I dove Ni'ihau with Bubbles Below last year on their 35' boat (they also brought a group of divers on their smaller catamaran hulled boat - I think they like to take two boats over there just in case something goes wrong, since it's very remote). The diving was absolutely fantastic...

Thanks for the comments. A few responses (and I'm not even on the clock anymore!): Bobejeans: another place I've been meaning to hit but never have. We actually dropped in, got a table and then had to leave when we found out they had run out of fish (a couple pescavore vegetarians in the...

Just got back from our third trip to Bonaire and, in an attempt to avoid doing my work for a few more precious minutes, I thought I'd post a few of the high and low points from our trip. Overall, the trip was amazing and Bonaire remains one of my favorite places in the world to go diving. Oh...

It's not too late. I ordered my D90 housing from b&h photo video two days before leaving for cozumel. Paid a not totally unreasonable amount for overnight shipping and had it in my hands less than 24 hours after ordering it. It sounds like you're far enough out that you could do 2 or 3 day...

Great - thanks guys! And loved your blog Poog - looks like you guys have a lot of fun up there.

Good to hear - thanks! And nice shots!

I agree with the other posts above. We were there for a month in August of 2006, just before the last coup. News stories at the time were pretty similar to what we're seeing now. Once we got there, we had absolutely no indication that anything was gong on. Fiji is really spread out over a...

I've been using this one (also bought from ST) for a couple years and really like it: OMS SMB. It's not quite 6', but is plenty big and seems to be well made. Mine still looks brand new. It's a little cheaper than the DAN one too.

June 14 - 21 at the Plaza. Think it's too early to start packing my bags and slacking off at work?

I had 16 scubaboard related cookies. I deleted all of them, re-logged in and I have 16 scubaboard related cookies again. But the login still isn't working automatically.

I'm having the same problem. I tried deleting my scubaboard cookies and logging in again, but that didn't fix it. I'm using firefox 3.0.8 if that is relevant.

Any feedback on this? I'm currently facing the exact same dilemma.

Thanks for the report. Going back for my 3rd time in June and can't hardly wait. Interesting to hear that the east side diving didn't seem worth the hassle. I had always wanted to check that side of the island out and was going to try to make it happen this time. I wonder why they didn't...

That's a great suggestion. Tobin was super helpful when I bought my setup and could probably help you decide what's best for you pretty quickly.

I wondered the same thing when I bought my DSS rig a couple years ago, as the BC I replaced would sometimes need some squeezing and contorting to get all the air out of it or to get air to properly balance itself between the two sides of the bladder. I ended up buying the horseshoe shaped wing...

Thanks for the great report. I just got back from Coz as well and am going to try to force myself to write a report once I download my photos. How come you got to see two seahorses and I didn't get to see any on my trip? You really shouldn't hog them.

Another vote for CoCo View here. I have not been to Reef House and can't comment on it, but I could not have been more pleased with our trip to CoCo View and it sounds like exactly what you're looking for. It's located outside of the tourist part of the island and is set up for all the...

I'm going to be on my way through Ketchikan on May 9th and am trying to decide whether it's worth hauling my gear up there to get a dive in. I chatted a bit with the folks at Wind and Water (who are super nice, by the way) and it sounds like they'd be willing to take me out, but I have a few...

Thanks for the great report and for taking me back to CCV for a few minutes. I really need to get back down there...

We got a pretty similar deal from San Francisco. Just under $600/person for roundtrip air and 4 nights at the fiesta americana. It was even cheaper for 5 nights. We weren't planning a cozumel trip, but with prices so cheap, how can one resist?
