    Flower Garden Banks - worth it as a destination?

    I’ve been tempted by the Flower Garden Banks for many years. That said I live in colorado and I haven’t been able to decide if it’s worth it as a destination to fly down and take a short live aboard / overnight just to dive there, when there’s obviously plenty of great other spots requiring...

    Where should I take my new-diver 11 year old to start?

    Happy hump day everyone. I just enrolled my 11 year old son into an SDI open water course. My ex-wife has a trip on the books for the two of them going to Nevis this fall and she wanted to take him diving, probably just a two-tank day with a guide. Noteworthy, she's a novice diver who hasn't...

    Navy set to detonate old ordinance at Molokini

    Have y’all heard about this? Good history too. Is it true that the Navy is planning to detonate old ordnance in the Molokini Marine Life Conservation District in July 2020? The record shows how devastating this was after detonations at Molokini in the 1970s and 1980s. FYI there’s a link to the...

    ISO a Molokini / Kahoolawe 50 cal bullet

    On my last trip over I found a 50 caliber bullet while diving the crater. I gave it to my 6 year old son as a souvenir to bring home from our trip, and he thought it was the coolest thing ever. Unfortunately, six months later he decided to take it to show his friends and lost it... he's pretty...

    Curious about life on a live-aboard....

    I've never done a live-aboard, but am heavily interested in doing one of the tiger beach shark dives for a week. Given the nature (dangerous sharks) and expense of it, it's been a little tough finding a partner. Being my first trip like this, and probably flying solo, I'd like to hear some...

    Flying between GC & LC and DCS?

    Do the planes flying inter-island in the Caymans stay low enough where I dont need to worry about DCS, or flying between Grand Cayman and Little Cayman within 24 hours of diving?

    Question: Ziplock bag style camera housings

    What can you tell me about these things? Are they cheap peices of crap that will leak if even get it close to water? I'm looking for a cheap housing to take some shots at very shallow depths... I've found a few different brands, but here's one I found on EBay...
