I planned to get to that Brisas Guardalavaca with the family on January 21st. I opted instead to save a few bucks and took a super blowout deal on a Puerto Plata resort. Seems like I should have spent the money - this sounds great.

Just my opinion, but it's about time. The US has been at odds with Cuba much longer than it was with either Germany or Japan, and in the case of Cuba, not much really happened.

I went on a dive trip to Marea Del Portillo in October. For a full review, look here:Cuba trip report | Facebook In short, super fun place. The dive staff great, the gear was rubbish, The dive sites were pretty good, though a tropical storm just before our arrival had the viz kinda mucked...

Are the prices similar among the different operators in Puerta Plata? I will be at the Riu Mambo with my family in two weeks and would like to go for a few dives with my sons. As the Riu complex is the furthest from Puerto Plata and Sosua, ScubaCaribe, the on-site dive center would obviously...

See my pm.

I should mention, I am not posting this vindictively or anything, I just thought that since it was reading these two or three threads that caused me to choose Coastal in the first place, I should speak up. R

I dove with Coastal Mid October with my 15 year old son. Mid October is slow season in Myrtle Beach, so in order to make a charter practical, I guess they have to get creative. On the morning of the 20th, I went on my first diving/fishing charter. 4 divers, 8 or 9 fishermen, really cold...

(Very Late) LOL, Cameron

A really late reply, but... Wow, James, what photos. I am hoping to get to Saba for one day in March during my SXM vacation. Ritchard

Me too me too

Dear Oren and Bob, Thanks for taking the discussion to such an adult level. Care to get back on topic? R

I am one of the Tech divers you are talking about. I don't use a flag. Once I go under at the end of the pier, I am not coming up for anything. I make the trip to and from the drop off with my belly scraping the rocks. That place - the boat traffic - scares the Bejeezus out of me. As far as...

Buddy and I went to BBP yesterday and did some line repair work. We were followed by another diver who completed the job, running some more new line, and tightening up all the loose stuff. It is in good shape now, but a new project must be undertaken to tidy up all the old cut and abandoned...

You really are quite the troll, aren't you, Jurassic diver? You have no consistency in your ideas or arguments, and consistently bait whomever you're talking with. I don't know if you can dive worth a damn, but you are certainly a waste of time here.

three words: simpler is better. a simple backplate with a single piece of webbing is the simplest and most reliable system available. Aim for that. An OMS single wing is a good choice, a DiveRite Superwing is WAY too much. All of the major brands offer a nice single wing, don't...

It's not actually done as a surface swim; you descent right off the dock, and there is a line to the wreck. Ritchard

Gdog: Me and 39 Toronto divers - watch out for the Canadians - will be your neighbours for your stay. We'll be the bleached white folks around the pool. We're diving with Aqua Safari Christi: Are there any updates since your late November posting about reefs being open? 10...

You know, we all are pretty good at complaining when things don't go the way we want; I try hard to give credit where credit is due. I have two recent experiences to report on. First, I have a couple of Ikelite PClights as backups. One stopped working right. I figured I needed a particular...
