Nothing to do with that. As it is within the EU there is a european arrest warrant so if you are wanted in a country then they apply for a warrant and can get you arrested and extradited without too much court costs etc.

I have dived this site a few times before- you enter through an inland sea, basically a weakness in the rocks has opened a crack 10ish metres wide and as such a small bay has formed where the sea has entered. You swim through and hug the reef wall on your left. The slope goes down to about 40m...

I know the situation the op is discussing here.... I doubt it will happen much in the US based markets however in Europe this is quite common I believe. Someone (usually a DM or instructor) will have to walk around a pool for an afternoon or morning trying to entice people to have a go at scuba...

The Director of TDI has come out to question this court case.... In an open letter! Very interesting that he has stepped out to speak against PADI in this way!

Yes the faroud is a deffinate! Most of the wrecks in Malta are sunk on purpose to attract divers. The other two you probably would want to dive are the Rosie and p29! If you fancy doing the deep course out there then the imperial eagle is also on your list! some other sites of interest diving...

Unqualified instructor? Sure instructors vary in quality of their teaching but I feel unqualified is not a fair comment to make. Each person that has passed the IE through the PADI system and is a renewed member is allowed apart from insurance etc allowed to teach the PADI courses they are...

hope you realise a divemaster has to be done between rescue and OWSI. I dont know you personally but Malta is such a great island for diving. Id jump at the chance to do work there. Diving is great and so is the whole atmosphere of the country. I know alot of dive centres offer internships. My...

PADI standards especially on the ratios are the maximum ratios in which you can take students. I have never got anywhere close to the maximum ratios, teaching in the UK 2:1 is the most ive ever taken in. and usually 2:2 if possible! I have no idea on the exact situation here but leaving two...

Hi chris, How do i get the air time remaining then? And as the helo2 is a technical computer how is it ever in a non technical dive? Do I turn off all other mixes etc?

A BCD is better than a bpw due to familiarity alone. Interesting now though that some manufacturers are creating bc/wing hybrids. Look at the mares hybrid pro tech where it can literally become a wing. I think these will be the future of diving. I certianly love mine

Hi, On buying this computer I was under the impression when hooked up to my transmitter that there would be an air time remaining in minutes displayed on my computer. My dive buddy says he has this function on his but I am yet to find it on mine. Any ideas?

If one has deepstops on and one has deepstop off then the one with it on will have a 1min deep stop halfway to the surface... the one with deepstop off will have a safety stop. Quite simple really?

i was typing this out until i realised you had the same torch set up as me... I found it was great! Ive never had any trouble with mine? You could try one of the cree type torches available on ebay which are cheap.

As per the title really! OR what do other people use to make their videos!?

Hi, Im a technical newbie and not the best on a computer compared to some. I have an intova sport hd2 and dived with it for the first time at the weekend. Having cut the video I put it together using windows movie maker with no audio. On saving the video I noticed how large it was.... 100mb...

the torch has a good wide beam anyway. might invest in the zoom torch anyways to get the best beam :)

Awful way to die but as per british papers at the inquest the widow is now looking to sue the charter. This is the typical where there is an accident there has to be someone to blame culture that is now so great in the us and uk. Having such an experienced diver die on a boat due to his fall...

Got myself a sport hd2 with a few accessories for xmas. Got the single arm baseplate i think it is. Want to make the lighting rig so going to buy the flex arm and then a torch adapter. Does this torch adapter accept the intova compact series of torches which accept the annoying cr sized...

Im off uni tomorrow so im off to the dive shop i use regularly to hammer out a price for a d9 + transmitter basically. He tended to stay with the 1 he sells alot of, the vyper air but as several people have said to me go for the best you can go for! lol. I dive all Mares (BCD, regs and...

So slight update, I have been talking and my parents have said they will chip some money in. THis sends my budget up a little. To d9 + transmitter range. Is it worth it?
