    Different cost of dives worldwide

    Hello, Given how much difference there can be in what it costs to dive in different parts of the world, I'm interested in putting together a comparison table showing this. I was very shocked to see a cost in Exuma, Bahamas of around USD 100 per dive. At the other end of the scale in Koh Tao...

    Physiology of "saw tooth" diving.

    This is a really interesting point. I agree that no dive strictly follows a 'standard' profile - most involve an element of 20-17-16-17-16-18 (metres) etc. So what exactly are the tolerances I wonder? I.e. if a plan calls for a depth of 15m, and you vary between 14 - 17m; is that an acceptable...

    Egyptair - Report on recent experience

    Hey Louie Glad you had a good experience! You must have some very light kit though.. Literally, of course, you can take more than a set of fins. I was just illustrating a point - 20 kg is not that much allowance. They have reduced the allowance to this recently. I should say I was in Egypt...

    Egyptair - Report on recent experience

    Hello, I recently travelled on Egyptair from London to Sharm. A potentially useful summary of my experiences.. 1. Last year they allowed two checked bags - seems that has now changed and you can only take one (max of 20 kg; which is enough for some clothes and your fins...) 2. Until recently...
