Water pollution as well as water scarcity is in the news a lot nowadays. Distilling water is a quick acid test you can do to find out what residue is in your water. Distilling water is a quick acid test you can do to find out what residue is in your water.

My housing and strobe got lots of sand stuck on the greased O rings. Any tips on how to protect photo gear from sand on beach entrties? Thanks

I was going to get an Oylmpus housing and flash. I see they have a mini arm for connecting flash to top of housing. It is about 2 inches long. Anyone try it? Or is it too short and nothing but backscatter? Thanks

If I'm not looking for an AI, where is a good place to stay for a week that offers a kitchen? Must have beach or close to it, clean and not too pricey.

Is the water similar to SABA, St. Martin or USVI for cold? What type of wetsuit do you use for Bonaire?

OK, thanks will check the condos out.

Thanks for all the feedback. Looking for something that is easy to work from. Comfortable, clean and easy access. Beach view or not is OK. I plan to do beach dives pretty much. 2 people. Just going for 5 days from SXM to break up 2-1/2 weeks there.

I've gone through half a dozen various UW cams and they all leaked after a few uses. What is on the market that will not leak over the short term. Something that will last for a couple dozen dives would be nice. I was thinking of using an Ikelite housing with a water proof / resistant cam...

Comfortable, affordable and something that has a little kitchen. What do you recommend? Thanks

OP...I had 3 sea life dig cams. All flooded within 2 to 6 uses. I tried Ikelite housings for a little Nikon dig PS cam. Used it 4 or 5 times and it flooded. Only thing I ever had great luck with were the old Nikonos fim cams. Used 3 of them for years and never flooded once. Thousands of $$...

My box was yellow. We like the boxes heavy duty, as we throw them in the back of cars a lot of the time or on the boat and want them secure. The one that got stolen was our smaller 'on the road' kit. We have a larger kit we keep at base camp. So we usually pack 2 kits. But I was traveling...

Pitts to St Martin and to LAX You guys must be lucky or I'm just unlucky. 2 trips and both times got hit. I took the first aid kit on many trips and never had a problem. Did have a dive sticker on it. But it is a small pelican case, maybe 10 x 12 or so. It was not some giant case full of regs...

In June had a $24 bottle of maple syrup stolen from checked luggage. Flew to L.A. yesterday and a $125 custom first aid kit in a Pelican box was stolen. I think it is the guys that x-ray the checked luggage. (TSA?) They would not find it otherwise, both were buried deep inside for padding...

Is there an online record as to the # of diver deaths each year?

Was watching a dvd of comedian Whitney Cummings. She is a funny gal. A little dirty mouthed, but still funny. One of her jokes was about how ugly men's private parts are to women. She poked fun at the men for thinking their 'package' was so attractive to women, but in reality it is only...

What psi's do the 1st and 2nd stage regs drop tank pressure to? Is it a industry standard that all 1st and 2nd's drop to the same psi's?

If I put it in the wrong spot, mods can move it. I don't care, no problem with me.

Thanks for the info! BTW, at what psi does the disc burst?

If a tank is at 1600 psi or less. Is it pretty safe from having the burst disc popping in a hot car?

OP...Don't like setting up my gear on a boat since I get sea sick. I can only go out on 1 tanks dives for the most part. Even then, if it is rough I tend to take the ride back home with my eyes closed and trying not to die. I got my own gear and set it up...when I'm at the springs In Fl or...
