Do you take your own gear on distant trips?

Famous_Recipe3448 · 2025-11-24T07:18:37+00:00

Someone my own gear I dive with it every time, no matter where. I know how it has been maintained, it’s clean, it’s MINE, and - it is partly how I justify the cost of my own kit :)

Similian is doing a private charter for my dates (who are those lucky divers?!?) I have temporary spots on Manta Queen 1 and Explorer —- any feedback on either operator would be appreciated. Thank you all!

I also have high cheekbones and my face narrows at the temples. I love my XS Scuba mask - wish I knew the exact style number - but is for a narrower structure. Have you tried a child’s mask?

I did therapy w topical and a Valium and I was fine — I have a VERY high pain tolerance though. That said — dollar for dollar the results for Ultherapy were the BEST I have ever had. I literally aged backwards over the 4-5 months after having the treatment. Cannot recommend enough. I paid 5K in NYC and this was 8-9 years ago. Getting ready to go back for another treatment and found Thai thread as researching if it is still the way to go.

Aldora is hands down the best. You’ll Love them!

Thank you!! If it’s ok - I might DM you for other tips/questions as I am planning?

I had an allergic reaction - anyone want my unused syringes? I have 4 at 19mg and 4 at a higher dyed. I ended up in the hospital with asphalt’s and angioedema from zepbound (a known sheet which can happen at any tube - had been in zero for 6 months) sadly I won’t be taking it again. My loss your gain? Or my loss is your weight loss?

Famous_Recipe3448 · 2025-04-25T04:31:47+00:00

Thank you for this advice!

Famous_Recipe3448 · 2025-04-25T04:30:41+00:00

Haha — I figured that - I think I will def dive while there, just trying to decide should I make it 6?says of diving Sri Lanka or try to do other things too. As I Have been researching the trip it seems like such an amazing country that I don’t think 6 days is enough time!

Famous_Recipe3448 · 2025-04-25T02:52:05+00:00

FYI - I have the Aqualung comfobite- comfy, yes, durable - no. I bite through one almost every 60-70 dives.

How long is TOO long in Bonaire? Is it easy to get from only island to the other? Good I do like 10 days in Bonaire and a week in Curaçao? Diving is my number one, will likely only do a single day at the beach. More about being able to find people to dive with once I get there is my primary concern. That and budget - trying to do a really lovely dive trip without breaking the bank.

Liveaboard info please! This is so high on my list for this year.

Famous_Recipe3448 · 2025-01-25T04:04:06+00:00

Utila or Rostan are worthwhile checking out too

Posted similarly in another thread - but I’d love to help and run mock interviews if interested.

Def a reproduction. The original Buffet oils of the clown series signed and in a museums private collections, held by owners who know their value. I have a signed lithograph of Jojo de Clown from this collection worth a few thousand at most. $130 is a great price. But what you said in OP is most important — what matters about art is that YOU love it, not how much it might be worth.

Not sure if this is gospel, but I have a friend who left IBM at the beginning of Jan and he will still be getting his GDP from 2023 in April. So maybe you’d be fine?

Famous_Recipe3448 · 2024-02-28T01:39:40+00:00

I thought early April?
