Nomad Divers is a family owned and operated small resort which can probably host a maximum of 8-10 visitors in a setting accessible by boat or a 1/2 hour walk through the jungle to Lihunu Village. Hilde and Marijn (Belgian and Dutch) host their visitors in a family like setting. They employ 6-8...

Contact Hilde at Nomad Divers, Bangka. Very reasonably priced.

Sounds like the SLC airport.

You can tell by the post count.

Talk to your daughter and see if she can be a little less demanding in her requests. The important thing is that the instructor should be thorough and good with kids. She can adapt to BP/W after she's certified. Not a big deal.

Thanks!

If you run into an airline employee who determines your carry on doesn't meet spec and needs to go in the hold, what will you do? Personally, I check all the things that will not be destroyed in the hold. Even regulators cushioned with rolled or folded clothing. Double check the luggage rules...

I'd definitely replace it. A kink like that will weaken the integrity of the hose. Looks like you will need to re-route it or replace it with a longer hose

I started out with a steel backplate and soon found a guy to trade for aluminum. My current backplate from VDH probably weighs about a pound and a half. The VDH plate, 23# HOG wing, and harness sans cambands weighs in at 5#. Carrying around the extra weight in my luggage didn't make sense to...

I would like to hear @buddhasummer -s take on this.

The Garmin Mk2 is not a bad computer. Reliable and Buhlmann equipped. I have a Mk1 I've used as backup for about 5 years. I'm not fond of the proprietary transmitter, but that's just me. The Garmin is a lot better than an old Suunto. If you are a recreational diver and want a full set of...

1. I use AI. I like AI. But having to use an SPG is not a big negative. I would not expect an operator to allow modifications of his rental equipment for both liability and possible damage. 2. I used to use a camera. But, honestly, I found it too distracting and found myself more involved in...

Regulator Savvy IS fine.

I would assume that if United will book the connection on their website they will take responsibility in getting you home, even if you miss the connection. If you booked with a third party and miss the connection, things will get complicated. At that point United will not help you and you will...

I know you can get away with it. I’ve seen many able bodied divers taking advantage. It’s just a personal thing.
