Ah think I may have seen this posting a little late Mama Mynet, but it sounds like you have found your match. I was going to sing the praises of the Seaquest Diva, which I have been using for the last couple of years. Being around the same height as you, and pretty small too, this is the only...

hmmm looks astounding… come to think of it, I have a cousin living in Baja… wonder if she wants a visit from her long lost family member!

Doh… :profile: looks like I got hooked then… and reeled me in… doh again :)

ok I know I should probably know this, and in hindsight it is going to be really obvious… what is a TROLL? I can guess what you mean, but what does it stand for???

Wow… thank God you survived. I have heard many tales of divers underwater having this kind of experience. If any of you incredible survivors are interested in other stories and fellow divers who survived the tsunami, there is a site that has been set up by a group of dive professionals who...

phew bit frenzied this one! I would say that maybe judgement would be the term of the day… if you are about to die… do whatever you can to survive, however if you are just trying to stay in one place for a minute whilst your buddy is distracted, or to get that perfect photo, use your...

Ok… at the risk of being the devil's advocate here, you are asking for exclusive rights to someone's artwork and offering to accept only the cheapest quote… Is that not exploiting unknown artists who want to get their work out and about? Whilst I understand that you do not want to see your...

Ok I guess I am repeating a few comments that have already been placed here, but to add my bit too… I did my rescue diver course exactly a year ago (I was 37 at the time), am just over 5ft tall and weigh less than 100lbs. I was worried about exactly the same issues as you, thinking there was...

Just so you know, PADI have created a page where you can find out the latest updates on your SE Asia travel plans: http://www.padi.com/english/ap/news/011305-Tsunami_Update/default.asp You can type in our destination, and they will give you information on how things are over there. I know...

hmm the stress of travelling with your Kit. I can't believe those airlines charging extra just for the contents of our bags… as someone else said, surely the issue is that it is not anything illegal. For the record, anyone going from London (uk) to Sharm el Sheikh Monarch airlines add an...

Grief… that made it all so real. I can't imagine how you feel, I feel traumatised just having read your post. I have watched in horror, many of the programmes about the tsunami, however it is when I see and hear accounts like yours, when I really see just how devastating this was. To be...

Hmm difficult one, I found being a touch on the tiny side, the Diva LX suits me fine. And in fact, the weights sit perfectly. It may be a little late in the day, but have you tried the Scubapro Glide star? For me it felt waaaay too long in the body, but maybe for you being that bit taller, it...

ohh I too have read "the last dive"… brilliant book. Maybe wasn't the best timing tho, as my boyfriend at the time was off in Mexico learning to cave dive!!!! As for your tale from Sharm, great story. I'm sorry to hear about your less than good experiences, and hope the good ones made up for...

Now I don't know if this is idle gossip or for real, but if any of you guys know about this I would love to hear more. Someone had told me the other day that several divers had been surrounded by a group of not so friendly sharks, however a bunch of dolphins had kept them protected allowing...

Depending on where you are going and for how long: Short or long term, an ipod is a must, being able to store days' worth of music in one tiny box the size of a cigarette pack is a godsend, and like others have mentioned, very handy if you feel the need to zone out of your surroundings...

Wow! I am going to add another voice to the set of suprised ones here. It sounds as though you have gone over the results of the events that occurred enough already, so I won't go over you and your buddie's decisions. I am surprised that the instructor put such task loading on you at such an...

What course were you doing when you did the flash? Was it a panicked diver scenario? Or peak performance buyancy and you flashed your own personal buoyancy aids? Now onto the issue of shrinkage and things looking bigger underwater, guess both effects would balance each other out when it came...

We like you Maxbottomtime! When are you next going diving? ;) Seriously tho, women just shouldn't be in the water, they get all girly and gooey eyed at the fishes and are just far too much fun for you serious techie wreckie boys.:D Only kidding, it would be very boring if diving were...

Hi there scubababamatxn n co! Have you thought of volunteering for a conservation project and actually getting involved yourself. That is one of the most fantastic donations you can give… rewarding on both sides too. There are several organisations, Coral Cay mentioned above, being one of...

Hi there, I have advertised this service before, but think I did it under the wrong section, so here goes again. I have a site where you can personalise your Tee shirts, mouse mats, mugs even knickers, slabs of chocolate and Rubiks cubes, just to name a few of our goodies. You can...
