    Saba, Sint Eustatius (Statia) WinAir Baggage

    I have been to Saba many times and a combo os Saba and Statia once. I had trouble once leaving Statia. Winair claimed there was weather stopping the incoming flight but it was a clear day. They made us leave everything behind except carryon to board the late flight. It took me 3 months to...

    Manta Ray Bay-Yap review

    Manta Ray Bay Resort, Yap. Great staff at the resort, restaurant, dive shop, everywhere just super friendly. Bill and his team have really set a high bar in such an off the beaten path area. The diving was just super with the Captain and DM (Gordon) totally flexible and helpful in finding...

    Palau & Yap April, 2013 Questions

    3 days minimum on Yap. You'll want to do the Manta cleaning station and some of the more remote dives. We just got back from a week there and didn't scratch the surface of all the sites. Amazing place. We stayed at Manta Ray Bay and it was super. Really a great dive operation and a super...

    Info on St. Eustatius or Statia

    Take a gander earlier in the thread. I think I talked a fair amount about the trip. To add to the discussion though the island is super laid back. We stayed at the Old Gin House which is run by a young dutch couple and really work hard to provide you whatever you need. The rooms were great...

    February in Cozumel

    I don't think anyone is getting anywhere if you have to go through OHare. I have 2 guys working in Fort Worth and they've declared a state of emergency in the North of TX. Rolling blackouts from the power company, etc. Too much for a state that far south.

    Decent budget places in Curacao & Bonaire

    Where on Curacao would you stay/dive with if you wanted to feel away from it all? Most the dive magazine show a splashier (not water) side. I prefer a laid back island but my usual group has a couple of non-divers who would like some civilization.

    Travel Advise

    I wasn't sure where to post this so I'll try here. Back in October I did a 2 week trip between Saba and Statia. Getting out of Statia Winair claimed there was weather and the plane was late (sunny with a light breeze on the island). So all bags were left behind to follow us. Of course my bag...

    Good tropical diving closer to the US

    Saba or Statia. You can get to both quick through St. Marteen.

    Intensive Caribbean diving - where?

    Roatan, you can dive your brains out there. 3 Boat dives and unlimited shore diving at Fantasy Island. Go for it.

    Some of the things that make Seahunt fun.

    I got the full series for Xmas this year and watch a few episodes every few weeks. My favorite one so far is when Mike is testing a sonar system and to prove its accuracy to some fisherman he spots a 6 or 7 foot shark. Mike dives down to bring it up. The shark the diver nets is about 11/2 ft...

    Info on St. Eustatius or Statia

    I agree with Glenn on starting on Statia. I did Saba and Statia in October, a week on each. There were plenty of dive sites i did not get to on Statia so even a week isn't really enough time to take in all of the dive sites. Due to scheduling issues on Saba we ended up diving there first...
