I'm looking at accident insurance. If I remember correctly, the medical insurance coupled with accident insurance wasn't that great. I haven't taken out medical yet, so I could still couple it. I don't need property insurance - going with a different company. As far as DM insurance. I'm...

Hello Hawkwood, thanks for commenting. I'm wondering though, will I qualify for their US coverage if I'm spending months, possibly the entire year, of the coverage outside of the US when I didn't even start my coverage from within the US (i.e. I wouldn't be able to show that I left the US with...

I will be traveling around SE Asia starting in 2 weeks. During this time ill take my DMT. I plan on doing quite a bit of diving so I'm going to get insurance. I've looked at DAN, DiveAssure, Dive Masters Insurance and Security National Insurance. It seems that DAN and DiveAssure only offer multi...

In a couple of weeks I'll begin backpacking around SE Asia and, obviously, diving. I've never had dive insurance before but this trip I plan on doing quite a lot of diving - I'll be taking my DMT at some point. I know of some options - DAN, DiveAssure, Security National Insurance, Dive Masters...

Thanks ams! I'm looking into the F-2 now!

In about 4 months I'll be traveling around S.E. Asia (not sure how long, but let's just say 3 months for sake of the post), diving on and off. After which I will do my DM and start my professional diving career. I've heard great things about DAN and traveling around S.E. Asia it seems common...

Hey folks, Thanks for the responses. I guess I'm a little surprised that there isn't more information out there about finding the right lift for you - maybe I'm not looking in the right places. Jim, I sent you a message, thanks for responding here as well. CT, I had a quick look at the...

Great, thanks for the picture reference! I'll be travelling (backpacking) with them so it looks like it might make more sense to go with the Highlands.

Looking at the HOG 23lb doughnut and have heard many a great things. I dive tropical water and will be diving mainly rec as a DM and then Instructor, but plan to get into tech when the time is right - aka ASAP. After looking around, haven't really been able to figure out which pound lift to go...

Poking around for some new fins and on DGX they only sell Highland Power Fins. Never heard of them (though, I'm no expert on fins by any means), but really like Scubapro Jet Fins. Was wondering how people feel about the differences in old school paddle fins between brands - I mean, they all look...

I've been thinking a bit more and have decided I like backpack style (waist support) vs. duffel bag as I'll be travelling around a bit. ---------- Post added April 5th, 2013 at 09:14 AM ---------- modustollens - Those look like the Tactical Tailors. Is that what you use? Have you done any long...

I've had a look around the threads here and done some research other places. There are many different opinions out there and I'm hoping for some more :) I'll be travelling indefinitely starting this year and will be living out of my backpack. Right now I'm thinking of a pack big enough to hold...

Looking for some input and hoping someone can help: A guy near me is selling an Oceanic CDX5 first stage, Oceanic Delta 3 primary and Apeks T20 octopus with a bog standard (not sure what that means) SPG for about $200. (It doesn't come with the BCD inflator hose.) It has about 110 dives all...

I'm wondering if any full time dive instructors make money on the side and what you do? (Not full time employees who instruct on the side.)

I recently posted a thread about looking for a DMT program in Indonesia - preferably in exchange for work. I've emailed numerous outfitters and a lot of them email me back saying it's illegal to exchange work for training unless you have a work visa - which is more expensive than a program. Is...

Hello! I'm in search of 'free' DMT where I trade work for the cost of the course. I would prefer somewhere in Indonesia. I've been searching on the internet for a week straight now and it seems that most places that offer this sort of exchange are located in Thailand. I'm wondering if anyone...

I'm by no means qualified to add a comment with any weight to this thread, but I've been doing a little bit of research, particularly the OSTC 2 which has open source firmware and the company provides downloadable updates to the computer's software. I don't know if this is common for tech...

I should have mentioned that, sorry for the exclusion. I plan to take the IDC and I'd like to be an instructor. I'd like to explore different specialties and see which one I like the most before I decide exactly where my career will go. I have a copy of the PADI Encyclopedia of Recreational...

I've recently returned from my first actual dive vacation which has confirmed my desire to go pro. However, I'm just a little unsure of the direction of my next step so I thought I'd reach out for some help. Here's some info about me: Started diving in Jan. '11 AOW cert (30 logged dives)...

I'll be arriving just before midnight on the 16th of August so I'm planning on taking the first bus (not private) to towards Malapascua. I've heard this is one of the best times to travel due to lower traffic. Can anyone give me any estimates based on that info?? Much appreciated...
