Here's a press release (June 12) from the Department of Justice on a guy that just got caught illegally dealing in shark fins caught in Florida's waters: #09-584: Shark Fins Dealer Pleads Guilty to Illegally Dealing in Fins from Protected Species (2009-06-12)

(I'm sorry, I wasn't sure if it was ok to name specific companies.) It was Camera Giants. Beware!!! I looked them up on Better Business Bureau, too, and they have had over 30 complaints in the last year and have never responded to a one of them! Although, because there were no complaints...

That's exactly what happened! I googled them and sure enough, all complaints. Then, I called back today to see what they would say first and sure enough, backordered 6-8 weeks! I cancelled the order and the guy was a complete jerk. My naivety is really showing; this was a new one for me! (I'll...

I was looking for suggestions I might not have yet investigated... I was kind of looking for people to tell me their camera is the best and why... But, I went with a Canon G10 which I found for a steal online. The downside came with the required confirmation call which included an intense sales...

I was recently in Las Vegas for a conference and stayed at the Palace Hotel (ok, it was cheap!) Anyway, we were going to eat at the Chinese restaurant one night until I saw 'shark fin soup' on the menu. In my ignorance, I had no idea that it was still served in the states, thinking it was...

What would you say is the best point and shoot digital camera for macro shots? On a recent dive holiday, I rented an Olympus and was surprised with the quality of the shots I got! (I forgot the model number and am waiting to hear from the dive shop...) And I didn't use a strobe! My old...

I found a beanie recently without a chin strap. It fits great and doesn't slide around. I bought it at Conch Republic Divers' shop back in November '08. You may want to contact them and find out where they bought them from or if you can order one.

South of Koh Phi Phi is Koh Lanta, which is more laid back, but again, the boat trips... For what you are looking for and the time you have, I'd go to the Philippines. You can spend a week on each of several islands/dive spots, do a course in each one, then fly or take a ferry to the next...

Since I got no response from anyone about diving in Guadeloupe, French West Indies, I thought I would report back after diving there for future reference... The diving was good! Actually, the visibility was what was amazing. However, when even the divemasters on board were surprised at how...

Really? When? On Saturday or Sunday? That sounds wonderful...

I'll be in Guadeloupe in November for a conference and am hoping someone can give me some feedback on the diving there: recommended dive shops, spots, experiences? I'll be staying in Gossier. Many thanks!

Hi there, Also new to ScubaBoard. Looking for dive buddies, prefer to head to south Florida and dive around the Pompano/Ft Lauderdale or Riviera Beach area, but am also cavern certified for North Florida, where I live. Also looking for travel suggestions to Bonaire, which is my next...
