    Drysuit Hood

    Need suggestions for drysuit hood that fits without feeling like my heads in a vice and leads to headache. I’ve tried several but always feel restricted with face squeeze that causes mask to not seal. Don’t like to struggle putting on and taking off. I have large head (xxl) with full beard...

    In the regional forum section for Mexico there is a thread concerning a Camera tax for people coming into Mexico.

    Galapagos in October - Suit suggestion 5mm+2mm or D9 or else

    My trip May 2019. 5mil with 2 mil optional vest. Cressi Pentagon 5 mil and Henderson 2 mil vest. Be prepared to have your wetsuit nicked, torn and well rubbed while on the trip from holding onto Lava Rocks. I would not recommend expensive wetsuit. Drysuit is not necessary and is PIA in the...

    Tipping Guideline For Galapagos Liveaboards?

    10% is what I plan and is what I tipped for last Galapagos Trip. If really great crew, food and service that 10% can go up. At end of my Galapagos trip was handed two envelops and was asked to split tip based on what I thought should go to dive guides and what to crew. First time for that and...

    Pensacola recommendations & thoughts

    Check my previous comment. Also, not the greatest shore dives but there are some. Remember you are also very close to Cave Country which means great springs diving and no you don't have to be cave certified unless you plan on going into a cave. Stay in touch and book early.

    Pensacola recommendations & thoughts

    Dive Pro’s and MBT Divers are very professional and highly recommended. NIUHI dive charter is top notch. Contact Capt Andy, if he is booked he will steer you in right direction. Google them. Some great diving around P’cola. Recommend you check and book early

    Dive ops handling wetsuits

    Just wanted to revive this. Without a doubt this is one of the most ridiculous and funniest threads I have read, yet so full of facts/tips. Almost worthy of the Pub and in contention with the thread posted elsewhere on cigar smoking on a live aboard

    Oriskany in April?

    Yes it is fine. Just like all year, some days you may get blown off but never know until close to the time. Some very good dive boats and safe Captains who will watch weather closely. In April would not recommend wearing a skin or 3 mil, still a little nippy.
