    Dive Computer advice please

    Can recomment the Mares puck pro, it does everyting one really needs, incl. nitrox and altitude, and costs under 200 USD, sometimes 150USD only. I also started with tables, got a computer when started diving again in 2018, and sometimes do deco diving up to nearly 60m with it. Works perfectly...

    Anyone with diving experience from Greg's Wall, Radama Archipelago, Madagascar?

    Not sure what you call low visibility, but we had always at least 15-20m if not more. That was in March and April though each time (we have been three times so far).

    Too shallow to get narced?

    Often when descending down to a wreck one descends quite quickly along a line and with the head down, then when at the wreck, pulls head up quite fast - this actually provokes narcosis more easily than if the same diver would descend vertically feet down head up and a bit more slowly, so even if...

    Lightweight second stages?

    I dive the C370 which I purchased for low weight for travel resons - but since I use that, the few times I do use any other, it feels super heavy now. Can really recommend. Though I have no clue on TMJ, I would try it out (rental?)

    He unavailable - DeepAir again?

    DAN Europe Bronze is up to 40m on air. DAN Europe Silver is up to 60m on air (if certified) up to 130m for any technical diving. In the FAQs section it specifically says: “Will I be covered if I plan a dive using a partial pressure of oxygen of 1.6ATA?” Yes, you will be covered since the gas...

    Pet peeves of SCUBA diving

    That arrogant look many athletic muscled young men give middleaged female me when they watch me dragging my tank on the boat (especially if they don´t help). I do enjoy the look on their faces though when we have to give our dive parameters and I was 20m deeper for 20 minutes longer than them...

    Trip Report Zanzibar Diving Poseidon

    Oh thanks for these photos, they are really great! What camera do you use? My camera died at the start of our trip so I am really happy to see these as souvenirs and I confirm we saw all those as well. I really like the leaf, frog and crocodile fishs, there are lots and I never saw so many...

    Looking for help for person scared by Discover Scuba experience

    I am backing up KatieMac "try caribbean, lots of coral, lots of nice fish" I have looked up that crater you dive in and whilst I would find that interesting now I would have never started there or continued diving: too dark, too closed up, a bit spookey. Try warm water (most women get colder...

    Red Sea Diving Safari Marsa Shagra Marsa Nakari Wadi Lahami

    I have been to Marsa Shagra in 2018 it is great. Best house reef I ever saw and interesting boat dives such as Elphinstone, the site where you can nearly always see a Dugong, and Dolphin reef. But really the house reef is so interesting one can just stay there most times. Food is also great. We...

    Trip Report Zanzibar Diving Poseidon

    Hi Jaan, Really loved it at Poseidon, I can recommend! Mnemba was also great, Poseidon go there also, like once or twice a week, a bit upon request. You pay a bit more but then you don't need to change hotel/guest house, and it includes a lunch. My favorite site was Shane reef, just incredible...

    UAE East Coast Temperatures

    Oh I certainly have my eyes on Oman but I am more of a slow traveler and would certainly need at least 3 weeks of real vacation there (just the northern part) to see all I would like to above and below sea level! So that will be another time and guess more after covid (vaccination). I have a...

    Trip Report Zanzibar Diving Poseidon

    Hi CD! Normally Diving Poseidon do two dives per day, as a double tank, and I believe most centers do if I remember well my research before I left. They leave at 8 or 8:30 depending where they go exactly, and return around 12 or 14 (latter when going to Mnemba island which is further away and...

    UAE East Coast Temperatures

    Thanks for the fast and replies! I do prefer clubs that carry the tanks on the boat as I am not very strong and have a fragile back and won't be taking my sons with me either (poor guys have A-level exams in June). Do you have to take out your tanks with divers down as well or only your own...
