I have a Seaquest Balance for singles and a bp/wing for doubles. I love them both. The Balance packs well for travel and is very, very comfortable. I'd happily recommend it if you are looking for a back-inflate bc. Regards, Phil

Great trip report! I really enjoyed the photos, as well. Man, I am soooo jealous! My club went to Marsa Shagra last month but I remained homa because of work. All I heard from them was, "Elpinstone this and Oceanic Whitetips that". Annoying as hell! I'm glad you had a good trip! Phil

I like mine, as well. Had it about 1 1/2 years. I haven't heard of any problems with the Archimede. Phil

Hi Daredevil, The place you are talking about is Vinkeveense Plas. At least it's the only one I can think of with a bus. The mannikin is gone, but there's a toilet on top of the bus now with a dish full of coins for the cleaning lady. :) There's also a very large snoek living in the bus...

I believe that in European Union countries, there are no warranty restrictions on internet sales. It is considered restraint of trade. Phil

I wish they made a VR-2.5 with 4 gas nitrox/trimix. But for the moment, I'll buy an Apeks Quantum, which is the same as the Nitek Duo, and use it in guage mode later on. Phil

I envy you! Have a wonderful time and tell us about it when you return. All the best! Phil

I think I'll sign up for that course! Oh, and bartender, I'll have the same thing as sleepyhead is having!

Are you sure!?!?! Seems I read that I would be taught that specifically! I'm gonna ask for a refund, as soon as i pay for the class! :06: As it happens, my instructor is also an IANTD instructor. He suggested the DSAT course rather than IANTD because he considers it more comprehensive...

I read an article in a Dutch dive magazine a year or two ago that said that the diving in Sal was among the best in the Cabo Verde islands. Sorry I don't remember anything more specific. Pity you can't join him! Phil

As I understand it, the deep speciality is a pre-requisite, along with rescue, for the DSAT Tech Deep course. I'll be starting the deep specialty on Monday with an instructor who takes his teaching very seriously, so I expect to gain knowledge along with the card. If I wasn't planning on...

I bought a Cressi Archimede due to it's easy to read display. All of the Seiko computers, whether marketed as Cressi, Dive Rite, TUSA or Apeks share the large numbers. Phil

Excellent points! By the way, don't get me wrong...I am not in any way defending crime or terrorism in any sense. Nor will I intentionally insult anyone's beliefs, unless they infringe on my own. I also won't force my own beliefs on anyone else. As to the punishment fitting the crime, I...

They sincerely believe they are obeying the teachings of their religious book, just as did the catholics during the inquisitions. Plural on purpose. Both are wrong in these acts, and both needed and need to be stopped by the rest of the world. My friend, I agree with you. Personally I find...

Thanks for your response, Gehadoski. Only the ignorant believe that Islam encourages atrocities such as these. I am not Muslim, but I don't like to see any religion, race, nationality or political affiliation branded indiscriminately because of the actions of a few crazies. I spent a...

I'll agree with Gary...don't encourage your girlfriend too much. Could turn her off the idea completely. Mania has some great suggestions of you read her posts. I will put a plug in for Camel Dive Club...nice, but not overly luxurious hotel, great bar and a very good dive operation all...

If you can't find the Nitek Duo, you might be able to find the Apeks Quantum. Exactly the same computer. Not sure about the TUSA. Hope this helps, Phil

Hi Fonz, I use the Cressi computer because of it's large numbers and easy to read display. I find it very user friendly and would definitely recommend it. A few days ago I went diving with a friend who uses the Aladin. He has two of them, so just for fun, I wore his extra along side my...

and the incredible sea life! They'll all want to come dive here and take our parking places! Phil

There should be a fair amount of information on www.divernet.com It's the website for a good UK magazine. Hope this helps! Phil
