    Palau without liveabroad?

    I just visited Palau in the X'mas and am very pleased with Neco Marine but I am sure you will do well with either Sam's or FnF With less than 50 dives, Peleliu may not be a good choice as those dive sites are relatively advance (and a bit remote too, speed boat time>1hr) As I was told, Neco...

    Newb - Pls. critique my gear shopping list

    BCD - I prefer bpw/ back inflate type, no squeezing during the dive Computer - any wrist size will do but don't like zoop as no backlight, take a look on zoop novo or Cressi Leonardo Reg - you may want to buy a sealed balanced diaphragm over a piston one guage - spg> 2guage console if you...

    Diving in East Asia in July, advice

    If diving is not your (or your group's) main purpose, I would not suggest Philippines/Indonesia There ain't much to do for the non-divers if you go to diving resorts You may want to take a look on Okinawa in Japan, both good for shopping, sight seeing and easy to arrange 1 or 2 day of boat diving

    Oxycheq & Deco Bcd Help Needed

    I have the same issue but less air loss (~30-40%) with my two 30lb mech V wings which were purchased online. The online dealer was kind enough to send me spare OPV, but later I noticed the OPV seat cannot be removed. I took it to my LDS and they said that it is fine as long as no obvious air...
