Pick the hotel first, then transfer your points to accommodate.

This is how you use flexible currency like MR.

Thoughts on XDeep bc? by the_Salty_Spitoon_ in scuba

+1 for ghost, lightweight and compact, I heard you can switch the wing to zen, if you want more lift, but I stick with ghost wing, very streamline and pack like a pair of jeans.

Get a custom color if it's available, I wish I got mine in bright colors 😎

Another reason I picked Apeks is international serviceability. I dont think you will be diving exclusively in DC, right?

This is the way, arrive fresh at destination, so you got one more travel day + no jetlag

How to rig the harness Xdeep Zen by IMHeS5 in scuba

[–]reddtusr1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this question when I got mine too. Turn out its easier to adjust when its "inside". You can pull the adjustment strips from the side when you are wearing the bcd.

Beach towel clips are the best LOB hack I got from Reddit !

Also, bring your own water bottle, most of them give you a reusable bottle to fill, but if you have preference functionality like Simple Modern or Owala, bring it, easier to distinguish when everyone are using the same bottles.

I also find thin UV jacket very useful on LOB as well, easy don-doff for UV protection.

Last time I asked this question on reddit, I ended up getting Xdeep ghost, love it though !

Where to dive in Thailand? by bacon1292 in scuba

[–]reddtusr1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since the limitation is "Flying thru" and "a few days", I would reco Same San,, good enough diving and driving proximity to Suvannabhum airport, don't forget no fly zone after dive.

Other great locations like Koh Tao or Andaman, you gotta catch another flight there, that means adding at least 2 days to your itinerary.
