Hi all,
When diving reverse profiles, the recommendation from DAN et al based on the 1999 conference is for there being no more than a 12m difference between depths is given.
I’m wondering if anyone knows why this figure specifically is given? If the first dive is a longer shallow one in say...
The point of failure with my dive boots seems to be the zipper for me. I do wash them etc.
Anyway does anyone know of any good hard soled zipperless dive boots that will last a couple of years / a couple of hundred dives or more? Not necessarily pull-on only - a Velcro strap or buckle or...
Hello!
I was wondering if anyone could recommend good easy reef diving suitable for a beginner in Indonesia? We are hoping for healthy reefs and shallow (18m and shallower) sites with minimal current. Diving an aquarium would be the ideal basically. I have mostly done muck diving in Indonesia...
Hi all.
We are two macro photographers. We have four weeks in Indo (all of January). We have done 3x month long dive trips to Bali before (mostly Pemuteran / Tulamben / Amed / Padangbai). Love the east cost muck particularly but are thinking this time we might do either Ambon or Lembeh too...
Hi all! Can anyone recommend a good place to stay in Padang Bai? We did a day trip there from Tulamben a couple of days ago and I was very impressed with the macro opportunities at the jetty there. We will probably dive with OK as one of their guides was kind to me underwater, pointing out some...
Hi all! We are presently in Tulamben taking photos and I was wondering if anyone would like to share:
* what do you think Bali's best macro dive is?
* what are the most interesting creatures there?
im hoping to see a harlequin shrimp and a
donut nudi here :)

Hi guys! We have decided on a quick break over to Fiji in a couple of weeks (leaving on the 20th). It's just a short trip. 10 days only.
We have dove Indonesia and the Philippines quite a bit, but this is our first time in Fiji. We prefer to spend time in one or two places and see them...
I find myself very moved by the ferry tragedy that is unfolding. Here's hoping they find air pockets inside the ship. Those poor children. What a horrifying way to die - trapped inside a metal box filling with water.
And it made me think - I've dived a similar wreck. It was the Dona Marilyn off...
Hello all!
i have an Olympus epl-3 with two inon s2000 strobes. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the correct settings for this combo (for macro) please? Any tips would be much appreciated :)
thanks so much!
It's a shame to be asking this question, but I could really use some advice here.
Two weeks out from our planned dive trip to the PI, and I've completely ruptured the ACL in my left leg after a post-dive fall. After discussion with the doctors, I have decided to go ahead with the trip, but will...
Hey all! Firstly, apologies. I posted about this yesterday, but asked the post be deleted an hour or so later as I was able to get to the surgeon for advice and didn't want to waste your time here until I'd gotten that input. So what I will instead post is a summary of what has happened, the...
Hi all!
I've decided it was time to upgrade from my gopro and get a bit more serious about my photography/videography. I have just purchased the following setup second hand from a diver who was unfortunately injured:
Olympus EPL-2 with 14-42 lens
Olympus EPL-3 with 2x14-42 lenses
1x45mm Leica...
Hey all!
Sorry - I know this has been asked before, but I'm just wanting to see if our specific wishlist is possible in Anilao. Basically my wife and I are wanting to get there for a week in January and to keep accom and food costs down while diving. We want to spend our money on getting wet...
Hi all! If anyone has a ladies drysuit gathering dust, my wife is in the market. She is 5'8" and slim. Please PM me if you have anything of interest! Thanks.
Hi Scubaboarders!
Ive just passed the first anniversary of my OW certification, and am feeling reflective and grateful. I thought Id share the journey of my first year of diving (and of Scubaboard). This is LONG, and I dont expect anyone much to read it, but its a way of marking a milestone...
We have just spent a week with Evolution in Malapascua, followed by a week with Prana here in Alona Beach. I can't speak highly enough about either.
We are doing sinulog in Cebu for the next 3 days and are then heading over to Negros for a week and a half.
Some of that will certainly be in...
Hey all.
I have been looking at the Archon range of lights for a while (originally their canister lights), but reviews on some of them in the west seem to be scarce. I was put onto them by a Chinese friend of mine who dives and loves them.
Anyway, when I saw they had a '1400 lumen' video light...
Hey all.
I've recently obtained a HOG D1 first stage. I have it mounted 'upside down' at the moment for use with a single tank - so that the long hose comes out of the port at the top of the turret, pointed down and slightly to my right side. The other LP hoses then mount in the turret at the...
