I was just wondering if anyone with a Light Monkey 21w LED experiences any flickering of the light? I suspect I have a problem with the LED but I'm not sure. Any ideas? I'm doing a burn test at the moment but this flickering is annoying. My torch was bought in January and has been used a...

I just had a thought (it doesn't happen often). Imagine you're in a plane sat next to a world renowned diver. The plane is going to crash and you're dying to ask the diver one diving related question before your ascent to heaven or descent to hell. What would the question be? (diving...

I had a sea dive booked for yesterday and got the phone call on Friday night that the dive was cancelled due to bad weather. Although disappointed my buddy and I decided we'd go to our local inland dive puddle and do some skills practice. Well, I woke up today unexcited about today's dive...

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me the current water temperature in Marsa Alam? If I'm lucky I might be there next week and was wondering what exposure suit I should be wearing. I get cold relatively easy and would be looking to do 3 dives a day for 7 days or so. Would a drysuit be...

I saw this on a web site and wondered if it had been see here on Scubaboard? Apeks has issued a service bulletin related to ATX / XTX second stages. In short: It has come to their attention that the diaphragm cover may have been missed during the assembly of these 2nd stages. Checking of...

Well done to the Trinidad and Tobago football team - 30 million Englishmen are sighing in relief after England eventually won 2-0.

Following the O2 thread, I was just wondering what happens in North America when O2 is administered on a boat. Does the skipper call the coastguard to request further assistance?

I just came across this piece of advice in a different forum and thought I'd post it here coz I think it's one of the most beautiful pieces of advice I've ever heard. The context was in tech diving but it rings so true of myself right now as an OW water diver that I thought it might be...

What's actually involved in Cenotes diving? I'm an OW certed bloke and Cenotes are overhead environments (or am I wrong) - how can I try a Cenotes dive in (measured) safety and would I need to bring any specific equipment with me? I really want to know what's involved on these dives from a...

Can anyone recommend a PADI AOW instructor in the Cancun area who is available the last week of January 2005? TIA

I was just wondering what people think of an Aqualung Calypso? It would be for my dad and although cold water rated would only be used for tropical reef diving. Are they easy to have serviced? Are parts readily available? How do they breathe at 80 to 100 feet? Any hose routing issues...
