    How to find a baby sitter in Isla Mujeras (while I'm diving)?

    Sorry, slightly off topic, but this DOES relate to diving! So we're coming to Isla Mujeras (tiny island near Cancun) in December. It'll be my wife, two small girls, and me. While I'm diving, I'd like to get someone to help my wife with the kids. Just help, they don't have to watch them all...

    Ikelite 6081 Video Housing for Canon HD HG20/HG21 Camcorder

    I have a Ikelite 6081 camcorder housing for sale. It's designed for the Canon HG20 or HG21 HD camcorder. My HG20 broke, was under warranty so Best Buy replaced it with a newer model but it doesn't fit this Ikelite housing. So I'm stuck with a housing without a camera. The Ikelite is in...

    Kauai Dive Buddy or Guide Nov 30 - Dec 7

    I'll be coming to Kauai Nov 30 - Dec 7 with my family. None of them are divers. I'm looking for a dive buddy or a local guide to do one or two shore dives with. I'll do a couple boat dives as well. If not a dive buddy, I'm open to paying a dive guide. I have a list of the usual dive ops in...

    Anyone from the SF Bay Area willilng to fetch me some souvenirs from the ABC's?

    Anyone from the SF Bay Area going to Curacao, Bonaire, or Aruba willing to fetch me some souvenirs? I'll pay double for your trouble :) Maybe this can be shipped, but it involves alcohol and I don't think you're supposed to ship that. PM me - sorry for the irrelevant topic.

    Diving with Scuba Caribe in Playa del Carmen

    I just got back from a week in Playa del Carmen and mostly dove with Scuba Caribe who's the operator at the hotel. I picked them because I only wanted to do one tank per day so I could spend more time with my family, and Scuba Carbie seems like the only ones that do this. The other reason is...

    Anything like Cozumel Palace outside of Cozumel

    Does anyone know of a good all inclusive, at least at the level of Cozumel Palace, outside of Cozumel, somewhere with great diving, also somewhere close to North America (can't handle super long flights to Asia). My wife and I really love Cozumel Palace, but we've been too Cozumel so many...

    Curacao anyone?

    I'm looking to go to Curacao in the next couple months wanted to see if any Sb'ers were planning on going and would like to do some shore dives. I haven't bought tickets yet, but was hoping to buy something before the Curacao Now deal expires (3/15).

    Curacao: West or East side for shore diving?

    So now we've settled on Curacao over Bonaire and now I'm trying to decide which end of Curacao to stay on. I stayed in Westpunt before, at the Lodge Kura Hulanda. I liked it a lot, but the only problem was it was so far from town and my wife likes to do town stuff. I actually liked it on...

    Curacao Marine Life vs. Bonaire?

    OK - before some guy asks me to search the forums I already did and read a Curacao vs. Bonaire thread already, but didn't find an answer to this specific question. So I'm trying to plan my next trip and am thinking about going back to Curacao. I want to also go to Bonaire but the hangup...

    Cozumel Trip Report - Scuba with Alison

    This is my 3rd time in Cozumel and I think I've wrote a report or two on it already. Besides, there are so many Cozumel trip reports I'm not sure I can add much, but I'll give a little review about the operator I used that I don't think gets enough attention here on SB. We planned this trip...

    Zamami / Okinawa Dive Report

    We visited Okinawa for about a week in June 2009 for some diving. Previous to this trip there didn’t seem to be much information in English on diving in Okinawa so I’m going to try to post a fairly detailed review. I also recorded most of the diving, but unfortunately did not...

    TUSA RS-110 - Micro Review

    I'm just going to post a micro-review on the TUSA RS-110 that I rented in-case someone is considering buying it and stumbles across this post somehow. First of all, I have my own regulator, an Aqua Lung Legend. I did a series of dives earlier in the week, washed and dried all my equipment and...

    Best Fins under $80?

    I'm going to buy some fins as a gift for a couple of people because they're getting certified. They're not sure if they're going to stick with it so it might be a waste to spend $150+ (especially since it's my money!). I've browsed quite a bit here, there seems to be lots of debate about...

    Is Okinawa Worth It?

    We're going to Japan in a couple of months for some family stuff and started considering taking a detour to Okinawa or one of its surrounding islands for about 5 days of diving. Since we already have 3 cities to visit in Japan with an infant, my question is "Is Okinawa diving so spectacular...

    Trip Report - Cozumel Palace + Aqua Safari

    I just got back from a week long dive trip. I stayed at Cozumel Palace and dove with Aqua Safari. For some reason I thought there would be significant added convenience diving with Aqua Safari, the in-house dive shop, but that's really not the case. I did email a couple other operators that...

    Is Oahu Diving Any Good?

    I'm in the process of planning a dive trip. We just had a baby a couple months ago and we want to keep the flight as short as possible and ideally a direct flight. We're in California so Honolulu would fit that requirement for us. I've been to Maui and the diving there is pretty good. I've...

    Here's a quick report about my recent dive trip to Curacao. Hotel We stayed at the Lodge Kura Hulanda. My wife doesn't dive so she needs a nice place to hang while I'm out most of the day. Super nice resort, friendly staff, ocean front rooms are super nice, garden views are fine if...

    I'll be going to Curacao from Sept 3 - 12 and am looking for a dive buddy. My wife is coming along, but she doesn't dive. I'll be staying at the Lodge Kura Hulanda, west side of Curacao, but will have a car and can probably get to most places.

    Brief Maui Dive Operator Review

    I just spent a week in Maui and took the advice of a lot of posters here on Scubaboard on which operators to dive with. I stayed in Wailea, just a few minutes under Kihea so I could be close to Molokini. I dove with Ed Robinson’s, Shaka Divers, Extended Horizons (based in Lahaina and...
