    Juliet liveaboard question

    Been on the Juliet 5 times the last 5 years. 3 bahamas and 2 St. Croix. Booked to go to Mona next March. Stayed in the honeymoon suite 2 times. Second favorite room behind the front ensuite. Have never had issues with sharing head and/or shower. Other than diving, everyone is on their own...

    Juliet Liveaboard - We are booked this summer.

    You all will have a great time! Been onboard with them 3 times. (2 in bahamas and 1 St. Croix) Liza and crew are awesome! Very laid back, professional crew. Great home cooked meals and plenty of euchre. Just ask Liza if you don't know how to play, she is a pro and great card game to learn...

    Birthday gadget purchase: help me choose!

    EPIRB +1. Without a doubt from a safety perspective. Especially with you moving to coast. Why would anyone want to take the chance to being lost at sea with nothing but a whistle, SMB and a flashlight... Although unlikely to be lost, not worth the risk. :)

    Scubapro Fins - Go versus Go Sport

    Purchased the new Go Sports in Yellow, size large a couple months back. Have about 10 dives on them so far. I bought the L per the sizing chart from Scubapro as I have a 11.5 foot. I wear a 5mm structured boot and they fit very well. Coming from much heavier Mares Quatro's, it did take a...

    Scubapro GO Sport

    Just purchased the yellow ones in size L. 11.5 shoes size. Fit is great with 5mm structured sole boot. I am coming from Mares Excel +. These are significantly shorter than my Mares 6 inches or so. Kick easier, feel very light in the water and are more maneuverable. Only have a hand full of...

    Juliet Liveaboard

    Big +1 for the Juliet! Have sailed with them March 2017 in St Croix and Sept 2018 in Bahamas. Already on the books to return to Bahamas Oct of 2019. Wonderful crew, great food, "off the grid" dive sites. In a week of diving in the Bahamas last fall, only dove 1 site with other divers in...

    Closed: OCEANIC ATOM 3.1

    Hello, This computer has been used less than 40 dives by my wife. Battery replaced in January 2018. As you can see in the pics, this is in very nice shape. A/I compatible. Will sell with or without transmitter. Absolutely no issues with this computer. We are selling due to upgrade to...

    Soft Sole vs Hard Sole Booties

    +1 on hard sole. Used to wear soft but for all around versatility, hard is best. Now as mentioned earlier, if you want to invest in both then you can tailor to what you are doing. My wife and I try to keep it simple and the hard sole gets it done for whatever we are doing. My motto is that...

    What made you go pro?

    Just finished my DM course last week and my reasons were primarily for my daughter whom we plan to get certified next year. Beyond my belief in continuing education in everything that you do, I wanted to be the best that I could be for her and felt that getting my DM would help. I can say that...

    Do you still use a SPG with a AI computer?

    Hey Mike, I did. Had a Pro Plus 3 and a small analog SPG. I wanted to drop a hose and have all my info in my wrist then switched to the perdix and removed the bulky PP3. I understand position of aborting your dive, etc. if you have failure and no back up however, with something as critical...

    Do you still use a SPG with a AI computer?

    I know that I am late to the party but yes. I back up my Perdix A/I with a small SPG. If I had two A/I computers, then I would drop the SPG and utilize two transmitters. Although only once in 60 dives on my Perdix, I did have 1 comm. fail. I was able to get it restored but would never want...

    Nitrox or Rescue Certification

    +1 on doing both. Nitrox is such an easy one but yet so beneficial, I would knock that out first. However you should be able to find that cert for less than $200. Rescue is an awesome course and my favorite cert. by far so far in my short diving career. Really makes you look at diving...

    Feeding Lionfish to Other Fish

    Overall bad plan! Never good to associate humans with food especially with wild animals. I too have seen the Moray Eel's acting aggressively and out of character. Pretty much if you had a spear and/or lion keeper they were all over you. A week before our most recent trip to St. Croix a lady...

    Questions about buying my own gear!

    Agreed with a lot of the points on the above posts. i.e. think long term, log some dives to know what you like/prefer. Being new to diving in the last couple years, my wife and I at this point have purchased everything including our own tanks and for the most part are very happy with the vast...

    Diving in Jamaica

    My wife and I have gone to Jamaica twice the last two years and stayed on the west side at Couples Swept Away. Had wonderful time both trips. Resort is excellent, staff wonderful and overall a great experience! Dive crew is equally impressive. A fun group of people to dive with and very...
