    Bali, Trip Update, Padangbai.

    Hi, my husband and I recently returned from a three-week trip to Bali. This was a two-week dive trip and one week for sightseeing and participating in the Bali New Year celebration of Nyepi. The diving was fantastic! This was our first Asia trip and I was a bit intimidated by everything. A...

    Travel Insurance

    Hi SB, I know this is a late post to this topic, but we had a couple of mishaps I feel compelled to share. Two years ago while diving in Cozumel, I had a dive accident. DAN was awesome! Phone calls, referrals, help with coordination with our Blue Cross stateside primary insurance. $3000.00...

    Ghost fish aka "Spooky"

    Yep, that's the one. It has a "face" that looks like a cat or wearing a skull cap. ??? I am flummoxed. The jack knife is the one I was chasing. I can see pectoral fins, round fins on the side and a tail towards the "back". I think it is kinda spooky. I only noticed it after I loaded the...

    Costa Rica diving?

    Just got back from Playa Hermosa/playa Cocos. We dove with Rich Coast and they had boat issues. Their big boat had engine troubles and they chartered a fishing boat that was not set up for diving. The two small boats could only go to close local spots so we dove the same 6 sites for 9 days...

    Ghost fish aka "Spooky"

    Just got back from diving Playa Hermosa Costa Rica and I was rather unsuccessfully chasing a rock croaky with my Cannon G-10. To my surprise I see this fish on the photo and have no idea what I am looking at. He/it looks kinda spooky. So I am going to attempt to post the three photo series...

    Should I layer a 3mm and shorty?

    Planning a Costa Rica dive in March. Last time I dove Kona I froze with my 3mm. I have a 7mm for cold mountain lakes and Monterey Bay (Brrrrr). I have a new, never been worn 3mm shorty, I always get too cold to try it. I also just bought a Bare 7mm step in hooded vest that I tried once and...

    Why Bonaire instead of Aruba?

    My wife and I won a TRIP to Curacao last summer. Great reefs on the less traveled northern part of the island. I have friends that have been to Bonaire several times and swear by it. From what I can ascertain though, Bonaire is mostly beach dives where( at least where we were at) most of...

    New gear purchase survey 2010

    By the way, Zeagle Express had the lowest prices on the BCD and accessories that I found. The Express Tech is only 4.5 lbs and is rugged and well made. I can't wait to use it this summer.

    New gear purchase survey 2010

    I went to Cozumel in March. Dive equipment was very heavy and limited packing options. I went to Scuba board and followed a thread on lighter weight equipment. I purchased a new Zeagle Express Tech BCD with all the options off of the opinions from that thread. I also purchased a used pair of...

    Needing New wetsuit...3mil...Opinions

    It sounds like you need to go to a heavier suit than a 3mm to me. We dove Hawaii last winter when the water was in the low 70's and our 3mm's weren't enough. We ended up buying hoodies and heavy rash guards and were still cold on the second dive. The older you get the bodies metabolism...
