I'm confused. Booking a dive trip is anything but complicated. You want to know where good to dive and who with? Post a quick question here and you'll get more responses than you're looking for. Ready to book the trip? Simple as a phone call or a few clicks on the web. There are numerous...

I believe they are manufactured by light-for-me but they are sold by tecdivegear.com

I got exactly what you are mentioning from XSories - Accessories for an Xtreme life They have 2 length options and I believe the longer one collapses to 8-9 inches. They are super light weight and each extendable section is capable of locking independently of the others. The only suggestion I...

I'm with g1138. I find it pretty disturbing that instead of trying to educate people about sharks, they are cashing in on the sensationalized news image of sharks and helping to further their decline. If the whole experience is to help educate the public why promote it with an...

Your DiveAlert may or may not fit on the side by the lever because of the size. If you can get it on you would definitely have to lay on your side in order to use the whistle function of the DiveAlert on the surface and have the boat hear it. The other alternative is the small inflator hose on...

Looking through their website there are only 2 things that really caught my eye. The first is that you have to wait 5-10 minutes for the sensor to color change. Okay if you're diving on your own and set your own time schedule, not so much if you're using an outfit that is trying to get trips...

+1 for Light & Motion. Love my Sola 600

Sanur is where most Ops launch from to dive Nusa Penida. There may be a few from further north near Padang Bai but time/distance to Nusa Penida would be increased a bit. Penida is where you'll find Manta Point (for mantas obviously) as well as Crystal Bay (known for Molas) and a load of fun...

I just spent 6 months diving in Bali and had the opportunity to dive most sites there multiple times. With the time frame you have mentioned this is what I would suggest: Arrange transport to Tulamben for the evening you arrive, it's about a 2.5 hr journey from the airport. If you have the...

+1 for Sean @ Reef Pirates. I didn't see him advertised but I did my OW cert with him a couple years back and had a blast. Still need to go back and thank him because had things gone differently, I may not have pursued becoming an Instructor.

About 9 months ago I found myself in a dream. A dream that involved selling most of my worldly possessions, moving to a tropical destination and finishing my journey to become a SCUBA Instructor. It was a wonderful dream that was loaded with vastly improved diving skills and borderline sensory...

Another +1 for the Light & Motion Solas. I picked up a 600 last year and it works amazingly well. I actually find myself only using the lowest settings unless vis has been reduced.

@ Parzdiver: You would be better off holding it in your hand than using the head mount. They just aren't very secure when moving against the water and every time you exhale your exhaust will come into the frame for a second or two.

Another +1 for the sea bands. Pretty simple idea; A small plastic bead sits on an acupressure point that controls nausea and dizziness. I was feeding the fish on my first open water dive and bought them right after for the rest of that certification and they worked great. I just got back...

TMHeimer is correct; If you are going to do continuing education through PADI you do not have to be AOW certified to take the Rescue Diver course. The only prerequisites for doing Rescue Diver are that you are at least 12 years of age, have completed the Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive and...

My mistake. I was merely relaying information passed through the dive community. This is the first official report of any kind that I've even seen since the incident.

It's actually been over the course of a month but still makes those of us in the dive community out here a bit nervous about the lack of respect some have for the sea and the professionals that brief these sites. From what I know it has been 2 divers and one snorkeler. 1st diver was found...

I've had mine for a little over 3 months and have logged over 100 dives in it. As long as you get the correct size it works great. If I had to mention any issues I've had with it they would be that it only has 1 roll-up pocket and since I'm an instructor it would be nice to have another...

As mentioned, if you get away from Kuta/Denpasar you can avoid most of the frenzy. I have been in Sanur, Bali for a little over 3 months (DM & Instructor program) and have 3 months left in my stay (for MSDT) and have enjoyed every minute of it. The DM program I did was 2 months long and...

The scenario: I'm currently doing a Go Pro internship and have just recently gotten my Rescue Diver cert. (No, I have not updated my profile yet so please leave that out of the discussion here) Yesterday myself and 5 other DMT's went out for a couple of dives and this is what took place. The...
