For a couple who wants to dive and chill Sipadan-Kapalai is my vote. its on its own - dose not have mosquitoes - also dose not have aircon but we didn't need it because of the ocean breeze. (i am one of those folks who ALWAYS needs aircon) I guess if you want a younger crowed - perhaps more of...

Its coming on low season. tell them you can confirm if they dont charge the supplemental rate. I assume you are paying US $ as apposed to special rates that locals or SG folks pay.

Sorry to hear of your experience. this is the second time i've heard of handbag snatches by thieves on bikes in the city area. Last year my collegue had hers snatched walking with a group of friends on bukit bintang.

I bought a new Princeton Tec SW for a dive trip in December. Shockwave LED | Princeton Tec Before traveling, I tested it at home - open enclosure - took out the cardboard - check batteries - switched on & off, checked the o-ring etc. Seemed fine so I put the cardboard back in and packed it...

Im back from 9 days of diving in Malaysia, logged around 30 dives, I kept the tektite in my BC pocket for 9 days. No issues with leakage at all. Even with the dive crew banging my BC around while swapping tanks, stacking BC's on top of each other and my fumbling about for my SMB during saftey...

Hi Folks, My wife and I stayed at Kapalai Dive resort (also known as Sipadan-Kapalai-Dive-Resort SKDR) a few weeks back. (About Kapalai) I thought i'd post some feedback with our diving experience during our stay. Let me start by saying the resort is great, food is very good, staff are...

My wife and I are sitting on the deck of the sipadan-kapalai resort right now. I thought I would post some feedback from our experience since the 19th of December. When we arrived the resort only had 40 divers, divers on the resort could dive almost every day, definitely every second at...

Hi Folks, Has anyone been there in the last few weeks? I'm interested in the current water temp, vis, weather, etc. Any other tips would be welcome.

Hi Everyone! Every time I dive in a new location the dive group gets a very stern warning about not touching the turtles. Apart from the obvious (we shouldn't touch anything), I was wondering if there was other reasons, like they could catch a disease from humans or vice versa. I'm happy...

So i picked up my new housing. IT is new. - Just to be clear the UK distributor in Hong Kong gave me one option ONLY. Pay for a new housing.

Folks, im looking for some new diving gear in Hong Kong. Can folks recommend where they go shopping? I know of Diving Adventure in Causeway bay. pretty extensive stock but dosent carry everything I want. I live on Hong Kong island but happy to travel. Thanks!

I wore a 2mil shorty, gloves and boots most of the time. i did feel the cold one rainy afternoon and during night dives, so i put my shark suit on with a hood. much better :) If the sun was out i'm sure I would have manged fine with the shorty.

I also got back from my weeks diving trip to Peurto Galera Philippines. I bought the Tektite 200 from the dive store. Felt pretty good about this purchase, popped the batteries in and took it for a night dive. The strobe works very well at night. After our dive I turned the strobe on (after...

So I dropped into the local dive center in Causewaybay Hong Kong and showed them the light. after the entire shop had a chance to look and chuckle they called the distributor. The distributor in Hong Kong said they couldn't fix it but could provide me with a replacement housing for $200.00...

Hi Folks, Has anyone else has had the unfortunate experience of finding that their dive light was sealed tight after a dive or flight? After a trip to Cebu, I packed my Sunlight C8 eLED into my dive bag and flew home. Back at home I was going through my normal inspection of gear, when I...

Hi there, Im also planning a dive trip at the end of the year. I wanted to get an emergency strobe primarly to attract a boatmans attention or (touch wood) an air search party. Reading through the forums folks seem to prefer the IR Srobe 200 - i was wondering if this actually floats upright...
