    I'm a cave diver; but is this gauge in bar or PSI?

    I think that all of the issues cited in your post should have been dealt with in a pre-dive briefing. Where I dive, most DM's check the customers gear and do a pre-dive briefing... Naming and shaming a customer is an exceptionally bad idea, unless it is for some crime that is related to your...

    If you are going to Malapascua, I think you would be happy with several of the dive ops there. However, Evolution seems to be the most highly praised.... Matt Reed (he is on the board) can offer you more info. For a dive Safari Dive Safaris Cebu Philippines Cheers, Roger

    Geezer wrist computer?

    Dont let the technology challenge stop you from widening your choices... I have found that given a couple of days of messing with a computer (using the manual) just about any one can figure any two button computer. I have a few PUCKS but am not really satisfied with them(they seemed to break...

    More experience = Less weight

    I also believe that new divers continue to shed weight/lead because often times they did not really achieve N/Bouyancy during OW. I recommend dedicating an entire dive or two to messing around with proper weighting... It makes the rest of your dives so much more enjoyable... During my OW...

    Dangerous psychology- Diving beyond one's training

    These type of discussions are tiresome and unproductive. Most of the "Pro training only arguments" might be a bit more compelling if they were not being started by or defended by instructors with a vested interest in providing formal training . Cheers, Roger

    A few pictures from yesterdays dives in Moalboal.

    Thanks, that was really the best angle I could get the picture at on this dive.. The whip was extremly long and curled and there was a nice current at the time... Cheers, Roger

    non-diver to DM? is it worth the money?

    Chet, I would keep my job in the Comp HW field while I earned my Open Water and Advanced Open Water. Then if you still thought about switching careers, I would canvas others in the field to determine if you could really make a living wage as a DM or Instructor in the location you considering...

    Equipment hire prices

    Altissimus, Unfortunately, you must not have checked on rental prices before you picked your Dive Company.. It is really important when doing to comparison pricing for dive companies that everything is considered before making your choice(I am not trying to rub salt in the wound :) )...

    I was trying my Sea Life Point and Shoot without the strobe. These are the best quality photos that I have gotten from the camera. I should have taken the strobe off a long time ago... :( Cheers, Roger

    Wetsuit washing

    I soak my wetsuits in Sun warmed water for 5 to 10 minutes after each dive, if I sense the presence of urine I add a small amount of dish soap to the offending area and work it in and then let that soak for an additional 30 mins... I then make sure all soap is gone before hanging.. Cheers, Roger

    3 weeks in Philippines - Visayas initiary?

    I dont dive Malapascua very often, but I have to say that if you go to Malapascua and dont see the Threshers you are in a tiny tiny Minority. So if that was on your wish list I would do Malapascua. I was on APO in July I have been there many times and really enjoy the diving there I always...
