    Maui Dive Op Recommendations

    I had a great experience with Prodiver Maui, in October 2021, and they're located in Kihei. Despite the still present restrictions dictated by the pandemic, they were accommodating and professional. I only did shore dives with them but I had a blast.

    URGENT - Kauai Shore Diving

    Hi, Cruzbound. I'd highly recommend Seasport Divers in Po'ipu. You can meet them at their shop and they will drive you in one of their vans to Koloa landing. You can leave your belongings in the van while you're underwater or you could leave them at the diveshop. Koloa landing is only a couple...

    I want to be fit & trim - but HATE exercising!

    It's all about enjoying life, Jenny, and more important, the long term habits. Indulging yourself occasionally is perfectly fine, so long as you do not do so with a perception of guilt. That in itself triggers the autonomic nervous system to respond in an unfavorable way. Have fun! Coach Izzy

    I want to be fit & trim - but HATE exercising!

    Dang, Jenny! It's good to be remembered. So happy you've been making so much progress, and give kudos to yourself. After all, YOU did the work, YOU followed through. As to the sentiment of the original post--hating exercise but wanting the results--I cannot blame the OP. Unfortunately, exercise...

    Heading to Bonaire in August

    As of 2010, the U.S. Dollar is the currency in Bonaire. As to AMEX, the only place I found that accepts American Express is a boutique in the downtown area. Visa and Mastercard are accepted in pretty much every business.

    1st trip to Bonaire! Lots of questions.

    Another enthusiastic YES for VIP Diving. You can go in guided dives or just get tanks and gear. Drop them a line if you get a chance :)

    Restaurant Suggestions....

    I don't know about rotisserie chicken but if you're willing to try something different, the "Kip Tukkie" smoked chicken truck parks at Van den Tweel on Wednesday afternoons. My wife and I loved it! Goes well with salad and an ice-cold Amstel Bright. Enjoy!

    Recommendations Unlimited diving (Nitrox) options

    I stayed at Den Laman last year and I used VIP Diving. I was quite happy with their service and their service is top notch. Have fun!

    suggestions please: resort and dive operator in Bonaire in September

    My wife and I stayed at Den Laman last week of August-first week of September. My personal opinion is that Coco Beach--the facility you're referring to--is the embodiment of cheap, vulgar tourism. The first day of our stay, we were taken aback by the presence of jet skies. We've been traveling...

    Another Buddy Dive question regarding DIN tank valves

    If you use VIP diving you don't have to bring yoke adapters. Their tanks go from yoke to DIN via a plug in the tank valve. I was so thrilled to find this out and since I plan on using VIP from now on, it'll be one less thing for me to pack. I was in Bonaire end of August, beginning of September...
