to buy you some beer on the 1st Feb...

They've definitely changed but I wonder if PADI Japan recognise it for instructor insurance like Europe does?

Must be great to know that loads of people will see you photo Good Job!

Looks Good Andrew - will PM

Hi Dan, Yeah - pretty expensive round here but there are more reasonable ways of doing it! And yes that was a quake today - man they are getting bigger and more frequent, scary stuff!

I'll be looking that one up - thanks Any more ideas anyone? Come on I do hope to get more than one pass in two weeks :D

best time of the year to dive Japan is from about September to March - too cold for most Japanese so not very crowded. Water temp will be at it's warmest in September which is not always good for the viz. but means you don't have to bring the thick suits with you. You never know I might even...

Advice please - other than go on a live aboard! Not an option unless we take the mother-in-law so I'm looking for suggestions for interesting diving trips for the day from Cairns. I will be in Cairns the last two weeks in September and hope to get some diving in! Cheers Jonathan

welcome aboard!

You lucky man nori - I assure you that you made the right choice!

Well I know one instructor up here gets it through his nurse contacts... Getting it in the tank is not a problem but the O2 cleaning might be.

I normally get mine through my instructor or friendly dive shop owner :eyebrow: I am sure you know that the gas laws here are very different from elsewhere - not to mention the price...

O2 Provider is not for O2 fills - for that it is a lot more complicated...

That's what someone told my friend keiko - she was very disappointed. Hopefully you have better luck....

Nori, I really could not recommend it! Except as a stopping off point for Bikini that is. When I was there a few years back the coral was all pretty much dead and not much fish life. Did have a fun encounter with an Silver tip though! Also there is absolutely nothing to do on you SI...

I'm off to buy one of those rebels tomorrow (they call them Kiss out here ?!?!?) and now I am going to have to buy a housing for it as well damn you! Looks like I'll never buy that house.... Great photos

Some great diving and loads of buddies around - look forward to seeing you in the water soon!

Drop TJO a line and get on his mailing list, doing stuff most weekends it seems... And welcome to the board and shortly Japan

second time round - not sure went wrong last night! Actually very little "archive" stuff but also very little diving as it is in 1,200 feet of water... That thing was huuuuuuuge! Very interesting program covering quite a lot of stuff. Seemed to concentrate on how basically the BS was...

You think so?! I had to stumble through the manual in Japanese (pictures are great) to work it out!! Also our TV is in pieces at the moment due to new furniture - hopefully get it sorted out before the program...
