    Question Is it possible to convert the PPO-EP01 OM-D Port to a PEN Port?

    Has anyone converted their Olympus PPO-EP01 port from an OM-D port to a PEN port? I was told you could remove the tab and there was a screw there that you can then remove the outer ring and are left with a PEN style port. However, I removed the tab and don't see a screw. Do I need to jimmy...

    Has anyone successfully removed part of the OM-D style port to turn it into a PEN style port? I was told there is a screw under the tab. Do I need to remove more?

    Trip Report Belize Aggressor III Feb 5-12, 2022

    We were on the IV in 2016 and 2017 and I believe they have remodeled since. Our room was bigger on the IV. It had a queen bed you could walk around. I remember the cabin temps as being somewhat warm especially in port. My husband had a slight preference for the III based on the dive crew.

    I can't say that I have a strong preference either way. I had always heard before going that the IV was better but can't say so any more. The cabins are roomier on the IV but the I really liked the dive deck layout and space for dining on the III. Both crews are great.

    Yes, the nurse shark followed us around. It was only at the Grand Bogue site that happened. We saw them elsewhere but usually sleeping under a ledge.

    Question Viper moray?

    Is this a viper moray? The dive guides were not sure (I heard possibly manytooth conger, viper moray, or chestnut moray).

    ID for Belize finds?

    The shrimp was sitting on a coral during a night dive. When I have seen velvet shrimp, they were usually in the sand sharing a hole with a blenny. Would the location rule out velvet shrimp?

    Yes, the soups at lunch were great. The fresh bread, salads, and desserts were also really good in addition to the main course. The selections were varied. It was amazing what Janna could do in that small kitchen galley

    Trip Report Roatan Aggressor - Nov. 27 to Dec. 4, 2021

    We did have cell reception enough for texts and my husband thought email as well. I turned my phone off for the week. We only saw one hawksbill turtle at depth and a couple at the surface. The boat crew said there were usually more sightings.

    Trip Report Turks & Caicos Explorer II 8/21 - 8/28/21

    I love the diving in Cozumel but I often have an issue with Montezuma's Revenge. It is really nice to go somewhere that you can drink the water from the tap without issue.
