    50 diving centers close in South Sinai

    It was only a matter of time. It's speaking volumes that after months, no preliminary on the crash has been released--the authorities MUST know by now what the cause was, they just don't want to acknowledge it. It would further kill the tourist industry in Egypt. When Russia, Great Britain...

    Article: Is the Dive Watch Dead?

    Looks like the article didn't make to the new Scubaboard format. You can still see it at the following: IS THE DIVE WATCH DEAD?

    How do you travel with your DSLR(s)?

    I have long advocated that, where possible, spend the money to ship the gear to yourself (or a trusted recipient) at the destination. Fully insured, no TSA and the like, plus have never suffered a loss of any kind in transit. Even have been able to follow my stuff through the system with the...

    DSD Fatality in Thailand | Feb 2016

    Second that. You may not be able to think of everything that could theoretically happen, but you can have enough arrows in your quiver to be able to successfully improvise when it's called for.

    $3,400 in employee gear stolen - Grand Cayman

    “I’ve been here nine years and never had anything stolen,” Mr. Barnes said. “Cayman is changing.” That one statement concerns me, or at least gives me pause. GC for years has been stable and safe, yet now we are hearing of incidents.

    Diving a Wreck-Are You Game For It?

    Dropping below the surface and descending along a line, your destination slowly comes into view. The outline of a hulk, a vessel that ended up on the bottom due to weather, war, or misadventure. The surface life it had over, it now rests in the watery depths, waiting to provide you with...

    Dallas/Ft. Worth Area Diving

    Check with Clear Springs and see the next date that DUI comes out for their try out event--probably in November. They also will have a schedule of other events they can share with you. Scubatoys (among others) also trains out there year-round and may be of help.

    Hello from Fort Worth

    Can relate with you about local lakes, especially at this time of year when you wonder if you're going to get another ice storm or not. Mind telling us why it took so long to dive Coz and Roatan?

    Can an at-home swimming pool be used as a business?

    Since you posted this in Basic Scuba Discussions, my first question would be which agency are you certified as an instructor with? The second question would be: what do they say when you asked them this question?

    Dive instructor moving to Cairns area.

    You may have a problem, then. As I have understood it, 'working holiday' visas were primarily for accepting work in agricultural endeavors like fruit picking. Look at this to check my thinking. Even if you overcome that hurdle, you'll probably find it pretty hard, if not impossible, to find an...

    Ever Wanted to Be In An Octopus's Garden?

    "I want to be Under the sea In an octopus's garden, in the shade." So goes an old Beatles tune of my youth. But what if it were possible to do--garden underwater? For years growing up, we've been told that it was possible to farm the seas in similar fashion to the land. The only problem...

    Could a rebreather Helmet revolutionize diving?

    "It’s important to note that the rebreather helmet, while exciting, is only in the conceptual phase, meaning that the idea is described and a model has been made, but no prototype exist, and no tests have been done." This is because not only doesn't this thing exist, the design aspects make it...
