    Change startup logo on Scubapro/Uwatec Galileo

    I know for the Galileo SOL you can download an image using the SmartTRAK software. Look under Options -> Galileo setup.

    Thanks for sharing. I'm sure I ran into this issue, but thought it was something I caused.

    In the US, Northeast Scuba Supply has HP rubber hoses close to that length. https://northeastscubasupply.com/high-pressure-hose/

    Hotel near airport before liveaboard

    In 2017, we stayed at Ripple Beach Inn, and in 2021 we stayed at h78 at Hulhumale. Our preference is Ripple Beach because it's close to the beach. Which made it convenient to do some snorkeling and we had an ocean view.

    Chuuk/Truk Liveaboard vs. land based 2023

    My wife and I have only been to Chuuk Lagoon once in April 2018, and we stayed on the Odyssey Liveaboard. We did spend a few days at the Blue Lagoon to acclimatize and provide a buffer if we ran into any travel issues. We loved staying on the Odyssey and diving from the ship. We had Mike Gerken...

    Which straps are you referring to (i.e., shoulder vs waist)? One of my regular dive buddies changed out his harness from a large to an extra-large for when using his drysuit.

    First Time to Fiji….

    I just returned from a trip to Paradise Taveuni Resort. I truly enjoyed the diving on Rainbow Reef, Vuna Reef, and the house reef was great. The house reef was the best house reef I have dived to date in my travels. For the first half of our stay, we did two shore dives every day and saw...

    If you were wondering how to secure your cash while diving

    I have also had damp money refused on Bonaire. The whole theft angle is another problem that I've been trying to find alternatives to. A friend of mine had ~$800 stolen at the Allegro in Cozumel around 2017. He had left it in his luggage on his bed right after arriving and going for a tour of...

    Portland Area Service

    On the east side, I can personally recommend Paradise Dive and Travel in Happy Valley and Adventure Sports in Wood Village. I've used both for BC repairs; Paradise for Aqua Lung, and Adventure for Scubapro. If you want to venture north to Thunder Reefer, I have heard good things about them but...

    Flying with sorb

    I have not and wouldn't recommend it. I don't want to complicate my travels due to the TSA inspection. My RB container has always been inspected as well. Just like the sorb, I provide the same traveler information and a couple of pertinent pages from the manual. A couple of times I have gotten a...

    Hydros Pro

    My thought was at the surface it would provide better support where the BC wouldn't ride up on me. Which I prefer when waiting for the dive boat while the seas are getting angry. So, it's just a personal preference.

    Hydros Pro

    I've had mine for several years and love it as my travel open circuit BC. I don't use the weight pockets in warm water and find that the trim pockets are sufficient. If needed, I could use a weight belt. One recent addition I made was adding a crotch strap.

    Flying with sorb

    I have traveled with sorb three times, but only as a checked bag. I also included in the bag a letter detailing my flights, contact information, MSDS, a statement that it is an unopened container, and what it is used for. I know the TSA inspected it every time as there was a TSA flyer in the...

    Mounting Dive Rite Butt Plate

    I agree with SlugMug, either one should work just fine. I always order these small $ items from DGX when I purchase other higher $ items.

    Mounting Dive Rite Butt Plate

    I have the same butt plate and back plate. I use the SS quick links and it has worked fine for the past two years.

    Has anyone been on the M/V Emperor Serenity in the Maldives?

    My wife and I have been on the boat twice. The first trip was in mid-April 2017 and the second was mid-May 2021. The boat was new in 2017 and was very nice. In 2021 we noticed that the plumbing fixtures were corroded, and the water pressure wasn't as good. Most importantly, the AC worked. Of...
