I just discovered I have exactly the same problem. This is on Windows build 14390.0 of Version 1607. I did have it all working on Windows 10 because I got on the early beta adopter program in order to get a working IRDA driver. That was fine through many iterations, and it finally made its...

FWIW, my wife and I are booked for a 12 day trip on Tambora about the middle of December. This trip is Sarong-Sarong, so the whole time will be in Raja Ampat. We chose Tambora because we did a trip with them last December and loved it. The boat is operated by the owner, a German engineer...

I just received email from REEF containing the following: We are excited and very proud to share amazing news – on Monday of this week, the Cayman Islands government enacted a comprehensive set of regulations aimed at recovering Nassau Grouper, an endangered Caribbean reef fish. The new rules...

OK, so we're not going to be on the same trip. You booked a good one, and you will love it. The Vision is the largest of the 3 boats and you will have a bit more room on it than I will on Conception. But the difference is truly minor. We go on a Truth Aquatics trip every year about this...

Richard, You've now got me curious which trip you're taking. My wife and I are leaving this Saturday night (August 6) on a 5 day trip to the southern islands on Conception. I see 2 other southern islands trips on the Truth Aquatics calendar: a 4 day trip on Vision organized by Christy...

We'll, I've already got my in-country flights now, DPS/SOQ R/T. I'm just trying to figure out whether to take some extra time in Bali to get in some diving on the way. I just got some depressing email back from a friend who is a tour organizer and goes through Bali frequently: "In regards...

My wife and I just secured reservations for a 12 day cruise in Raja Ampat this December. Since this trip is Sarong-Sarong, we realized we could go through Denpasar just about as easily as through Jakarta. That means we could squeeze in a week or so of diving in Bali on the way to Sarong! So I...

Let's talk about it. Send me email at aquariusds@sbcglobal.net. (I owned Aquarius in Monterey for 7 years and when I sold the shop I just kept the same old email address. One of these days I will get around to changing it, I promise!) I'm mostly interested in knowing that truly, babysitting...

You should be aware that Aggressor is a franchise operator. They provide advertising and marketing services and then act as he reservations agent for the individually owned and operated dive boats. What that means is that there can be tremendous variation among the different Aggressor boats...

Two hours seems a bit conservative to me. Don't forget that when you're coming FROM Little Cayman you just walk past the Immigration desk and go straight to luggage claim. Once you get your bags, you bypass the Customs check and head outside. Thus your only real delay is how long the check-in...

I can't help but notice that mention of "with less than 10 dives in my record". We all had to start somewhere, so there's nothing wrong with being new at this game. Just take it one step at a time, and that first step should be a gentle step. You should only go out on a day that is very calm...

I just got back to CA last night after 3 months on Little Cayman, and while there I was out shore diving almost every day when it was calm enough. What I saw of the Aggressor is completely consistent with everything ronscuba mentioned. The boat usually showed up on Little Cayman on Tuesday...

I used to have major problems with my Sol receiver losing communications with the transmitter. I talked with the tech. support staff at Scubapro about it several times, and they always led with questions about whether I was using a strobe and what kind of light I was using. That got me to do...

This is a very interesting discussion with some well-formed perspectives being expressed. Now here are mine: (1) I used to dive a MK25/A700 while I owned a dive shop and serviced all of my customers' regulators. One reg that always surprised me was the G250V. No matter how I looked at it, I...

I ended up taking a taxi from the airport to Ibis twice and both times they charged me 150,000. I tried negotiating up front and even walked away once.

Kathy, I know that Drew is giving you absolutely straight info here. I dive from shore on Little Cayman almost every day during the winter, so have had plenty of opportunity to watch things evolve over the years. I would make a suggestion that you try to find somebody who has had recent...

You can go get 11082 now. It's kind of a PITA, but you will get there eventually. Start with Windows Update, go to "Advanced Options", look down at the bottom for how to apply to be a Windows Insider. Once you get on the insider program, you will find a little slider bar for you to set your...

I take back what I said above! After screwing around a bit with the device manager, I realized I had a stub enabled instead of the correct driver. Once I switched over to the right driver, it worked!!! So now I have downloaded the last couple of months worth of dives to SmartTRAK. The only...

This thread is paralleling another one on this forum on the same topic. See my latest note on it under http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/scubapro/511628-irda-driver-windows-10-a-4.html

After reading the recent posts regarding Windows 10 build 11082, I went through the grief of becoming a Windows Insider and rebuilding my system. It wasn't 11082, so I did some more research and saw I had to be a "fast ring" insider, so I did that...waited a day...and then was able to download...
