I’d like to share my experience from a great week on Roatan in mid-January. As a somewhat frequent visitor to Cozumel where I dive with Aldora, I have learned to appreciate the buoyancy characteristics and long dives from their steel tanks. When planning my recent trip to Roatan, I came across...

It was time for a change in scenery after staying and working from home for the past few months. Coupled with a new policy by my employer requiring a reduction in accrued vacation before the end of the year, I needed to get away. Fortunately, Cozumel has opened. Downtown still lacks life and...

Silk Air announced their intent to transfer the Singapore - Manado route to Scoot in the spring. It looks like Silk Air ends service on 5/4/2020 but I am still unable to find any information about Scoot's plans or schedule. Has anyone heard if this route will be discontinued or if Scoot...

As a beginner, I can't complain about microscope mode on the TG-6, but I'm wondering if I add on an additional wet macro lens to get even closer shots. Would the camera still be able to fully zoom through a low to mid power macro lens? I was thinking of either the Bluewater +7 Macro Lens or...

Looking for recommendations for weekday dive ops in California. I have Mon-Fri off next week and California looks attractive. I have 200ish dives logged, although they have mostly been in tropical water, so I'm looking for an operator or buddy with experience. I can be in either SFO/MRY, SAN...

Having some vacation time that needed to come off the books, I made a short trip to Peter’s Dive Resort in Padre Burgos for 4 nights with 5 days of diving. The area has been on my radar for some time, but its not the easiest location to get to from the USA. It was well worth the effort with...

Has anyone been to Sogod Bay or other areas of Southern Leyte in July? I read that its not as affected by the monsoons as other parts of the Philippines. Hoping this is accurate because I'd really like to see the area. It will be my 4th trip to the Philippines previously Bohol 2x and once...

This is long overdue, but better late than never.... This was a trip in March. I left a day early, in a snowstorm that shut down the airport for most of the morning. My original itinerary was tight and had no backups without missing part of my trip. The smaller regional jets that are common...

I'm looking invest in some better lighting and interested to hear experiences with video lights that have a burst mode. Currently I'm using the TG-5's internal flash and 2 generic Chinese video lights that are several years old and not all that bright. I guess they are better than nothing but...

I’m planning a trip to North Sulawesi in February for around 8 days of diving. It’s a long trek from the upper Midwest US, so I’d like to make the most of the time I have there. I plan to dive Lembeh, Bangka and/or Bunaken. Although I’d like to see some of each location, I am concerned that...

I purchased the Outlaw BCD before a trip to the Caribbean and wanted to share a review for others considering the model. I was drawn to it in my LDS because of its small size and modular sizing. I am an airline employee and frequently travel standby which can be a nightmare if you have to...

Just got back from a fantastic 2 week trip to Bonaire and wanted to pass on some favorites and highlights. We rented a villa in the El Pueblo development through Island Time. Although it was a little drive from town, it offered fantastic comfort, lots of space and privacy. The villa overlooked...

I know there have been numerous threads on car and truck rental on Bonaire in the past. I just wanted to share some observations and hope someone here has further recommendations. I have several credit cards and trip coverage that offers rental car insurance waivers but all exclude trucks...
