Can I ask how long your DUI custom suit took to arrive? I ordered one 6 months ago and no whisper on when it's arriving... getting rather frustrated..

Can I jump into this thread please? I have 3 nights in Honolulu in August (on my way to Bikini.. woohoo) and am keen to do some diving. I've been a bit burned previously (10 years ago!) that I booked a dive in Honolulu and got put with a group of Try-Divers. I've been in touch with one shop and...

I did a trip on the Bilikiki on Nov - Dec. It was fantastic so enjoy. I didn't find a lot to do in HOniara - there are some WW2 tours. I had hoped to dive the Bonegi Wreck but an earthquake hit(!) ALl I wll add was that my flights changed multiple times to and from Honiara so I kept losing and...

Thanks :) 50 minute dives... very short! Do you have to dive it as guided dives or can you do your own thing (within 50 minutes...) I take it from your comment it is still worth doing, even with the short dive times :)

I'm keen to dive the HMAS Brisbane on the Sunshine Coast. The local dive shops' websites say that dives are limited to 50 minutes. That seems rather short for a big boat. I'm tec / advanced wreck trained.. and would prefer to do one long dive than 2 short ones... Any ideas if this is feasible...

You should be fine with Din.

I dive in my drysuit all year round in NZ :) We've also been told to anticipate our borders being closed for this year.. except for possibly Pacific neighbours (and currently Oz). Good luck

There won't be a civil / wrongful death lawsuit in Aotearoa New Zealand...

Lots of diving fatalities in NZ because of (IMHO): - close proximity to water - it's easy to go diving - potentially challenging conditions - it's not tropical diving - kiwi 'she'll be right' attitude

Both SSRIs and SNRIs do lower seizure threshold. I have not seent this apply in real life - more of a theoretical risk. 150mg od of venlafaxine is not a high dose. If the venlafaxine works, stay on it and don't push your limits in terms of MOD. I would imagine you'd be a far greater risk diving...

another plus vote for Odyssey.. having been on a trip to Rowley Shoals wit them in 2016

THis is my concern. I used 'google translate' on this article, but think I got the general gist of it. My understanding is that people can have significant changes on Chest CT from COVID without significant COVID symtpoms. I have heard in Europe, Canada, patients being screened pre-operatively...

Hi I've posted here before about recurrent otitis externa and got some helpful ideas... However, am just back from a diving holiday with a rip-roaring otitis externa. I'm not using vosol as a preventor currently as it irritates my ears. I do have the 'ear dryer' and use that. I also use almond...

absolutely not! Nothing smaller than my elbow goes in my ears..... :)

I've been struggling with recurrent otitis externa post tropical diving and am after any suggestions for prevention. I used to get otitis externa prior to diving / when I wasn't diving so guess I am a little prone to it. I am a bit atopic and often have 'itchy' ears when my hayfever is bad. i...

O2 Fakarava were awesome for day diving

I dived with Jay on a liveaboard last year. He was good value and certainly an interesting bloke to talk to and I don't think I appreciated the extent of what he's achieved. My overriding memory was that he was something to aspire to in terms of jumping on a plane and diving on a liveaboard in...
