Great input, everyone. I was talking about this with another diver last night. He told me that I should be focused on features that I feel are important. So, assuming that the camera takes a decent picture... 1. flash recovery time & effectiveness 2. point-and-shoot is good enough...

Thanks for all the replies! I think it happened about 12-15 meters down. Not very deep. No worries... I was surprised it lasted as long as it did. :) Snow, I'm always wary of used gear. I know not everyone is as AR as I tend to be. Mike, how do you like your Canon? Have you used it...

yep. it's dead. :D Why am I smiling? Because I paid like 40 dollars for this crappy underwater camera (max depth 22 meters) five years ago. It was a total PITA to reload with film. I figured it would last me a summer of diving. I got my money out of it and some nice snapshots. Now...

I'm surprised about your experience. Ras Mo is pretty intense... though certainly better in the summer months. Naama Bay & Sharm should have enough stuff to do in the evenings so you're not too bored. Did you go to Naama? The Thistlegorm is always busy these days. Five years ago, it...

I haven't had any personal experience with hotels in the area, but I just came back from a weekend of diving. One day was on the reefs near Tiran... nice diving, a little hazy. The next day was at the Thistlegorm... and I was starting to get a headcold. :( The Red Sea is pretty awesome...

Hi Mike! Thank you for replying. The lenses sure *look* flat, unscratched and clear. I don't see. It's possible my strap could be too tight. I didn't think about the strap. 1. dehydration isn't an issue for me. I drink water like... uhhh... a fish... before diving. :) 2. I like...

Lord1234, I am a moderate hookah smoker. Maybe a couple times a week with a glass of wine. But I can always tell the difference if I smoke the night before I dive (a formely frequent occurence for me in Egypt). Having tried many brands of the molasses-soaked tobacco, I'm convinced that...

Hi all! I've been experiencing headaches underwater for a while now. Before a dive, I'm fine. Sinuses are clear. Equalization is fine throughout the dive. But these headaches are pounding by the time I'm finished with 45 minutes u/w. I've taken to gobbling some tylenol before I dive in...

Someone called me this morning to tell me about it. I usually avoid the news because it's so depressing. I have friends in Sharm, it's a beautiful little town. I hope everything is okay. Why would someone bomb a town like that? :( -Lawrence

Well said. I was actually told by a Funjet "customer service rep" (a.k.a. phone-drone) that if I had booked a full vacation with them, they would be more likely to help me out. Funjet is really squirming... making any excuse to not fulfill even what they've posted on their website. Six...

This is the information that I got from my hostess in Cozumel. Hope it'll be helpful to someone.

Almost 6 hours later... after being bounced between Expedia and Funjet... Funjet won't honor their posted policy of flying me into Cancun and providing a coupon for the ferry. Why? Because I purchased the ticket through Expedia, not Funjet directly. But they would sell me a ticket directly...

I really love this place! Thank you for the great info! So... - bus from Cancun airport to Ferry. - ferry to Czm. - cab from dock to where I'm staying. Bus & ferry costs per person?

Oh, I called Funjet... they got an earful from me.

Anyone know if there are there ferries that leave earlier than 8? How long is the trip from the dock to the airport in Cancun? Thinking about the return flight, if I can swing it.

I'm on the phone with Funjet again. Story changed to "all charter flights cancelled" until September. :( Looks like I'm screwed. So much for my vacation before I go back to the middle east.

Welcome! :banana: New Hampshire is beautiful. I spent a weekend up there a couple of years ago.

Services will be at Downing Funeral Home on Monday the 12th. Due to the condition of the body, this will be a closed casket service. Please send your donations to the 'Think Before You Say Things To Your Wife Foundation' in Dallas, Texas. :blink:

It's 6am local time... I called and a nice lady gave me the same information from yesterday. With as stretched financially as the airline industry is, I'd be very surprised if Funjet could close down a major destination route like Cozumel for very long. I hope the lady is correct. :blink:

Confirmed. Funjet charter flights operating from 2 August (forward) are still a go. Funjet: 1-888-558-6654 Press 3. Press 2.
