So I am researching rental equipment for our bareboat catamaran charter, got all the details, etc., including info on where we can get tanks refilled at all the spots in the BVI. All looks good, then I see a post about fills taking 30 minutes? Really? We don’t own a tank, so I have no idea...

Wife & I did Manta Ray Bay & Palau Aggressor in Oct 2010. SFO-HNL-GUM-YAP-ROR. Had the same bag limits as you described. Filled our gear bag (checked) to the limit (gear + a few clothes) then a carry-on to the limit. The "personal item" was also on the big side. Managed to fit everything we...

I have had problems paring from time to time. My tips: 1. Section 5.7.2 & 5.8.11 in the manual refer to the subject of pairing 2. Make sure you have air in your tank--the transmitter will not turn itself on without air pressure. 3. Make sure "Tank Pressure" (Section 5.8.11) is ON, then clear...

It IS the lack of red you are worried about. Water filters out the red of natural sunlight, giving you photos that have too much blue or green (depending on the settings of your camera). Withing the range of your strobe, the light of the strobe gives you all the colors of the spectrum, thus...

Did the Aggressor last Fall. From what we saw, if you want lots of diving, liveaboard is the way to go. Looks like a long boat ride from Koror to many of the popular/well known/best dive sites. Other popular & great dive sites not even accessible from Koror (i.e. Peleliu). On the Aggressor...

I recently picked up (on the cheap) a used Ikelite W-20 WA lens for my compact camera rig and it came with the blue water filter that slip-fits over the lens. I have used a filter in the past and they work great for those coral garden shots with lots of coral beyond the range of my strobe (my...

My wife & I have had Micron’s for just under a year, 45 +/- dives (2 international trips). They work great, do what they were designed to do and do it well. Best features: flexible hose and small 2nd stage size. No problems at all. Having said that, they are our 1st regulator purchase...

Another Agree. I too am a past passenger on Aggressor and as such posted a review here on Scubaboard. I think this board is much more appropriate for actual passenger reports, especially since the reports posted here by the Aggressor Fleet people are also available on the Aggressor website.

Is there a house reef at Garden Island Resort? We have been presented a package deal that includes "unlimited shore diving" but we can't find any info/comments about a house reef. Where does one do shore diving when staying at Garden Island? Thanks

Anyone have any comments about the Dive Shop & Dive Operation at Paradise Taveuni? Do they have dive lockers? How are the rinse tanks? Lots of space to gear up? Do you have to carry gear very far? How are the boats? Roomy? Etc. We are considering Paradise in May and would like info on...

Thanks for the compliments. Some answers to questions: Privacy: We did not have a problem with privacy—surprising how big the boat can seem. The top deck has lots of room and usually had only a few people between dives—reading-snoozing-etc. The Salon deck has a few tables in...

In a word: Fantastic. First class all the way and worth every penny of the pricy fare. And the word applies to the diving too!. Our week of Oct 23 - 30 had a total of 17 guests, one short of capacity. We traveled with a dive group from our local dive shop that comprised all but 3 of the guests...

My wife & I did Yap before one week on the Palau Aggressor last October. Stayed at Manta Ray Bay. We recommend the stop in Yap. Take a close look at the United/Continental schedules. When we made our booking, by going to Yap before Palau, we had three options: 3nts, 4nts, or a full week...

My wife & I BOTH have Vyper Air's. Since we are buddies when we dive, we are always in close proximity. Never had a problem like you describe.

DoNot--please clarify: My Oly P&S does not allow me to control shutter speed or aperature, but uses TTL with my strobe. So, in the case of a wide angle full reef shot with blue water in about 1/3 to 1/4 of the photo (similar to your crow's nest example) are you suggesting the strobe be set...

I have a Mikron. When adjusted fully open, sometimes it free flows, most time it does not. I now keep it backed down to about 1/2, doesn't free flow at this setting. I open fully underwater only occasionally when it seems like I am having to draw a bit too hard. And then I usually forget...

My 2 bars from a Vyper Air owner who has had this problem a few times: Regarding the original post: Section 5.10.2 is the correct resource. Suunto theory: Because of your fast ascent, what is usually a recommended safety stop is now mandatory (i.e. do not skip the stop or you will be...

Joe please clarify: Does SeaLife consider 26mm wide enough or is there a Wide lens in development for future release? Thanks

I have cobbled together (on the cheap) an Olympus 770sw, PT-035 housing, Oly UFL-1 strobe with a Sea & Sea optical cable. I am a newbie at underwater photography and have only used the setup one time with mixed results. I am looking for tips get to the best photos possible in the shortest...

So the unit does not show in thier data base as being sold to the shop you bought it from, but what shop does it show up as being sold too? Something is fishy--they know what dealer they sold it to--they should at least tell you: it is or is not registered by a consumer, it is or is not...
