Dear scubaboarders: Hello, I own a TUSA mini BCD knife, blunt tip, TBTK11. Its been great, but I had to take it off my inflator hose to add an emergency signaling device during a boat trip, and I misplaced the four stainless screws that make the hose attachment work. I think they are about the...

Free to good home ... Women's seaquest 7mm two piece wetsuit. Supposed to be size 11-12, I wear an 8-10 and I find it a bit of a struggle to get into. Advertised as fitting 5'5", 125-35 lbs. bust 36-38; waist 27-29; hips 36-39. But it actually fits a smaller woman, in my humble opinion. This is...

I returned a couple of weeks ago from a dive trip to the Galapagos (Aug 14-24) organized by Leslie at divethegalapagos. It was one of her whole-boat charters, Estrella del Mar. The diving was excellent to spectacular, but I have to say that the service on board was uneven. Leslie handpicked...

My partner and I spent our March break at TIR this year (I am a college professor ...) and it was lovely experience. Belize City itself is rather underwhelming. But then the fun began -- excellent boat transfer way out to their island, away from the crowds on the other cayes. The island itself...

A recent thread on the scariest dive so far reminds me of a scary dive in the Quadra Island, British Columbia area several years ago. I was a newbie diver and traveling alone. I got matched up with a very nice young guy by the dive/boat operator. my buddy and his friends, a bunch of other...

Let me start by saying up front that this was entirely my fault. I got stung last week on a night dive. The dive operator and the DM briefed us thoroughly. It was at a dive site in Roatan, and it had been raining the day before. The dive op and DM warned us that they usually see a lot of...

Just had a wonderful holiday on Roatan. Stayed at the Reef House Hotel, a small friendly and well run operation east of Cocoview and Fantasy Is. The diving was terrific. Their boats are quite good, not overcrowded, and their divemaster, David, is superb, the best divemaster whom I have ever...

My partner (non-diver) and I are just back from a trip to Saba in the Dutch Antilles. We had a wonderful time. We stayed at Juliana's hotel and I did 14 dives with Sea Saba. The island is not commercialized, its a laid back place with friendly locals, beautiful rain forest clinging to the...

Hi SoCal divers, I'm traveling alone to the LA area in early June and I am taking a few days off work to get some diving in. My plan is to take the ferry to Avalon, Catalina Is., get a hotel room there, and then do boat dives/shore dives June 6 to 9, with a half day on June 10. I've been in...

Hi, I just got back from a long business trip -- and I managed to take a week off to go diving near Quadra Is., BC in late March. I had a blast -- it was mind blowing. I stayed with, and dove with, Abyssal Diving. Earl was a great host. Accommodations were fine, terrific meals, spartan but clean...

Hi there scuba boarders. Like a lot of divers out there, I have been using your forums for info for a while now and I thought I should register and say hello and possibly add my two cents now and then. I am a new diver -- 37 logged dives so far, having been certified about two years ago. Now...
