My family has not lost interest in GC. We took our first post-Covid trip to GC in late July and it was great to be back. We did 6 dives (all on the West side) and enjoyed it. My wife and I are booked to go back again this Fall.

Would a search and rescue helicopter be able to pick up the Nautilus MRG AIS or DSC signal?

My family did a land based trip to Provo but we dove the NW Point and West Caicos sites. We saw the Explorer and/or Aggressor at nearby moorings most days. In our 12 dives between July 12 - 23 bottom temps were 82 - 83 Fahrenheit. My older son would wear a 3mm vest on first dive and his full...

I'm a newer diver too and mostly in Caribbean. My first pair of fins were good for flutter but I couldn't do a frog kick. There are lots of threads on this board about fins and after reading many of them I got the Mares Avanti Quattro Plus open heal fins. No pink but black or white is...

As you research dive ops, you should ask which dock they depart from. Several dive ops use the Lobster Pot dock which would be convenient from the Marriott. About a 5 minute drive from Marriott, maybe less. West Bay dock and Yacht Club are the other direction but probably a 10-12 minute...

Welcome to Scubaboard! I started diving a couple of years ago and have 3 Aqualung i450T in my family so not a perfect answer for your i770R. I use Subsurface to download dive data and I’ve never had a problem getting a hard usb connection to work with Subsurface. Diverlog is a different...

@Snoweman What time of year did you dive the north side of Grand Cayman? Were you doing boat dives? My experience in Grand Cayman earlier this month was very different. We did 7 days of 2 tank boat dives so 14 dives total with 6 on North side, 7 on West side and 1 at Southwest point. The...

The Teric manual text says it turns red when greater than 150%. The picture shows it red at 101%. Is the 150% a typo?

Agree with Dan G you should email 3P directly. I asked 3P the same question about Iberostar pier pickup a few months ago and was told the only way 3P does pickups at the Iberostar is a water entry. They were willing to do the pickup in the water at Iberostar but not by docking at the Iberostar...

We’ve been to Turks & Caicos once and Grand Cayman four times. At T&C we stayed at a condo on Provo in the Grace Bay area and dove with a dive op the went to Northwest Point and West Caicos. It was roughly a 45 minute boat ride each way. Our daily routine was out the condo door at 7:30am and...

I arrived in GC yesterday. Staying on SMB. Have not seen or smelled any sargassum. Only been here 24 hours so far and will let you know later in the week if I spot any sargassum. We have been out a good bit already. My son and I paddle boarded a decent length yesterday. My wife and I walked...

At Bluestone this time of year do you know about what depth the thermocline begins and what's the water temp?

Sorry but I don't. We bought our BCs from a local shop and when I needed the new shoulders they had it in stock. I have not had to replace any waist panels yet.

Congrats on the weight loss. My boys and I have a Zeagle Stiletto and it has a modular system where you can replace the waist panel and/or shoulder straps with different sizes without having to buy an entirely new BC. I believe the Ranger is the same but not sure since I don't own one. On the...

Thanks, that's what I found as well for OC Rec. Was hoping I missed something obvious. @Shearwater are the posts above accurate? If yes, please consider adding SurfGF to OC Rec info screens in future updates.

In OC Rec mode is there a way to see SurfGF without using a spot on the home screen (ie, the big layout or standard layout screen)? When I scroll through the info screens on my Teric, the spot where I would expect to find SurfGF has TTS instead (see attached picture). Also attaching picture...

Mostly for police work but article says it will also be available for search and rescue with some SAR improvements to be made in December. New helicopter plugs national security gaps | Cayman Compass

I only knew Cameron from his posts but from reading his frequent posts his knowledge and compassion were evident. His positive outlook and friendly comments will be missed. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
