    Camera housing tax? ...

    I got charged with my Nauticam housing this week. He gave me a paper, with my serial number, so at least I won’t have to pay next time... but this is a bad policy overall.

    Any countries open end of June???

    We were hoping to go somewhere end of June, maybe for a couple weeks. Anywhere open?? Saw that Hawaii still requires 14 day quarantine for those coming in... Bahamas MIGHT open in July, BVI shut down. What’s open?

    Qatar Airlines Business Class - New airport in Doha

    Well, they weren't free... but I'm paying just a tad more than Economy, so it is totally worth it!

    Qatar Airlines Business Class - New airport in Doha

    Looking forward to our first trip to the Maldives, and wanted to let folks know there's another airline option from the US, besides Emirates through Dubai. We are flying QATAR through their new airport in Doha, and I've heard great things. Thankfully, I won some Business Class tickets at a...

    Maldives resort and live aboard reviews wanted!

    We just booked with Blue Force One - will have to give updates when we return next April. The second week, we're on a sailboat, so we'll have two different experiences. We will dive a little off the sailboat, maybe 3-4 dives total. Looking forward to it! Thanks everyone!

    Looking for reviews as well. We already have a week on a sailboat in April, but looking to do a liveaboard in late March for a week. This is important, so want to know who has best reputation??

    Freak Of Nature?

    There is a species that is actually named for it's seven arms - Seven Armed Starfish - Luidia ciliaris. And I'm sure you're familiar with the Crown of Thorns Crown-of-thorn sea star which has many legs, too. :-) The thing that made this one interesting to me was that I've seen a multitude of...

    First Night Dive

    Wait till you do a night dive with black lights!! The anenomes and some of the corals "glow" - and it's another amazing experience. We did it on the east end of Grand Cayman with Ocean Frontiers (GREAT dive shop)... and you could actually guide the bloodworms over to the anenomes, and watch...

    Freak Of Nature?

    Interesting answers... thanks! The spiral egg case that I posted the other day was one of the strangest things I've seen diving in a long time. I literally had never seen anything like it - but thanks to another Scubaboard member, the mystery was solved.

    Freak Of Nature?

    I don't know - but I saw many others that appeared to be the same species with 5 legs... Good question. Here's a couple of other shots. One appears to be the same, another has the same features, but different colors / camouflage.

    Freak Of Nature?

    Just a fun photo to share... I was actually snorkeling when I shot this photo, but thought it was odd to see a 4-legged sea star. Not a leg that was cut off or regenerating, but just 4 legs. Kind of like finding a "marine" 4-leaf clover. :-)

    I've Never Seen Anything Like This - Any Ideas?

    I was in Belize - and at the time, just snorkeling, as we were traveling out of Placencia on a catamaran. I saw this at about 20' depth, swam down and snapped a few photos. I've NEVER seen anything remotely close to it. It appears to be growing on another species. Any ideas? We've been...

    Help choosing new camera - Best options for camera / strobe, roughly around $2,000

    Thanks - yes, I'd like the ability to do video, but it's not the primary reason for the camera. I'm looking for a general purpose camera, but mostly shoot macro and closer subjects. Occasionally I shoot a wreck, so that's why I say general purpose. In other words, photography is definitely a...

    Help choosing new camera - Best options for camera / strobe, roughly around $2,000

    Greetings friends. I've been a 3-time owner of Sealife Reefmasters - DC100, DC200 & DC500. I'm at the point where I need to purchase another camera - but I'm not "married" to Sealife at this point. My strobe is no longer working, so that's out and although my camera will work, it's definitely...
