Jeff,
Thanks for the great info on explorer. Very much appreciated. I was thinking of doing nitrox before and now you've convinced me. I think i'll do the coursework up here and the req'd dives on the boat when i get down there. I'm also going to try and get a couple of new releases on dvd to bring down for the crew & us to watch at your suggestion. also, thanks for the tip on cutting down the clothes. that's great - i'm going to bring a bathing suit and sunscreen - my gear bag is almost over the 50lb airline limit as it is, so it's nice to know you don't need much when you're on board. in fact, i'm going going to wear my bathing suit, mask and snorkel to the airport.....i*can't*wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey, this may sound like a dumb question, but is there any reason to bring a dunk bag? i always carry one for boat dives, but do you need it for a liveaboard? I usually keep it under the dive bench with my sea fog, sunglasses, hat, and other crap that i use between dives... Thanks again.
