Hey wonderful peeps! Quick reply lang po for my 2 questions, about to go out na po kasi pa-Makati:
1. Saan po malapit sa Pasay Road yung Nautilus shop? ANo po landmarks?
2. Ano ano pong mga dive shops around Makati? Tsaka kung pwede na rin yung address.... magpa-panic buying lang po ako ng gears.

Ooops, sorry guys - away from scubaboard for a few days!
as far as the Halcyon gear goes I couldn't quote you from memory but I'd expect the prices to be pretty close to what you'd get in the US, Phils etc. As far as I'm aware, Halcyon controls prices - even with international distributors. You might want to try 'Prodive Hong Kong' in Wan Chai. It's one of the better known shops and I know that they do sell halcyon, oms and some other 'tech' gear. In general, try for at least 20% off sticker prices, maybe 30% and if you are a real smooth talker (and have done some business with them in the past) you may get even better deals.
I'll give an example - last year i bought a new reg set up
SP Mk16
G250HP
R180
SP mini spg
Total cost - $426
Not sale prices, just with a discount for doing past business with the shop. Anyone want to go into the grey market business?

Wow Im so excited to go to Dive zone . . saw it on my way home. The signage is pretty big you won't miss it when you're passing by Julia Vargas. It's beside Elorde Boxing Gym, near Tiananmen and Next Door Bar. I thought they were open na kanina with the lights and all, but I saw some staff hanging wetsuits and arranging merchandise. Hope that they got some great cheap stuff over there.
