    Just received my Adv. Nitrox And Deco C Cards

    I'm very happy .. today my cards and certs arrived. Finally. It's been a while since I did the training and the open water dives and I have not really thought about the cards, and the training was more important. But they arrived today .. now I'll have to make room in my dive log for them .. two...

    Turtle Cavern, Sipadian, Indonesia

    I look forward to my trip there, but I was concerned that you and your buddies went that far into the caven to the point that it became a cave, when you don't have the required training. Always dive safe.

    New Techi

    I use the ATX200 as one of my 1st stages for twins and I thought the routing was quite ok, but if it was DIN then it would be cleaner. I closed most of the ports and had only 2 houses running from the same side, so it was quite ok. But having said that, if I was to purchase again I would look...

    Suunto Stinger vs mosquito

    I guess your right, I wasn't to fussed as I was using the Mosquito as my backup timer. All dives were using tables. I just thought that after the first few dives I would change it to normal dive mode as I was tired of it not understanding that I was deco diving and only wanted to know my depth...

    The Horror of Mask Removal

    When I was doing pool sessions for my Deco courses we did a drill to test bouancy skills, it involved taking off your mask under water and maintaining your position in the water. At first it's funny feeling the bubbles on your face, but after a while you become calmer and there is a peace...

    Suunto Stinger vs mosquito

    this a handy feature, but can chew the memory up quickly. I did 2 dives with the sample rate set to 2sec and when I want to review the dives it takes 10secs to load the dive and then forever to go thru the profile. After that I changed it to 60sec and now it's too fast on the profile to record...

    Suunto Stinger vs mosquito

    I dived with both a Stinger and a Mosquito in FREE/GUAGE modes, the Stinger no problem but the Mosquito was fine for the first 5mins or so then beeps at you - guess it thinks that you are holding your breathe! but it does still give a read out of depth and time and so can still be used as a...

    Turtle Cavern, Sipadian, Indonesia

    Sounds cool, our trip is now in January and am looking forward to it. Should be good. Will not be diving next month so I guess it's going to be almost 2 months out of water before then. But I'm sure it will be a great way to start the year.

    what sort of reel for a marker bouy?

    When I was doing my deco pool and OW dives I used a spool. It was different than what I was used to, so I had to get used to it, but the key is be clear on the order that you do things. Practise to ensure that you are not switching the gear from hand to hand. Take your time. One thing at a time...

    Name your best or favorite wreck dive

    My most recent wreck was the Seven Skies Ship in the South China Sea of Malaysia. It's quite big with the funnel starting around 22m the the bridge starts around 30m and goes to 36m then you go down the side and reach the bottom at around 60m. There are penetration options from the bridge...

    BCD's for women?

    My wife tried Scuba Pro because of the back inflate feature. She bought it and took it home. It just so happened that the next day pickup a long hose and she saw the TransPac II, and was amazed at the size, she asked if it was a kids size! No it was the travel wing that made it look so small...

    Is the water really cold? I would assue that it is cold, is it all dry suit diving or do people dive wet?

    Any Aussies out there?

    The way I look at it for the first 99 mins it was even then for only 1 min the English moved ahead. So the English were World Champions for 1 mins out of 100 mins! I knew we should have taken Jonny out early in the game.

    Rank Suunto Mosquito

    Found out this the hard way when I used a Mos as my backup timer, set my main Stinger to Gauge and the Mos to Free. The Stinger was cool, but the Mos started beeping at me and would display "Er". So think about what type of diving you may wish to do in the future? If you have no plans to go...

    dir regs

    Or find out what your local divers use and ask them why? Then it may be an idea to buy something like what they have if you intend to dive with them as they will know doubt have experienced many of the failures of equipment (if any) that they can warn you about. But that said either are...
