damn it what did i miss

-STI an Asian who too can swim Still doesn't hide the fact that it sounds absolutely like stereotyping (trying not to use the R word) an entire race based on what your 'mentor' believes says. With that being said, i live in Asia and about 30% (which is far from "most") of the Asians i know...

thats a tiny SPG!

NGL this is so so true.

"nahhh its too dark, we cant risk hitting her with our vessel on the surface at night and potentially killing her. lets just wait till tomorrow which decreases her chance of survival several folds"

Nothing helpful to add but all the best of luck to Tim and his family!

Indeed, its very common here in SEA to take a lax'ed stance on situations like these not to mention it is the month of Ramadhan as well. Sad to hear but oh so true.

Malaysia, nuff' said.

Knowing the standards of Malaysian authorities and gov bodies, Im pretty sure this will be swept under the rug considering the public backlash faced by the MMEA. I mean IMHO if the authorities has to come out to justify their own actions and its members blaming the victims family instead, you...

did you get to keep the money though! i guess thats compensation for all the effort you put in trying to find it :P

find a buddy who is a smaller size than you so you can carry them with ease :D

Hey lads, anyone know of any reputable and reasonably priced dive shops based in the UK and is able to ship outside the EU? Similarly it could be anywhere in the EU that ships outside of the EU. Dont have to me brand specific shops or anything. As far as i know SimplyScuba doesn't ship outside...

CANADIAN S POWER!!!!!!!!

I am still on edge with expensive reels/spools. i am too inexperienced to realise what the difference between a cheap one and an expensive one except for maybe the mechanism and length of the reel :P

I did not perceive the aforementioned as zero to hero until I read several posts within this thread. The real funny part is I do not condone this after seeing many doing the OW>Instructor jump but to my dismay, it's basically what I am doing right now which was not evident to me before the post...

There was some details left out on my original post as I did not expect the severity of the case in hand at the time. It was all explained and the rationale has changed since the first post was made. Just to clarify I have CCR certified with my own unit, my 100 Tec dives was from a tec40 cert...

I would not have the peanuts to go right up to CCR, doing the full cave is already disconcerting enough let alone the CCR bit. I've heard of plenty reckless rec instructors and some Tec ones but haven't heard of many cave instructors doing so. I always believed that due to the high risk and...

At first I knew the cave courses were hard and brutal but I failed to realise that the leap between cavern and cave was so drastic that it garnered such a reaction from the community. From all the comments, concern and doubt over here I will be treading extremely lightly, I won't say that I'll...
