Not easy! There aren't typical diving operators. Most local diving is done in clubs. There are two dive schools you can try to contact, but they hire services from others to actually do the dives. This one has dives programmed for September in Hanko Sukelluskoulu Aalto You can also contact the...

Dry suits should be dry. As for gloves, I was diving wet gloves in the UK, but now that I have tried dry gloves, they are much better. If you are getting a new suit, take a look at what's available.

Thank you both! I'll make some contacts in advance. Have seen some dive centres also mention some caves. Would like to check those out. Do they go there frequently?

Good talk at Techü, Helsinki!

Thanks. That's one of the diving centres I had bookmarked, but it's difficult to compare all and know how they operate. Any general advice regarding diving in Thailand?

Hi All, I will be going to Krabi, close to Ao Nang, and would appreciate any advice on good diving centres and interesting dive places. Thanks!

They have only posted this (Google-translated) so far: "A middle-aged man died scuba diving Ojamo kaivoslammella Lohja on Saturday, 01.14.2017 afternoon. The man was carried out by the water flooded cave diving in an old limestone mine with other enthusiasts of the species. Diver died inside...

I mean the diver was not alone and I don't think he was trapped by the ice. There are two areas of the open part of the quarry that are kept open from ice and line is installed connecting them to the mine tunnels, deco trapeze and habitat. While it is possible to become disoriented, or have a...

News in English: Scuba diver trapped under ice dies Not sure about this "trapped under the ice" thing... And the comment from the fire chief seems a bit over the top.

There was a fatal accident today at Ojamo mine, Finland. The news reports don't say anything about what happened. The only extra things I know so far is that it was a middle-aged man and that he said during the dive he had some unspecified problems, but didn't make it. News in Finnish...

If it was one of the AOW adventures, it's not the full specialty. I don't even get that in the summer! You said wrecks? Uh, then the wreck specialty also needed. And assuming the dive is by boat, I hope they have boat diving card as well!

I think it stopped making sense right at the start when the two divers became separated after a presumably short period with lights out. Started playing hide and seek? Allied to the fact that there were exits nearby, she had a spool to make the jumps (I assume the jump locations are marked on...

Many valid points have been discussed in this thread and, while some of the problems are physiological (such as those regarding the behaviour during a drowning incident) and cannot be changed, there were many others that are caused or enabled by training. I think we have so much evidence of how...

I went in June. Conditions improve more through summer. Although it's the middle of the Atlantic, so the weather can always change. Visibility was quite ok! I don't think it was the time for blue whales, but we saw sperm whales (not while going diving).

Find and instructor and say you are interested. They may do a course only with you or already have someone waiting or keep you waiting for a buddy. I didn't go into my cave nor trimix courses already with a buddy. I second the opinion that it's much better to do your course with another diver...

I would like to start by thanking those involved in the recovery and for the information being released. I think some of the explanations about what was done and when info was being released (even if info was being released) could have been done earlier in a pre-emptive manner. This would have...

To the OP, looking at the other lights on the market, the possible problems in having them shipped or repaired and comparing quality, I think you'll be well served with Northern Light Scuba | Diving gears and lights A question that arises from what has been mentioned about flying with these...

I have used Season Challenge and they were very good. Season Challenge

A lot has been written here, which I am not going to read, but I think what is confusing you is the fact that people use volume as an amount when it is not. It only gives an amount if the pressure is also stated. This language "simplification" brings with it some inaccuracy. So, when thinking...

No, getting experience in a small amount of time by asking random questions on the internet is not a safe thing to do.
