    Question Little Cayman Beach REsort vs Cayman Brac Beach Resort?

    Mr. Tibbetts, who started it all, felt like the food at the Brac resort was better. I've been to both several times and I'm not sure I could say one way or the other. Both have excellent food. I'm headed back to the Brac in September.

    Question What are Komodo/Raja Ampat diving conditions like in late March / early April?

    Good grief man, do you even remember how to get home? That's a lot of traveling. Good for you. I've been to Brazil, Panama, and Columbia fishing as well as dive drips to the Sea of Cortez in the past year. Had several dive trips moved from last year to this year. I hope to get them in this time...

    My liveaboard trip to Bali/Komodo this coming June is looking less and less likely.

    Soccoro April or May?

    If you can book the Socorros in November or December do it. I will only go in November now.

    INDONESIA - 2021 Cancellations Ahead, is your booking at risk?

    I found this thread yesterday. I’m starting to wonder if the title needs to be changed to 2022. I have a trip in 2022 and I’m being told that trip is 50-50.

    Socorro Pretrip Advice

    I’ve been to the Socorro’s twice. Both trips in early November. Ideal conditions and warm water so I didn’t even need a wetsuit. Great visibility that time of year. I was on the Rocio Del Mar both trips. The great thing about going early November is we were the only boat there on the first trip...

    Cave video/spot light combo option?

    I've used Bigblue lights for several years now as does many of my dive buddies. So far not a single one of us has ever had one to fail. Do some of them fail? Of course. There isn't a dive light maker out there that hasn't had a failure with one of their lights. I can just speak from my own...

    Socorros Marine Park Fee

    That will still work for quite a few folks. I guess I need to start taking my SS before November of 2023. I'll be 65 by then.

    Socorros Marine Park Fee

    Interesting. Since the diving population is getting older, they may be missing out on a lot of park fees. I have the RDM chartered for November of 2023 and I suspect at least half of the folks are or will be over 60.

    Bay Islands COVID-19 Testing Thread

    Something to add to the discussion. On January 29th I tested positive for COVID. I had very mild symptoms. Honestly, I have had head colds much worse. The CDC says you should not test again for 90 days. The US is allowing you to return by using what is called, "documentation of recovery". So...

    Bonaire Exit/reentry

    Why would a cane be touching coral? As far as I know folks just use them as balance to get from the shore to the water.

    Bonaire Exit/reentry

    I just downloaded and read all the rules of STINAPA. No where does it address the use of canes so I'm guessing if they told you it's OK, then it's OK.

    Tipping your dive instructor

    The fact that you will ask for him to be the instructor for your kids is tip enough.

    Cancelled/postponed trips due to COVID - please share your outcomes

    We have a group trip in July to the Cayman Brac Beach Resort. While I am cautiously optimistic that we will be able to take that trip, I did reach out to them in case we can’t. If not, they will allow us to rebook up to two years under the same terms that included some perks from booking at...

    Cancelled/postponed trips due to COVID - please share your outcomes

    The benefits can be many depending on your situation. If you are an individual, the benefits might not be there. I book groups So the benefits are several. 1. My agent is able to hold an entire liveaboard for me from $1500 to $2500. If I were to approach that liveaboard directly and tell them I...

    Cancelled/postponed trips due to COVID - please share your outcomes

    Thanks for the update. Perhaps they have heard the outcry and are acting on it. If they are offering a full credit with no expiration date and all you have to pay is the difference in price from the old price to the new, that seems fair to me. Assuming they have eliminated the “rebooking fee.”
