    Member's Photo Gallery

    can anyone tell me what this thing is? The picture was taken at Sodwana Bay, South Africa about 15 meters down, on a night dive. It is roughly 30cm long.

    Sailing and diving in South East Asia

    very nice man, I am trying to get funds to do the same thing. I have been diving from age 12 and done a skippers coruse. You have just made me very sad that I am still so far away from this.

    s.a help needed!

    I am from DBN, but moved up to JHB about 2 years ago. I have done more diving while being in JHB and I ever did in DBN :) crazy I know. I dont think the crime is too bad, this is crime, but if you use your common sence you can avoid it. From JHB you have ponta, sodwana & DBN not too far...

    Scuba Diving without Air Tanks?

    ok, now I have to ask. Is this one of these ideas that sounds good, but will eventually cause problems with the sea life? To use the oxygenated sea water for the use of us humans (who should not be in the water), and therefore taking the use away from the animals who rely on the oxygenated sea...

    Mechanical BC's - is it possible?

    it seems like a good idea, but need to ask. If it was simple and/or possiable why dont submarines use a system like this? By your theory this would stop the bubble noise subs make venting their balast.

    mares nemo wide

    my better half and I both have the nemo steel and the USB download cable. we love it and have had over 130 dives on them. They work very well. I dont see why the wide would be any different, I must say that I prefer the reg watch style than the wide.

    Padi EFR and DAN O2 provider

    I have done Naui Adv Rescue, ASHI First Aid, DAN 02 provider & marine life injuries. I cant say anything about Padi EFR, but if it is anything like the other Padi coruses, you would do better not doing it. But the DAN coruses are great, but to get the most out of them, you really need a...

    LDS Dive Trip

    If your LDS is cleaver they will be getting STO rates which are somewhere between 5 - 25% less than Joe Public can get, so going with them should normaly be cheaper, if its not they are either ripping you off or there are other things included, like local tours, dives, air travel etc... just...

    New Website.....about time ;)

    why o why do people still use frames???? I am hoping that this is your own effort and that you are in the scuba business and not a web designer/developer and if you have paid someone for this, they did a piss poor job of giving you guidance.

    Instructor

    I have done about 120 dives in a great number of diffenerent conditions and I have only just started my DM coruse. I would suggest to anyone to get as much exposure to differnet teaching styles, conditions and the like before becoming a DM or Inst. This will make you a better DM or Inst and...

    Best time to go to South Africa

    I would suggest June/July for Aliwal as you will catch the raggies and possiably the sardine run. This time would suit all the areas, but the water will be a bit colder the further south you go. But Mozambique will be warm all year round. I would also stongly suggest you visit Sodwana Bay it is...

    What is the appropriate call on Marine VHF in these situations?

    as far as I remember from my sailing telephony exam, PAN PAN is used for any and all medical emergencies, which yours would fall under. Should you be stranded or pulled out to sea by a strong current or your kayak sinks, this is when you would call a mayday. But I agree with those who say you...
