Aloha All. I am looking for a Jacket BCD that is not weight integrated and I am having a hard time. Everything seems to be back inflate/wing and most everything is weight integrated. I am old school and I like to hang at different angles to take pictures so I don't want those weight pockets...

I recently moved to Kona and I am looking for dive buddies. I was a two step yesterday snorkeling and I really wanted to dive it (just need a buddy). I dove Puako a couple years ago and it was so close, looks like it would be easy to shore dive. Last shore dive I did was Maui's Turtle Town, 5...

Hi all. Waiting on a warmish Alaskan evening. Dreaming of diving.

We are making a recon trip to the Big Island in a couple weeks and we are looking for a good real estate agent. We will be concentrating our efforts on the Kohala Coast Kona area for now. So, does anyone know a good buyer's agent? :cool2:

We will be going to Kona next month and I really can't wait. I have dove several different trips to the Big Island but haven't found info for a small dive Op six pack in Kona..... I dove with WannaDive and loved their outfit (but they've moved on), then in Waikoloa I really liked Blue...

Well I feel like a complete idiot. I just had my regulator in for it's yearly check-up but haven't had my BCD done for awhile. I was just on the surface and my inflator valve stuck open and totally filled the BCD til I disconnected the inflator hose quickly. It's a near miss because it didn't...

WE went night diving with mantas near Kona. It was awesome, except my hubby was snorkeling with just him and a DM, the manta got fresh, then she body-slammed him off the surface and broke a rib. Has a huge goose-egg size of a small basketball. Anyone else have any manta strikes out there?

Hi All, I am on the Big Island near Kona visiting and I need to have my Scubapro regulator serviced. I figure I'll have the annual done here. Which shop would you all suggest?

We will be in Grand Cayman for the first part of February, staying at Morrits and Compass Point each for a week. I have been reading about the wind and waves in Feb. Soooo, if East End is blown out will Ocean Frontiers or Red Sail take you to another dive site area? Would it be better to just...

Hullo all, We will be in Kauai for the first week of July. I can't wait! I am hoping to dive at least two days, and really hoping I can go to Ni'ihau. I was just wondering which company has the most stable boat to do the crossing on? We will be staying in Lihue, so how long of a drive will it...

I did a search and I have been reading a lot on this board and on the Dive OP websites but I am having a hard time nailing down where the dive sites are. I mean what is available? I dove Maui in September and had a wonderful time, I ended up mostly diving shore sites and Molokini. It was...

We were on Maui for 12 days and loved it. My hubby is a non-diver and he spent the vast majority of the time golfing, his favourite was Makena golf course. He golfed Wailea Old Blue, Wailea Gold, Wailea Emerald and Makena courses. We found all sorts of great restaurants by asking locals...

We are planning the last two weeks of November into the very beginning of December. We are thinking of staying one week Playa Hermosa (Guanacaste) and then one week Jaco Beach. That's where I can find timeshares so far. I am hoping to go to Catalina at least once, and do some local diving...

Ok, I just read that most of the OPs leave really early, like 5:30 or 6:30 AM! I am not an early riser, but I love to dive. (I think 8am on holiday is early.) So which Dive Op out of Maui leaves the latest? I like to photograph stuff and there won't be much light that early. I'm in Alaska...

Alaska Airlines just dropped Cancun from it's flight line today! Dang I am so bummed, no more companion pass tickets to Cancun.

Hi All; I have an old Oly Camedia 740 Ultrazoom that I just love but the shutter is going haywire and it is only a 3 mp. I'd like to stick with Oly so I was wondering what everyone thinks of the new Ultrazoom cameras; the 590UZ, 600UZ and 800UZ. I don't think I'll use the zoom underwater...

Just wondering if anyone has heard of Curacao Caribbean Resort? It is available on RCI timeshare and I was thinking about going. We have been all over the Mayan Riviera, Cozumel and the west coast of Mexico, I want to try something different. My hubby doesn't dive but he likes to snorkel...

We went to Coz (first timers) for two weeks. Loved it! We stayed at the Coral Princess in a one bedroom, loved that too. We spent most of our time snorkeling, sunning, meeting new people, walking around and figuring out where to eat next. My favourite eateries were Casa Missione, La Choza...

photo post trying it out

We are going to Cozumel soon and I am hoping to improve my technique for that trip. Any critique will help. I am using a Olympus Camedia 740 Ultrazoom, no strobe yet (the camera doesn't have RAW capabilities). It has U/W white balance that I am reading about but haven't used yet. I have...
