    BCD has h20 in it, cause

    Ok thanks to both. So I need to put water in the low pressure hose and rinse around? And there needs to be some air in it for this to be effective. Am I understanding right? Thanks much.

    BCD has h20 in it, cause

    Hi, I recently bought my 1st set of dive gear. Did about 10 dives w new bcd, rinsed with clean h20 after all dives, and set aside to dry for a few days. Came back to put it away and there was like 1/2 a cup to a cup of h20 in the bc. The way to dump it was to use the butt air dump and move the...

    Is an upgrade worth it for me? Hero 4 vs 7

    Hmmm, the conditions are quite different, being one is open water and one is a wreck. So I'm not sure this answered my ?, but I damn sure enjoyed watching the vids. Shark in the wreck is a lemon? Cocos looks like a bucket list trip for sure!

    Is an upgrade worth it for me? Hero 4 vs 7

    Thanks, I should have included that. I dive mostly Caribbean and occasionally in Florida. Say around 40 to 100 feet. I use the plastic casing on a wrist mount and have a red filter.

    Is an upgrade worth it for me? Hero 4 vs 7

    Hi folks, I'm a crap videographer, but I like shooting interesting critters and cool formations when I see them. I use a hero 4 silver now. Is it worth upgrading to the 7 black? Put another way, would someone without great skills really notice a difference or would the vids look more or less...

    Little cayman trip report

    I'm not meaning to throw stones @ Sharon. I try not to judge too much based on 1 interaction. If u asked her, she might've found me uptight and pushy. If you asked 95% of the operators I've been out with, they would say I was considerate and easy. I'm recounting what I found to be a very...

    Little cayman trip report

    She was. There were 3 of us who arrived then and wanted to dive. I flew in my rashguard and dive shorts since I knew it would be close, at best. Her concern was re: getting paperwork done, getting an orientation to the boat, etc. My sense was if we had spent the 10m we spent arguing on prep, we...

    Little cayman trip report

    Ok, double checked my computer. 6 of 7 dives read 83. 1 read 81. 83 felt accurate to me, since I thought it felt quite warm.

    Little cayman trip report

    I didnt write them down, but pretty sure it was around 84 most dives. I was concerned it might be cool in Jan, but was v happily surprised.

    Little cayman trip report

    Yes, I called clearly cayman and they were awesome. The room @ CC was excellent but much too dark to see the grounds at all.

    Little cayman trip report

    Hi kathy, Agree on easier access for short trips going forward. Actually missed 2 flights to LC. 1st missed due to random delay getting to GC. 2nd missed due to rain not clearing until too late to fly to LC. Dining room still under Reno btw.

    Little cayman trip report

    Sorry, got on a rant mainly to make the point that it's not a great spot for a short trip as the transport is unreliable and the dive ops don't have a lot of flexibility. This is probably the only thing I can say that hasn't already been said. Obviously bloody bay wall is awesome. Minimal...

    Little cayman trip report

    Sorry it wasn't clear. I was at resort @ 805 with my gear. Boat was in dock for 10m with me there begging to get on. I also realize they were within their rights not to accommodate this problem. But, would've been greatly appreciated if they did

    Little cayman trip report

    Just got back from LCBR and thought I'd give a little review. 1st, I went as a solo diver for 4 nights, 3 days of diving. This wasn't long enough. Missed flight to Little on night 1 and arrived @ 805 the next morning. LCBR was awesome about the missed flight (put me up in Cobalt coast). Reef...

    Best short trip option? Caribbean vs Jupiter?

    That particular package had a 5 night min, and I'm only staying 4. I paid approx 1300 for 4 nights, 8 dives, nitrox, 12 alcoholic drinks, and all their standard inclusions (meals etc). Seemed good to me (particularly single occupancy).

    Best short trip option? Caribbean vs Jupiter?

    Thanks for all the good advice. I decided to book a short trip to LC. I'll have about 10 additional days split between Orlando and Miami, so will try to make a day trip to Jupiter if weather allows and see some lemons!

    Best short trip option? Caribbean vs Jupiter?

    Thanks @KathyV , yeah definitely aware of time pressures during high season. Seems like all options are still available , but certainly won't be true indefinitely. Appreciate your input!
