    Question about air integrated computers and transmitters

    Gauge is vital - What if your computer loses the transmitter signal and cannot reconnect with it ? Technology is good but you better have a backup( a gauge ) - never solely rely on something that is important, I always have a SPG but not a depth gauge(it is on my computer and i would buy a...

    Best places to do an instructor internship

    Umm, you remind me to revise my side-mount knowledge by diving more with the setup- it is always good to keep my claw sharp! What can i say about Koh Tao, it is an absolute honey pot for divers and those who wish to learn to dive, also those who want to party given that they come in the right...

    Best places to do an instructor internship

    ^^Agree^^ Because it is best to train with familiar environment and respective equipment, ie: you will not do your IDC in dry-suit in SEA and some crucial techniques that you will learn in warm-water during your IDC might be obsolete back in Canada and vice versa. On the other hand, you might...

    How to tell the DM you're not a disaster underwater?

    Show DM some proves such as dive logs (the least you can do) and your certifications, that why each agency have certification cards to show that you are competent to do X(that is true untill you forget it and need to go through a "refresher course"). I also always stick with a dive company/set...

    Ordering Apeks XL4+ from overseas?

    XL4 is avaliable for both DIN and Yoke -sauce: XL4 Buy Din + Din/yoke converter. If you buy a yoke first stage, you cannot convert it to din. Cheer!

    Ordering Apeks XL4+ from overseas?

    D5 vs i450T

    On my perspective, i would not buy i450T nor D5 - because they are not worth the price tag. The price range that you are looking at is almost close to 1000 USD which can get you a really good second hand dive computer or even a first hand - Shearwater Research | Rugged Dive Computers for...
