    How Much to Tip on a Liveaboard

    It really depends if you're American or not. If so you're expected to tip heavily (15%+), simply because all of the other American tourists who've preceded you have done so. If you're European or an Aussie then expectations are more modest - 10% at the most is fine.

    Looking for New BC in XXL

    Scubapro Knight Hawk comes in size XXL which might meet your needs. I have a Knight Hawk and it's an excellent back inflate BC (note I'm NOT trying to sell it to you!). You can get them on Leisurepro for $450.

    Wing vs. Jacket

    The primary disadvantage of a BP/W set up is that it will give you the misplaced illusion you are a better, more skilful diver than you really are. Plus it may also create delusions of increased attractiveness to the opposite sex together with a firm yet utterly misplaced sense of entitlement...

    New Kit Advice?

    Not sure about the Halcyon, but you should be able to get the rest of this stuff online from Leisure Pro for less than retail. Just be aware that you'll have to pay import duties into Australia if the total value of your shipment is greater than $1000 AUD. Aussie customs will also look out for...

    Divemaster & Instructor Qualifications: Your Opinion

    OK, distinction between certified and non-certified cave divers dying noted. My original point still stands however - the diving environment and the fitness of the individual are the two key risk factors when assessing the likelihood something bad will whilst diving. The number of dives the...

    Divemaster & Instructor Qualifications: Your Opinion

    Can someone, ANYONE present any actual evidence that there is something inherently unsound about being taught to dive by someone with only 150 or so dives? So many people on this board have complete delusions of grandeur about what they do, here's a little secret I'll let you in on - 90% of...

    New Gear!!! Woohoo!

    I have some bad news for you: By choosing to dive in a horrid, evil 'poodle jacket' you have almost certainly signed your own death warrant. It's simply not possible to dive safely or efficiently in one. And if by some miracle of fate you survive diving without a back-inflate or BPW you will...

    Hollis F1 Fin Sizing HELP!

    First of all great choice - I love my Hollis F1 fins. Secondly by way of comparison I have US size 14 feet and dive with a 3mm Henderson boot (i.e. not a rock boot) and find the XXL fins just a little bit too big, but not enough to detract from the experience of using them. If I bought a...

    BCD- Jacket/vest style vs back inflation

    The primary complaints people have about back-inflate BCs is that they press them face forward whilst on the surface and make it slightly more difficult to ascend and descend in the vertical position. Both are valid criticisms up to a point, but are also somewhat misleading. On your OW and AOW...

    OW to Instructor in 23 days

    In my experience having undertaken approx. 8 different dive courses there has been zero - and I mean ZERO relationship between the training background of the instructor and the quality of the instruction delivered. My OW instructor was the product of a zero to hero program in Thailand with...

    Going for DM

    I say ignore the doubters and the naysayers and just do it. I'm a current DMC and have approx 70 dives, which I know in the eyes of many SB posters makes my opinions worth roughly the same as a squashed cockroach you might scrape from the sole of your sneakers. But the fact is these people...

    Using Compass on Cobra 3 in Water

    Noticed exactly the same thing with mine - the computer does behave differently when setting compass bearings in and out of the water - I haven't found a way around this. Long press to bring up the compass, short press to set the bearing and YES you do get the bookmark stored message at this...

    Scubapro Seahawk

    I think the reason you can't find the Seahawk on LP is because it's a relatively new product and they probably haven't got their hands on a bulk shipment yet. For example if you go onto the Scubapro website and change regions to say Asia-Pac or Australia you'll find they aren't even advertising...

    Scubapro Seahawk

    LeisurePro are able to sell products for less than your local dive shop for a couple of basic reasons: 1) They access the 'grey' market which in practice means they buy stuff in bulk from places the manufacturers sell it relatively cheaply (e.g. SEAsia) and ship it to places where the market...
