Oh, I guess I had heard the opposite about Thailand. Any place in particular you can recommend?

So far I've found one place in SE Asia (Tulamben) where you can hire cylinders/weights and self-cater your shore diving, without having to take along a guide. Are there any other places you know of? I had this discussion with 2 other well-traveled instructors over Christmas and we couldn't...

Moderator : This post is NOT intended to be a direct items for sale ad as I know those belong in the classifieds section; rather, I am trying to spread the word to divers in Japan, who can then contact me for more information. A vast majority of ads in the classifieds are for US-based sellers...

I have 1 Brand New Men's Pinnacle Merino Arctic 7/5mil semidry, size Medium-Large (ML) for sale in the Tokyo area. This is Western sizing, NOT Japanese sizing. The suit was originally purchased from the US. This suit has never been worn in a swimming pool, fresh water, or the ocean! Suit has...

Yeah, I've got a 35 pounder already-- I bought a used Escape myself. (^^)

I just sent you a PM, in the case that you don't check those.

This is probably a long shot, but would someone have a Zeagle Ranger bladder they'd be interested in selling? If so, please send along a PM with number of dives and a price. I use Paypal.

Yes, it does-- thanks! I'll confirm with the course director to be sure, but I'm guessing then that we can expect around 26C then, because the air temps are still warm.

I'll be at Sabang in November, and I'm wondering what the approximate water and air temperatures will be. I've done some Google searching, but seem to be coming up with variations in answers. Some say water temps of 26C, others say closer to 22C. Would 25C be a good guess? As far as air...

What brand are these, and I'm assuming all sizes?

That's a good point. I've also been told that semidrys are a matter of breaking them in, too. So once you've put it on and taken it off a few times it will start to become more stretchy, making it easier.

I've just purchased a semi dry of sorts too (the Pinnacle Arctic, which technically isn't a semi dry but does have semi dry seals). The first time I put it on, or tried to, it really sucked. However, once I put on my lycra suit, it was heaps easier the second time. So maybe get yourself a...

Or try Ebay. There is a PADI Instructor who has an Ebay store. I forget their Ebay name, but just go to the scuba, and then books, and you'll find them.

Mmm... as far as differences, I'd say probably location is all. I've not been to Musandam yet, but for resorts you may check out Al Sawadi Beach Resort. Muscat is a nice city, though-- worlds different from Dubai. I might recommend going south to see Muscat, in which case you could go to...

Congratulations! I have to admit, my colleague and I have tried this once, and it didn't go too well.

I've sent you a PM about this suit.

Transportation. Well, you can either get a package deal which takes you from Manila to Batangas via public transportation (I forget who exactly, but I think you can find out about it in the Lonely Planet), and then the ferry. Better yet, though, why not just ask the resort to arrange this for...

Yes, that's the actual name for the project-- Underwater Something-Something. Sounds quite mysterious and appealing, doesn't it? ;)

Yeah, but look at it this way-- you could always teach in your spare time. I'm doing this because I want to, and I'll also be working in service to my diving club. If I wanted to teach outside the club, I've also had no less than 3 people come up to me while wearing a diving t-shirt here and...

A minor thing with output... now if you could work diving in there somehow, you'd be golden. I dunno re. getting the OWSI certificate. I'm kind of like you-- I've got a full-time job, and scuba is a hobby. I'm looking into it because I'm a member of a dive club here, and we need...
