Suunto may remove this from their sub-forum, but here‘s a go ... Yes, you can. You have to ‘bend‘ it. Put the computer into deco then surface it without clearing. It‘ll ‘lock you out‘ ie. provide no NDL, track O2, give SS time, etc. It WILL continue to give you depth, time (in whole mins.), and...

I think my Manta Jr. is the bee‘s knees, but likely more reel than you currently need. Jim‘s suggestions are probably spot on. I must add that I use a reel when necessary, but opt for the simplicity of a finger spool if it will do the job. By clipping a double ender to your line once your bag...

My head is spinning. Seriously, I‘ve always believed “there‘s more than one way to skin a cat“, and so I‘m at the moment filling my bathtub .... and ... looking for a cat. I dig the Halcyon closed bags, too. Use the orangle 40 lbs. and yellow 6 lbs. SMB, and waiting for the 85 lbs. lift bag on...

:) Here are some words I‘ve posted on the subject over the past few years. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/philippine-paradise-divers/463576-evolution-malapascua-dp.html?highlight=Evolution+malapascua...

It would surprise me if you required any additional weight given the wetsuit(s) you listed as wearing, but some of us are fatter than others, and let‘s face it, we all float differently. The buoyant shift on two aluminum tanks could be enough to upset your ease at a shallow stop if your pressure...

If I had to ask myself this question, I‘d go out and buy better stuff. I‘ve sent you PM with contact details if you‘re interested in a buddy in Taiwan.

I hummed and hawed over this super deal for a few days before convincing my wife she‘d like to get me an early Xmas present. I regularly dive doubles, but am looking forward to replacing my jacket BCD on those rare days when I‘d use it. Apparently the sale price was too sweet to resist for...

Couldn’t have said it better myself, so .... man that redundancy is really nice to have.

Discover Scuba Diving participants, not students, and definitely not ‘divers‘. We can see in the 5th video you posted that Craig is bringing one girl back down to depth against a current. Now I‘m not a professional diver, but if I were, I‘d not like to be in the unfortunate position of...

I echo Makhno‘s sentiments concerning your commitment to the conservation of the ocean environment. Each of us should keep in mind that our actions have longlasting effects on the health and beauty of the reefs and subsequent fish populations. As a diver living permanently in Taiwan...

I‘m saddened to hear this devastating news, and can only say how much I wish for it not to be true. Unreal. In my four years on this board, Lynne has always shown herself to be the most generous, kind, and thoughtful person. I‘m sure she exhibited just as much care and grace in all...

We used MultiDeco to plan our AN/DP dives and contingency schedules, and ran them on slates. Both myself and buddy used bottom timers and backups, instructor had bt and pdc. When it came time to return for Ext. Range and Trimix (same instructor and buddy) we followed the same protocol. I...

What you‘re describing, the steel one, is not the ‘oral inflate‘ model, but the LPI. I couldn‘t agree more, I have a 4.5ft/1.4m and think it‘s just the bee‘s knees, too. To the best of my knowledge, they still make the 3.3ft/1m in either oral OR low pressure...

You have a load of time to complete OW locally before your travels. Another option would be to arrive as a certified diver and enjoy yourself at any of the locations listed above. Or Malapascua.

Although not ‘standard‘, I was taught to shoot an orange DSMB when leaving the bottom (or first switch), and that a yellow was reserved for emergencies. We trained with lost gas drills and had spares sent down the line from the boat upon request. One 40 lb. orange One ~20 lb. yellow

These regs were the first I bought about 5 years ago. No complaints so far, and although I normally dive something else now, I often lend these out to a friend or two.

I‘ve seen many a DM candidate schleppin‘ tanks on and off boats, rinsing and sorting gear, and performing ‘unpaid‘ guiding services on all the early a.m. or night boats that paid staff didn‘t want. ‘Free lunch‘ it wasn‘t, but a fair deal for both...

My take was the OP is still abroad, hence the 2 month timeline. If this is the case, I can understand his inquiry - I found myself on beautiful Thai beaches shortly after becoming certified, and wondered if a DM internship wouldn‘t be best for me, too. 3-4 dives a day for 2 months for...

:rofl3: OK, I‘ll be the first to agree - there is a hell of a lot better diving in Asia, and it ain‘t all that difficult to access from Taiwan. But we have great sites here, too. Having now done multiple Green Island and Kenting trips over the past 5 years, I can say that our southern diving...

It took a good long time to plan and make happen, but this February past I returned to Malapascua for the next phase of my tech training at Evolution. Here‘s a link to a report from the original trip if you‘re really interested ...
