    Palau made difficult. any suggestions

    Living in Japan, my first idea was BNE-NRT on QA, then NRT-GUM-ROR on CO. I don't have the flight schedules, but how about BNE-TPE-ROR all on CI? Flight time should be shorter, and prices affordable compared to the NRT route. Hope this helps, Kaza

    New Wreck in Okinawa

    Wow. This is interesting. Will the dives be strictly technical, or will you be taking recreational dives too? The depth seems shallow enough for recreational non-penetration dives, but you won't want to bring anyone uncomfortable at depth, hence my question.

    METHOX - New technology or just wasted gas...

    Um, I'd like to know the local fill station for this state of the art gas. NWGratefulDiver seems to have this as bailout :D

    Singapore Airport Question

    With only 9hrs, staying in the Transit hotel in the transit area might be a good choice. It's cheap, spacious and sold in 6hr blocks, with hourly extensions available up to 3hrs. Don't forget to make a reservation, because rooms are limited. Reservations can be made through the internet. Look up...

    What is the best Olympus Camera and housing for it?

    I second what Gary said. Then, if the op is a novice looking for a simple point & shoot, I'd suggest the Tough 8010+PT048. Since the cam itself is water proof (10m/33ft), it enjoys a better chance at survival in case of a leak. While I have never suffered any leaks in my Oly's (C990+PT009 and...

    U pay to give companies free advertising?

    Ah. Well, I wanted to know whether the OP's definition was confined to scuba gear brands, or brands in general. I do side with Dennis that I won't have the dealership's advertisement on my car. Then, all my cars have their manufacturer's names and badges on them, and while they might be a form...

    U pay to give companies free advertising?

    One question, out of curiosity. Does your definition of "branded t-shirt" include those from Nike, Adidas, Puma, so forth? For that matter, how does Gucci go?

    Hi Andre, It just might be better if this post was made in the DiveRite's subforum. ScubaBoard > Manufacturers Forums > Q and A for Scuba Manufacturers > Dive Rite Kaza

    Analyzer: Nitrox vs. CO

    I voted CO detector. In all cases where I was able to rent nitrox tanks, the dive boat provided the O2 analyzer.

    Singapore Airport Question

    I've done NRT-SIN-HKT with first leg UA, 2nd leg MI, booked through two different travel agents(First leg in Tokyo, 2nd leg through a Singapore agent and had ticket mailed). I asked at the checkin counter at NRT whether I could check my luggage through. The person at the counter went away...

    Are you a flyer or a looker?

    I'm basically a flyer. Diving a drop off and looking down the seemingly endless wall leading into darkness, really thrills me. But then, when the divesite is shallow and bustling with life, I might be hovering in one spot taking photos of nudibranchs, shrimps and gobies. I guess it gets down...

    Maldives liveaboard

    Yup. Same as before. I've been told that the Hulhule Island Hotel is considered a "resort", and are licensed to sell alcoholic beverages. FYI, the Maldivian government pondered on issuing alcohol sales licenses to hotels with 100beds or more on inhabited islands, but their own ministry of...

    Did having kids make you take a diving break?

    My wife and I stopped diving for a couple of years, until we felt comfortable leaving our child with a baby sitter in a foreign hotel. This year, our kid took a bubble maker course, she loved it, and is already looking forward to going junior OW year after next. Like other posts, I see a buddy...
