    Dive Medicals

    No, @Scubagermany you wouldn't. Considering the privacy culture in Germany, I wouldn't answer your question. If you think that your insta-buddy is a diving risk, don't dive with that person. Suppose your buddy has a doctor-signed dive medical that dates back 6 months. Does that give you any...

    Dive Medicals

    In your example, you point at a dive medical from another diver that might be your buddy. You'll only know if your buddy is physically capable of finishing the dive after the dive. If I was your insta-buddy and you ask me for my dive medical just before the dive, I'd raise an eyebrow and smile.

    Dive Medicals

    A dive medical shouldn't be mandatory. Unless there is a remote chance that someone else than the diver is held liable/accountable in case of an incident. Because in that case it's good to have that medical of a diver that falls under your responsibility, as already pointed out: Unfortunately...

    Unknown Large party of divers in trouble, one dies at Cirkewwa, Malta

    Diving conditions around Malta are benign in general, the water is calm, clear and warm. There's hardly any noticeable tidal difference. Currents however, are unpredictable. I've been surprised several times, which is one the reasons why I always have an AIS beacon with me. Seagrass, which is...

    Unknown Large party of divers in trouble, one dies at Cirkewwa, Malta

    No it's not. And as you have likely read in the paragraph following my quoted text, you can read that I think the decision to dive was questionable. So your question was already answered.

    Unknown Large party of divers in trouble, one dies at Cirkewwa, Malta

    On that fateful day, the wind was coming from the south, making this northern tip of Malta the best choice for a dive. While all dive centers keep a close look at weather forecasts, Mother Nature did not and decided to change wind directions at the dive site 2 hours ahead of the forecast. One...

    New diver from Netherlands

    Welkom! BP/W. It will outlast any BCD and you will enjoy the freedom of movement in a BP/W soooo much more. There's a solution for that and it's called drysuit.

    Dive shop cancelled, now witholding refund

    I checked out yucatandivetrek, but no link to booking Terms & Conditions anywhere on their website (not indexed by Google). That's dodgy to begin with. Xtcdivecenter seems to process payments through peek.com (Terms of Service) which already looks less dodgy.

    Dive shop cancelled, now witholding refund

    Did you book through a travel agency that has insurance for these situations? If you paid directly, what were the Terms & Conditions? Since you mailed PADI, did you book the trip at PADI Travel?

    Diving stats

    That's exactly what my software product does. Divers register at dive centers with their certification, self-reported dive count and the date of their last dive. From that information, statistics can be created: through which agency the diver is certified and in which age group the diver is. For...

    Diving stats

    You are an active diver and registered here. Those two sisters of yours are likely not interested in a scuba forum (and never registered) when they're not scubadiving. Which means that this forum cannot provide those stats at all.

    Is certification necessary for shallow water diving?

    This. It all comes down to attempts to blame somebody else but the diver him/herself. Why? Holding the agency responsible for lack of skills is typical heir-behaviour after a fatality. A diver could have been trained and certified years ago, when the diver's skills met the standards, but...

    I'd do the morning dives plus the afternoon dive.

    I managed to reproduce this issue, both on iOS and Android. Too busy this weekend to dive into it, in the coming week I'll check it out.

    In that case: ask Samsung to update their browser to the latest standards, since the issue categorized by you as pretty annoying is caused by your browser. Your browser follows the Chrome v117 standard. Chrome is now at V122.

    True. The advertisement should fill the entire screen width, I think this is a browser issue. Could you check what the page looks like in another browser? (not SamsungBrowser/24.0 - it advertises as Chrome compatible, but is 5 versions behind on browser standards)
