    Diving in Vietnam?

    Hey John, the island of Cu Lao Re is not dived by any companies that I know of as it is across from Quang Ngai. The Cham Islands are a bit further north and are parallel with Hoi An and a marine park so a bit better protected. Cham Islands are dived by Blue Coral diving, Cham island divers and...

    Chinese compressor and tanks

    Talk to Scuba Supply (Vietnam), Dive supply (Thailand), Rainbow Runners (Malaysia) or one of the other regional distributors and ship it in. Wander round your local dive shops and ask them, just because your competitors doesn't mean that they are enemies. A decent tank company is shenyang gas...

    Mermaids or Aquanauts?

    As far as I know there are multiple investors/owners of mermaids. Of the ones I have met, one is an Australian and the other is of Korean features but sounded American in accent, I didn't ask him where he was from.

    Scubapro mouthpiece clamp

    As stated just go to the underside of the leaver and lift up if you cant do it with your fingers then use a flathead screwdriver to slowly lift it. Your regs might be salt encrusted a little so if you still cant open it soak it in fresh water for an hour or two and try again. I find mine easy to...

    Mermaids or Aquanauts?

    On the khram an extra 5 minutes looking into the gloom is a bit tedious. I had to stay with a customer (PADI instructor qualified) who went into deco as he had put his computer in the most conservative setting on a previous dive and forgotten. I did a safety stop at 12 metres for 3 minutes as I...

    Mermaids or Aquanauts?

    Some divemasters lead in different ways, on different dive sites and with different customers. Some days I am a dive leader and try and lead customers like sheep to different dive sites so that they can tick off boxes in their head of what they have seen. Other times I merely dawdle along...

    Employment related question - Dreadlocks

    lol RJP good equation. As stated I would like to grow dreadlocks at some point through curiosity, I think I will get my hair cut until I find a permanent position and then begin growing out my hair longer with the potential of growing dreads at a later date.

    Diving timepieces - split from A New Piece Of Diving Equipment

    I dive with a swatch fun scuba watch. It has a depth gauge and automatic dive timer which start at the beginning of your dive. It is also very good for checking and improving your dive profile as at the end of the dive it will play the dive at 60x speed (1min = 1 second) or if your free diving...

    Mermaids or Aquanauts?

    sorry to be late to the proceedings but would just like to mention many of the DM's working on the boats are infact customers the same as you guys just we are interns therefore even less well regarded. When I am a DM on the boat I try my best to make sure that we have as many dive leaders as...
