    Residencias reef??

    We have always stayed and dove with Blue Angel in the past, but this trip we want to rent a condo at Reef Residencias in May and be picked up at the pier for our 4-5 days of diving. Do most operators pick up at San Francisco? We were looking at Aldora and Blue XT Sea.

    Fiji Air carry on

    Will Fiji Airways accept a backpack as personal item? I typically bring one with my laptop/Ipad, passports and items I would need during the flight. Everything I have read leads me to believe they are very restrictive. Their website denotes a personal item as a laptop or a purse.

    Rakiraki in March

    My wife and I have been looking towards a 20th anniversary trip to Fiji. Our anniversary is March 18th. After much debate I have landed on Wananavu for 7-10 days. Everything I am reading about March weather is rain which will kill visibility. My wife is dead set on doing the trip over the...

    Photos from recent Cocoview trip

    We we're there January 27th - Feb 4th. Alot of rain, but great diving. We were there the same week last year and didn't see an Eagle Ray (while diving) or a turtle. We saw both a Eagle Ray and two turtles on the first dive this year.

    Phuket/Similan Islands????

    Need to plan I and my wifes next trip to help get over Cocoview withdrawls. I had been thinking Fiji would be our next big trip, but the idea of traveling that far and spending that kind of cash to get 10 or so dives in isn't sitting well with me. I have turned my attention to Phuket via...

    Coco View A+

    My wife and I spent out first week at Coco View Jan 29th through Feb 5th. Mitch and his entire staff made our stay top notch. We were on the Coco IV with the most amazing group of people I ever expect to share a dive boat with again. Add D/M Kirk and Captain Dave to that and this will be a...

    Airline travel ???

    I booked a friends airline ticket mispelling his name "Brett" when it should be "Bret". It is for a flight within the US. Does anyone know if Delta will hit me with a change fee to fix it and is the mistake significant enough that it will prevent boarding? Thanks, Eric

    S600-Changes internally since 2001?

    I bought a S 600/MK20 used from the original owner about a year ago? I put the 600 with my MK25. I love the 600, but it continues to breathe extremely wet. I had it serviced before 1st use and my LDS scubapro tech said it was a lower model like a 250 or 500 with a 600 faceplate and reccomended...
