I guess this doesn't qualify as an emergency, but it's getting close to that. I have a trip scheduled in a few weeks, and plan to use my drysuit. Well, I did. Gear inspection and PMCS come naturally to me, so that's what I just did. I haven't used my drysuit in about 2 1/2 years..so guess what...

Hello all, So, I'll start off here. Way back in the 70's some guy in South Dakota bought a used '58 Dodge, drove it to Ft. Carson, met a girl, drove them both back to SD after getting married, and parked his great truck in a garage because he needed a family car, because he had a son on the...

Hello, all. I'm in the first beginning stages of planning a trip to Hawaii (should I properly include the apostrophe?) and would like your advice. On everything and anything; no advice will go unconsidered. This trip would be myself and a friend who dives as well. Length of our stay would be...

No, this isn't a 419 scam; though if you want to send me money, I'll accept it. What I am interested in is some opinions, advice, options, or just flat out BS and anecdotes to help me plan an upcoming dive trip. I'm in Korea now, and in January of 2017, I'll be moving back to the States. I have...

Hello, My family will be visiting St. Thomas in December during Christmas. I would appreciate some help for planning for this trip. We will be staying in Peterborg for a week, and will have two vehicles for getting around. There will be three divers ranging from experienced to new, as well as...

If whoever found the GoPro at the Salt Pier in Bonaire last week reads this, know that the diver who lost it is extremely grateful to have his camera back! Thank you for your efforts to watch the video, identify our boat, and return the camera!

BLUF: An excellent trip, with an outstanding crew, and a terrific value. I highly recommend this organization. Background: I was on the vessel MorningStar during the 24-30 May excursion to the Exumas. The crew was Captain Red, Divemaster/Instructor Breezy, Engineer Tim, Chef Clancy, and...

Hello Friends, I have a conundrum that I would like your help with. Our dive club is soon to go on a trip, one that many of us have long looked forward to. A good friend of mine has been looking forward to this trip, but due to several factors, only recently decided to go. She paid the full cost...

Hi, technical question for Sealife. Does changing the flash power setting on the camera affect the appropriate power selected on the external strobe? For example, if I have 5 set on the external strobe, will the external strobe less powerful in macro flash on the camera, and more powerful in...

Is this a species of Snapping Shrimp? I ask because my Reef Creatures book says the claws are uneven, and these appear symmetrical. I saw several of these and many of their holes in Key Largo last week. The holes appeared to be bored straight into the sand, like it was a drilled shaft or...

Hello all, I have a DC1200 that I have been using for about two years so far. Recently, I've noticed that the objective lens on the housing has taken on two colors. It's very slight and you can only see it if the housing is held a certain way to the light. It looks like a lens coating, but...

Hello, I am trying to find information regarding a wreck in the Cuyo Islands, and would appreciate any information offered. My eventual long-term goal is to lead at least three family members on at least one dive on this wreck. The wreck is that of the LST-460, a Landing Ship, Tank sunk by a...

Hello everyone, I've recently (to me at least) moved to the Columbus, GA area and would like to meet some of the local divers and dive clubs. I lived in the Manhattan, Kansas area for about 11 years, and had a great local shop while I was there. We had a great dive club that I enjoyed being a...

I've been using a Sealife DC1200 for a year and a half now, but last year the strobe started acting up. I've sent it in to the manufacturer, but started looking at an Ikelite DS51. I like the higher power, shorter recycle time...heck, just about everything about it. But what I'd like to know...

I had a question for the board. I'm going on a trip to Bonaire in about 2 weeks (2 weeks, 1 day, 10 hours and about 51 minutes... give or take a few seconds, and would like some advice on dive sites. Some background; We'll be staying at Buddy Dive, and have the use of a rental truck. My family...

I'd appreciate the help in identifying this critter I seen in Roatan Honduras about 3 weeks ago. I saw it on the south side of the island at about 11:30 in the morning. This was a odd-looking critter I found on the bottom. When I raised my camera the first time, it swam backwards very...
