such as? from what I see and hear locally here in sweden, it comes and goes. Ursuit used to be great but has had a run of bad batches recently, same as santi, but picking up again. 2014 and earlier santis are great as well as 2016 and onward but 15/16 I know of at least 30-40 suits that had to...

aw,shame you didnt get to go. Used to live in kyoto, such a nice city, very relaxed and wonderful all year around but a little bit far from the ocean :P Back then I was taking a break from diving but now I would find it hard to move back there even if many friends and memories from there are...

to me that sounds like good service as provided as standard. These at least are standard services (hot drinks/towels/good food/cleanliness) we provide on our weekend trips here and none of us ever request or want a tip for this..

wow, I just mentioned this to some of my dive buddies here at the shop, many who have been on dozens of LOBS around the world, cheap and expensive ones, they all said that your case would definitely be a 0 tip trip. At most one guy had tipped 100euro in truk

I agree Dan, the examples I mentioned were supposed to be of going beyond good service. But I think 10% would be excessive depending on the LOB cost.. in the past on some LOB with our full group booking the vessel my friend who organised it all had payed everything in advance, included...

well, thats the thing..what is good service? Lets say on a liveaboard I would expect good service by the crew as part of the package.. If an individual goes beyond the level of good service I might consider thanking them personally with a tip. Examples: - Find some rare or very special photo...

Mainland is all about the caves (well, about 80% caves) and are way more awesome than crowded, American overflow, cozumel :p Service costs should be quite cheap or learn how to service yourself, quite easy if your handy. Depending on how comfortable you are I would suggest a refresher with a...

Don't... I would check the liveaboard terms and check that everything is included as it should.. At that kind of price point it had better be all inclusive with bells and whistles, 12k..we could probably go on at least 5 liveaboard for that, must be awesome or like a few weeks I hope? Anyway, if...

I always use my liner under dry suit seal and gloves flat over, never an issue. The seals are still tight enough so if a glove would leak it would still only leak very slowly through the liner,time to abort and surface

Aha, like like you were right. Interesting, never seen one like that before. Well, either way, yes, it will seal via the oring. Thanks for posting that link :)

uhm, not normal according to the few inserts I have lying around. did a quick google and all the pics I found show a smooth round.. that looks like someone tried to use a flathead for removing the oring instead of a pick..

lol, I guess you don't enjoy taking shots then ? :P I know my wife would get in trouble (probably on purpose) if we started with that haha. Back to topic, I love travelling and as my wife is cabin crew we travel a lot on days of. I try to avoid talking about my job, when I'm on vacation I want...

Go with the teclines, they are great gear and I like my second stages way more than any SP ive tried, especially as you can easily learn how to self-service (tecline service course), much better value and easy to get parts.

Oh, and for the prices, this is cheap here in Sweden

Just to put into perspective : I help out my buddy who owns a rib, we do dive trips here in southern Sweden, mostly day trips (2 or maybe 3 dives if it includes one seal dive) but this summer we managed to lease the island of the state where we usually stop over. Now we have reopened the hostel...

contact Oli from Recreational Courses or the guys at Maltaqua .:.RAID Open Water Diver great guys, great shop, great training

I ditched console asap. Clean simple spg now and two computers, backup one set to gauge mode

original miflex for everything.. I know they are coming out with a coated miflex soon (saw the prototype a few weeks ago) which is the miflex coated in a thin see through resin. A touch stiffer than standard miflex but no rubbing etc. Felt really nice

Spare dry suit seals, orings for all kinds of stuff (valves, connectors etc), always have a repair kit for 1/2 stages(all use same kits), IP gauge, tools to take apart all the gear, aquasure and cotol.. Part time guide /dm so I get to be prepared for anything..
