    Your preferred women's drysuit

    I'm 5'2" and 104 lbs and ended up with a SeaSoft neoprene drysuit. I love it. You must be meticulous with the seals and zipper but by and large it works great. It was custom fit. I wear it almost year round.

    So nauseated

    I get seasick on 2/3's of my dives and I have almost 2000 of them. My sea sickness can be really bad or really mild. It all depends to the stimulus. Sometimes I'm sick for 12 hrs, sometimes not at all. Things I do are to take 1/2 a meclizine the night before and the other half the morning of...

    Suunto D9 Strap problems

    I have the orange Tibby strap for my D6. Just make sure you have the right tools for the adaptor. I ended up having to purchase a new bezel for the computer because one of the screws were stripped.

    Getting to Sabang in April 2020 from Manila?

    I just got back from Scandi Divers Sabang Beach where they booked a private high speed boat for us. I believe it was the Hop n Go charter that is owned by the mayor of Sabang. They own 2 fiberglass boats. Here is our quote: PRIVATE VAN + PRIVATE SPEEDBOAT (water taxi) - One way private...

    What to wear immediately after a dive?

    I swear by my Undress! The Undress Version 4 - the #1 Dress on Kickstarter is back! It's a dress changing station! I can get out of my wet bikini in a minute flat in the middle of dive shop without exposing myself to a sundress.

    Fire on dive boat Conception in CA

    If it was an explosion, the electrical could be out resulting in no lights. It world be tough to even find the emergency hatch if they knew where it was. My heart goes out to everyone!

    Catalina Island trip report

    The day tripping mainlanders use the luggage service at the base of the pier to haul our gear from the ferry to the dive park. They tag your bags and collect the fee, I forget what the charge is now. By the time you stroll to the dive park, your bags are there to start your set up. At the end...

    Diving without predetermined buddy

    I was on a 2 day boat to an advanced dive site and found I was the senior person (1600 dives) on the boat. The boat had a light load 13/25 max and it was the most frustrating thing. I buddied up with someone on the first dive and he ran out of air at my turnaround point at 20 min. Luckily it...

    Motion sickness ???

    I call myself a Barfie Mermaid. I've tossed cookies on at least 1/3 of all my 1500 dives. When I cut Scopalamine patches, the active ingredients tend to ooze out the cut edge. Dry mouth and sleepiness are not fun. What works for me now is 1/2 Bonine the night before and the rest the morning...

    Does anyone offer >60 min dives in Puerto Galera?

    You really need to build trust with the operator to dive Verde Island and to have >60 min dives. They need to know your abilities and SAC rates and that takes time. I dove with a guy on a rebreather, when we went up for the surface interval, he stayed down, and came back up when we were ready...

    Fins for small feet with all the power

    Let me echo finding full soled booties first! Then find the fins. For my size 5 feet, I like Seasoft's XXXS Stealth 6mm Bootie. Then you can use whatever fin you want. Unfortunately they don't make the XXXS in their thinner 3 mm SunRay bootie but your foot is bigger than mine and you might...
