Very glad you figured out the source and remedy for Sandra's injury. I also had a suspected DCS hit in French Polynesia recently after a relatively short, 65' dive on the second dive of the day. About 45 mins out of the water my right foot felt weirdly unstable, just a bit tingly and my gait was...

They also lost the Indo Siren in 2011. I watched it burn in the Dampier Strait in January in Raja Ampat.

Thank you very much for sharing that Komodo experience. Out of curiosity, were you at one of the 'Current City' area sites (Batu Bolong, etc) when that incident happened? Hopefully not South Rinca! It happened off Taka Makassar, which is a manta aggregation site that you have to hit when...

I echo the majesty of Indonesia as a dive destination-- been diving there since 1994. Don't let the spotty infrastructure deter you-- pick the best dive op you can find and carry a. PLB. About 7 years ago I was on a LOB I'd dived with at least 4x before and I got blown off a reef in Komodo when...

Hi Rick, I'm thinking of joining a 13 day sail from Port Ghaleb to the South Suaken at the end of the calendar year with some European dive buddies I met last year in Socorro. Aside from a hellish journey getting there and back from the US, how was the diving? I'm assuming fairly unspoiled as...

I've been reading some of the threads here and wondered what those with experience with different fin designs might suggest. I love my Avantis but they are just too damn heavy for international travel. (Mine are probably from 1990 when I was newly certifed ;-) I'd like new ones that reduce...

You guys are amazing in your ability to use facts to support your position, and I mean that in the kindest way. So tapping into some of that wisdom, can somebody suggest a plausible explanation for why, in the photo of Gabe during his ascent, he is grasping his octo in his right hand? Unless he...

I'm sorry if this has been covered ad nauseum in earlier threads, and feel free to refer me back there (hard to search). Regardless of guilt or innocence, training or experience, what the heck was this (well established) boat doing not conducting a careful checkout dive before dumping these...

I know my response is late to the party, but I just had to chime in on the Borneo vs. Raja Ampat discussion. I have dived both 2x, and I would not even put Derawan/Sangalaki/Kakaban in the same category as RA. The best thing about Derawan was the jellyfish lake and the turtles on the beach at...

Hi there, I am looking to replace my recently flooded computer and was looking at the Veo series. Two questions: 1. What is the difference between the Veo 100 and Veo 180? (I am looking for air + Nx) 2. I'd like to purchase the console style (Navcon), and want to know if my existing...
