WOW, I was away for a couple of weeks and did not see all this great feedback; thank´s you all!! My main goal is maybe start a small diveshop in southeast Asia in the near future; and when I say small I mean it, maybe 4 divers max on some friends resort. I have no interest whatsoever in...

Thanks for the link; the bit that I still do no understand is the SSI diveguide/divemaster vs PADI Divemaster, According to that table PADI Divemaster is same as SSI ? So it is not clear to me if I can jump from PADI Divemaster straight to SSI AI PADI Divemaster>SSI AI>SSI OWI vs SSI...

Hello, After much thinking about (years and years...)it I want to become a pro and give it a try.. So far I am PADI Rescue diver certified with around 400 logged dives, I want to become an SSI OW instructor (able to teach up to stress and rescue, right?) and may start a small dive shop in a...

Hello, For sale a Ikelite EOS M6 housing new, never used. I had an EOS M3 but I had lots of trouble with it (Design fault). Ikelite replaced it for me under warranty. The housing plus ports were bought in Germany August 2017, so in theory there is still one year warranty (I guess housing too)...

I saw 30+ schooling devil rays in the Gilis couple of weeks ago, it was fantastic. Great visibility and huge turtles everywhere..I have to say that it was better than I expected

Thanks for your offer, I did not see your message as I do not recieve alerts (possible to get an email when someone post a message??) and completely forgot. Anyway, I spoke with ikelite and the will send it toguether with a part I need for my housing. Regards Javier

Mastersalem has answered, they would not recieve it until Dec/Jan ...so it does not suit me..

Thank you, I will try them... Edit: I sent them an email, waiting for their reply...

Bali like the say,( I am stay in in Pemuteran right now, Tulamben is closed) but I did love Pulau Weh. I will spend a whole month there next year

Hello, I am currently in Bali, have been here for almost a month and I will be around until the 26th of November. Currently staying in Pemuteran, nice place to chill out. Some friends are coming for their honeymoon and bringing me some stuff from Spain but no store in Spain or Bali has the...

At the end we went to Phillipines Consulate in Barcelona and applied for the 59 day visa, so we have the first part of the trip covered. We get to Cebu on the 26th of Nov, go to Pundaquit from the 22nd of Dec to the 5th of Jan. Would it be possible to get the 2 month extension while in...

My mistake with Chinese New year...to many dates floating in my brain by now :-) How can be easier to get to Padre Burgos from Camiguin than to Pintuyan via Surigao? Can you specify the route? We rather try to watch the whalesharks in the wild than go to Oslob Circus, only if we do not see...

The reason to go to Pintuyan was just the oposite you are saying, I red somewhere that it was closer to the whaleshark area than Padre Burgos. Also if we fly from Cebu to Surigao it seemed easier just go to Pintuyan and then from there back to Surigao and Camiguin. If we were to go to Bohol...

We know about the dress code, no problem with that. Getting the 59 day visa in Spain is a bit tricky as you have to go to the embassy in person and go back after few days to pick it up. I would have to go to Madrid or Barcelona and stay there few days. At the end it is going to be more costly...

After studiying all options I am finding the most dificult bit is going to be the second 2 month extension plus ACR-I card. I thought it would be as easy as the first extention to 59 days (two day process?) but it seems it will not be that easy (up to few weeks?), not all immigration offices...

Thank you for all the suggestions, I will have to study it well ;-) Regarding the Visa we plan to extend it to 59 days in Cebu before fly to Clark. Maximum visa we can get from Spain is a 59 day visa, so we would have to make an extention anyway. I thought it was a pretty straight forward...

@billt4sf Thanks for reminding me Raja Ampat, we will go for that as it is pretty easy to do from Sulawesi. We will then have to skip both Palu/Bira and Bunaken/Lembeh We would do something like this then: 2 day Makassar 2 weeks + Raja Ampat (2 locations/homestays) Fly Makassar-Sorong...

Hello, My girlfriend and I will spend 3 1/2 months in Philippines between late November to mid March. Entry and exit point is Cebu. We plan to star going to Malapascua and maybe Moalboal before going to Pundaquit ( A bit north from Manila)to spend Xmas with a friend ( We may go to Subic bay a...

Hello, My girlfriend and I will spend 2 months in sukawesi next March/April. Before going there we will have spend 5 months in Bali and Phillipines having dived most probably Lembongan, Tulamben, Malapascua, Moalboal, Subic Bay, Padre Burgos/Pintuyan, Bohol, Siquijor and Apo island. After...

The problem is I am also traveling with 4kg plus of photographic gear ( eos m3, ikelite housing 11-22 and 28 macro lenses plus a strobe). Only scuba gear I may take with me is my dive computer, prescription mask and a torch. If the airline looses my gear then I will have to rent it and use my...
