    New Apple Watch is a dive computer

    Well, what's stopping Suunto creating an app for it? Or Aqualung? It's potentially a multi-model, multi-OS dive computer!

    Yet another 'where should I go in Asia' thread!

    Yes, sorry. Another selfish post. BUT I seek to query the wisdom of the Scubaboards! Here is my conundrum: A business trip got cancelled so I have about a week and a half free and I want to take a holiday in mid-February. I have a ton of airmiles on Cathay so Hong Kong will be my hub, (or...

    Trustfire TR-J1 review

    Oh wow that looks good. 4000 Lumens is bonkers, that can't be true, but even if it is half that it would be amazing, especially given the price.

    Stupid sounding question, but isn't

    Shop here in HK sells Halcyon backplate for $325.

    Stupid sounding question, but isn't

    Chaps, What is there difference between a $60 backplate and a $300 backplate? Surely both are just a drilled and formed sheet of Aluminium or steel? I am thinking of buying an aluminium one online and I just can't for the life of me understand what the price difference could refer to... Thx!

    Biochemical Decompression

    The paper is about Hydrogen, but the paper also states that the same principles can be applied to Nitrogen. I know it is slightly 'Star Trek' but how cool is this approach? Really bringing different scientific fields together to solve an issue.

    Biochemical Decompression

    Anyone heard of it? Sounds like a fascinating avenue of research. Basically it is the use of specially engineered bacteria introduced into your gastrointestinal tract that work to munch up any and all nitrogen (or other diving gases) in your bloodstream. Apparently the US Navy are researching...

    Recommendations needed -- 10 to 12 days from Hong Kong to Cebu

    I fly Cebu Pacific Air - It's time everyone flies as it is cheap. Evolution in Malapascua and Magic Island on Moalboal are one stop shops, dive ops/resorts. As for AC, that is really up to you, re you the type to be bale to put up with just a ceiling fan? I like my AC. :-)

    Palau diving in Dec - but based on shore?

    Ok, so I just booked my entire stay with Sam's. Going to Peleliu would have meant missing a day's worth of diving. I'll post pics!

But since I am not in the military, I have fewer than some! Australia Austria Belgium China (PRC) Hong Kong (It has it's own...

    The Scuba Snobs' Guide to Diving Etiquette

    Amazon sell shark products? This is terrible. And easily remedied - Buddhasummer: you should start a facebook page to gather people to complain about them. I would join such a protest page, and I am sure EVERYONE else here would too!
