WP-DC21 Underwater housing for Canon G9 | eBay Selling my Canon G9 housing. It's served me well over the years, but unfortunately a pending baby means less diving, and even less money! Hopefully it can go to someone else who will enjoy using it as much, and capturing some great pics. :-)

to answer some of your less subjective questions... -Yes, even if surgery goes perfectly, it only corrects existing eye conditions - it doesn't prevent normal eye aging, so you'll probably need glasses of some sort when you're older. So, is ~20 years of contact-free life worth it? -halos at...

You just have to be smart about it. I use reusable heat packs that are non-toxic, just in case they break (though I've never had that happen). I got a bunch on ebay for cheap. I just activate one before I go into the water, and then drop it down my wetsuit. It doesn't keep me completely...

Another recommendation for Seasport divers. They're professional, friendly, safety conscious, and thorough. Our DM took the time to ensure that everyone got the chance to see interesting life, had all the information for logs, etc. We did 2 dives with them, including Sheraton Caverns (lots of...

on a t-shirt that we picked up in Kauai: "My other shirt is a wetsuit".

interesting... always good to hear a countering view. So you've done the dive then?

that answered exactly what I wanted to know, thank you!! :-) Once we get our budget for the trip sorted out, maybe we'll see you in about a month!

On one website, they'd mentioned it was for "advanced" divers only. Anyone have some insight as to what exactly that means? Not just the certification level (we've got that more than covered), but rather what features of the dive make it "advanced". For example, we're very familiar with...

The hubby and I planning to spend 2 weeks in Hawaii for our 5 year anniversary. There will definitely be diving involved, but it's not going to be an every day thing like Bonaire. We were planning to spend most of the time on the Big Island, but it seems like a pretty expensive island, and...

Hi all, I'm getting Visian ICL eye surgery in a few weeks to correct my horrid vision, and I'm wondering if any other divers out there have gotten this done, and if so, how soon did you return to diving? My surgeon has given me a few different answers, so I get the impression he's not 100%...

I'd answer honestly for a more major health issue, but i lie whenever it asks silly minor things, like if I get motion sick or have back problems. :shrug: I puke if I'm sitting in surge too long, and I have to go to a chiro cuz I sit in front of a computer for most of my waking hours. Nothing...

Thanks all! We ended up deciding to push the trip until August, so it gives me a lot more time for research & budgeting! :-)

CPR pocket mask safety sausage flashlight license, credit card, cash (we've lost our car keys under water before, so it's just useful to have just in case) DAN & c-card (the c-card is out of habit, but the DAN card is in case we need to make an emergency call and don't have time to dig around...

Hi all, We're planning to go to Big Island at the end of March, but unfortunately, we're on a tight budget. Any general tips or recommendations on places to stay, travel sites to book through, etc? Since we probably won't be able to afford a lot of guided boat dives, how's the shore diving...

ditto... We went on the Sand Dollar to Santa Barbara Island, and they took us to the Rookery, as well as an amazing underwater arch. We were completely surrounded by sea lions during the rookery dive, and at one point, they far outnumbered the divers. They were very playful; one even stole my...

I regret it in the sense that it wasn't worth the $100.... the software that came with it is just so impossibly difficult to use (very confusing UI, buggy, etc) so I used it maybe 2x, and then gave up. However, I like that someday, if I want to take the time and willing to suffer the pain... i...

I use the patch (you need a prescription from your doc) when I go on a boat. Works pretty well, though the sensation is a bit weird... I can feel my body wanting to be sick, but then the medicine kinda beats the nausea into submission. I can't pretend that I feel 100%, but it's certainly...

We're planning to participate via Eco Dive Center. http://www.divevets.com/front/?p=424

South Africa. And in Air Jaws 2, they did show some GWs on the Cali coast (Northern part I think) do occasionally jump, but not with the frequency in South Africa.
