I am very interested in this thread too. We too have used EVE forever, but their tech support is almost nonexistent. We don't need it often, but when we do need it, we need it to be timely, which it most certainly is not. After years of using it, it will be a big mental hurdle to change...

The signage looks great - can't wait to see it in person in a little over a week!

Thank you so much, this was exactly the info I needed!

Greetings ScubaBoarders! We are heading off to the Bunaken Oasis and Kungkungan Bay Resort in just a week after having last visited 10 years ago. At the last minute, I remembered a couple of things and hope you all can help me out. 1. I seem to remember experiencing weird exchange rate...

Just stumbled across this post as I did a search for Cobalt vs Pro Plus X. I have just spent a week diving the Pro Plus X and have found it extremely user friendly. I did read the manual before my trip, but that was mostly to learn the computer's habits and capabilities. When actually setting...

I just came across a couple of articles too, and yes, confusing information, both in saying that they are at a hospital in sunnyvail, mention of the "pipe" and of falling off the boat...difficult to tell what is really going on here!

That World Mark has an excellent location. I have several friends who stay there on their annual visits to Maui so I've seen several of the units. They are clean, modern and nice. I'd say go for it!

In my neck of the woods, there are almost never "pool" sessions, as most of our confined water happens in the ocean. In that aspect, I'm not qualified to respond to this posting in regards to pool use. That said, I have received tips of $13 (which was AWESOME because I realized that the diver...

I wear mine, I was trained that way, it has come in handy for myself and sometimes in lending to others who need to surface ahead of the rest of us AND I don't even notice it's there anymore.

This one was a doozy!

Fascinating post! I think people hit it on the head when they said that it all depends on what you're looking for. When you go with a shop, it may cost a bit more, but usually, they have already scouted out the area and worked out the kinks. They can better provide you with information as to...

Aloha, I just flew from HNL to Nadi to Taveuni and back last week. No one measured our luggage anywhere and we were not charged over limit fees this time on weight (we were a little over). Last time I did the same trip, I was charged only on the Nadi-Taveuni flight but not returning and not...

NSE ROCKS! I have dived with them a few times and always see new critters on parts of the island you usually can't get to. Pros to diving with them: Adventurous spirit, cool new places, fun people! Wear sunscreen (there is no shade) and be prepared to paaaaartay!

My friends just got back from Thailand where they told me the crew put their fins on for them before each dive!! This got us to talking about what makes a boat trip feel really luxurious. For me, it's as simple as haivng a towel handy when I get back on the boat, but the discussion made me...

Great trip report, thanks! Any other tips regarding tipping, getting around, shopping opportunities?

Hi! I see that this thread was started over a year ago! I will be at Ramon's in early November and am interested in current comments from folks who have been to Ramon's in 2009. Also, if anyone has any non-diving recommendations or tips, throw 'em out there! thanks!

We have been participating in eLearning from the moment it was introduced and with few exceptions have found our students to be well prepared, despite the fact that our shop receives many of the completiong notice emails just hours from the start of the class! (We require our students to...

too cute!

Additional night diver answer: Commercial operators who have a permit to a beach that's open until 8 will probably be able to conduct guided and/or training night dives in Jan and Feb when it gets dark earlier. And when the water's at it's coldest (at least by our way of thinking)! And to...

THE COMPLIANCE TIMELINE Wow, that sounds so nice and cuddly, doesn't it? It's really some fabulous spin on the part of the county to placate us and make us feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The fact is this: The mayor has signed these rules into place effective this coming Tuesday. Without...
