For anyone traveling to Fiji, I just noticed this on the Fiji Airways site: "As part of our Travel Ready Covid-19 safety programme, our Cabin Baggage allowance has been amended. You may carry the allowance stated below, however, your personal item needs to be included in the 1 (in economy), or...

Four of us are scheduled to go to Coz in a couple weeks. I have been monitoring the coronavirus rates over the past month and they still seem to be increasing. All four of us are vaccinated, so our health concerns are reduced, but I worry about what restaurants are open, mask rules, etc. We...

For anyone who has used the Garmin Descent, could you provide any information of the durability / resistance to scratching of the DLC coated titanium vs the stainless steel? Thanks

Started thinking that maybe if I can get a Covid vaccine, I could do a trip to Cozumel in the summer or fall. Went online to American airlines last night to check the Denver to Coz availability and a RT ticked is $3356. Thought that must be some glitch and waited until today and same fare...

I am starting a new thread because I am changing topics, but this has grown out of my Aqualung reg problems thread if anyone needs context. About an hour ago, I stopped by a LDS to inquire about their reg service costs and few other things. In the process, I got a sales pitch for Atomic regs...

My family primarily dives Aqualung regs and have been happy with them. In the past year (well, before covid), I have had two second stages develop holes or tears in the diaphragm and a three second stages have counterbalance cylinders go bad, I am told due to wear. These problems have...

On a recent dive trip my Legend LX had been fine for a couple of days of boat dives but then suddenly began breathing wet as I began a shore dive. I switched to my octo and continued the dive, with the intent of giving it a try at depth in case the pressure somehow made a difference. As one...

I am interested in hearing thoughts about this. My wife and I have a fairly full dive calendar this year but have not been able to do a dive trip with our two adult sons for almost a year and decided to squeeze in a family trip in early 2020. One of our favorite destinations in the Caribbean...

A while back I dumped all my braided hoses for reasons known to all of us by now and re-installed good old fashioned rubber. I have some hoses that are old enough that I want to replace them just to be cautious. I am inclined to get new rubber hoses but wanted to check and see if there is...

I won a one week trip to Atlantis resorts in either Dumaguete or Puerto Galera (my choice). I can go anytime between now and mid-February and I probably cannot go until December-January. I have read all that I can find on the two locations, and it seemsd like Dumaguete is considerd better...

My wife and I are going to go to Taveuni (at least that is the current plan) next May. We are looking at Paradise or Garden Island resorts for 7 nights / 5 days of diving. Never been to Fiji and our choices are based on some reports from friends and searching on here. I would welcome any...

I would like to buy a couple of these. New would be ideal if at a good price. Close to new is okay, too. Looking for the so-called "T-shape" model, not the older version. Balanced, with 2 HP ports. Do not want the lx model. Thanks.

I had an odd issue with my Perdix AI and wonder if anyone has a suggestion. I will contact Shearwater next week but hoped maybe someone had some guidance in the meantime. My computer lost comms with the transmitter for a bit (because of having my arms crossed in a way that blocked signal) and...

Just a "heads up." Someone on ebay is selling what they claim to be 3 new oceanic OCS dive computers for under $300 each. I know nothing of the seller and have no connection to the sale, but potentially this could be a good deal if you are looking for a wrist computer that does DSAT and/or...

I have an opportunity for free lodging and diving on Little Cayman this Fall, but will need to go sometime in September through mid-December. Obviously, Sept, Oct and most of Nov are hurricane season, and December can have nortes and generally cool and wet weather. I have done a search here...

I have a new Scubapro Hyrdos I will be using soon. I have read a number of posts on ScubaBoard about the monoprene ripping and that Scubapro has told people there are two versions of shoulder straps, with the newer version being reinforced, that the BC should not be stored on a hanger and that...

Can an Apeks XTX second stage be used on an Aqualung legend LX first stage? if so, any problems or issues to consider? Thanks

Will be diving the Turks & Caicos with Explorer Ventures later this year and I was thinking of going to Providenciales a couple days early to do some non-diving activities (and avoid the overnight flight I would otherwise need to take). Is this worth doing and if so, any recommendations for...

My wife and I are planning on going to St. Croix to dive sometime this spring. Never been there. I was researching dive ops and encountered a comment that one op I am considering ended the dive for all when the first person ran low on air. The comment I saw was that a relatively shallow dive...
