I did my Divemaster with Simple Life in Koh Tao. My accommodation was a 10 minute walk from the dive shop and cost me $400 for the month. Cheap food too. Good luck. GJS p.s. You might consider the technical route beginning with the "fundies" course from GUE.

My daughter started using a DiveRite Traveller BP/W when she was a slight 12 year old. It has some expansion capabilities if you grow. LOL. I was impressed by its performance, that I got one for myself. GJS

Under The Jungle have great instructors. Follow them on Instagram to see what they do. Tulum!!

Nice control of light. Thanks for sharing.

Hello, May I ask for a dive centre recommendation for a Yongala dive? I am staying on Maggie Island. Thank you, Greg

I left Abu Dhabi after 17 years, and living in Australia (Gold Coast). I have a trip to Maggie Island and hope to dive the Yongala. I would use Dive Yongala, but I have no way to get to Alva Beach. Taxi? (LOL. Australia does not accept UAE driver licenses and I have not taken the test.) Cheers...

I'm doing a refresher course in December on Maggie Island (last dive HMAS Brisbane February 2019). I hope to book a day trip to Yongala. May I ask for operator suggestions please? Thanks. Greg

I'm short, but stocky; therefore, a wetsuits are usually too long in the arms and legs. I purchased two custom wetsuits (3 mm and 5 mm) that fit perfectly. You might look into a custom suit to see if it makes sense for you. 7TILL8 https://7to8wetsuits.myshopify.com

I carry the Spyderco Enuff Salt in H1 on my bcd (zip ties). It has been with me on about 100 dives. The dive masters and guides like the knife too when they ask about it. 👍

Precisely; the bag has a small capacity. Top quality gear.

I learned how to deploy a DSMB by practicing in a pool. I used the AP Diving Training Delayed SMB. This DSMB is about 18 inches long and allows the diver to pull the bag down to depth and then repeat the deployment process. I could then practice deployment 10-15 times. I added a couple of extra...

Congrats! There is a lot to learn and the good thing is that one can continue to dive throughout your entire life. (I dived cenotes last year with Under The Jungle dive centre and my guide dived a dry suit and wore a diaper. Great! I can continue to dive in my Otter when I am old and...

If you live in Australia, then it is $420 per dive plus your left nut. LOL. Expensive to dive in Australia compared to other locations I have visited. The least expensive was when I was a member of a BSAC club in Abu Dhabi. We had lots of steel cylindars, two compressors and two boats (east and...

I bought great kit from Tobin. Maybe he has taken up fine woodworking and living in the forest?? Wishing him the best.

Give me two 7's in sidemount! Thanks for sharing.

I haven't dived since February (HMSC Brisbane, Queensland). I cancelled my April trip to Puerto Galera. Hopefully I will be diving at Christmas. I am happy for those in my community who are diving. Stay safe.

Unless your walk will be under 32 km, you should be fine! LOL. Seriously, for most dives, most of the time, you will love the BP/W once you are properly sized and configured. The more difficult decision is "which one for me?"!!! Good luck. GJS

At age 55, I purchased two custom-sized wetsuits. Both fit great.

I like my Light Monkey reel (and three torches)!

I have added a lanyard to the knife and it is looped under the sheath; therefore, it is near impossible to dislodge from the sheath or drop if the lanyard is around your wrist. Treat yourself!
