A dishwasher ?

Croatia water is generally colder than the average Adriatic sea, this is also because there are fresh water spring directly into the sea and they are very cold. So my advise is: if planning to dive a bit deep or long (1h or more) use a semi-dry or dry suit.

Why don't ask to the Marriot itself. I'm pretty sure they should offer such transfer service. Optionally, if you stay just one or two nights there because you booked a liveaboard, ask also to them, the transfer should be included in the liveaboard price. Regards and happy diving.

Nice work. Thank you for sharing.

Almost every suunto capable to compute deep stops have a configuration to disable them - except the Helo2 (If I remember well). So, keeping them off could be an option. For what concerns ascent speed - if you planned the dive, you have also a reference ascent speed - it's part of the planning -...

I voted "folded in the pocket" but it is not completely true: when I'm absolutely sure that I'll not need it, it will stay in the bag. Usually, diving with no current and no waves in easy places (recreational dives) I do not carry it with me. In every other dive it is in the pocket - never used...

really nice, thanks for sharing.

Ok, I understand your point, and probably I'm speaking based on my expectations and overall sensations collected while enjoying my stay there. For sake of clarity, I have no relation with anyone conducting business there and I have no interest in promoting resorts and whatsoever similar...

Last year I went also to Blue Bay Divers in Bangka - whose standards are far beyond the others - mostly because the owner, a German woman, who lives there, built a good organization. They also have a cruise wooden boat to do few days liveaboard. Check online. Just worth to mention: there are...

My son did it last week: 2-3 hours studying the material and the day after a couple hours in the classroom with the instructor and the questionnaire.

Here in Italy first hydro test is after 4 years, then every 2 years. I suppose that, even if abused or ill-treated, cylinders are less critical than valves...

Go definitely for a BP/W, you'll never regret the choice. hapy diving.

I'm also interested in having news and info about Oman diving advises. I'll keep watching this thread. Thanks to all contributors.

Don't worry about twisting, once two cam bands are tightened around a tank, is very difficult the latter can twist. A metallic STA usually allow a more stable link between the tank and the BP, unless very few exceptions (wings with robust ridges and tanks not too much heavy). So you can use any...

My opinion is that without the slots for the cam bands, will be very hard to do without the STA using your DRIS wing. I do not mean that this is impossible, you can just cut the slots using an hot iron. After this to stabilise the tank from rolling left-right, you can add this: OMS Soft Single...

Generally speaking handling the light using the goodman handle is a sort of clipping to yourself :) A bit of patience and a round file should fix this unconvenient issue - did I mention some elbow oil ?

You are right, but how long should the light be clipped ? I think just during task requiring both hands - e.g. during tanks rotation (in a multi stage dive) or during the DSMB deployment. Yes, I see that the light would be hanging, but it would also be less streamlined and, just in case of...

If it was a double ender instead of a boltsnap the light could be clipped to the right d-ring either facing downward or upward.

Head for Koh Tao, the East side of thailand is good on July.

Thank you @a13firman Once back I'd like to have some report about the diving. Thanks in advance and happy diving.
