    Trip Report *live* Indo Aggressor Komodo deep South trip quarantine @ LBJ March 2024

    Unfortunately for those of us on this trip, Aggressor franchise's only firm response is to have us attempt to make insurance claim of this trip they would not consider cancelled. "So that there will be no exceptions for it because it would not be 'fair' for their customers." They look forward...

    Trip Report *live* Indo Aggressor Komodo deep South trip quarantine @ LBJ March 2024

    @bakodiver391 [/USER] Exactly. Do u realize the irony in complaining to corrupt 3rd world government? Honestly I even fancied perhaps we could bribe the port authoritie while stuck on board. The point to make here is that we booked with 1st world based companies and they deal with us as the...

    Trip Report *live* Indo Aggressor Komodo deep South trip quarantine @ LBJ March 2024

    There are some amazing sites in South Komodo that really enticed me hence I took the gamble that the raining season of the North opens up the south according to some publications. I am ambivalent about not getting any trip insurance this time given some feed backs here. Expensive lesson here...

    Trip Report *live* Indo Aggressor Komodo deep South trip quarantine @ LBJ March 2024

    Update 3/17 Port band was to last til 3/20. It was lifted 3/17 about 1pm ironically with the trip ending 3/18. There is an offer for extending the trip if the remaining guest is willing to pay more! While those on board couldnt be allowed dive, a DM/guide took the crew member out to do OW...

    Trip Report *live* Indo Aggressor Komodo deep South trip quarantine @ LBJ March 2024

    Update 3/15 About half of the guests now remain on board since rebooking flights & hotel mean more money & time lost for them. The rest just "bit the bullet" and walked the plank. Port is to remain closed for 3/16 which was suppose to open. 3/17 is last day of dive trip is not guarantee either.

    Trip Report *live* Indo Aggressor Komodo deep South trip quarantine @ LBJ March 2024

    Some add'l details update. Several of us requested 15L tanks and more specifically steel tanks for HP and were told they are available by all the booking parties. But on close examination. They were 13.2 L/100 Cu Ft LP AL tanks which we were going to be charged per tank for 15L.

    Trip Report *live* Indo Aggressor Komodo deep South trip quarantine @ LBJ March 2024

    You touched on some great details which we were answered w a hard "NO" early on by the Aggressor VP spoke person. I believe he told one of the guest that the trip is considered COMPLETE once we boarded even though in harbor with no diving done from the LOB. That may even screw up those who...

    Soliciting Feedback on Dive Insurance; DAN or Dive Assure & Why

    Thanks for the share. I looked at the IMG Patriot Multi Trip Plan. I'm not seeing openly stated scuba dive as coverage. They did have an additional $85 adventure sports on top of the 200 premium. You didn't have to get that?

    Stepping up from Sony Action cam to Full frame (FX3). Too much of a jump?

    I was holding out for the FX30 to see if overall size will be smaller with a lower cost. Looks like housing size is the same. Still on the fence since I mostly travel to tropical water and luggage weight is starting to become a problem w my current amount of gear. How are you guys hauling...

    Stepping up from Sony Action cam to Full frame (FX3). Too much of a jump?

    Thanks for chiming in re ur experiences. I was hoping the Sony A6000 series would eventually get up in the 4k60p count. But doesn't seem like that is happening w the newer A6600. So far FX3 seem to be the smaller size but still quite massive esp w all that added

    Stepping up from Sony Action cam to Full frame (FX3). Too much of a jump?

    I been shooting videos for several years with a Sony action cam Fdrx3000 and Gopro. Recently added a insta360 x2. The action cam is just not doing it for me any more w limited zoom and battery capacity. I had been holding off hoping eventually a compact or subcompact cameral that can do...
