since I am a conservative diver, I use it in all my dives, since the HR is taken into consideration in computing one's NDL.

I have several Apeks xtx 200 which I have been using for several years (still have them at present). Bought an atomics T2x set-up about a year ago and never used my apeks again. Also bought my wife another atomics T2x setup a few months back and she likewise never dove with her apeks...

at the sabang pier there are several convenience stores where you can buy beers. Suggest that you buy them in cans as they are more convenient and easier (lighter)to carry and you won't have to be concerned about having to pay for bottle deposits

+ 1 for the DSS kydex BP/W. Paired with a 26 lbs Wing, its what I am using both for local dives and travels. If your preference is under 20 lbs Wing, they have the 17 lbs Wing Lift which you can pair off with the kydex BP. Plus the company's after sales service and support is excellent. When...

Used to have that problem way back after using said DC for about 2 1/2 years. The problem was that there was gradual deposits that build up in the sensors. After having it cleaned at a local dive shop, the problem was addressed and no longer recurred. Although I'm no longer using it as I...

Diver's Point located in Wilson Street, Greenhills, San Juan, Metro Manila carries the Oxycheque Brand. Its where I bought my 30 lbs Oxycheque wing. For the DSS 17 Torus, you may inquire with Raymond Dy at his email address dy.raymond@gmail.com if he still has some stocks in his inventory as...

Yup, I would like to second that. Was with prandy that time when we decided to do our safety stop at diver's pod. Pancit was good, and it was prandy's treat!

With the amount of trash in the area and being a muck diving site, maybe it is more appropriate to name the site as "the new Basura dive site" instead of secret bay. I noticed also that there seems to be an open garbage dump site and when I was about to leave last sunday, I saw some garbages...

skip davao and replace it with sogod bay where aside from diving you can also snorkel with the whalesharks.

stayed there last September 17 and 18 and joined a clean-up dive organized as part of the international coastal clean-up efforts. Although the rooms are nice, the food is somewhat ok but there is room for improvement. Admittedly however, the beach frontage is really littered with trash and we...

Red rock. Currently, u/w photographers had been raving about the two resident rhinopias which can be spotted in that site

considering that the entire fleet is in need of major refurbishment and repairs, the most logical thing to do is sell part of the fleet so that the proceeds can be used to finance the cost of upgrading the remaining ships. Also, from what i gather, the company is downsizing its operations as...

it is probable that the arrested diver was not given the "right to make one phone call" prior to his incarceration, or if he had, may have not judiciously exercised that right, which resulted to the launching of the unnecessary massive and full scale search and rescue operations

a year or two ago, there was a season of time that mantas were almost a guaranteed sighting at mainit

the dive site gained international prominence as it was once featured in scuba diving magazine. Too bad that after having caught international attention, it had to be closed down with no certainty as to whether it shall be re-opened.

Did a day trip dive last saturday, 3 September 2011. First dive at Bahura around 10:30 am and waters are relatively calm with a 27 deg Celsius and fantastic visibility of easily over 20 meters. However, at the start of the 2nd dive around 12:30 at Beatriz with the objective of reaching larry's...

another vote for the atlantis resorts (both dumaguete and puerto galera) and the atlantis azores in my opinion is the best liveaboard for tubbataha. I was given a tour of the azores and was pretty much impressed with its facilities. Incidentally, I was wondering how were you able to get a slot...

On the contrary, my impression of Kei Contreras is that she's an average and ordinary individual who still can't afford to purchase her own car, and the usual expenses entailed in having such especially the prohibitive cost of gasoline nowadays, not to mention, the parking rates in makati. I...

A year or two back, it had been reported in the papers that there were other taxi drivers employing such modus operandi and based on the recollection of the victims then, they recalled the cab driver having a bottled water and unusually drinking the same while driving. Whether it was just plain...

I read somewhere that for such modus operandi, the taxi driver counteracts the effects of the nauseous gas by drinking lots of water. Anyway, its high time that the matter should be reported to the Land Transportation Office and the Philippine National Police so that the taxi's franchise can be...
