If you are in U.K. get down to Malta or Red Sea to get your dive count up first. You have dived in very benign conditions so far on Koh Tao it would be great to get more experience in a couple of locations before you are on a boat doing 4 plus dives a day in a variety of conditions. You will...

Is that because the pilots aren’t all white and speak funny languages? I am very concerned flying US carriers, aged aircraft. Aged air crews, aged engineering professionals and a preference for Boeing planes. Although saying that Indo airlines are the ones I avoid, even Garuda was banned from...

My vote is Barbados good diving, great top side bars and restaurants and not on the hurricane track

Have a look at the Izu pensisular a couple of hours from Tokyo and Mikimoto should definitely be on your list, as in October you will have a great chance of hammerhead sightings https://www.mikomoto.com/en/ These guys in Tokyo will also be able to help https://www.divingtokyo.com/ Diving in...

Barbados plus hardly any americans there :)

Italian engineering in industry is actually very good. All those pills you pop where probably created on Italian machines, they are leaders in equipment supply to fmcg companies.

Who would have thought a British and Spanish bank are the trusted ATM's on an Island so full of American and so close to the USA

These are fantastic To be fair I will not dive below 40 metres with a camera in the foreseeable future so this is not an issue

Thanks Bill, you may have just saved me £1000 plus, or allowed me to buy a macro lens as well as wide angle at the outset, so if I go that route I owe you a real IPA. Our friends on water pixels pushed back about acrylic housings and almost all were refunding nauticam and a metal case was...

I would love to dive in California but would need to go in incognito as the punters from the pub might take a contract out on if they know I am in their manor

Unfortunately I would need to pay duty and shipping from backscatter unless I can get a trip to the USA

Camera is still under debate, but probably either a Sony 6600 / 6700 or Olympus om-1

Thanks Bill, price of isotta is substantially cheaper and port availability looks ok. Overall it looks like over £1000 cheaper for Dome, vacuum, trigger and housing including flights to Europe to pick it up

I actually quite liked seeing it / diving in it as it was a not something I had witnessed at scale before, I have seen thermoclines before and this was different. It did freak out one guy on the dive who sucked his tank in a matter of minutes after it hit, I stayed diving in it for 20 plus...

I was unsure whether it was a thermocline, but was definitely a strong localised cold water upwelling which occurred suddenly as the tides were changing. I though it was caused by El Nino and the associated strongly positive Indian Ocean Dipole that is occurring this year which causes an...

Having done day boats and liveaboards from koh Lak, liveaboards are the way to go. It is a shame that you got bad visibility and large crowds as both those locations are fantastic

Trying to firm a new set up for an upgrade from a tg-6, have short listed either an Isotta or Nauticam housing that I will build a rig around and it would be great if I can get some real world feedback from users on both housings Isotta Advantages / disadvantages Cheaper Cost User...

Photos of a thermocline and upwelling of sand/cold water. It took me from 20 metres to 8 metres in a minute and water temp dropped by 6 c, we could see the sand coming as a wave, fish swam away and took about 20 mins before we cleared it. DM said he had only seen this once before at the site

Good to know you are racist explains a lot If you understood anything about Russia you would know that the people do not live in a democracy, by your standards we should be blaming you for the treatment of Tibetans and the Uyghurs Thread locked until further notice

What is disgusting about Russians? Is it just a form of prejudice and racism that you are exhibiting here central’s?
