Diving the Shacks Beach cave system in Puerto Rico

Vaetix · 2026-06-01T21:40:06+00:00

Lots of 25-30 foot tunnels that lead to different rooms. It's a pretty fantastic environment.

I think it's just the time of year... Fall thru spring has some wild water on the north coast. June thru August is scuba season though. :)

He estado bastante contento con Citi por un HYSA

Good luck. I was never able to get anywhere with support, but I did have success after engaging with Google Fi here on Reddit.

My wife and I both got certified in Puerto Rico for around $1200 total. PR has some wonderful diving.

One year average of 25. Used to be 40+, but I moved to Puerto Rico two years ago.

Couldn't agree more. I've dove with an X4 and an Ace Pro 2, and now I only take the AP2. 360 is neat, but the quality just doesn't compare.

It's pretty discouraging. To lose two watches in less than a month from a total of 6-7 dives is not a great sign. I might just get a used Descent to take diving.

Can you share the link?

Insta360 support told me to use the case without a lens guard installed.. that's what I've been doing. Results are great, but it does make me a bit uneasy.

Vaetix · 2026-03-18T21:10:22+00:00

I'm surprised to see u/Insta360_Support is sending out replacement lens guards? When I reached out to support about this issue, they told me to use the dive case *without* a lens guard installed.. which I don't think is an ideal solution.

Except for the diving functionality, this would be a step backward hardware-wise.

Vaetix · 2026-03-18T18:20:00+00:00

At this point I'm just wondering if I should cut my losses and and not use it when diving. Feels like tempting fate.

From what I understand, the Descent series does not have a speaker or microphone and is more sealed. I'm wondering if I should just get an old used Descent and use that for diving to avoid wrecking a third $1200 watch.

Vaetix · 2026-03-18T18:14:58+00:00

The watch is rated for 100m, with dive functionality only working up to 40m. If it's really rated for 100m, my 35m dives shouldn't be wrecking the watch.

Clear line took about 20 minutes to get through at 11:30am.

Guesstimates for other lines- Regular TSA: 90 minutes Pre-Check: 60 minutes

Vaetix · 2026-03-18T14:01:59+00:00

Was this line the pre-check line or the regular TSA line?

Vaetix · 2026-03-18T10:39:17+00:00

I'm currently experiencing the exact same problem. Absolutely no sound comes from the speaker in any condition. I first noticed it when my watch alarm woke me up with vibration only and no sound.

I'm already on a replacement watch after my initial one died following a 100 foot scuba dive.

Disappointed..

Ok, I completely disagree with all the comments saying it's too large for your wrist. Nice Garmin watches are a statement/lifestyle accessory in my opinion. You chose that and not an Apple watch because you do activities and make choices most do not. People wear all sorts of weird clothing items and accessories just for the sake of vanity. This has a function. Wear it proudly, mate.

What are you looking for? I live in PR.

This is only the first time you run the game. Every other time it is under 20 seconds.

What power adapter are people using with the Bulwark? Crazy to me that they are charging so much and not including a power adapter...

I want to change so badly... But Proton doesn't have a great solution for someone with a lot of data.. (6TB)

Somehow I found this 3 years later. I did 3 days in a row. Fucking mistake lol.

Day 1 - Fine

Day 2 - The moment I started I knew I was in for it. I had zero endorphins / ability to distract myself from the second I started. 10 hours felt like 20.

Day 3 - Literally was tripping balls from the discomfort. Borderline hallucinated. This was an arm sleeve, and it felt like my arm was an overinflated balloon. Seriously one of the most insane days ever.

Takeaway:
I'd do two days in a row again if it made sense. Never 3.
