    Weight limits extortion. Bali to Bima

    Well, I finally managed to come with just the 15kg weight limit. So they changed it to 10kg at the airport counter. No police, no representatives from the company other than the hostesses, no way to reclaim. You either pay or they keep your luggage and that's it. I'll have to ask why would the...

    Venting to get some sleep

    Was in a dysfunctional family in my teen years. Got out of that, made my own family and at twice the age I'm so very happy. Time will give you the choices and maybe even the wisdom to pick the right ones.

    Peeing in a geoprene wetsuit?

    So, in conclusion, the only sensible solution to geoprene suits being too impermeable is to dive with a personal salt water desalinator so you can drink directly from the sea, keep your hydration level over 100% and end every dive as a gigantic geoprene pee balloon. :fruit:

    Weather around Bima/Komodo

    Someone who knows the zone, what should I expect as weather on a liveaboard Bima->Komodo->Bima starting in about 10 days? 3m waves that will crush the boat into the reefs like that tourist boat?

    Tank fell off and lost dive buddy

    I bought a second tank band just in case, but my question is: why 30~40º angle and not simply horizontal? During the entire dive the tank should be resting on your back.

    Aqualung Wave question [possibility to attach a 2" crotch strap]

    Does the Aqualung Wave have somewhere to attach a 2 inch crotch strap? (something like a plastic backplate with the usual slots like a wing's, like some other jackets have)

    Floating legs

    No body part other than lungs floats by itself unless some days after death. Therefore, the problem is either in equipment (floaty fins?) but I'd be surprised; or in instinctive movements. i.e.: your legs don't bend, you bend your legs instinctively to generate a rotation to separate your face...

    Go Pro Black +3 Waterproof Case vs failing Intova Sports

    IIRC the default gopro casing can go way deeper than 40m. The only problem it has is that eventually the pressure keeps the buttons pushed, which makes it stay in the state it was. This isn't a problem if you record the entire dive, only if you want to start and stop recording. However, at 100m...

    Minor accessories I found useful for liveaboard

    Why would you touch fire corals? Why would you touch anything during a dive?

    Komodo Trip Report - (July 2014 with Indo Siren)

    I don't have a 3mm full. Only a 3mm shortie and a 5/6 two piece. I guess the best option is to bring the two piece and ask the Indo Siren if they'll have a shortie for the warmer dives.

    External storage options, GoPro to iPad

    A week ago I tried to find a solution to avoid carrying a laptop to Komodo. My initial idea was to find an HD into which my tablet could write (the tablet has a microSD slot, so I could just put in the card from the GoPro and transfer everything to the HD). However, after some investigating and...

    What is the problem with doing a Scuba Review/Refresher?

    I'm sorry but I can't see how that that can work. So you're saying that people are given the choice between lying about their experience or paying $250.00? I can't imagine how that results in anything but amazing danger.

    What is the problem with doing a Scuba Review/Refresher?

    I've always seen that as part of the first of a new series of dives. It all depends on cost both in money and time. I've always fount it very reasonable to do a simpler first dive, as long as it's an enjoyable dive. I wouldn't accept a forced refresher course even if it was free and I most...
