I see this thread, but I didn't want to necromance it too much -- https://scubaboard.com/community/threads/oceanic-iphone-case-is-now-a-dive-computer.625234/page-3 I wanted to hear what people think about the direction of some of these dive accessories that rely on a computer and how me might...

My wife an I on our honeymoon did this tour and also the one on Kauai. The Big Island helo ride was fun, but only so-so compared to the Kauai trip. If you go to Hawaii often, skip the Big Island helo tour and do Kauai some other time. Don't get me wrong. They were both very nice. But I'd put...

All these will be fine at the higher voltage. You will just need one of those plug adapters. Depending on your situation you may also want a power strip so you can get like 4-5 devices on one outlet. I carry one of these, but apparently they don't make them any more? Monster MP OTG400 BK...

Did this a few years ago--its a pretty silly dive. I guess if you are in a silly mood, go for it I'd do the Blackwater Night Dive instead. Big Island Divers runs one.

I'd recommend against a live aboard right away. Not because it would be a disaster or anything. But, I think you'll have more fun on the liveaboard if you have more experience and some of the basics down first. If you want to dive a lot, consider a place like Bonaire and do a lot of shore dives...

There are a lot of variables other than the agency—and maybe those Poseidon creatures are not open to learning new things. It is also possible that they were never taught properly and are poor at learning by watching others, and could benefit from better instruction, no? I appreciate the...

This is a strange answer to the question of what C-card training prepares someone to do. “It depends on the instructor” gives me no way to make any risk-informed decisions about what my training prepared me to do.

I am wary to make this my first post on SB, but somehow I found this thread first when researching a topic, and found the whole discussion very interesting, even if the read-through was a bit of a slog at points... So I am posting this here because the thread provides context for my own thought...
