What is the nicest dive resort in puerto galera? I know that there is probably nothing equivalent to the makati shangri-la, but what is the nicest?

american is 50# for domestic but is still 70# for international

I think your instincts are right on the mark on this one. You shouldn't go. Please drop me a private message with your friends contact info and I will help her out by going (because thats the kind of guy I am).

Successful sales and customer satisfaction is completely about beating expectations. Those expectations could be expectations that you have set, or could be your client's preconceived notions. Many people may want to dive regardless of the conditions. For these people, saying negative things...

raviepoo I had the same experience at a LDS. I bought a BC that the dive shop said fit, but ended up being too big. They let me return it though which was good. I bought my regs from leisurepro and assembled it myself. The reg was not adjusted properly (low flow) so I had the initial service...

Rick, I don't know if you know this or not, but Cancun in March is spring break time. This is the time when US college students get a week off. Cancun is the craziest spring break party destination - it may not be worth it to dive... I will be there at the end of march and am still trying to...

I had this post in travel discussions, but didn't get many replies. We are currently looking to stay at the Sandals Grande St. Lucian. I have read all the comments about this place so far and am looking for someone with experience or a friends experience that may not have posted a trip report...

Also the 50# weight limits are generally for domestic flights. At least on american, international flights are still at 70.

I am looking for suggestions for a caribbean (southeast asia is also a possibility) honeymoon location April 6-13th. I love to dive but my fiance does not (and will not). I am looking for a place with 4 or 5 star accomodations or secluded beach villas. Over water bungalows on stilts look...

You can search the board for pocket. Rest assured you are not the only person who refuses to pay $49 for .49 worth of material. If you go to target/rei/walmart you can find day/belt packs. It turns out that the cheapest packs are the ones with no padding. They are perfect for diving. I have one...

It always seemed a little odd to me that dive shops organized their own trips. A small business has to focus and really figure out where their highest ROIC (or time) is going to be. If they aren't making money on the travel, then they should partner with travel agencies and let the travel agency...

I think your thread got hijacked again... When I was shopping for a new BC, I based my decision on things that I had actual issues about based on my old BC. I wasn't too worried about things that didn't cause problems in my day to day diving. Here are some of the criteria that I used: 1)...

In the past I would have scoffed at anxiety because I never understood it. However recently I was forced to sit in the 3rd row of seats in a small SUV where the ceiling height was only a few inches above my head and the floor was too high so that my knees were slightly above my waist. In...

Running a business at breakeven is incredibly tough, most people end up losing money and go out of business. I personally would not want to spend my retirement with that kind of stress unless I had a ton of money. As someone mentioned you can get your fix working in a dive shop first, getting an...

I am planning to go out the weekend of Feb 28th-March 2.

I just got back from my trip (2 weeks). We did the normal costa rica tour things: Tortuguero - we stayed at mawamba lodge and toured the rainforest for 2 days. Arenal - stayed at tabacon resort - awesome hot springs and a great spa. Did a horseback riding trip to the volcano which was fun...

There are quite a number of posts on airline baggage charges for SCUBA. Airlines all treat scuba equipment differently so it doesn't make sense to say "I have travelled for X years without a problem" unless you state what airline you always or typically use. US Air is one of the worst for...

I am going to costa rica this Dec 22-Jan 8 and am looking to understand where I can dive. We will be staying manuel san antonio park for most of the trip, but as I understand it the best diving is more northwest. Is it worth it to go northwest? How long does it take (no car so will have to...

Regarding carrying a wet drysuit in a pelican. My case is about 62 pounds with my gear dry. That means if it is wet I might go over the limit. The 24 hour no fly is perfect for completely drying out my gear. I have found though that my gear will not dry overnight unless I have air...

I will probably be there (with non diving fiance). We live in town and she has never really been camping so I don't really know what will happen - probably end up sleeping at home. :)
