Incidentally, one of the big dive shops in Wanchai (just moved) is selling the Cressi Leonardo for HK$1,850 (~USD237). The Giotto is quite a bit more expensive and way out of your proposed budget.

I think you have misquoted me. If the manufacturer of your reg recommends annual service and it brings you peace of mind, then by all means. I am a recreational diver in relatively warm water who don't abuse my diving equipment nor do I take them to their extremes. I am betting on that my...

Although I too would rather spend money on diving trips than on an AI computer, these days any mid-range and better 1st stages should have 2 HP ports. For most recreational divers 4 LP ports should be more than adequate (primary 2nd stage, octo, BCD inflator host and dry-suit inflator).

Your basic questions may be answered by your instructor. I bought a set of 2nd hand Scubapro MK25/S600 a bit over 2 years ago and just serviced it myself under guidance of my instructor (who is also a highly regarded technician). I did borrow a gauge to measure the internal pressure from time...

It is believed that this is the Facebook page of the deceased. Hearsay has it that Felix's dive computer malfunctioned, and when he ascended he suffered from pulmonary barotrauma.

The DSS is a pretty complete out-of-the-box system. If you go for doubles in the future, with the ZET you'll need a new plate, a new bladder and a new set of webbing/harness, while with a DSS BP/W, all you need is a new bladder as far as the BCD is concerned.

Seeing that you are in HK, FYI Diving Express has 4 groups going to Palau by chartered direct flight during X'mas, New Year and Chinese New Year. If you are going to be land-based, then you might want to check out the packages, otherwise I'm sure DE would be happy to sell you seats on their...

I use a Sherwood Wisdom, which is an AI console. The "air/time remaining" feature looks good on paper but I would think it's as hypertech suggested, unrealistic. In my own experience, if my dive plan is as simple as descend-dive-around-until-50bar-ascend then time remaining is irrelevant. For...

I've found a report from the Sing Tao Daily (syndicated to the Sina portal) on this incident:- Sing Tao Daily piece, where Zhu's ex-wife was interviewed, and Google Translate TL;DR: Zhu was meant to dive w/ his buddy. Buddy couldn't go. Zhu drowned. Did the dive master allow Zhu...

Correction: having checked my C-card, it was actually TDI "Nitrox Diver".

I have just gotten my SDI nitrox cert this summer. Learning the tables was compulsory. Using a PDC was demoed.

I have not been to Two Fish, but only came back from NAD this Wednesday. I like NAD a lot. A/C helped us a lot in getting good sleep in this hot and humid climate, not just during the night (it does get cooler), but also during the day when we took an afternoon nap before heading out for the...
