In our 3x trips to Brac Reef Resort, I am thinking now that one day they actually offered a trip over to Bloody Bay Wall, and for some reason we decided to stay with the other boat/group and not go. I can't remember now why? LOL. But since both resorts have more than one boat, I'm sure if you...

My husband and I have been to Brac Reef Resort 3x, the last time was 2014 prior the renovation. From the pictures I've seen it looks really beautiful. However, we were never able to dive Bloody Bay Wall. Someone posted that if you stay on Brac you get one day to go over to Little and dive Bloody...

First, I wish I was going on that trip! We were on the CEXII in 2008 and loved it. It was our first liveaboard. We were in cabin #3, and at that time it had a shoe cubby on the wall that a prior guest had left and it was great for storing small items. I bought one afterwards for trips like this...

I wish someone would start a new Kona Aggressor. We never had the opportunity to go, and we were planning on it in the next year or two. Waited too long!

Jennifer, I agree with you about coffee on Aggressor, but I DO LOVE Aggressor liveaboards otherwise! To be fair, I don't find coffee any good on any of my dive trips. Usually in one of those big carafe things that has been sitting for hours.

Hi, I totally agree that a French Press is wonderful. I do think the best coffee is about the coffee itself and the way it is brewed! I think if you ask @Kimela or some of the other coffee lovers on here, they probably feel it is as much, probably more, about the coffee itself. I do not roast or...

We dove Grenada off a cruise years ago, probably back in 2007. It was really good diving! I can't remember the dive ops for any of our cruise stops unfortunately. St. Lucia was a wonderful dive and like drrich2 says, I don't anticipate going there for a dedicated dive trip so I'd take advantage...

I definitely need someone to review this with me. I've got a reel and SMB but I will be honest I've never deployed it and not sure I would know in a stressful situation. I need to practice. @Kimela maybe you work with me in Roatan on this.

We had the same "swing" on Explorer Ventures in Saba/St. Kitts and we thought it was fun - grab the ladder and hang on for a little ride.

We did the BAIV back in 2016 and loved it. I don't know why they have BAIII 10 day trips but not IV? Maybe IV is more popular. I know many people rave about Jerry's cooking but I found it to be okay, nothing great but certainly okay! I LOVED their beds that can be pushed together for king size...

I am looking at possibly booking Turks for later this summer, maybe August. Aggressor has a 10 day trip on special (pay for 7 get 10) at $3295pp, Explorer Ventures has a special of $400 off for about $2695pp for 7 nights. I don't know that I really need to do a 10 night for a Caribbean trip. Has...

Wow that's terrible @PACKRMAN I am curious - could you not submit a claim for reimbursement not based on crew member contracting COVID but based on the vendor/boat canceling the trip?? Maybe I'm not reading your post correctly - you said a claim for "additional expenses while on the island" -...

Kimela is totally spot on with the crossing. We left around 3, soon after lunch and I think the worst of the crossing was over by 7:30-8:00. I think I finally went downstairs to our cabin around 7:45 or so when we were close. I believe this was also one of the more rough crossings, but I have no...

Jase, I want to reinforce the importance of taking your seasickness meds whether it's Dramamine or putting the patch on the night before you go on this trip. I did not do that. Huge mistake. You should be fine if you do that. Explorer Ventures is very different and they don't have a crossing to...

Thanks but the trip insurance I purchased sounded perfectly good for my needs. No reason to think they would be difficult. I'm interested in hearing from people who have had to call/submit claims and had no issues and quick resolution. Like I said, you really don't know how "good" your insurance...

I purchased trip insurance through IMG. While the coverage sounded excellent, I am now experiencing issues in trying to obtain reimbursement for expenses due to a trip delay. We had our flight canceled coming back from a recent dive trip and incurred hotel and meal costs for which I am now...

Okay I will do that next time. I did double my efforts. and did not sync from the iPhone to the MacBook Air. I will try that after my next trip.

It was both. Maybe somehow I downloaded the version that recognized my license after purchase? That doesn't make sense even as I type it. So long story short, I did get it to download my dives. Time will tell, it will be interesting to see if it works well after the next dive trip, which is...

So I tried it again this morning, Didn't do anything different but it worked. I guess that's good, but doesn't leave me feeling confident about issues not happening again. We will see.

I am guessing it is something along these lines of applying the license but for the life of me I don't know how to do that now. I purchased this a month before our dive trip so now it's been a couple of months. It was so frustrating to be on the trip and unable to use it. Guess I should have...
