This is a crazy bigotted UScentric or Anglocentric attitude. I might remind you that the best cars are most definitely not made in the US or the UK (I'm thinking Toyota, yes I know you're all thinking Ferrari, Mercedes etc.), the best computers similarly, most things in fact, lets all boycott...

It's just so simple, the one with the highest price, biggest marketing budget, and highest profile sponsorships. But you should know this already. Once you truly believe, no fact will will shake your belief.:D

Thanks, first honest report I've heard on the flight. I wanted to buy one, but have not had good experiences with small 2nd stages, seem to breath badly. Logically this makes sense, smaller diaphragm, shorter leaver, so there has to be a mechanical disadvantage. The local stockist won't let me...

...and Beuchat!:D

Mate that is not correct, DIN is a European standard, and has nothing to do with America. The previous poster was absolutely correct about the 5 vs 7 threads, designed to protect the Regulator. I have 300 bar din regs and they fit the 200 bar tank valve just fine, 2 threads exposed which you...

Go talk to Dive Imports in Scarborough Beach Road, Mount Hawthorne. They have all the tanks on display, manifolds etc. They will know the difference between FX and whatever, and have the best prices in Oz on tanks. There are tech, cave, gue instructors around that might have advice for you. Try...

I wonder if someone has an answer to this question, I'm sure there's a physicist on the board. Logically it seems to me that the higher the pressure in a cylinder the less volume you get per bar of pressure. We conveniently describe the relationship of volume and pressure as linear, but it...

Thanks, I thought I would let others comment on the obvious deficiencies of that scenario. My fundamental problem is how it is possible to have buoyancy under control at 18 meters and then suddenly be incapable of doing the same at 23 meters? Yep, it took me quite a while to work out that...

Watch out this thread will be locked after He has had His say. Peace be with you, my son.

no worries

Wow, what a class!! Seems to me that the village idiot knows that his life depends on having air underwater. Common sense dictates that you watch your pressure gauge regularly during the dive, seems like they weren't taught to do so??:D. Did they really need to be taught this? There are...

This is a storm in a tea cup. I'm sure you loved the dives. The "advanced" course, includes one dive to 30 meters and some exercises to demonstrate decreased cognitive ability. You have essentially done that sans the exercises. In fact you are now more qualified to go to 30 meters than someone...

Pleased you enjoyed it.

No comprehendo! Is this a Beuchat VX200 1st stage?

This is terrible, Oztek will be subdued this year, condolences to all. I'm not sure from the press reports... were there other people/divers around at the time? I feel quite strongly that there is something to learn in every mishap, and hope we get to learn what happened and how it might be...

The only big difficulty is dropping the weight belt! How are you supposed to do this with a crotch strap?

Ditto

There are basically 2 areas to dive in perth Marmion marine park, just off the Northern Beaches, and Rottnest Island 20km West of Perth. All operators dive in these areas. Here is a list of Websites that you can check and decide which dives to do. There doesn't seem to be much on Friday, but...
