Ya know, I deleted all my profile info and redirected my old account to a bogus email addy in frustration with what I saw going on here. Didn't plan on coming back. But this "woe is me" victim routine and the continual misdirection you're pulling demanded at least one last attempt at a...

Wow. Then you typed something completely different than what showed up in the thread under your name. You might want to check on that when doing all that incredible maintenance that prevents you from seeing the entire world wide web beyond your own site. Nice save. Really. I mean, I...

It's a concentration thing. You can only really get fresh water into the button areas when pressing (it sucks in on the release). if you've let a LOT of salt accumulate, it's going to take several such 'flushes' to dissolve enough of it to not leave crystals. Once clean, it shouldn't take...

But it was linked here, and one presumes given your involvement here that you know how to use "teh Internets". Or does information outside of Scubaboard not count? I understand you do business with him and can't leap wholeheartedly onto an internet lynching. But passing on comments like...

I was one of those "noob" divers pretty much when the wife and I did our St. Maarten / Saba trip. So my 2005 trip report just oozes enthusiasm about the diving even though at the time after seeing Saba we saw how bland the SXM diving was by comparison. Looking back now, the diving would still...

I haven't been there in some time, but St. Maarten diving isn't the greatest. I enjoyed it when I was there, but if you've got someone on the fence I'm not sure it's going to be the best selling point. The dive operator I used the most was Dive Safaris (Dive Safaris - St Maarten's Best Scuba...

Wow, that's gorgeous, AI or not. Sure to be wayyyy outta my price range though. (sigh)

Sounds like your settings are all correct. I assume the DS-125s are both S/N 5000 or higher, or if not have had the latest update to work with the TTL board in the housing? (I don't work for Ike, just trying to be helpful.)

Which housing do you have? Olympus or Ikelite? I'm guessing Oly from the indication you're using the 14-54 in a flat port, but not sure. I don't have experience with the Olympus housings, but if I'm wrong and you're using Ikelite re-ping me and I can give you some impressions, although I got...

oops - internet burped

I remember the huge nightclub building kind of across the street from Evergreen (inland vs. shoreline side) - name escapes me but I want to say it was somehow related to a frog or lizard or something (or maybe that was just their sign 'mascot'). Anyway, when we were just up the street @ the...

Never mind - looks like Avis's website lets you directly book one-way rentals from Mayaguez airport to San Juan airport. So quite possibly the other standard US rental outfits will too.

Hi. I'm looking at booking the Juliet which leaves/returns from Mayaguez, PR for diving around Mona and Desecheo. Plan is to fly into San Juan and just do the van transfer trip the following day for the liveaboard departure. After the boat returns we'd like to plan on spending another 3...

Jean: Thanks from me too for the response. I'm still not a fan of screw or bayonet mounts for this diameter aperture, unlike Steve (sorry) and hope you didn't think my comments were bashing. I firmly "believe" the rocking is just a psychological issue, as I've never had a problem. But it...

I am not with Ikelite, just chiming in. I tend to agree with you that the 2-port attach seems scary at the surface. I've frequently thought 3 at 120 degrees would be plenty - and I wish that one of the three was a 'split' foot fitting over a raised dashmark on the extension to prevent rotation...

A one-day-per-island cruise isn't the best way to get many dives in. Check thru the cruise lines as to how much the dives cost, and what the cost is for 'resort' dives (uncertified) vs. certified. Of the islands listed you're not going to get 'cage diving' in any of them to my knowledge...

My wife has the same issue - she HATES anything pressing on (or even lightly touching) the front of her throat. The wetsuit can be an irritant - especially above water, with the weight of the rig trying to 'slide' the wetsuit down your back and adding pressure to the front of the neck. You...

Thanks to those of you who have PMed me for more info. Here's a brief distallation of what I know as of right now, to get things a bit more current: 1. Anchorage did take MINOR damage from Omar, but is fully operational. 2. To my knowledge, Anchorage still does not take the cruise ship...

I've been to both as well and you've gotten plenty of good advice from the prior posters. I'd have a hard time calling it myself. I think the diving in Saba might have been a bit better than Dom, but not by a heck of a lot. Both are equally 'hard' to get to (Saba usually on the WinAir from...

NID gets consistently good reviews. I've dove with Anchorage and they were great as well...probably better now that Izzy (one of the guys pivotal in getting the whole Soufriere preserve set up) is now running their dive operations. He and Simon from NID are good friends. NID probably has some...
