    GoPro 9 housing "o-ring" replacement?

    Thanks for pointing this out. I ended up with a sizable nick in the rear door gasket of one of my GP UW housings during a recent trip to Bonaire. I picked up the first UW housing for $24.99 via the 50% off discount at time of GP9 purchase a year or so back due to GoPro Subscriber discount...

    Same happened to us for our trip in on Saturday. Tried both a visa and debit card with the online payment system. My banks CC fraud prevention line said no failed charges were making it through or being rejected on their end. I did fill out the traveler info online and got the email w/...

    Just a reminder for Bonaire New tariff: $75 per visit effective July 1, 2022

    Thanks OP. I have a trip booked in July and paid the per day taxes using the old rules. For what it's worth, VRBO and Avis have removed their per day taxes for bookings in July. Neither issued refunds automatically. I'm in the process of requesting refunds for the per day taxes from...

    New tourist tax structure in effect 7-1-22

    Booked a VRBO condo and Avis truck rental several months back for July 9 - 24. Was charged the old tax rates of $4 per day auto rental and $5.50 per person per day accommodation/hotel taxes. Both companies have since updated their online booking software to remove the per day taxes when...

    Question How do I repair Sola Nightsea Light?

    If you are talking about the thin white strip with two thin metal traces connect beside the LED module connector - It's 2 - 3 inches long and wraps outside the battery pack but the inside housing of the light. Originally I thought it had to do with sensing the exterior on/off switch. My 1200...

    Question How do I repair Sola Nightsea Light?

    I'm a bit surprised, but it looks like the boards for your 2000SF and NightSea may be drop in replacements for each other. Both have board/part numbers 502-0238-A. (Not that I would try swapping them.) The specs on the current NightSea model at L&M show 3000 lumen for flood high.... I thought...

    Question How do I repair Sola Nightsea Light?

    Not sure this helps, but figured I would share... I have a sola 1200 s/f with 6 outer high intensity flood leds and 3 inner spot leds. Purchased used years back, so who knows how old it is. The board ID is very close (502-0217-D) and is probably a slightly older revision than yours. The...

    Any way to help Cozumel with vaccinations?

    The chance to dive with Chatterton is worth the trip to Florida alone... at least in my book.

    More silly airline games

    I recall front and back debark for nearly every United flight I've had to Cozumel (going through IAH). This was certainly the case for our trip in May.... Got a good deal on airfare so paid for one person to move up to mid plane as a hedge for getting a good spot in the immigration line. The...

    More silly airline games

    United is my airline of choice due to CC perks and location (near IAH). Either they are going to jack up prices to pay for all these new aircraft or they will over purchase capacity and have to run fare sales... hoping for the later.

    More silly airline games

    Well that depends on the airline and the ticket category.... Even the Major US carries are now charging for carry ons for certain budget tickets. Conversely SouthWest still gives you checked bags for free, but you could are they have this built into the ticket.

    More silly airline games

    It was mythbusters episode 222. They tested several boarding strategies. The two major factors are boarding time AND satisfaction. The boarding process with decent times and highest satisfaction was a complicated reverse pyramid strategy... zones > back to front in multiple zones and windows...

    Covid testing in Cozumel

    I believe the International Hospital across from Aldora on Calle 5 has come down in price and may no longer offer the discount for Casa Mexicana. I posted a photo above of a sign they have inside that shows $19 for covid tests. Photo was taken last Monday 6/14. Charges to my CC for three...
