Thanks for the responses, but I was hoping to hear from a Sherwood rep.

82F last Tuesday

After I replaced the battery, my first dive flooded the battery compartment. Big Island Divers, your authorized rep, dried it out but could not repair. Is there anything that can be done to repair? Thanks.

Attached hood, bought for $500, 4 years ago, 2 dives, been in my basement since. $200 or BO plus shipping from NJ.

My advice would be after landing in Oahu is to head to one of the other islands as soon as possible. Been to Maui and BI several times, Kauai only once. Had best diving in Maui at the Lanai cathedrals, best reached from Lahaina and you don't want a panga here, can be a rough crossing, and...

Thank you for your terrific report. We visited BL 9 years ago and can concur on the accuracy of your report. While I have UW video of what I saw, what I remember is the local experience. We have been to many dive destinations throughout the Pacific, but nowhere did we feel more integrated with...

We did this 2 years ago when the T&C Islands were hit by not 1 but 2 hurricanes. We had no insurance and would have lost everything had not the airlines cancelled flights and Explorer moved their boat out of the island to avoid the disaster. Luckily we were able to reschedule a week later, but...

Our last 2 trips there we dove with Big Island Divers. Great operation, staff, and Captain Jim will give you a warm shower after the dive and condition your hair! Wife loved him. Big Island Divers Diving Scuba Snorkel Kona Hawaii Manta Ray Black water pelagic magic dive

We stayed there last April and enjoyed the accomodations. We had a full kitchen and dining room which saved a lot on meals. Can't say I liked the dive operation. The boat was small and crowded with all your gear tossed in the center at your feet. Gearing up was NOT fun and by the end of the...

http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/cruises-liveaboards-charter-boats/96776-carnival-valor-update.html See the above thread. I assume you will have a dive buddy with similar experience. I suggest you do AOW before diving the deeper sites in Coz and Roatan. I was also unprepared for the workout I...

I did this itinerary a couple years ago off the Valor. I would suggest using the ship operation in Belize and booking a local operator in Roatan. You do not dock in Belize and the ship operator, Hugh Parkey at the time, picked us up on the ship and took us to Turneffe. In Roatan we used Subway...

US 1 is also under construction right now. If you still are driving the same day you dive, most operators have a 1 PM dive as well.

Actually, Richard Dreyfuss's character did don the gear and drop down in a cage, so Jaws heads my list, Hitler's Lost Sub second ( though not a movie, but a PBS documentary), and Thunderball third.

Mike What about Yap in November? We are going to Palau this Nov and thinking about tacking on a week in Yap.

I agree. There is not much to do after the days' diving. Boat rides through the Pearl Islands are part of the experience. We dove with Neco Marine 2 years ago and are going back this year.

OK, chemistry 101. Benzene is not cyclohexane, but a 6 carbon aromatic liquid. It is colorless, and less dense than seawater. If leaking from drum, it would float to the surface and eventually evaporate.

Hi John, what's the latest on the SD movie? I also see there is a new Dive Portal DVD out. I enjoyed the other 2, so keep them coming. BTW, do you still have my wife's picture on your cell phone?:D

I recently bought one of the sets on Amazon and the quality is quite good considering. I used to watch when I was a kid and was fascinated by the underwater action. I knew nothing about scuba then, but I am constantly amazed at these shows now seen through the eyes of a diver. Along with the...

I'm a 44 chest and 38 waist and I have a large Icon. With weights in pockets I have to tighten the straps almost as far as they go to get a reasonable fit over a 1 mil wet suit. I originally bought an XL which I was fortunate to return and exchange for the large. The shop had no medium for...
