    What's special about diving in Hawaii?

    Ni'ihau is the best diving in the state. You go out of Kauai, several outfits make the trip. It's an all-day thing, 3 dives typically. May is starting to be Ni'ihau season, with boats going over almost every day. You'll see lots of endemic fish & are almost guaranteed sightings of Hawaiian monk...

    Travel Logistics: Jakarta and Sorong in October

    Does anyone know if their any flights to Sorong from hubs other than Jakarta? Like maybe Manila? I'm looking at flying from Hawaii and going to Jakarta first is certainly out of the way, but I'm not seeing any other options. Thanks.

    Trip Report Belize Feb 2021 Trip Report

    I was there in Nov. 2019. Stayed at the new Hilton property at the south end of the island. Great diving, but, and it's a big but: Pesticides are sprayed like water, everywhere, all the time (except for one 'eco' resort). Really disgusting, especially knowing that long-term exposure increases...

    Size chart for Aqualung Hydroflex 3mm

    Hello - I recently purchased a L Aqualung Hydroflex 3mm wetsuit that my LDS ordered for me. The sizing chart said that works for 5'10" to 6'0" men, weight 170-190 lbs. I am 6'0" tall and weight about 160. (I am medium build and used to weight 185 lbs. but lost a lot of muscle due to illness.) I...

    Lost switch on Atorch TC06 - any ideas?

    Hi there - Well just back from a dive this morning and somehow the sliding power switch on my Atorch TC06 light fell off. The ring that secures it must have worked loose in my BC pocket or something. Crazy, as I was using it most of the dive. Anyway, I went to the Atorch site and tried to use...

    Diving with contact lenses

    I've gone diving with hard contacts, soft contacts, and now my favorite of all...intraocular lenses that correct my terrible vision. I had to have two cataract surgeries and pay extra for multi-focal intraocular lenses but the freedom from contacts after 35 years is amazing.

    How to get the Suunto USB cable working with Zoop Novo??

    I pushed really hard and twisted the cable and the cable jacket twisted but not the connector. Oh well. I give up. Going to return the cable. I don't have the strongest hands in the world but it's ridiculous that this cable needs so much force to use.

    How to get the Suunto USB cable working with Zoop Novo??

    Ok, well this is weird but I can push in the cable with the dot on the cable lined up to the dot on the computer, but when I try to twist it clockwise, I can't budge it. I even watched this video to understand and it still won't twist for me. Frustrating.

    How to get the Suunto USB cable working with Zoop Novo??

    Hi - Suunto sent me a Zoop Novo after my Zoop died (thanks Suunto), but then I needed the newer cable (this one: Suunto Dive USB cable - Connect D-series, Vyper Novo and Zoop Novo) which I spent a ridiculous amount of money on. But now that I have it, I cannot for the life of me get the two-pin...
