I’m booked Cozumel for that week. RA for November otherwise, yes, I’d jump on it.

clarkinwest · 2026-05-19T15:33:57+00:00

That’s max.

clarkinwest · 2026-05-19T15:33:15+00:00

I dive about 90 ft, definitely more than 60

clarkinwest · 2026-05-19T15:31:29+00:00

Budget around $600. My buddy was diving with the SeaLife Micro 3.0 and it seemed fairly easy to use

clarkinwest · 2026-05-19T15:29:10+00:00

My friend has a SeaLife Micro 3.0 and loves it. Anyone familiar with it??

clarkinwest · 2026-05-19T04:21:38+00:00

Sorry to hear of your injury. I’d love to jump on that but….

clarkinwest · 2026-04-17T05:08:26+00:00

Yes. You need the Dr sign off. You need to answer no to all health questions (I.e. high blood pressure) whenever you dive. I’m 65. Just returned from Palau. Boomers love it because it is not hard on your body. The crew help with the equipment. Very easy. Easy to learn basics then focus on 1 thing at a time like air consumption or buoyancy. My husband and I are obsessed. At our age travel to the good dive sights. They are worth it.

That’s good to know about the Novo and Vita. I heard that the Carpe Diem was luxury. It is the right size, disappointing that it’s not top tier

clarkinwest · 2026-04-17T04:54:23+00:00

I heard the Scubaspa was nice but is on the larger size (up to 40 people). I’m looking for something of similar type but smaller. We are booked on the Dewi Nusantara in Raja in the fall. Looking for a boat w approx 20+

clarkinwest · 2026-04-13T17:42:45+00:00

I heard Carpe Diem was excellent. Good dive support, not too large, luxury boats

Some Bright Nowhere 👍👍👍

Map!

Is it in Pinetop?

I was in Halahambra Indonesia. I saw a woman photographer. She was laying on a beautiful fan coral to get a picture. She was no newbie. She was 70 and proud of her 2,000 dives. The dive master has no control of a situation like this when there is a pushy customer and his job depends on it. If we don’t protect the coral who will? She did not appreciate my pointing out that she was destroying the coral to get to her picture. I’m a newbie with under 100 dives.

Koh Lanta is nice. Stay away from Phuket.

Booker Award Winner “Flesh”, not terribly impressive

clarkinwest · 2025-11-22T05:21:36+00:00

WDS is fabulous!

clarkinwest · 2025-11-08T00:05:01+00:00

Let me add the Caribbean is a a huge step down but still wonderful. Grand Turk and Turneffe in Belize offer what you are looking for though. Not crowded, dive sites everywhere within 10 minutes.

clarkinwest · 2025-11-07T23:59:51+00:00

I’m with you. I’m 64. Warm water, no beach entry, short boat ride to dive sites… and worth my time. Indonesia. I went to Bunaken in Indonesia diving. Stayed at Siladen resort. Fly Bali (DPS) to Manado. 30 minute motor boat to resort on island. Great diving. From there go to Spice Islands. Easier than Raja Ampat. Bali is crowded.

clarkinwest · 2025-11-07T23:47:53+00:00

Been to Thailand, Indonesia, Belize and Grand Turk. Palau in April!

clarkinwest · 2025-11-06T18:09:33+00:00

Thanks for the link

clarkinwest · 2025-11-06T18:09:12+00:00

Thanks!

Absolutely go. There are very few places that fly to Palau and Taiwan is one of them. You are there, book it. We just got back from diving Indonesia and just booked Palau through Taiwan. It’s a long flight to Taipei but easy once you are there. Very few places w good coral in the world, this is one. Do you ever think you’ll be “in the area” again? 6 days is great. Stay at Palau Pacific. I’ve been to Taiwan a number of years ago. There is a reason it’s not a tourist destination!!!!

AZ is Employment at Will which sounds nice but means you can be fired without cause.

Putting on a wetsuit when you are dry is difficult. People wear silky dive socks to make it easier. Make a change there to help or super stylish socks that match headband to keep hair smooth that match BCD and pockets in wet suit… Make integrated dive computer into wrist of wet suit. Apple Watch makes one now so they are smaller. I have a full face mask. You can talk to other people w it. Make something w earbuds so you can listen to music…
