    M/V Tillis (Dive Pro Liveaboard)

    Take a room with direct access outdoor. Ask them about the fire alarms before going and request guarantee; tell them you would rather cancel otherwise. They will of course tell you that everything is fine but ask for specifics (number of alarm, extinguishers, life jacket, life boat). Once on...

    Mares Puck 4 runs Buhlmann with GF

    technically it allows up 3 minute of deco violation by 1 m before locking (described on their manual) but then again, if you plan to violate the computer reco; why to have it at all? same for "non locking computer"; using the sat graph to second guess if the deco can be skipped or not is not...

    Mares Puck 4 runs Buhlmann with GF

    Ok this needs debunking. So taking a step back what are makes a computer "safe"? 1- it is working and is solide enough that it won't break mid-dive On this point, beside few black ship, all the computer out there are safe 2- the model used is safe Well, nonetheless all the buhlmann...

    Mares Puck 4 runs Buhlmann with GF

    The puck is one of the best computer on the market imo. It does it's job and is nearly undestructible. It is very cheap (at least in its current version); is able to catter to nitrox & change of gas; and has big screen. Everytime I meet some recreational diver with an overpriced/over qualified...

    Complaint about recent diving experience.

    Well... No skill in confined is definitely a breach of standard. If the shop is PADI or agencies alike; then yes you should file a complain on their website. It won't do much though; they are not enforcing, especially for money making shops. Another more effective way is to name and shame...

    New to diving, looking to get some information on the theoretical side.

    Right. I ve no direct experience with the local federation tough. Generally speaking I find cmas federations to be a good compromise between the very lax padi&co, and the die hard, somewhat close minded, dir

    New to diving, looking to get some information on the theoretical side.

    If you're in Belgium, you should get your training from there, I guess you will easily find a cmas club. They tend to focus a lot more than padi&co on teaching fundamentals. It might take more time to reach your first certification but you will likely be a better diver

    I need recommendation on a good Octo holder.

    Best solution imo is just a small piece of bungee around one your BDC strap. Beside being cheap; it also hola your second stage much better (it doesn't dangle, and the second stage doesn't get out by itself) while being easier to remove than most plastic stuff you will find out ther

    DAN Responds

    Could niy have said it better. The fact is that other similar cases have been highlighted in the video comments and that it seems it isn't an isolated incident. Somewhere in the past few years DAN Lost their commitment to quality and they are now paying for it. I do not think that I will ever...

    Jeddah Saudi Arabia is currently where I am staying for two days. I'd like to get a one hour dive in. Any recommendations on spots?

    Without rental 15 to 25 sar. Some places do not let you take your own tank. Spear fishing is increasingly seen by law enforcement as something consequencial. It has been a while I saw someone spearfish...
