Now that we're starting to travel again, your reports are more crucial than ever. They reflect your own experiences and because they tell both the good and bad, your reports help make Undercurrent a unique source for serious divers.
For example, Lynda Durfee (Alexandria, VA) writes she only made one dive trip this year but strongly urges all reporters to include COVID precautions and safety in their reader's reports. Recent reviewers for Aqua Cat reported divers with symptoms were allowed to board, no except crew wore masks, and in one case, a diver was the last to surface and no crew was on deck to assist.
Regarding the two tragic boat fires in 2019, the Conception and the Red Sea Aggressor 1, a reader tells how she traveled on the Red Sea Aggressor I in April & Dec. 2018 and suspects the fire started in the area just inside the salon from the dive deck where multiple devices were being recharged on two power strips. Maybe she's right.
Contribute your own reports. They join more than 10,000 others in our online database (and our annual Travelin Divers' Chapbook), which is easily searchable by any other subscriber. You can even add photos if you wish. We're also asking subscribers to report on the use of single-use plastic at dive resorts and liveaboards they visit - this information we'll use to contact those dive travel operators and compel them to change their ways (and keep those giant garbage patches in the oceans from getting larger).
