Cool. Thank you, I will check it out

Oh, and at the end of my stay, I will take the ferry to Utila.

Thanks to you both. Sorry for the lack of details. 1. Going to a private island in Utila that I have visited before and as I am now flying through Roatan, vs San Pedro Sula, thought it would be cool to extend and spend some time in Roatan. I have never been to Roatan. 2. Plan to stay 3-4 days...

Any recommendations for Roatan in July other than Anthony’s Key Resort? Just looking for a 3-4 days of diving for 3 before heading to another island

I too fear for the future of lobs in California. Very thin profit margins, the Great Escape, a well set up LOB became a fishing boat after its captain passed away. I love the channel island trips but lately, unless it’s a limited load I don’t feel like being stuffed into a single bunk, perhaps...

So, let’s pause for a bit. We still don’t know what happened. It could run the gamut from a normally well regarded crew member accidentally falling asleep to the captain not having a standard anchor watch . All scenarios appear to be criminal and disgusting, but perhaps we should lower the...

Wow, I guess the next question is going to be was that planned or did some one fall asleep. This is really surprising and not been my experience when out with TA. A long time ago I did something young and foolish on one of their boats and I know they had someone on watch!

On a more positive tone, Looking at the pictures , I forgot how much I liked the fact that a good number of divers could put their full size dive bags on top of the engine room/center island. It made things so convenient.

After that picture, I now get the Wookie handle/username! :)

Same here, but I do pause a bit on wether I would bring my 14 year old daughter....

Not sure I agree , sure there has been a bit of invective, but certainly less than most forums. It has given us: Confirmation of layout Pictures of interior of boat and emergency egress Details of nitrox/air facilities Provided non SoCal divers an education on Southern California diving and...

It’s true, it leads up into essentially the long serving Island in the dinning area, nearest to the exit to the fantail (opposite side of stairway). There are pictures of this exit in the thread

I have had a lot of experience diving on the Truth Boats and similar socal LOB's like the old Great Escape. Initially, I was finding myself being defensive when people outside our little insulated west coast diving community commented on the emergency exit options. Never a problem before, its...

FYI, after Cpt Tim passed away, the Great Escape became a fishing boat based out of San Diego...it changed its name.

Truth Aquatics is a first class dive operation, but Southern California dive boats are not the same as a luxury live aboard in the South Pacific. Certainly more cramped and less luxurious , but that doesn’t mean unsafe. The Truth boats had a well deserved great rep and were thought by many to...

Horrible news, many great memories dating back to my time at UCSB....I was just on their website looking to schedule a dive next month :( IIRC, the stairs from the bunk area run right into the galley. Obviously too soon to speculate the cause, but if a gallery fire you could have been...

One other question....for just UW use, will I see a major improvement if I keep with the 5 and not get a 7 before my trip? I know what the technical differences are, just curious about real world experiences. Funny enough, if this was a bit earlier in the year, I would probably pull the trigger...

Hi, Using a hero5 (that I have used before, but without lights) with new dual sola 2500, 12 inch 3/4 locline arms with the backscatter tray. Hitting Cozumel soon. 1. any tips or best practices? 2. do people tether their lights to the tray just in case the arms pop off? I was thinking of just...

Well said.

Fantastic news! Are the remaining rescuers coming out as we speak or is there another operation planed for tomorrow?
