The 'Sun Vista' off Malaysia Info/pics on my site here:- http://www.drmike.smugmug.com/gallery/1268825 Very strong currents and bad viz - but a great scooter dive! Kinda cool swimming through the ships Disco

I am happy to report that the Empress has been saved!! Apparently an extra large swell actually picked her up and dumped her in slightly deeper water behind the reef, where they managed to anchor, still being bounced around coral heads. Bent rudders and props, huge dents etc, but NO leakage...

The 'slant' on your website regarding the Lagarto is utter Bull****. QUOTE: "Since the discovery in May of the World War II wreck of the USS Lagarto, a 1,500 ton Balao class submarine, in the Gulf of Thailand, a new skirmish on and under the seas is surfacing. On one side are the...

The Docs opinion is that was not a bend...just old age!!

Hmm, the cartlidge, thats an interesting point I never considered. There is a history of knee problems in my family (father and brothers all have had cartlidge problems) .

- and a condescending one.

Sigh. Im not 'farting about on the internet' - Im asking questions and trying to discuss subject matter in a forum thats sole purpose is to provide a place to ask such questions and discuss such matters. I dont need any kind of emergency hyperbaric treatment. For one thing its been far...

Hi there. I hope to seek advice from qualified persons regarding a suspected bend. Last week on a LOB trip on 2nd day I began to feel very mild knee pain at the 6m stop. By the time the stop finished the very mild pain had gone. Every day we did 2 dives per day 2 hours run time/dive...

For cheap and basic try one of these - http://www.hotel81.com.sg/ If you want something a bit more upmarket you can try Traders hotel or one of the other well known hotel chains.

There is a reason why the Empress is booked solid for over a year in advance. Its a great boat, great capt. - you will have a good time. I am yet to dive off a better boat or with a better capt.

You amy be able to buy the mask for that but the OC/CC pod (assuming it is available now) is far more expensive than $500 Teksimple, I realise my hoses are a custom length because Im using the pod so not much point giving you the length.

poop! my units packed away for a trip tomorow. Um, Ill have to take a look tonight when I get home. The hose itself is stock inspiration hose - you just need to tell them what length you want (get a bit longer so you can trim it yourself) Ill measure my hose lengths tonight and report back...

IYHO Mine fits fine thanks and I know many others without fit issues - Not all normal scuba masks fit either True for some but not with all. To me this is a very small price to pay for the benefits Not true if the mask is designed for RB use. Not true if you use a BOV its easier...

They are only being sold to the Military apparently. Was lucky to get mine from 1st batch before they pulled them.

I replaced those thin hoses with the thicker APD ones (Just call up APD and they will cut longer ones for you (The YBOD standard hoses are shorter) I also ordered a set of hose covers from them to fit. Doesnt add much in the way of insulation but does protect the hose without adding much...

I dont think you should chance it all all if your with students!

Thanks, Yes the question was asked largely out of academic interest. Do you have any details on those referances so that I can get myself a copy?

Advice is sought from those who have knowledge on short exposure tolerance to very high PPO2s. The situation that I am seaking advice about is as follows: A rebreather diver at depth has a loss of all on-board oxygen but has access to an off board Oxygen in a stage tank. The stage tank...
