Have you considered the Discovery boats? We took a week on the Discovery 2 in March and we liked it for a budget operation. Ironically, we are considering the Tillis for our next trip.We want that 50 diver minimum and the southern route. Great advice on the above deck cabin. We were below...

Thanks! We will go on this trip eventually, but decided to go to the Red Sea this time instead (My dive buddy is in the Netherlands, and he is short on time). I'm definitely looking to do this trip in the future though.

Thanks! I'm fine with not diving St. Maarten. The trip itself is plenty of dives, and there must be a reason why all the dives are done near Saba and St. Kitts. Will review the previous trip reports now. Flights into St. Maarten and out of St. Kitts are very reasonable on JetBlue, and the...

We have the chance to hop on the southbound St. Maarten, Saba, St. Kitt's live aboard in March. We've been to Curacao, Bonaire and Cozumel extensively, but am looking for something else for a week long trip. We've previously only liveaboards in Thailand and the Philippines. Has anyone been on...

Interesting to read all these issues. I bought my Teric in 2020 and have had the same issues as everyone else (came up about 18 months after first using it), but unfortunately never did anything about it, since I go on about 2 dive trips a year. I pretty much need to recharge after every day...

For iOS, MacDive is my (much) preferred dive log over shearwater's own. Very user friendly, and uploads take seconds.

Sounds like an ideal trip. Who did you end up booking your dives with?

I just came back this Sunday (11/19). Ferry was 260 pesos. Bus was 240 pesos. So 500 between the two. I always come home with about 2,000 pesos, so I can hit the ground running next time I arrive. Then when I get to the island I hit the Santander bank (downtown or inside mega) the following...

We seem to like this week: Fly in on 11/11 Ride the Gran Fondo on 11/12 (one loop of the island). Dive with Punta Sur Divers 11/13-11/18 Fly home on 11/19 Staying in a variety of houses in town and riding bicycles to the marina every morning. Give us a honk if you drive by.

Especially with the way US layover airports have been this year, I much prefer a non stop flight to/from CUN and then the bus/ferry. This is especially true for me on the way back, when any flight back to NYC out of CZM gets in late (if it all), while I can get back to NY early evening by doing...

I used to pay $6.50 per person per night when I stayed. Adults only.

The PuntaSur dive is around 5AM, and does get back to the dock at 7AM to pick up the "normal" passengers for an 8AM departure, but this is really a night dive, that ends at sunrise. We've had remote workers hop on this dive before logging on for the day.

One thing to note: The baggage handlers at the ferry companies have been giving me a hard time about my 48-50 pound dive bag on the last few drags. I've been able to get it on board and picked back up with 20-40 peso tips on each end, but it made me wonder what the actual bag weight limit is for...

I would check with the dive shop you are diving with. I pay in mine in USD and many others do as well. They get stacks of $20's and $100's

I loved their tank fills, the price, their drive through location, the lack of anything more than we needed, and the simplicity of it all. No real vibe. Just tank fills.

Thanks for this post guys. I'm trying to rent local instead of the big national places and was actually concerned the other way, with the locals not having on airport facilities. I just booked with D and D. Are their facilities close, and the airport pickup pretty easy?

November 12-18 staying in Centro in an apt and diving with Punta Sur Divers

Thanks guys. Some scraping, and then a nail and hammer did the trick.

Hi gang, I purchased a used Zeagle Concept for my son from eBay and it showed up in great shape, but with an Air2 (3rd Generation) attached. I have no idea if the Air2 is operational, and am removing it. As he is a beginning diver (25+ dives), I would prefer he dives with a standard inflator, so...

Mine says: keesmon@gmai I figured an honest finder would have no trouble with that
