I have an older Sherwood Magnum mask with guage reader lenses with +2.50 magnification that are no longer effective for reading my large face spg. I would like to keep the mask as the fit is perfect. Does anyone know of a possible source for Sherwood lenses with higher magnification? TIA

While the current entry requirements are quite convenient - an e-visa in advance or a visa on arrival (VOA) this all changes effective October 01. From that date forward, Canadians need to get a VV from an Egyptian Embassy or Consulate. If you already have an e-visa for entry after October 1st...

Grateful for any info on what diving conditions would be like off Ajman circa early February. Realize that Fujairah has better sites but not able to work that in to itinerary.

A non-diver friend in his late 60s is interested in doing Discover Scuba in early January. They will be staying in Willemstad. Any recommendations for a dive shop that has experience with older clientele?

Grateful for any recommendations for a Curacao dive shop that offers "Discover Scuba" or equivalent. Traveling with another couple later in the year and they are curious but not likely to seek certification. We will be staying Willemstad. Thanks

I ask the question because there are so many great trip reports that get buried in various forums. The recent contributions by @Trailboss123 and @drrich2 come to mind. I don't know about others, but with the volume of material on SB, I find that it is harder to keep track of a particular trip...

Being on the wrong side of 60, I find the long haul flights more and more challenging. Stopovers help, but still equate to more time in and out of airports. I have a bucket list which includes Indonesia but am not crazy about the 30+ hours it will take to get there. So, for those of you over...

I've done LOB and land-based trips in the Red Sea and enjoyed both. I enjoy reefs more than wrecks and have done balance of warm water diving in Caribbean, predominantly on LOBs. While I will not travel before being vaccinated, starting to think about next LOB trip and have been reading a...

Thinking about a post COVID LOB trip and was wondering whether coral bleaching in Maldives is localized or widespread...and if the former, whether any of the LOB operators have managed to establish itineraries that avoid problem areas.

Not sure if you have someone following threads where Aggressor is named, but there is growing tension over the perception that the company is not responding to clients who now find themselves unable to travel due to cancellations by carriers and governments closing borders to foreign nationals...

For information and travel planning, Ramadan - Wikipedia for 2020 starts April 24 lasting 30 days and ending at sundown circa May 23/24.

Would be interested in hearing from anyone who is in a position to compare experiences between the Blu O2 and Emperor Diver fleets. Have been on the Red Sea Aggressor but now looking for something with more competitive pricing for Southern Route with Port Ghalib departure. On a related note...

Would be interested in hearing from anyone who can comment on weather and dive conditions likely to be encountered during 1st week of October on CXII (Saba & St, Kitts).

Has anyone ever had any airport security issues travelling with an aluminum u/w noisemaker (aka shaker) in either checked or carry on luggage? I have a Dive Alert "quacker" but find that the sound doesn't carry as well as the noisemaker.

Would be interested in knowing whether cell coverage is available on either the Northern or Southern routes. Thanks

I attempted to attach an XS Scuba pocket with a neoprene backing to my neoprene wet suit using Mcnett "Urethane Repair Adhesive & Sealant". I placed sufficient weight over the pocket and waited approximately 24 hours. Unfortunately, because I had not taken into consideration the overall design...

So, I've just picked up a Subgear XP10 as a back-up to my Galileo Luna. While I realize that both computers have the same ZHL-8 ADT MB algorithm, I would be interested in knowing if the MB default setting on the XP10 is the same as the LO MB setting on the Luna. Thanks

My last dive was in late September and I won't be getting wet again until April. I haven't removed the battery from my Luna in the past during the "dry season" (aka Canadian winter) but was curious whether I am out of sync with other divers.
