I'll explain the reason for the question (maybe that will help from being flooded with posters agreeing on the 'stupid' aspect of the question): I've seen a number of DIY videos about making your own dive torches by filling air-spaces with oil to manage pressure issues etc. And, if course I'm...

Hi All, I'm very happy with my new Gallileo Luna. Slightly less happy with the fact that I'm on a MacBook Pro and it seems very tricky to find a IrDA USB compatible for MAC so that I can download my dives into the UWATEC JTRAC, and even more annoying that the Owners Information and Emergency...

Dear All, So after some jiggling and switching, this year's diving will be in LOMBOK. I was looking around the forums for some advise, but it appeared a little thin in respect to what I was looking for, so if we may use all the great people here for some advise again :) 1. Dive Centre: past...

Hello all! Me and my wife will come to Malaysia end of August for a few week's of holiday. First we'll stay a few days i KL, and then we'd like to go somewhere for a nice relax and diving... but we're struggling with finding out what place to go!? We have realised that Langkawi has some great...

Dear All, I'm sure this may be a silly question to many.... but here goes: I have a SP MK17 with an existing consol (bar & depth). I'm now looking at buying the Galileo SOL or LUNA. Can I attach the transmitter to the HP port on the MK17, whilst also keeping my existing consol? Is there...

Greetings, I know there are some posts covering the subject (apologies...!) but they seem rather old so here goes. My Suunto Stinger has been troublesome so I'm looking to get a new DC, and choice stands between GALILEO LUNA or SOL. The only difference I seem to have found is that SOL comes...

Dear SB:ers, Greetings! Me and my wife will soon be in Koh Samui for 8 days, and we're looking for a centre to dive with. Me Rescue / She AOW. Apart from the obvious: well kept equipment (we'll have to rent some due to regional travel), safety and generally professional staff we also...

Greetings all! I'm spending quite a bit of time in Athens, Greece, and the moment. If anyone on here has experience and insights about the centres and/or sites worth going to around athens - it'd be very gratefully received! Just back from Indonesia, and want to try squeeze a bit more...

Fellow divers! Me and my lady are off in August to Bali, to Nusa Dua more precisely. I'm planning to do my PADI rescue, and she is a recently certified OW. And of course, we'll also do plenty fun-diving together. Can anyone recommend a good centre? I know they are all very good, but...

As promised, please find enclosed a commentary on diving in Taba. 1) Taba or Taba Heights: Firstly, there are “two Tabas”: there is “Taba” which is where the Moevenpick and Hilton hotels are located, just on the Israeli border, and there is “Taba heights” located approximately 20km south and...

So, in the end we're off to TABA! Is there anyone that can help recommend a good DC there - in particular thinking of my gf (OW) who is still a little nervous at times. We will be there one week, and diving will be our main activity (hope to go see some of the rich cultural heritage too...

Sorry about the alarmist headline, and also if I'm double-dipping the Question... but have little time... let me explain: Have promised girlfriend to book holiday in Egypt, and short notice(!) is the word! So if anyone with knowledge would share a minute's advise, we would be immensely...

Dear fellow-bubblers, Need advise on nice, helpful and decently priced centre to dive with. In a week me and my gf will travel to Malta for a long weekend (Fri eve - Monday). In fact, this is my birthday present from her! We have flights and accomodation - and now the most important: the...

I have asked this before, and THANKS to those who already applied. Not ungrateful for your help, but just thought there may be someone new out there who might have info -- Anyone know about diving in Angola / Luanda? thanks!!!

Ok, so I have read the horror stories about buying equipment that require regular service (read: regulators) online - and thereby voiding warranties etc... But what about other stuff that isn't so 'tricky'? Seems a lot of money to be saved!! For example, I recently bought a new Suunto...

Hi all! Tomorrow I am going to Miami :)! Have seen that there are plenty of "online discount" dive shops in the states. Anyone know a good (read: good prices!) shop in Miami? I have seen that there is one called "Discount Scuba" or something like that??? [no, I ain't cheap - but I work...

I have looked for the answer to this here, but not found any - so I'll ask: Recently I got into a conversation with this chap in Indonesia about regulators who advise me "get the APEKS TX50 - but don't get the ATX50"... From the APEKS sales pitch, the difference seems to be that the ATX is...

I need some help with Suunto DM: I did 4 dives before byuing my DC. Once I bought the DC, I did a 6 'free dives' in a pool to try it out, and then I went onto OW. I have entered manually the first 4 dives (so they count 1-4). The other OW dives however are numbered 10 - 16!!!! I...

Fun little gadget the Dive Manager... but I have some annoyances with it that I wonder if anyone's got a solution to: 1. firstly, alternative?? - is there an alternative programme compatible with Suunto? Its hard to enter info, and I don't like the printouts... 2. print-outs (the info) -...

Hi all, Anyone knows if there are any dive centres in Luanda, or where I can dive in Angola? I'll be travelling there for business soon. Thanks!
