    Singapore/Kota Kinabalu Mask Search

    Hello fellow SIN/Sabah divers, I'm headed for Kapalai later in the week and will get 1 full day in SIN and 1 in KK enroute to Tawau and Kapalai. I've been on the hunt for that just right mask (since my favorite old one retired early last year). As a result I now have a mask collection...

    What c-card do you show on vacation?

    Rather than have a padi card available, for fun I'll show an IANTD Rebreather card if asked. That usually gets the same reaction as the previous 'tech wreck card' post. Some padi folks are completely befuddled by that. I'm a IANTD and padi DM and like to enjoy my dives as most possible when I...

    Why would you not buy a Draeger Dolphin?

    RBs obviously are not for everyone. I recently finished my IANTD Dolphin cert and dives and really liked it. I like mechanical things but can sometimes feel overwhelmed w/tech stuff. The Dolphin is pretty straight fwd and I like using the ppo2 unit in addition to a wrist computer as a...

    Hiya, my name is Greg and I have recently signed up on the SB. Have been diving for several years and recently finished DM training for both IANTD and padi. Those were great personal accomplishments but I'll have to say that I really like my Dolphin Drager (IANTD) cert and training dives...
