2 planes was safer. Because why would you get safety information on covid from scuba divers? Now...

Yup this happens. Mostly because this question is asked and answered at least once a week. What actually shocks me the most of the same people will answer this question each time with the patience they do rather than expect people searching on the internet to use, say, Google or the search...

What if you start to present symptoms and the airlines refuse to fly you home because they start checking everyone's temperature?

Anyone call DAN yet and ask their stance on diving and NDLs post-Covid-19 infection? I am seeing reports of heart, lung and blood vessel issues post-infection. My thoughts immediately went to diving.

Fascinating discussion and our government is not doing a great job being honest with people right now. The virus is only slowing down because people are hiding in their homes. It hasnt gone away nor is it cured. As soon as everyone goes back out, it is going to surge just as it has in the...

Or that experts warned you, and then you chose to decide it was a hoax. It is all about the decision one makes once presented with the data.

But they are now talking about a closure in August and there are whispers of a closure in April.

So does this mean the brain corals have recovered? They were nearly wiped out in November.

It is a derogatory term for entitled baby boomers.

Well... Do they not know or are they not communicating? Considering it probably impacts dive tourism I suspect you will see this announced very last minute.

Last April while I was there the corals were spawning.... I was literally just about to book a trip in August so now that's out. I'm afraid to book a trip because they keep closing the southern reefs. I was there last Nov when the Southern reefs were closed and I am never doing that again.

That is pretty rude. I have to say that 3P is quickly becoming the "OK Boomer" OP. When we were there in the fall all the regulars were having a major hissy fit because they couldn't be on the boat they wanted. In order to accommodate the Boomers, when my group of 4 were diving in the...

Sorry my statement was a metaphor. Picking either of those ops is like going to a fine restaurant yet letting each person pick their own course. Either will be awesome and well prepared. But if you don't like veal, you will never enjoy the veal dish. Each of the ops we are talking...

Last November when I was in Coz diving with 3P, I spent one surface interval tied up with an Aldora boat (which was tied to the dock) and the Blue XT Sea boat was tied to us. This has happened more than once. That is when I realized that people are each going to the same high end restaurant...

I get pesos from my local bank before my trip. Then I don't have to play any games or seek out the right ATMs in order to not be ripped off.

Be warned they closed the marine park, which has the bulk of the best sites, last November. I was there last Nov and did not enjoy it with the park closed. There are better places to visit when the park is closed.

I did it with BA IV. We did it on 24%nitrox but I set my computer for air. My max was 144 and my Perdix dipped in deco but cleared while we surfaced. I had a light with me and would recommend having a light. The dive is really a deep wall dive and no big deal if you are comfortable...

@KauaiScuba My wife has green lighted an epic 50th birthday dive trip. Question on Niihau. If I want to see monk seals, what is the best time for this inside the window of Sept-Oct-Nov? Also care to comment on how much diving one should do on a first time trip to Kauai vs other...

Unsure if this has been said, but you could always ask the OP to do AOW at the beginning of the trip. They will charge you for the training but that should cover the dives so it almost becomes a wash. But, it is best to think of AOW as an guided experienced rather than advanced training.
