    Lake Tahoe - Lodging with boat parking?

    Parking is limited at most motels. Does anyone know of lodging (preferably North Shore) that has space for a truck and trailer (18ft boat) ? I know some of the casinos on South Shore have large lots for RV's but I'm planning dives on the north side of the lake...better launch ramps there also.

    NorCal Freshwater Dive Sites

    My summer plan is to do some freshwater diving in the California Sierra mountains and I'd like a few suggestions. I've done more than a dozen dives in Tahoe and a few in some surrounding lakes. There have been a lot of positive comments about Whiskeytown Lake near Shasta as well. Decent...

    Shark Feeding Dives...Yes or No

    I just read an article in DAN's AlertDiver magazine regarding a shark feeding dive incident. That caused me to watch a few videos and read another few articles about these dives and dive operators. There were varying opinions from "it helps raise awareness" to "it's OK if done safely" to "it's...

    Sunset House

    Well, I've booked for the beginning of May at the Sunset House. Hopefully, Covid Varient # (?) won't change Cayman's policies. American Airlines took my reservation (and money) but I think they are still subject to change/cancel. I'm leaving out of SFO and my other options are to fly to NYC...

    Compressor Air Filter

    I'm trying to find a small air filter and housing to top off a 1" PVC line to use as the pre-filter for a small Coltri compressor. I've been searching in the small engine online catalogs but someone out there might have a suggestion? Thanks, Jim

    Belize Dive Haven

    The last thread on this resort is over a year old, so I'd like to ask if anyone has been there since the re-opening. I'm trying to decide on this place vs. Ramon's Village. It looks from last years posts that Dive Haven was still under construction and I'm wondering how far they've come with...

    St. Eustatius (Statia) Recommendations?

    I think that this little island is my next stop after the travel restriction loosen up. It looks like only 2 dive shops on the island and just about 100 hotel rooms (maybe a private vacation rental would be good if I could find one). I'm also concerned about the Win-Air flight from St Maarten...

    Sherwood Sage vs. Sherwood Beacon

    I see that Sage offered now for $349 and the Beacon is over $900. Anyone know the big difference in these two? TFT vs. Oled display? Both seem to be air-integrated, digital compass and Blue-Tooth dive logs.

    Mystery Regulator

    Found this attached to a cut hose rolling around the bottom. I've no idea why a second stage would be cut free ??? I've searched many pages of brand logos but can't find this one. I'm sure some one here will provide the answer.
