    Trip Report Divi Flamingo July 19-29, 2023 Trip report and video

    Why is the pier by the dive shop closed? We stayed there last year and liked the house reef diving and the proximity to town. We have a timeshare elsewhere that we trade into Divi so we are limited where we can stay on island if going the route.

    "Gold Standard" weight check

    I think it should read: The diver should have just enough weight to be neutrally buoyant with near empty tanks and an empty wing when at safety stop depth.

    Question Updated "Dutch Springs replacement" thread...

    You may be able to do Manasquan River Inlet on an incoming tide which will bring clean water and then jump over to the railroad bridge during slack high tide but I haven't done that. I have done that at Shark River Inlet and Maclearie Park. Either way the viz can turn from 10 feet or more to...

    Question Updated "Dutch Springs replacement" thread...

    Gull Island/Manasquan River railroad bridge has some good diving but if not at slack tide swift currents. Maclearie Park is not subject to current but slack high tide needed as it is shallow and for best vis. You could do those and both Manasquan River and Shark River inlets as dives to make...

    Timeshare Folks - Where Do You Go To?

    Reading through a recent Bonaire v. Roatan thread, both of which I have been to, got me considering another visit to Roatan but it doesn't seem like there is a timeshare there to trade into. What destinations are timesharers trading into for a trip primarily geared towards diving...

    Bonaire Chamber

    What kind of dive profiles are everyone doing on Bonaire that they are getting bent all the time? I didn't even consider DCS when I was there.

    Question Shore snorkel/dive on cruise suggestions?

    Eden Rock Dive Center and attached restaurant. Cruise ship location. Some moor closer. If so, do the giant stride.

    Question Shore snorkel/dive on cruise suggestions?

    I am on Grand Cayman presently and dove Eden Rock on 2 separate days. Easy walking distance from cruise ship disembarkation point. Go to Church St. and make a right. There is a small restaurant on site for after dive food and drinks. Devil's Grotto has some neat swim throughs.

    Tank neck strap on BPW?

    If I need to hang my BP/W to dry (it stays assembled with plate, wing, tank adapter) I usually loop the harness over the back of a chair and it is good to go. True story (not really): My dive buddy was inside of a wreck and I was outside watching him. There was a piece of rod horizontally...

    Tank neck strap on BPW?

    Don't use one on any of the BP/W that I have. Don't own one nor haven't made one - yet. If I was diving from a RIB I might consider adding one as it would make a nice handle for the mate to lift the rig into the boat after doffing, but otherwise, not needed.

    Grand Cayman Dive Buddy Jan 23 - 27 2023

    @bradlw many of my most enjoyable dives are suiting up, throwing a tank on, and swimming out. I will be alone this trip and seems most dive ops at the shore dive spots may ask where my buddy is so trying to avoid an issue. I can tag along with whoever I see suiting up when I get there but if I...

    Trip Report Bonaire - December 24 - December 31 2022

    We made it to Kos Bon So in Rincon when we down there in August. Nice local place that we hit for food and a beer on our way to the park. I like off-the-beaten path spots like that. The park was the highlight of the trip for my wife so it made her list of places to return. :)

    PSA if traveling to a Red Sea liveaboard and you use a yoke fitting

    This^^^. I have experienced this and am glad that I had my adapter which I always carry. Never dive without it available.

    Dennis (lowviz)

    One of the places Dennis liked to dive often was Shark River, preferably late at night and usually alone. So much more peaceful that way. Probably the dive site that gives credence to his screen name as well as location in his signature. Will have to get a few a the guys together and do a...
