It sounds like your workouts of choice involve impact exercises. Pilates is really good for all around strength and flexibility. I've found it to be great for muscle imbalances and pain. Particularly pilates reformer classes. A month doesn't give you much time for that but there are many...

What a fighter. RIP Bill. Such a unique, kind person. Brilliant mind and a great sense of humor. I was fortunate to dive with Bill on a Red Sea trip. Will not forget this man. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. This is very sad news. Dr. Bill at the pyramids of Giza.

I believe on Kadavu the resort with the closest access to the Great Astrolabe reef is Matava Eco Resort As far as SavuSavu goes, I have been getting notifications that the Cousteau resort there opened December 1st.

Your best bet might be to get in touch with one of the shark dive operators out of Pacific Harbour. My stay at the Shangri-La was in 1999 so I don't know how applicable it would be now. It was one of my first big dive trips and I was impressed with the Shangi-La's dive operation. The staff...

If you want to make the most of your time and are there for the diving you don't want to spend it traveling. My recommendation would be to pick a dive resort off the big island and stay there. It's all spectacularly beautiful except for parts of Suva, the capital city on the east coast of Viti...

Roots Camp Red Sea has a house reef that was decent. It is located outside of El Quseir which is between Hurghada and Marsa Alam. About 132 km from Hurghada and about 87 km from Marsa Alam. It is a camp with various types of accommodations from eco huts to deluxe. There is a great pool and...

My back is miserable on land but I am fortunate it rarely bothers me in the water. As ColoDale said keeping your body in one position for any length of time can cause issues. Some moves to stretch can be subtle and can make a difference. Years of back exercises and back stretching have helped...

Possibly look at military bags like deployment bags or load out bags. Seldom marked. Usually very durable.

Dial *67 before the number when you call. Hide your number. Don't dial the 1. I use Paypal Credit. Used to be Paypal Bill Me Later. It's a different bank than regular Paypal. I pretty much stopped using the regular Paypal account when it was hacked and I was told it would take up to 60 days...

This has made US news. Hopefully it will get into the right hands. Italian hospital says it's turning scuba masks into ventilators as supplies run low

Maybe try Cabela's site. If you find one you like, please come back and update. I've been looking too. Was thinking about this one: Wildgame Innovations Wraith 16 Trail Camera with Viewer Combo : Cabela's No personal experience with this brand though.

Thanks Pete. I believe I found the two piece plastic one on ebay that will get to me in about 10 days. It was cheap so if I can't get it on......well. The 26mm could be sent from China and arrive sometime in October. In the meantime I did a checkout dive with this one from Amazon...

Timely. I came across this old snorkel marked OceanMaster and missing a clip. Can you recommend the best alternative clip you found that I could obtain quickly? I'd like to have it as a spare for an upcoming trip. Thanks for the info.

The Fourth Element Amphibians were a recommendation from my LDS. They are the best booties I have ever owned. Have only used them for tropical diving and the fit is good for "narrower" women's feet. Boots - Fourth Element

Thanks for the link Pinecube. Answered many questions after watching the documentary.

This is now on Netflix. Diving Into the Unknown | Netflix Discovered this a few days after I purchased it as a download on Amazon (US) but it was well worth the $9.99. ($2.99 to rent). It is quite a story. The documentary is well done but I had quite a few technical questions that weren't...

A couple of years ago I did combination trip. Komodo liveaboard via Bali. Then Lembeh, NE Sulawesi, for the macro/muck diving. Both a photographers paradise. No wrecks to speak of. There was a shore dive in Bali to the Liberty Wreck. It was OK. A bit crowded.

Delta (Air France) has a direct flight from Salt Lake City to Paris. Not certain if Phoenix has the same. I booked Dr. Bill's Red Sea trip, August 14-28, 2015 approximately 3 weeks in advance. Flew SLC to Paris to Cairo with no additional layovers. Then return direct to SLC from Paris for...

Bill Thanks so much for providing the lovely trip summaries and photos. So well done. Many people have asked about the trip and I have referred them here for a more articulate and thorough account than I could provide. It was quite the experience.

Ok, nice. This one is over six years old and I've always been a major proponent for it. Rather disappointing. It happened on the 15th dive this trip and I'm now going on dive 50. I miss it but my old Aeris back up has been good to me so far.
