my Sister just bought a home near Hilo. Im spending 11 days there soon. It’s a work trip im remodeling a room but a day diving might occur. Eventually i will ditch a full set of dive gear at her house. But I think this trip will require me to rent it. Given all four checked bags will be full of...

I am well informed in the air consumption area. But recently found something out. My oxygen levels are low not alarming just low. Over the years start till today I tried many things to improve my air consumption. At first the blame is newbie faults now hovering in the 250 plus dive area its not...

we have finally had enough covid fun and games and are heading to Bonaire it seems to be the go to for us and traveling there is more obtainable right now than something far far away I think anyway i think this might be the sixth trip. You’d think someone on his sixth trip to Bonaire would not...

Well I figured out my covid vacation. I’m going to spend six months recovering from a shoulder surgery. Ive been on the fence as my chances of a great recovery are only so so. It’s gotten worse over the last two years and covid has put a damper on most things I really like to do any way, I was...

Ive been reading here and other places seems like theres some that are traveling regardless. Whats your overall view on it. Are we I or us being selfish for thinking about traveling out of the country or even to say Florida just to dive. It could be several years before this really is under...

Unfortunately my boat accessories have been on hold physically Covid has presented me a weird life alteration. And oddly instead of accomplishing my dreams ( they do haunt my dreams) of all the stuff I’m going to build for my boat Ive wrapped up two house projects taken a month off to fish and...

If no direct medical link is found ? I’m also thinking it’s a muscular thing. When my kids were small I got pains similar to what you described after carrying them around on weekends. I worked a lot then sixty to seventy hour weeks and a sixty mile commute so I rarely carried them daily. my...

Block them from UV exposure as well. My garage has a window right where I had to place my rack. I have 5 divers in the family so its a chunk of real estate for storage. I blocked the window with thick foam and have a curtain that pulls around the gear its cloth so it breathes. But UV exposure on...

Saturday there were non stop flights from LAX to Fort Lauderdale or Miami on the spot for $49 including taxes and fees. I was happy to be headed home and am now glad I did not opt to extend my trip.

I am happy to be off the ship. This was not a highlighted vacation in my book however it will be one we will remember so theres that. From what I heard as we disembarked quite a few cruise lines are putting all cruises on hold cleaning there shops top to bottom and waiting for what ever is...

First my advice for people getting ready to book a cruise any time soon and something I will do from now on. Get fully refundable trip insurance coverage for any reason at any time not ones that require certain things to happen and coverage of air fare hotel and transportation. Book all shore...

I had a sinus lift bone graft and implant that all done at the same time. Fairly complex upper jaw sever degradation of the jaw to boot. I was on a flight for a dive trip the day I was released to dive by my dentist which was I think 90 days from the actual procedure. Everything went just fine...

We ended up in a cruise last feb when my main dive buddy had serious accident the week before our two and week trip to Florida. Yeh he got a JOB. I booked a last minute cruise on a grey hair cruise most were over 50 it was really a great trip. So much so that six of us are on a cruise out of Las...

In hopes that this gets re read by those participating in my post. What diameter would you prefer on the hand rails. I’m kind of torn between 1 1/4” and 1 1/2”. A lot of my diving will be done with gloves on and personally I think the smaller rail might work better with gloves but I really dont...

Thanks for the confirmation. Its not something that will happen that often but its better to know in advance before I screw something up.

Any advice on taking your gear on a road trip after diving and exposing it to very cold weather. This wont be something I will experience often but it is something that could happen. It will be in the back of a truck bed under a canopy. I will keep the regulators up front. What may occur next...

Thats pretty cool to know I will check that out. My buddies and I have boats so we never think very long about shore diving.

Beyond all the reasons of saving the world which I’m also for. I’m a cancer survivor that really got lucky a few weeks longer before I was diagnosed and I’d be worm dirt. UV causes cancer there about to relable sun expos to radiation exposure won’t change our views but our next generation will...

Something you should do before closing up your life in Seattle and moving to south Florida is spend at least a few weeks straight there in August and you should probably experience spring break as well so you know how hot Florida really is and I get how you want to move from Seattle I think...

Things went better today, I searched a little deeper in Mexico on this forum a bit more out of the cruise heading just Mexico, found more info theres a lot less to find on the west side of Mexico, I havent booked but I have solid information from several places in each port. Hoping Cabo Private...
