Is it possible to exclude The Pub from “New Posts”? Recently it seems that posts to the Pub predominate in the new post forum. I am not suggesting that the pub should be eliminated, but perhaps it can be eliminated from the “new posts” search or individual members can have a preference setting...

About ten years ago I bought this Mares roller bag, thinking I would be doing more Southern California boat dive trips. That never did work out for me, and it was only used on a couple of trips. It is in very good shape. It worked really well on the boat, as it folds up nicely to fit under any...

I have had a Zeagle Brigade BC for 15 years. I really like this BC. Please refrain from lobbying for a change to BP&W. I have given up my beloved split fins, but that is another story. To the point of this post — I have moved the rear trim pockets onto the upper tank band and I am looking for...

My 41-year old son-in-law who lives in Dallas has expressed interest in getting certified. This will probably wind up with a referral for the OW dives after completing the book and pool work in Dallas. Any recommendations for an excellent instructor in the greater Dallas area will be appreciated.

We did the Big Island/Kona Manta Ray Night Dive with Jack’s on Oct 29th. This was our third time, the most recent in 2008. This was by far the best of the three, and kudos to DM Aly and boat captain David. The attached photos are stills from video taken by co-diver Laurel.

We have a trip planned in June 2021 to Scuba Club and I would appreciate any input on Covid operational safety by those who have stayed at Scuba Club during the past two months. Is the restaurant now open for dinner or just for breakfast and lunch? Do the dive boats operate with limited...

We received an email today letting us know that Scuba Club will be closed from today until at least May 15th.

Scubagolf + wife, Scuba Club April 2-12.

We are thinking about spending a week in mid-July in La Paz, Baja at the Costa Baja Resort & Spa. We will be diving most days, probably with The Cortez Club dive op. We have never been to La Paz. Looking at past posts it looks like the rides out to the dive sites may be long, 1-1/2 to 2 hours. I...

My wife and I (experience = 200/300 dives) are starting to plan a trip in early 2019 starting with 10-12 days topside touring Vietnam and Thailand followed by a week on a liveaboard. We are thinking a small size group tour for the Vietnam/Thailand part, and a “luxury” liveaboard, possibly in the...

I am 66 years old in good health, Rescue + Nitrox diver with 300+ dives, mostly in warm water vacation locations like Cozumel. I am a WWII history buff which makes Truk particularly attractive to me. I would like to dive Truk, and a DM I know from an earlier liveaboard trip to Palau has told me...

My wife and I (both divers) are looking for a new dive resort for a trip in April. We have been to Turneffe Island Resort and liked it a lot. Anyone recently been to Ramon's?

In 2005 I purchased Twin Jet fins that had a limited lifetime warranty. The advertising implied (at least) that they would be under warranty for my lifetime, absent misuse or abuse. Last month on a trip to the Sea of Cortez, after 250 or so dives, a seam split on the heel of one of the fins. I...

Yes, I always check "keep me logged on." Since the new update I have to log on to my iPhone 6 any time I am off for more than a few minutes. Any ideas?

Our LDS is doing a trip to the Villa on Dunbar Rock in Guanaja, Honduras in late March 2016. My wife and I are both interested in doing this trip but I can't find any recent posts on SB about this place. Any comments from people who have been there during the past couple of years would be very...

This small island resort is located about 90 minutes by boat southeast of Belize City on the southern most area of the Turneffe Atoll. We stayed 11 nights at TIR, arriving on Saturday and departing on Wednesday.The accommodations are either in stand alone villas or in a two story building with...

Small resort so it's unlikely, but is anybody else on SB at TIR Nov 29 - Dec 10?

Small resort so it's unlikely, but is anybody else on SB at TIR the week of April 12-19?

This was supposed to be a two destination report for a two week trip with our LDS to Palau and Yap. The good news is we spent the first week on the Palau Siren and had a fantastic week of sailing and diving. The Siren is truly a first class live-aboard. Everything from the cabins to the food...

My wife and I are going on a two week dive trip to Palau and Yap in late March and early April. We will be on the Palau Siren the first week, and then staying at the Manta Ray Bay Hotel on Yap for the second week. According to the United website each economy passenger gets one "free" 50# bag...
