    Saba-First Time There

    My wife and I along with two others are trying to plan a trip to Saba in November. None of us have ever been there and just wondering what is the best way to fly in from the U.S.? I've tried other searches but not coming up with anything too helpful.

    Cancellation Policies for New Bookings

    We are in the opposite situation. We were to be leaving this weekend and the place we were going to stay at did not inform us that refunds were not an option. I take exception with them not making an exception, since there was no communication to us in this regard. They asked if we would...

    Nitrox on Little Cayman

    Obviously no downside. I've already stated we will be doing nitrox.

    Nitrox on Little Cayman

    WOW....where did I ever say $170 would be deal breaker? I merely asked if there was any real benefit to dive with nitrox, given the typical boat dive from LCBR. I am fully aware of the cost to go to Little Cayman and my ability to pay is none of your concern, nor is it our first time there. So...

    Nitrox on Little Cayman

    Thank you! We've been DAN members since we started diving about 12 years ago.

    Nitrox on Little Cayman

    Thank you everyone. Some pretty eye opening advise here. We will be diving nitrox when we go.

    Nitrox on Little Cayman

    I have coordinated a small group heading to Little Cayman Beach Resort this Fall. My wife and I have only been Nitrox certified since last summer. Is it worth it to go with nitrox on the boat dives that LCBR would normally do, meaning sites close for their boats? I don't want to shell out...

    Trip Report Trip Report: Bonaire- January 2020

    Awesome report! Thank you for sharing. We are still over 3 months out at this point. I would add one more tip about leaving water jugs/containers in the back to rinse off with. Take an extra cap and drill/punch a series of holes through it. When time to rinse off, replace the standard solid...

    Where to next?

    Note a fan of heavy currents either. Grenada sounds intriguing....

    Where to next?

    I would love to give a live-aboard a try but my wife gets motion sickness just reading in the car! It may be St Croix as I too am a bit concerned with Dominica. One of our party had suggested Cuba and I realize there are some legalities involved so unless we can call in some favors, Cuba may be...

    Where to next?

    We stayed at SunBreeze in/near San Pedro. I guess that's on an atoll?? One of the party just returned from Belize last week. Not real impressed with the diving. "It was......okayish"

    Where to next?

    Yeah, warm water and great viz are where its at for us! Would love to see some of the larger critters but certainly not tired of what we have seen. We plan on spending the days diving and as many night dives as we can work in. Topside is pretty much just relax perhaps poolside with an adult...

    Where to next?

    Hi all! I am looking for destination recommendations for a November dive trip for 4 divers. Two of our party would prefer to not go to Bonaire (my wife and I are going in May) as they have done it enough and gearing up on the back of a truck is no longer all that easy for either of them...

    What to do with "stuff" when diving...

    I use one while boat diving just as a splash guard for my iPhone. I have tried 2-3 of the things and they always leak. A little test I did at home was to put a piece of toilet paper inside then weigh it down in the bathroom sink overnight. Toilet paper would always be wet! I would never trust...

    Trip Report Bonaire Trip Report- Entire month of August- 2019

    Awesome report! Loved the bait ball and will definitely be looking for the turtles at Salt Pier when we return this coming spring! Glad to hear I'm not the only one who has "been there, done that" for the Northern sites. Not really worth doing again for the time involved. Could you please PM...

    Dunbar Rock room question

    We are a small group of friends heading to Dunbar Rock this year. Can anyone tell me their thoughts on upgrading to the Presidential suite? My wife and I almost always upgrade above the basic room no matter where we go, but this one will be at a substantially higher price tag. Just wanting to...

    Ditchable Weight Option for BP/W

    My wife and I each have the Halcyon version used as trim weights on our upper tank straps. I don't see any reason why the ones you have selected couldn't work as ditchable weight pockets. About the same price as the Halcyon version, but without the secondary Velcro closure beneath the buckle...

    Where to dive in Dominican Republic?

    How does the diving in Bayahibe compare to places like Cozumel, Bonaire, or Roatann?

    Punta Cana dive question

    I had just posted in the Greater Antilles also asking about diving in Punta Cana. I will follow this thread as well.

    Where to dive in Dominican Republic?

    Hello all! My wife and I will be attending a wedding in April 2019 in Punta Cana, DR and wondering about diving while we are there. Is it worth doing any diving around Punta Cana or should we opt for going to Bayahibe instead? How far is it from Punta Cana to Bayahibe and would any dive...
