Two year old Bauer Jr II Compressor for sale. In very good condition Purchased at White Tip in Cebu 5.5 HP Gasoline Engine Great for personal use in remote locations or small expeditions. Will ship to all points in the Philippines. IF interested please contact me at Rogerdives at G M A I L...

I would probablly take the PSI course. In addition to my other dive businesses I have a small Hydro/VIP Business and I have very few tanks fail hydro, most fail the VIP. If you do decide to DIY then just ensure you have all the appropriate tools required. Pay close attention to the threads...

As usual, thanks for your input. IT means a lot. ---------- Post added December 20th, 2012 at 04:41 AM ----------

I would suspect a valve that was cracked open a little. This can happen during the transport from the fill station to the boat. If the dive op was the only ones handling the tanks, a partial refund/credit was probablly in order. Cheers, Roger

Nice post unfortunately the numbers quoted are probablly not accurate. Let me share a link which is probablly more accurate with regard to fish species. Index of /Country Cheers, Roger

I normally spread my Vertical CESA over Dives 2-4. This helps control the number of ascents my students and I make. I have experienced problems doing multiple CESAs during dives. My problems are with my ears, sometimes it is very difficult to continue to clear if I keep bouncing up and down...

I think you will be able to find a decent instructor for your son at any of the locations you mentioned. In my opinion I think Coron may not be the best place for your son as it is mostly wreck oriented and he may not be able to enjoy them after his certification. If you would like to stay...

I would also pass on day 6 dives. I am sure that I would be very paranoid during the flight back and would have all kinds of real or imaginary symptoms. Do some interesting terrestrial activity or go for some snorkeling/free diving. Enjoy your time in Palau.. Cheers, Roger

Great sage input from someone with fewer than one hundred dives.

IMHO a skin is great for protection from Jelly Fish and additional protection from the sun. I wear one often while snorkeling and sometimes while diving. Since I dont need any thermal protection here in the tropics, my normal wetsuit is a 1mm neoprene wetsuit. If there are alot of Jelly Fish...

I used SCUBA Pro for many years, I have moved on to some other brands now. The only SCUBA PRo I now use are fiins... Hope you enjoy your time in the Philippines.

That is a pretty ambitious dive plan I would really plan for 3 dives a day. Nitrox is not really necesrary considering your depth and the NDL for those dives. I think that you should also consider doing a couple of shore dives.... I wish you the best of luck and hope you enjoy your dives...

Congratulations on your first shark sighting, I hope you have many more.... My first was many years ago, When on Guam I used to often come nose to nose with some Reef Sharks while exploring difficult to get to portions of the reef. Now living in the Philippines most of them have been caught...

I see a different group of divers weekly. I just dont see this huge drop in diver competency that everyone is always bringing up. The vast majority of divers who I cater to have adequate skills to make the type of dives we are doing. These dives include Deep, Night and drift mostly on a...

We traveled extensively through-out the tropics with our Daughter through out her childhood. It really depends how easy going the kid is and how patient you parents are. I have been to Puerto Rico many times(on business) and would not hesitate to take a child there. The following link...

Great Pics!!! ALways love the Mandarins :) Cheers, Roger

What I really meant was if there were any other brands you might be interested in. We have 3 other Major distributors here in the Philippines including Asia Divers, White Tip/Aqua Ventures and SCUBA World who rumor has it is on the way out of business. We also have Aqua Mondo who has locally...

I often use Divers Supply, and they are easy to deal with. If you have been availing of free SCUBA Lessons from a shop, they deserve some loyalty, at a minimum you should ask them to put together the best package possible for the same $$$$$'s. There is nothing wrong with the package you have...
