    Anyone got info on the French Polynesia Master liveaboard, launching 2016?

    Any news on this liveaboard? The website does not have really new information. Seems that they are doing the first trip in December of this year. Is it still on schedule? Is the boat out of fry dock?

    TSandM -- Lynne Flaherty

    Such a tragedy. Her posts shaped in many ways my approach to diving and the choices I have made in my diving career. I know she loved diving in my neck of the woods and I was hoping to meet her one day, diving at Point Lobos. Sincere condolences to you Peter.

    French Polynesia

    Sorry to revive my old thread. It seems that a liveaboard is going to start operating in the Tuamotus (Master Liveaboards » French Polynesia) in 2016 with a 10-day itinerary between Rangiroa and Fakarawa. It is a little pricey but may be worth it. What is the best time of the year to dive in...

    Scooter Diving with Sea Lions Video

    Hi Jon. Would you also recommend the 600 for diving with doubles and deco bottles? I was looking at the tahoe benchmark 2011 but it only shows data for the 1200 when dived in the tech configuration

    Scooter Diving with Sea Lions Video

    I am planning to take a DPV class soon and have been looking at your DPVs. The price difference between the 600 and 1200 is only $1K and I was wondering what would be the reason to get a 600 over a 1200 beside being able to transport the batteries on an airplane. I would hate to buy a 600 and...

    Dive Safari with Sea Explorers

    Hi everyone: I am planning a dive safari in the Visayas in May 2016 for my dive club. I am considering using Sea Explorers and dive in Malapascua, Cabilao, and Dauin. There are relatively few reviews of Sea Explorers out there and would appreciate any feedback if you have used them in the past...

    Anyone have experience with GUE Rec 2&3?

    This is exactly why I took the course. I personally enjoyed the course and I think that it will allow me to develop the skill sets necessary to take the Tech 1 class in the future.

    French Polynesia

    I am planning a trip to French Polynesia. I am thinking of hitting rangiroa and fakarava in the tuamotus, but would also like to hit some of the society islands. Any recommendations on which society islands to visit? Is staying 4 days at 4 different locations too ambitious for a 2-week trip...

    Marketing: Are we ok, or do we need help?

    Nailed it! From my short experience as a diver, the quality of the customer service offered by many in the US is simply subpar. The businesses that are successful and that have survived are the ones that have made the conscious decision to put the diver at the center of their business focus.

    San Nicolas

    Hi SoCal Divers: Would be interested in hearing about your experience diving San Nicolas. I have done some googling but there is very little information out there. I understand that it is rarely dived due to weather and navy, and I am wondering how it compares to some of the other Channel...

    "Does This Island Go To The Bottom?" A novel

    I read this book almost in its entirety and it is not for the faint of heart. Disturbing on so many levels. A rather sobering view on the scuba industry and dive 'professionals' narrated by the author.

    Water temperature difference between ocean and cenotes

    Hello: I am going to Cozumel in early May and plan to do a few dives in the cenotes. I was just wondering about water temperature differences between the ocean and the cenotes. I tend to get cold easily so I am wondering whether additional exposure protection would be appropriate. Thanks...

    Palau/Truk and Yap or Kosrae?

    Thanks all for the feedback. How's the diving in yap besides the mantas? While I love mantas, I have been lucky to dive with them several times and therefore this would not be the only reason for me to dive yap. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
