I used to have one of those. I don’t think this can be a straight bulb replacement, more like an electronics project involving new/hacked guts. (Did that once long ago converting a old 4C light to a 3C UV LED light, after learning here of a partly drop in solution. But I did it more to get a...

Yes, I meant to reply to you. But I guess maybe more to @Umuntu. My point was, its easy to say take it to a shop you trust. But how do you figure that out? Don’t ding someone for asking here.

It’s a second opinion of sorts, what’s wrong with that? Like “does this sound right?”There are actually people on here that know what they’re talking about, while not every dive shop is competent. If they didn’t have it serviced and something went wrong, someone would be here saying just the...

Yeah I know you can stay out thete. I meant for all the people on Ambergris trying to go out there.

Oops. Too many incidents. ;(

BH is a long pricey trip from San Pedro. What many will say is it’s worth it for the other dives they will do in the area. From what I’ve always heard, those should be much better dives than around San Pedro. (It's a shame no one offers 3 tanks out there without doing the BH, but I guess they...

I love durian but I’ve never eaten it straight. Maybe its all in the preparation. I’ve always had it in various deserts at dimsum places. Also durian ice cream and some other stuff in Jakarta.

I remember the beach being narrow but nice enough. All the public areas of the hotel- pool restaurants etc. have been turned into some kind of beach club so I dunno what its all like now.

We did a 4 night liveaboard from Cairns and mostly dove some of the ribbon reefs, which were certainly better. Would have preferred a 7 night but wasn’t availability when we needed. We haven’t gotten back. But there is other non-LOB diving that sounds pretty good, like the islands I mentioned...

Well I wasn’t impressed by the dives I did in that area. I imagine it was very nice once but the areas close to Cairns have been heavily dove for years and looked pretty beat to me even years ago. So just skeptical of claims like “best GBR has to offer”. It is what it is and may suit you fine...

Where else have you been diving? The 2day/1night trips from Cairns I imagine your are looking at are unlikely to give you the dive experience of a lifetime. You need to get further than they can go to get to the better stuff from Cairns, at least a 3-4 night LOB. Not that you shouldn’t do it...

We stayed at Kura Hulanda Lodge a few times before it closed and mutated into other things. But not Marazul so of no help there.

It could be either or both. You should always get them serviced together, surprised your tech guy didn’t say this. Take your first stage in while the seconds are still there. You said you bought a new first, was it because of this? What you have may be fine after service.

I had a curved plastic mask when I was a kid that I used in the pool. It was kinda weird.

We did a similar thing many years ago, with business in Gold Coast which is an easy hourish train ride from Brisbane. Wanted to do a 7 night liveaboard from Cairns but couldn’t make scheduling and availability work. Wound up on a 3 night liveaboard (Taka - long gone) that did southern ribbon...

So clearly it wasn't a private boat just for your class. I've been on plenty of boats where an instructor had a couple of students, and there were other people on the boat simply to go diving or bubblewatch or whatever. I'm going to go off with my buddy and do my thing, and the class taking...

The Atlantis resorts seem to cater heavily to US customers, and charge US prices. But they do a really good job of customer service and logistics and everything. Makes it easy for a shop to run a trip that will go well without much effort. Or for individuals to do the same. But not as good a...

The receipts are pretty meaningless at this point.

It was a long time ago but the house reef at PPR was really good. So many giant clams, actually you could see alot snorkeling. Splash dive center is there, We were staying there and they were happy to just rent us tanks and point out the way to go. I’m not sure but I don’t think you need to be...
