Less than two months to go, I am ready!!
I had some time and went over the gear this weekend. Found a hose that is a no-go (at least not for me) and learned how to identify a bargain wetsuit without looking at the price tag. Dianne and I bought our wetsuits at the same time and mine has quite...
It takes 18650 batteries (typically rechargeable). Here's a link to the ones direct from Backscatter: Nitecore 18650 NL1836HP 3600mAh Rechargeable Battery
This is a wide angle light for video/photo. It has been very reliable and is a great, lightweight, compact lighting setup and has some nice functions - auto brightness, turns off briefly when a flash is triggered (for flash photographers). Sealife setups are quite underrated, I find them to be...
For sale is a Backscatter MF1. There is some wear on the anodizing that is typical of normal (not abusive!) use. IE no nicks from being dropped or scratches on the glass. I especially like it with the diffuser (this is a $25 accessory). The flash has been reliable and works perfectly. Never...
Not sure if this is too late to help, but after just coming back from Sipadan, my main issue is that the Permit (not the dives) is $90 USD per day to dive Sipadan. Too expensive. I think this is the most expensive dive permit in the world? But people (like me) still come, so, why not keep...
I was in PR this past Feb for business and left some time on the bookends of the week to do some exploring.
My original plan was to dive Rincon and try to get on a boat to Desecheo, but for non-locals, my understanding after talking to some locals is that this side of the island gets nailed by...
Wow great info, thank you! The note about the open lockers caught my eye. Do most people end up bringing gear back to their room everyday or is the resort safe enough to leave the basics in the open lockers?
I won one of gift certificates from Dive Right In Scuba which turned out to be just what I needed.
One one of the dives, I dropped my macro lens, which is a fairly expensive thing to leave on the ocean floor. One of the other divers noticed it and picked it up, so the story ended well (Jake, I...
For sale is a DiveRite MR11 Slimline Canlight. It has been upgraded by DiveRite to LED in 2017 and was basically rebuilt from top to bottom. DiveRite said that this has the same specs as the LX20 handheld. It has only been in the water 5 times since then and works perfectly, I just never got...
Nice job catching a cuttlefish, I was hoping to see one, but didn't!
The first night dive was great, we had a beautiful sunset to kick off the show. It only got better from there.
Our DM Jon saw I didn't bring the camera and he told me we would see a cool nudi and I would have regrets. He was...
@WarrenZ that shark vid is great! Love the diver who got buzzed a couple times by the sharks and started flailing. Exactly what I would have done!
This was my first time meeting anyone from SB (besides Dianne of course) and I had a mental image that members would be a bunch of grungy divers...
