Re: Ear Plugs

I felt like I had water in my ear. I hate to admit this...but, this is how I feel everytime I do a lot of diving (more than a couple of dives a week). I just thought it was "normal". Maybe I should keep a closer watch on it??? I would be interested to know if others also experience this. ...

I'll be there for dive #2. Joe has kindly offered to buddy up with me do drills in preparation for a class with the "Blue Hands of Death" and his evil, cammera toting assistant. :eek:

Re: Scooter help

We had the same thing happen with our scooters (2 different scooters with 2 different batteries). It turns out that we think the voltage might be a little high in the house and it prematurely shuts off the charger. It seems that if I turn the charger off, then restart it after it says it is charged,...

Bonaire electrical question

Has anyone ever had any problems charging lap tops, can lights, cameras, etc... in Bonaire? As I understand it, their electricity is 112-127V/50Hz with spikes happening often. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Re: Netbook???

Since I am leaving Friday, this is a rather last minute decision and I would have to purchase it from one of our local big box stores, probably (no customization). I am surprised by the short battery life, since I've seen specs with up to 12 hour battery life. Newer technology or just overstatements...

What are folks experience with netbooks? We're heading off on vacation and I've been pondering getting one. It would be easier to carry than my lap top.
