    PT-059 Manual says to remove o-ring when flying.

    I worried about deforming (stretching out) or damaging the o-ring during removal so I left it in BUT I did not close the case all the way. The closing dial was only rotated halfway around because I knew there would be a problem if I closed it. PT-059 was always in carry on.

    Keep hair out of mask?

    I like the looks of that hood, especially the blue marbled one. I have something similar I use for hiking to keep my ears warm and it holds my hair out of the way without feeling restrictive. I have a small head too. I tried The Scap and it came off. That flowered cap is only for the bold...

    Another new Canadian, Edmonton, AB this time.

    Welcome and hello from a fellow Edmontonian. I also went to Cozumel for my first dives after getting OW and decided to stick with warm water after finishing my OW dives in Jasper.

    TG5/6 as travel camera

    A similar thing happened with my Olympus Tough 8000 circa 2009 and I found it confusing so I bought extra batteries and used the recharger instead of the USB cord. Back then the recharger was included in the basic kit.

    TG5/6 as travel camera

    If your daughter is used to SLR quality images the other advantages of the TG5 over a camera phone are: 1) being able to shoot in RAW for better editing over JPG; 2) better memory card size available over a phone; 3) better battery life or being able to swap out to a fresh battery on the go if...

    TG5/6 as travel camera

    Why not? It's compact and rugged. It's ideal for snow sports, travel, etc. The first person I met who had the TG5 used it on all his mountain hikes and travel. At the very least I would recommend the silicone sleeve for it to protect from scratches. If lots of snorkeling will be done I would...

    Tooth squeeze?!!

    Tooth squeeze can occur with a cracked/loose filling or abscess. In either case there is trapped gas.

    Whats normal on a dive boat?

    The most number of people I've been on a boat with would be 20 but it was split up into groups with their own dive master depending on experience, gas, courses, etc. The largest group I've been in would be 6 but mostly 2-4 with no time restriction other than getting low on air. I have studiously...

    Reef friendly sunscreen and hair products

    Just found this thread and I did this on my last two dive trips, due to laziness or shower access issues. Showers meant either trekking up and down a steep rocky trail to the shower room, using a cramped shower on a boat or being on a day boat for 3 dives with no shower. The leave-in conditioner...

    Suggestions on where to buy SIM card DPS or other?

    I have never saved any settings either and I have used SIM cards from Mexico, Malaysia and Indonesia on two different Android phones. At most I have only done a reboot to get the new SIM card details showing up. Just to clarify, Telkomsel is the only provider that covers the whole country and...

    Highly recommended! Dive+ color correction app for free

    It shouldn't matter as long as you only submitted the *jpg file for correction. Otherwise try contacting the Dive+ folks through the app: SIGN IN----SETTINGS (top right corner)---FEEDBACK

    Highly recommended! Dive+ color correction app for free

    It could be a formatting issue. I don't know about photos but when I used Dive+ for video I had to convert my *.mov files to *mp4 first before I could save them without seeing a similar error message. I could still view the corrected *.mov video on the app, just couldn't save it. I've only used...

    Suggestions on where to buy SIM card DPS or other?

    The law to register the SIM is recent. Even locals need to register their SIM cards. Supposedly a non-registered card may work for a couple of days then it won't. I bought a SIM from Telkommsel at DPS airport. 21 GB for 250,000 IDR a few weeks ago. It worked great in Sanur, Tulamben and Labuan...

    Booking domestic flights from abroad

    I booked a return flight directly through Garuda from DPS-LBJ and back again for July and Aug. It was booked months ago. I received several notices of flight consolidations for my travel days that went from 3 flights per day to one flight. The only issue I had was the return flight they...

    Liveaboard with fewer old people?

    Aren't you as old as you feel? Or act? I'm at the median age for the average adult activity group. I meet people younger than me who claim they are too old to try new things.That's a negative attitude I don't like being around. It might be more reasonable to say you're too old to become the...

    SUUNTO Recall

    @jhogan55 thanks for the link. I have completed my details. Let's hope this leads to some action. It's been 3 years since I have used my Zoop as it's now only good to use as a glorified waterproof beach/pool watch.

    SUUNTO Recall

    @jhogan55 is there a group listed already for Suunto under your link? I didn't see anything under their list of class actions nor did anything show up when doing a search for "Suunto".
