We may be diving the GBR in November/December and we will be flying out of LAX. My question is which airport should we fly into? Any recommendations either for or against? Which airline should we book with? Thanks.

Can someone explain what is going on with the American airlines flight LAX-MIA_+GCM? If I try to book business class and go to the seating chart it says that rows 1-7 are not available and we would need to sit in the main cabin. This means they want us to pay business class prices for coach...

Just wanted people to be aware that Global Entry now has a new app. It is available for both apple and android. I am not sure how helpful it is going to be, but is something people should at least be award of so they can make their own decision.

Does anyone know if the Reef Runaround is still in business? I just got a reply from their old contact info saying that they no longer have the business. A google search does not yield anything current with valid information. If they are still in business, would someone please post their...

My question is about Discover Scuba in southern California. I am aware that at least some shops only do the discover scuba in the pool and not in the ocean. Is that true of all (or at last most) shops in SoCal? I have seen shops in other parts of the world doing discover scuba in the ocean...

I have been using Suit Juice to help get into my wetsuit, but it does not seem to be available anymore. Does anyone know what happened to it?

We just got back from a week of diving at Cabanas at Clark's Cay. This was one of the best dive trips we have been on. The good: Excellent visibility on almost all dives; good boat where we did not feel crowded with a good ladder to get back on and generous shade; excellent food which I would...

We would like a hotel recommendation that is in or near the Manilla airport. We will be arriving on August 4 at the International terminal and will be leaving from the domestic terminal on August 5. We are seeing bad recommendations online with advice not to trust hotel photos and that the...

My regulators have been at the shop for an unusually long time because they are not able to get parts for the maintenance. They are an authorized Aqualung repair shop. Anyone have an information about parts shortages for Aqualung regulator maintenance?

On my last dive of the trip, my eon steel locked up. I can understand the notion of locking up in the first place, however there are two issues with this. 1. The computer will not start the 24-hour time to get on the airplane until the entire 48 hours of lockup has ended. This results in 72...

My wife just bought a Sealife Mini and we were wondering what the recommendations are for labeling the camera with her name or initials. On our last dive trip one of the people lost a camera and we found it on the bottom and brought it back when we read the label and realized that it belonged...

Does anyone know about an n95 (or kn95) mask that it waterproof so it will not disintegrate on a dive boat? Also, how do you deal with rinsing your mask on a dive boat that is too high to just reach down and rinse the mask in the ocean? TIA

I asked Dive St. Vincent how they were doing in the volcano and got back this reply "...the water is causing a belly ache even when you cook with it" My question is what is causing the "belly ache?" Is it most likely a bacterium, virus, other parasite, some chemical in the water? Any ideas...

Every time I download dives to DM5, the screen always shows the firmware version. How do I check that I have the latest firmware that I am supposed to have and how do I update it if I do not? TIA

I got a new oceanic mask which I love because it seals and does not leak at all. The problem is the fancy strap that has a loop to hold the snorkle. I have the snorkle in there but the strap is so floppy that the snorkle keeps getting in my way when I am suiting up. Is there a different strap...
