Puerto Galera/Sabang Not sure if you already decided where to go to, but if you have problems with your knee, I don't think I can recommend Asia Divers in Puerto Galera. Unlike the other shops they have a dive platform that they tie their boats to, so the boat quite often rocks left to right...

Can't wait, one more day and I'm on my way :D

I booked everything and will arrive on the 28th, some time at night. Not sure yet if I will be diving on the 29th already, but if I'm not too tired from the flights, there is a good chance I will :D

Hi, I think I'll be heading to Puerto Galera around Dec 29th till Jan 8th to dive with Asia Divers and just wanted to see if anyone else from this board would be there in said time frame. I planned to go diving with a friend and in a long selection process, considering costs and effort and...

There should be a couple of spots where you can dive, both lakes and rivers. I know of two shops that are a bit more than an hour from Basel, but just using google I found some that are more like 20 minutes away. While I am interested in trying out drift diving in rivers, I am not so much into...

That would be equally interesting to me, except it's significantly further away from where I live. And it looks like I'm not going to try out indoor diving this year anyways.

Found some yet? Here is a German shop: TECTAUCHSHOP - DEEP40.DE - Edelstahlschraube mit Delrin-Mutter Though if you buy just this one screw, shipping will be more expensive than the part itself... If you find other stuff at Dive Gear Express you'd want though, let me know, I might be tempted...

Achaeus japonicus (Orang-utan crab)

Well, it has something to do with insurances as well. They might refuse to pay if something caused the problem that should have been tested but wasn't. But some also argue that it should be in your own interest that you are fit to dive, because it's your health and your life. There is a standard...

Yeah, the medical waiver. I'm actually "working" on mine, as I just moved back to Germany. Have an appointment for cardiogram in two weeks. And no, I don't live close, rather far away, but there aren't that many options. Still, I'd be more interested in dive4life than MM I guess, and as they...

I heard that these days the Aquarium is not involved in this anymore, and that they are basically starving them to death to save costs and just put new ones in when one dies. Also, last thing I heard from a diver who did the dive was that you are not allowed to bring a camera to the whale...

As I was living near a domestic airport in Japan, it was much cheaper for me to fly to Okinawa than anywhere else. Plus it was a short, direct flight (1.5 hours). Cost for hotel was also not that bad, I paid between 3500 and 4500 yen in high season per night for a single room with private...
