    Who "Fails" Open Water Scuba Certification and why

    Oh he did do private lessons for her for the later classes. We never saw her again after the second class. But i doubt that he got her to pay extra. I guess thats a difference inbetween country's/schools. Here there were no additional fees, need another pool session? Jump in, want to lend some...

    Who "Fails" Open Water Scuba Certification and why

    Freshly certified here, we got around 8 OW dives on our log right now. But i wonder if this one student even ended there course. We had a student in our OW diving course, four people in total. My gf, myself and the other guy were very serious on or course. We did 4 theory classes, eventually...

    divecomputer.eu just got even more ridiculus

    I still would try, EU=EU, poland or not. You even have enough evidence for a civil case in my opinion, would not go that way for 600€ tho. Poland is not the 'less structured' country it was 10 years ago.

    divecomputer.eu just got even more ridiculus

    As a european, i am wondering. Is it not arranged in the whole of europe that you get a 2-year guarantee after buying? This is a legal requirement as far as i know (had to search it a bit though) In short, you are in your right to send them a signed letter (or mail) (keep a copy) and demand a...

    Thermal class vs neoprene thickness

    Hello there, My significant other and myself being newly certified divers are gathering all our equipment. My girlfriend bought a 7,5mm wetsuit at Decathlon during her OW course, since she could not find a good fit in the rental collection. We figured a 7,5mm would do since we are diving in...

    Two foreigners arrested for taking selfie video with marine animals

    Good for them. The thread title is a bit misleading tho. #clickbait It is not the fact that they made "selfie(ish) video's" that got them arrested, it is the fact they annoyed the fish, and touched them without good reasons. Are "selfie videos" a thing now? I got to get myself a gopro and...

    Help me understand the different BCD types.

    Well look at that, Mark must have read your question (nah, he's been polling for interests lately, your not unique in your questions:snorkel:) I watched this yesterday, and thought it quite fits this thread. Tho BP/W masterrace is kept out of the equasion for once, since everyone knows what...

    Non scuba deaths but request for information

    I'm sorry for your loss. It always seems so obvious not to swim into current, not to leave the boat unmanned and such. But the fact is you will never know what your doing wrong, until its too late. Here in the Netherlands this year there has been a unusual high number of deaths because of rip...

    Jaw surgery /Osteotomy and diving

    Thanks for your thoughts. I think it would indeed be a good idea to get comfirmation on the healing process of the bone itself via Xray.

    Jaw surgery /Osteotomy and diving

    Hey everyone, Just wondering, i am having a osteotomy of the jaw in three weeks, to get the lower jaw repositioned for medical reasons. Basicly they cut the jaw on both sides, moving it around and bolting it together. The general advise is two weeks not to put pressure on the jaws (no biting...

    Hover Tigullio 52 inflator replacement

    It is indeed 50eu, but it is also the only backinflate bcd i can find for under 350 euro's, and i'm not gonna pay 350 for a second hand since a mares XR single tank goes for 499 brand new. But it is not as simple as cutting the inflator of, replace it with a new one that fits the corrogated...

    New to the board, new to scuba diving

    I know how that feels, should have been heading to Australia in a week or two for a 5 week trip... But atleast the water in the Netherlands is quite nice right now...Visibility is over 3metres on most spots, which is fairly good.
