    Help me Pick.. Looking for balance of shore snorkeling & boat diving

    Absolutely, I think you're spot on that we'll have to balance things. I think another reason I'm leaning away towards Bonaire is because its reputation is so good I would consider visiting alone in future for a more diving-oriented trip. Thanks for your input on the schools of fish and rays!

    Help me Pick.. Looking for balance of shore snorkeling & boat diving

    Looking for assistance picking a spot in the Caribbean. I am a pretty experienced diver, have RB but plan to just do OC this trip. My fiancé is mobility impaired from a car accident and not quite as adventurous so I'm looking for a place with easy beach access from resort for her (walk into...

    Article: High Dynamic Range Plug in for GoPro Cams

    You're just applying sharpening and more contrast (compressing the histogram) which will make video/photos pop. Certainly a good practice often, but nothing specific to PoV or GoPros. Good advice for many people nonetheless but you could improve your article by offering up some specifics on...

    Ballsing up the Night diving spec.... advice needed

    The only time I've gotten vertigo was doing recovery work in a harbor in a whopping 10-15 feet. Lots of silt and 0 visibility. So it will happen. Just stay calm and don't overreact.

    CCR with automatic fail over

    So you want an automatic system to monitor your automatic systems? What will monitor that? Another system? Are they being made by different people? Ultimately you have to be vigilant and look out for yourself. As others have said there are various models with various design philosophies out...

    Soft Weights Confiscated by Airline?

    I get so tired of people talking about how we should have "Israeli style airport security" without having a clue what that is. Israel is a very homogeneous society so profiling is much more practical and effective there. The US, while not perfectly integrated, is pretty darn heterogeneous. We...

    Where to go in Hawaii?!?

    Just a reminder.. Don't go to up Mauna Kea immediately after diving.. Many people end up with altitude sickness even without diving.

    Hawaiian Seahorse

    You can see them on North Shore (I know where, just not saying here). They are not rare per se, just difficult to find due to their excellent camouflage.

    Diving in Maui this October

    I don't know anything about LD, but a steel 72 does not hold much less air than an Al 80 (which is actually holding around 77-78 cu. ft). So your remark about this being a way to give shorter dives does not really stand up. In practice, that extra few cubic feet is going to be trumped by many...

    Diving near Bangkok?

    Thanks for the info, pretty much echoed what I'd read. Not going to expect anything spectacular, but it's just a business trip so this is basically bonus, plus it's at least some different stuff to see since I've never dove over there. Decided to email Adventure Divers after reviewing reviews...

    Diving near Bangkok?

    I'll be in Bangkok next week for about a week for work. Travel plans still a bit tentative but probably will only have one day to go diving and realize Bangkok is not exactly the best, but would like to get wet anyway. Don't plan to take my rebreather, not worth it for one day of diving. If I...

    TONGA advices anyone?

    Not diving related, but I would recommend going to 'Eua if you have time. Ferry from Tongatapu. Hike down to the south tip of the island and the center. Karst and wild horses. Incredible.

    Some last minute help

    Not sure about sea life, but several shops have intova stuff. I never dive with a flag, but you'll need a spool or just a piece of line, depending on the dive. Only time I see people use them are with boats and people doing classes.
