    Coolpix W300

    Greetings, Last year I picked up a Nikon Coolpix w300 point and shoot. It replaces an olympus ultra zoom & ikelite house, which is just too bulky for holiday trips & carry-on luggage. I used it last November in Montego Bay & end of March this year in Samana Bay. I'm still getting used to it, but...

    Frog Kick After Total Hip Replacement - Posterior Approach

    Got my tanks hydro tested, O2 cleaned & visual inspection last week. Went for a dive a Kingston, Portsmouth harbour, shore dive, Sunday. Water was 60 deg F, visibility about 35 ft. Max depth 37ft, 40 min. I had a slight cramp in my left calf near the end of the dive. Need to work on the toe rises.

    Maui in February

    Suggest a 3 or 5 mm wetsuit. I’m 200 lb Canadian and used to cooler waters, and found 3 mm just fine, but a smaller person would likely prefer 5 mm. I dove Mala warf, & did a scooter diver a Kaheliki Beach Park with Steve Eedy. Gear is excellent & he’s an excellent guide/instructor. check out...
