They are actually mixed in the results and indeed a bit confusing. Usually it is mentioned on the box/description which type it is. Film ones are cheaper - max 10-15$ or so - while "glass" ones are usually from $10 upwards. Also usually film ones include 3 pieces in the box because they are...

I did try the this in the morning, but it wouldn't work. Here is an image of what I am talking about: It's just a random one I fount - doesn't have to be this particular one. Just make sure the screen of the corresponding mobile phone is bigger that the DC screen (most mobile phones if not all...

I'm using the thin ones that are like a film - not the thicker "glass" type. Something like this (picked randomly): Somehow Scubaboard doesn't allow me to post an Amazon link. Search for "Film Cell Phone Screen Protectors" and you will get an idea. They are cheaper (few $/euro) and usually come...

I cut screen protectors from mobile phones to shape and use them. They work as a charm, if you are careful enough not to get any dust trapped underneath.

NOT thoroughly rinsing your regs for the first couple of dives after service will do the trick ... I am kidding of course. Are you guys using a torque wrench for tightening it? If so, it needs quite a bit of torque and I don't see how it could get loose after normal use. Hasn't happened to me...

I don't do CCR, so I don't know details. What I know is that Nikos from Chania Diving ( www.chaniadiving.gr ) here in Chania/Crete/Greece is very active teaching CCR stuff. There are some deep WW2 wrecks that can be enjoyed with CCR. More in Aquanaut-techical diving training | Chaniá

As I explained in #12 I finally got the items. BTW I paid directly with Credit Card - no PayPal.

We (humans) will be forced to reconsider what we consider as reality is very soon. Until recently, having a picture or sound/video recording of something was (usually) good enough to be considered as a proof, because these were difficult to manipulate/generate. And still, spread of...

Welcome to Scubaboard @WowWeHadVis . I'd say that this is VERY impressive, considering that this is a generic tool (not designed nor trained for deco planing). Wrong and dangerous??? Yes, but still very impressive. As all tools, its' use is the responsibility of the user...

Welcome to ScubaBoard @Keno.hng I would say that most of what you describe is very normal. To all the places I have been that do daily trips, operators assume 3 options: A. Divers have no DC for themselves and rely on the guide's DC, or B. Divers bring their own DC, or C. Divers want to use a...

It also depends on the kind of your boots. I wear 45 shoe, and with my drysuit (Waterproof D7) Powerjet at XL are fine. For soft boots they are huge (even L might be too big for 45 soft boots).

Keep in mind: - (Assuming you arrive to Indonesia from abroad at 1pm) clearing immigration, picking up your luggage and clearing customs etc can easily take more than 1 hour. - commuting to and from the city center to the airport can easily take another 2 hours (or more) each way depending on...

Welcome to ScubaBoard @Ben0102. If your target is longer NDL times, then I have the perfect solution for you: dive with NO dive computer and stay underwater as long as you can.... Problem solved (?) Now seriously. The road trying to get 1-2-3-5-10 minutes extra NDL is VERY slippery. We need...

Thanks for the input. Of course I know this (who doesn't?). But I also know the (limited) budget I have. As I said above, I am going to Indonesia (Jakarta to be more precise) almost every year - for few weeks at a time to visit family. During that time, I usually take about a week off for...

@rsingler great reminder of this thread. It's been "only" 3 years and I've totally forgotten all these. Not the concept of rock bottom itself, but that you've developed this tool doing all the boring maths for us. Thanks to remind us...

Thanks for the info. Was it really that bad? I contacted liveaboard.com asking about canceled trip due to low occupancy and they said their policy is that if the LoB operator cancels a trip, it is the operator's responsibility to rebook the client(s) to a similar or better LoB and if that is...

Last time I looked (January 2023) for a friend flying from Bali to Sorong was a pain as you had to transit through Makassar and timing was odd. I have no idea if connections have now improved, but Jakarta to Sorong non-stop (eg by Garuda) should still be preferable.

I will be going to Indonesia/Jakarta this summer (around 20th of July to ~20th of August) and I can get a week or so off for diving, probably towards the end of my stay (I have to be in Jakarta on the 4th of August and obviously I need to be back on time to catch my return flight home). I have...

You are welcome @garywong007 . I didn't find the procedure itself difficult at all. What is difficult I think is how to describe it in words. Hence, I illustrated it with a video. Glad you fount it useful.

That's another point. Usually there are so many things to do, see and eat topside here, that for people with limited time, diving becomes low priority (and to be honest rightfully so). I'll be happy to meet/dive with you in April. Let me know...
