Has anyone used this mask and could give me an honest review? I heard that they scratch easily

I am planning to buy this mask, has anyone used it and could give me an honest review? I heard the mirrored lenses scratch easily.

Hi there, I am planning to get my Nitrox license in the summer and am wondering if there are any good dive stores in Palermo that someone can vouch for. How is the diving there in general? Is it worth it?

Hi everyone, I am looking for recommendations on what equipment I should buy next, I have been getting mixed recommendations from friends, so I would like to ask this forum and see what you guys think. So far I already have my: 1. Mask 2. Boots 3. Fins 4. Dive Comp Would help if you guys can...

That’s a fair point there are good divers out there with only 50 dives, and I’ve also personally seen divers with over 200 dives with 0 buoyancy and wrecks the coral reef. Although I do feel my skills are decent, it’s hard for me to personally gauge my abilities. I will make sure to have a chat...

Seems like GUE fundamentals is something I should look into. I’ve also heard that their training is rigorous. This will probably be my next target since I already have my deep diver specialty planned for this May. @Wibble you mentioned that prices for helium are going up. How much do Tec dives...

I usually just wear my contacts when I dive, so far I’ve had no problem diving with them on, I’ve even opened my eyes underwater to “test” this without a mask on and neither of my lenses have fallen off (though I don’t recommend opening them for too long). Just make sure to bring your glasses on...

I always keep a bottle of nasal decongestant handy on the dive boat. I don’t generally dive in cold waters, but I do have a lot of sinus issues. They tend to occur at random, some days are fine, sometimes they act up randomly on my 3rd or 4th dive of the day. I use iliadin nasal decongestant and...

There are pretty good dive centres on the East Coast of Malaysia for Tec diving, though I will most likely do my Tec course abroad, probably Thailand or Indonesia. I assume my time doing Intro to Tec will be accredited for when I do the actual Tec course?

I currently only use single tanks, as for my gear: BC: Dive Rite Hydro Lite Reg: Aqualung Legend Comp: Suunto D5 Fins: ScubaPro Seawing Nova I would like to eventually get into all the tec dives mentioned, however, my current goal is to venture into deep ocean dives

I have always wanted to do Tec diving ever since I started scuba diving. I am currently rescue certified with over 70 dives, and I am also dry suit certified. I would say my skills such as buoyancy and finning are pretty decent. I have always been curious about venturing the depths. May I get...

Thanks for that, I think I have summed my choices down to one of those. There seems to be another computer that interests me, the Mares Smart. I’ve read some reviews and they seem good but does anyone have first hand experience with this? If so, I am interested to know more about this particular...

Ignore my previous message, it seems I should stay clear of the D5 for now and look for a more efficient entry-level computer (Too many mixed reviews which has dropped my confidence in it).

Thanks for the advice! I’ve been recommended the leonardo a couple of times now. I have also heard a lot of good things with the Mares Puck Pro as an entry-level computer. As for an AI computer, it is a cool feature but I am not particularly concerned with that as of right now but if it is at a...

Thank you both for your input. Yeah makes sense because I’ve heard both sides from my own research though in my teachings, we were always taught to do the deepest dive first. But I guess I will learn more the further I progress in diving. Also want to know what are your opinions on the Suunto D5...

Yes that is very true. I will have a further look at the Deep6 and Crest. I am not particularly familiar with the computer softwares though. But I’m curious about your opinion on the Suunto D5 because I am leaning towards getting it but the mixed reviews I’ve read have made me hesitant.

Hahahah tell me about it, I’ve lived in the UK and diving in a dry suit is almost mandatory as the water gets real cold there. Not sure if it gets colder than Maine though. To be honest, Aqua Lung is hugely popular in SouthEast Asia. However, aqua lung computers don’t really interest me too...

I am looking to invest in my very first dive computer. Am planning to go into tech diving one day but that will not happen for at least 2-3 years. However, I have had my eyes on the Suunto D5 as my first dive computer for a while now albeit I have seen mixed reviews about the D5. Cost-wise it...

Ok, makes sense, so as long as I have a 24 hour gap before I fly, I’ll be able to offgas the nitrogen and restart my dive profile for the next trip? (Starting again with a deep dive). Also, do you have any recommendations for a dive computer for a relatively new diver? (Planning to go into tech...

Yea I have been using a dive computer but have been renting those as I only have 30 dives under my belt and have not yet invested in my own computer. I have also been considering nitrox but I doubt it’ll do much as I’m planning to do over 20 dives through the trip, but it is something to think...
