    Thailand Gap Internships --Anyone Know These Guys?

    A better place to do an internship would be Phi Phi, where the diving is better, and generally they have a higher standard. Which is why the courses are more expensive - an Open Water Course is 13800 thai baht. At this price operators can afford to have well maintained equipment, boats and run...

    Advanced Open Water in Thailand - any suggestions, please?

    Lanta is much quieter than Phuket and an AOW course there would include diving at the world famous Hin Daeng/Hin Muang dive site... which is rarely visited from Phuket as it is too far. Lanta is super easy to get to from Phuket.. There is a ferry which runs daily in the High season. Or you...

    Miami SB Hotel recommendation?

    A good place to stay in South Beach is the Clay Hotel or The Tropics. Both at the north end of the beach.. can't remember off the top, but they are both very near to the Starbucks at the north end of Ocean Drive. Both hotels have both rooms and hostel beds. I've stayed in both in the last...

    Scubapro Ladyhawk BC

    I don't know how I stumbled on this thread, but I'm glad that I did. I didn't realize that this problem was something with the model. I too have a new LadyHawk (2003), and have had that problem with one of the straps. I've just gotten used to it happening and typically just wait till I'm in...

    Packing for backpacking/diving trip

    Packing for backpacking/diving trip

    In 4 weeks I will be leaving for a 6 month backpacking trip around the world, hitting many of the good dive spots. Despite talking to many people, I am still thoroughly confused as to what to bring and would fully appreciate any pointers or insight from people who have done it... or at least...

    Singapore

    So far I have found very little information on the cost of a dive trip in Malaysia / Thailand (from Singapore). Does anyone have any ideas/info? Any suggestions on shops or charters (or even acommodations) would be helpful.

    Libra? Isla? DIva? Luna? Which one?

    I've had the LadyHawk for almost a year now and vs. other BC's mentioned in the thread, I'd recommend it for a diver who is looking for the following qualities: -non-bulky/streamlined (After having the LH I don't think I could ever go the way of something as bulky as the DIVA LX) -Smaller...

    Singapore

    Yes, I'm down with hanging out. As far as the diving locations people have so far suggested around Singapore, I'll have to get back to everyone after I've done some research. The biggest constraint is money... I have very little budgeted for this trip. Any info on how much it'd cost to cruise...

    Singapore

    For anyone that is interested I'll be there from Nov. 20 till around the 27th, 2004. Though people have posted that you can't get wet at this time... If this is true... (which I haven't figured out yet).. please consider these dates an invitation to kick-it (chill) in Singapore...

    Singapore

    <red face> Thanks for the tidbit. I hadn't done a search (at all) on Singapore, land or otherwise, but thought i'd throw it up anyways. Clearly, my Oz dive buddy has led me a stray. I'll stick to the orchid gardens then, and do my research before I post stuff next time.
