No luck, still nothing. Needs to go in and be looked at.

I have a YS-D2 so I can check. I think I have tried this but it will do no harm to try again.

My battery leaked on my Sea and Sea YS-D1 I rinsed it out as soon as I got back to my room and it worked for another few dives. However it stopped. I have been unable to get any answer to my queries for a service center in the far east. Any help with a contact email, phone, address would be...

Did you go diving? If so who with and what were your thoughts? Thinking of going up the west coast. Thanks in advance

First mass tourism has had a negative impact on the Malaysian islands. Redang seems to be the most impacted with 2 and 3 day trips from Singapore. In some ways it feels like a Butlins holiday camp or spring break in Florida if you are from the USA. Perhentian is much more laid back and if...

On the Veo 3.0 the battery cover is inset into the casting. From the videos, blogs, etc they don't explain that the cover sits in not over the housing meaning that there is a join between the two close to the outside. Now that I have removed it I can see that it might be possible to do as you...

Tried the prying trick being very gentle and it did not budge. I read on another thread that it was a partial vacuum. Using steam from an old fashioned kettle to warm the compartment and off it popped. Now I just need to hope that no water entered anything important and it fully dried out...

I am trying to change the battery on my Oceanic VEO 3.0. I have removed the black cover plate. The semi clear battery cover will not move. I have tried to warm up gently with a hair drier but no luck. I am in Langkawi Malaysia so returning it to a dealer or Oceanic is not very practical. Any...

My wife and I are looking for recommendations for Koh Lipe. Thinking of visiting in November, yes this month. We will be coming from Langkawi and staying for 3 to 5 days. All suggestions welcome. Victor

Predictive text for lump read Lupa.

Lump, Pete. These dates might be ok for me. I would prefer to stay a few days Moe to ensure at least 2 days at sipadan.

Thanks for the report, makes interesting reading. Looking for a dive break as shortly after Eid, maybe July. Possibly back to Perhentian or Tenggol would be somewhere new, Decisions Decisions.

Please be patient and get some dives under your belt before you take a camera and strobe and add that to your task load. You have not told us what conditions you will be diving in, tropical, pacific, lake, etc. Taking photographs under water requires you to get very close to your subject...

Looking forward to your trip report (hint hint) where are you staying etc? Thanks Victor

Thanks Chris I will drop him a message Victor

I am looking for an instructor for my grown up daughter in Brisbane. She is a confident swimmer however not that comfortable in the sea. I am trying to persuade her to do her Open Water over a couple of weeks rather than a weekend crash course in Bali or Thailand. There may be a two or more in...

We have a few days stopover in Abu Dhabi at the end of September. Half day diving would be great. Is there any point in packing the dive computer? Not looking to dive the aquarium and I am not hauling the camera housing etc. A nice gentle dive good visibility and some coral would be great. If...

Kevin Did you go to Lang Tengah or Tengoll? If so what were your thoughts? I am in Malaysia and these were a possibility for a season ending dddive. Thanks Victor

Book a refresher in warm clear water. Your skills will come flooding back and your enjoyment of the beauty that is underwater.
