Looking for a recommendation for a dive operator in Puerto Lopéz, Ecuador. My partner and I will be staying with a friend in Puerto Lopéz at the beginning of August and I would like to get a few days of diving in. I will be solo (neither my friend nor my partner are divers). I am an instructor...

I saw them on the web, but they don't have any trips listed for the 20th or 21st on the site, and I'm don't have enough people (or money) to ask for a private charter. :)

I'm heading to Vancouver for a conference and figured I'd get in a little cold water diving before things started. I'm arriving the night of March 19 and would like to dive on the 20th and 21st. I have a friend who's coming on the morning of the 21st who would like to dive in the afternoon with...

I've already got a ZipSeal neck on my DUI suit and I'm thinking about getting the DUI ZipSeal latex hood. My understand is that it is a combination latex neck seal and hood. I'm trying to get my head around (no pun intended) how you put this thing on: Do put on the hood liner before you stick...

Cool. I’ll drop him an email and see what he can do. Still happy to hear suggestions from other folks just in case this doesn’t work out.

I’ll be in PDC itself.

Really? I took a look at the webpage. The only snorkeling it shows is for cenote diving, which I’m not terribly interested in, and nothing for ocean dives. You think it’s worth calling these folks? Other suggestions?

Heading down to Playa Del Carmen for Christmas week with the extended family. I would like to get some diving in and I'm probably going to be too lazy to go over to Cozumel this time. (I've been a few times already.) A few of the non-diver family members would also like to do some snorkeling...

Well, I did assume other folks might have their favorite to mention. :wink: When I have so few days to dive, I usually try to cram in as many as possible. I'm a glutton for punishment. Think I'll stay out of that one. :outtahere: Thanks for your help. I'll check out options and probably PM...

Ah, that 4-tank trip looks great, but it looks like they only run it on Sunday. If it were Saturday, it would be perfect. So, what are my "must see" sites if I go for 2 daytrip days?

Decisions, decisions. Colorful coral, critters, and fishies are more important to me than big things. Does that lean one way or the other as to where to go? I also saw that the Oktavia also does a similar schedule to Giamani; any thoughts on that? As yet undecided. I need to ask her whether...

Krabi sounds lovely, but getting to Phuket is a bit easier. And we're not likely to stay near Patong; I think a quiet resort near a beach is more our speed. :) I appreciate the recommendation though.

I'm going to a conference in Singapore that ends on Friday November 17 and heading to Phuket. I can definitely get to Phuket in the afternoon of the 17th, perhaps earlier, and my (non-diver) sweetie isn't arriving until later on Sunday November 19, so I've got 2, perhaps 3, days of diving to...

Good points. On your question: I used the purge valve on the second stage and it appeared to be working.

Ooooo….this sounds like the beginning of a good theory. The other regulator did not have an ACD. The tank that failed had the DIN/yoke plug. I like the theory that the ACD failed closed in combination with this particular tank valve and whatever else might have been going on with the reg...

Some answers to your comments so far. Thanks; some good ideas here: Yeah, especially given the ACD, as scubafanatic mentions below. I like the theory that when the tank went to 0psi on the dive in question, the ACD was obviously open and some water leaked in at that time, causing the salt and...

I had a full-out regulator failure on a dive a few weeks ago. So far, neither the divemasters on the boat, my local shop, nor Aqualung have any particular theories, so I'm curious if anyone here has some reasonable educated guesses. Here's the story, with as much info as I've got (some of it...

I'm coming down to Oahu for a conference in November, and I'm arriving so that I can do three days of diving (Nov 5, 6, 7) before I'm stuck in a hotel conference center for a week. I want to dive my brains out in those three days. I'm looking for a dive op who can accommodate these features...

OK, sounds like ferrying back and forth is loony. I'll definitely be staying over Saturday night. I'll have to ferry back after diving on Sunday, since getting on a plane to make it back to Cancun for Sunday night dinner would be a "bad plan". So, last question: if I take Mayair, can I fly from...

So I have a work conference in Cancun starting on Sunday night, May 4. I'd like to get some diving in, preferably in Cozumel, but the earliest I'm going to make it down to Mexico is Friday evening into Cancun, arriving either at 5:20pm or 8:00pm. (Flights into CZM just don't work.) I want to...
