    Should non-native lionfish be eliminated?

    Just returned from Grand Cayman and based on what I saw the answer to this thread is ABSOLUTELY. I can't count how many lionfish we saw. According to the DM the first lionfish appeared in 2008. That means in barely two years they are a dominant predator on the reefs. Based on all I've read...

    Trip Report-Sunset House, Jan 15-19, Including the Kittiwake

    My wife and I just got back from a quick trip to Grand Cayman for three days of diving with Sunset House. All around Great trip. The only negative is that the water was quite cold even for winter. We had several dives in the 74 or 75 degrees range. Luckily, I packed our wetsuits just in...

    Canon G10 WPDC28 Fiber Optic Strobe Help!

    I just use waterproof medical tape to tape the FO end directly over the flash. It also works to diffuse any light from the internal flash to avoid a shadow. I've never had a problem getting mine to fire.

    Props for Princeton Tec

    Just thought I'd add a comment regarding my recent experience with Princeton Tec. I have a Miniwave LED light from them and the switch assembly broke. I called the company to inquire about buying a replacement part and they immediately offered to mail me a new switch assembly, no questions...

    Picaridin vs. DEET in the war against sand fleas.

    Not to mention that the high dose will turn your urine neon yellow...so everyone will know when you pee in the water. (Not that anyone would do such a thing ;)

    Is miflex worth the extra $$$

    Love it my miflex reg hose but I don't really see the benefit on an inflator hose.

    Is this a crazy vacation idea... OR can it be done?

    My wife and I do something somewhat similar although we haven't done a true remote location yet. We charter a sailboat for a week, take a dozen tanks with us and take off. Granted where we've been so far has at least some dive industry but this allows us to dive wherever we please. We even...

    Just finished AOW. Took me a while. It was garbage.

    I always have to laugh at the fact that a lot of the same people that will bash PADI are the same ones that defend the LDS (even the ones that charge 100% over online) and bash anyone that even suggests using an online retailer.

    Cozumel cenote diving

    The Cenote's are very nice. I wasn't concerned at all about not having a cave cert. You are rarely very far from a place you could surface. It's not a dive I'd do repeatedly as once you've done it,you've done it. The halocline was still one of the most interesting things I've seen while diving.

    What did you buy that you regret?

    For me it's my AI computer...I wouldn't say that I regret this piece I would simply say that looking back I would advise to plan to add a secondary Pressure Gauge. I actually love my AI as it helps me plan timing based on nitrogen loading or air consumption while under. This is handy as I use...

    I don't understand any of this - just tell me what to buy! :)

    I use a Mares Proton Metal and love it. I've dived with it from Cold to tropical, shallow to 110', From The Caribbean to the Maldives and never had a problem. Scubatoys services it yearly for me. But, I would agree with the other posts. Find out what you can get serviced in the Islands...

    I need a FishEye FIX G10 Housing-Anybody????

    Hi All, I have a Canon G10, which I like. However, I've been using the Canon U/W Case and want to upgrade to the FishEye FIX case as it allows more lens (particuliarly macro) and TTL for the flash rather than just operating as a slave to the built in flash like I have with the Canon Case...

    Opinions on Maldives Liveaboards????

    A couple of notes from my experience. Flights-We flew Indian Air from Mumbai to Male with a stopover in Bangalore (Didn't get off the plane). It was BA First Class but it was better than I've seen in a lot of the third world. (i.e. Most of Africa). Malaria-We were only in Mumbai...

    Opinions on Maldives Liveaboards????

    We spent three days in Mumbai on our return. It was a very interesting place. Extremely dirty though. It's not a place I'd go FOR vacation but since we were already halfway around the world I'm glad we spent the time.

    Packing regulators for traveling

    I have a padded reg bag that I carry my reg and computer in. I leave it fully assembled. We then stick mine and my wife's regs in a backpack and carry them on. We always take them out (like a laptop) going through security because the TSA guy will make you take it out anyway when they see...

    TSA got you down?

    There is a huge difference in naked and the image produced by the scanners. That's not a valid comparison. As to your 19 y/o...don't say no to the scanner...problem solved.

    TSA got you down?

    I think you missed the point. Flying is not a right. If you can't accept the rules to fly then don't fly.....OR drop $2,000 an hour on a private charter. Contrary to what our entitlement minded president and Congress think. You do not have a RIGHT to a big house, free food, a great job...
