Thanks! I got the suite in my size and tried it on yesterday. Have to say I am disappointed. It feel much flimsier than the old model. And the seams already look low quality and it is brand new!!! Given that it is a premium price product, it is going back. Shame. Seems like Waterproof missed...

Hmm...not liking to hear that, even if Waterproof did the right thing! After how many dives did you notice issues & does it seem to you this is a general design defect?

Thank you! I have the prior model 5mm w4 waterproof that is still going strong and love that one too.

Can any owners of Waterproofs 3.5mm W5 redesigned wetsuit chime in about the durability of the suit? The few online reviews I have found are less than favorable - especially about seam quality. W5 - Waterproof Diving I LOVED my W3 Waterproof wetsuit, but it has reached the end of its life and I...

One tank.

Same sites. Ocean Encounters has a fixed weekly schedules for dive spots, morning and afternoon. We did an afternoon because we really wanted to do Tugboat again and they do that a couple times a week as an afternoon for snorkeling and diving. Another afternoon was dedicated to a Lionfish hunt...

We’re here diving with OE right now. Dive shop is a well oiled machine, nice boats, but they are busy. We had several morning boat dives with a 10:1 ratio of DM to divers. Others were more like 8. Afternoon boat dives were much less, we did one where it was just the two of us and the DM…and a...

Wohoo, looking into it RIGHT now. Still confirming our final dates, but that sounds awesome.

Planning a trip to Curacao in the spring - first for us. We will likely stay in a rental that has a local dive op for shore diving, but runs no boat. While we plan to do some shore diving, I am very fond of boat dives, especially 2 tanks or even more to break up the schlepping of gear a little...

Well, like said, this particular occurrence in Soccoro the downcurrent was worst on the wall. It doesn’t really have anything to do with the examples you posted. Point is it depends on the circumstances.

While I get this from a general physics perspective, I have been on walls in Socorro, where the downcurrent was absolutely strongest right at the wall. Strong incentive to keep 10-15 ft away from said wall. Definitely no 0 velocity when at the wall. Would not have dared to try and attach myself...

There are always pre-dive checks by the Damai DMs. But conditions in Indo can change VERY quickly. I have been on dives in Raja that went from zero current to ripping in seconds. I have also called a dive or two in Raja because the current was too strong to enjoy the dive once getting to the...

I don't recall the name - will see if my buddy's log has the info. It was near Candi Dasa, somewhere in the bay between Candi Dasa and Padang Bai.

How horrendous is that published picture on the local news website? Man… This news did hit me a bit hard last night. I have been on the Damai II twice with itineraries to Raja and the Banda Sea with the same cruise director and probably at least some of the crew. We chartered the entire boat...

Not anymore, all cards issued from large providers in recent years have had a chip (&pin if you request it). Now, you can still run into international purchases/websites being blocked...*usually* a call to the card provider can sort that at least temporarily, but it can be annoying. Had that...

The south entry at Salt is way superior than the north. The north has the typical broken iron shore with a step down. Almost busted my a* getting in that way. And getting out there sucked too as the surf had increased a lot during our dive, I carry a big camera and we were coming out just before...

Indonesia can do what it wants as as a sovereign country. Clearly, bringing back tourism is not their priority. Nevertheless, be careful with comparing numbers - population compositions, age range, access to testing and medical treatment, and just basic availability for reliable numbers means...

And this is not going to change until they drop their inane quarantine procedures for fully vaxed & boosted passengers. Pretty clear Indonesia does not want tourists back...

That was not the case on my recent (as in 3 weeks ago) stay. Morning boat dives were all two tankers, boat returned around 12-1pm.

Morning dives are two tank at Buddy.
