I have a SeaPro back plate and wing. The corrugated exhaust hose is broken. This is NOT the low pressure inflator hose, it is the large diameter ehaust hose. Anyone know where I can get a new one? Or a second hand one? Or how to improvise one?

The place where I had such a great time was Koh Yao Yai. If you know some good divesites at Koh Yao Noi, post them here! Include transportation details, if possible.

Yes, for contact info go to kohyaodiving.com. I would have added it, but I thought that was discouraged on SCUBABOARD. If you go there, be sure tell them you saw them on SCUBABOARD. Then I will tell the owner he needs to show some appreciation for my having posted this by giving me free...

Sipidan Island is about an hour or a little more by boat from the town of Semporna. There are no accomodations on Sipidan. You will stay in town and go out for daytrips. In Semporna, there are two places with cheap accomodations: Scuba Junkies Hostel (air con), and the Dragon Inn. The Dragon...

I just had an awesome dive trip. I live in Phuket, and I like it here, but there is traffic, noise, crowded dive sites... Then I found a new dive shop that just opened on Koh Yao. From Phuket, I took a one hour ferry ride (the dive shop made all the arrangements for me) to Koh Yao. It...

I think we all have an extra snorkel keeper and a pocket mask. What do you think makes a complete kit? Duct tape, surgical tubing, spare batteries, Gatorade, Snickers bars...you finish the list.

I was a swimming instructor for 14 years. I taught 11,000 kids and adults to swim. If you are not confident in your ability, I strongly suggest getting lessons with an instructor. I believe, unless the instructor is lousy, that you can make more progress in five hours with the feedback of...

Those links are all great. THANK YOU JonnyThan. I wonder why none of them came up when I entered "reapir BC", "repair BCD", and "repair wing" into the search box?

I have done a search, and I was surprised this hasn't come up before. I posted this question in the DIY branch, but it seems that not many people go there, so I am posting it here, too. My wing is losing air. Assuming I can find the leak, how do I fix it? Are there websites or beeks that can...

I have done a search, and I was surprised this hasn't come up before. My wing is losing air. Assuming I can find the leak, how do I fix it? Are there websites or beeks that can help? Preferred glue and patch material? Anyone done this with good results, or bad?

My first instructor suggested using spit to defog a mask. He said the way they get the commercial defog that sells for $5 bucks a bottle is to line up a bunch of convicts and make them spit into the bottles...

I hypothesize that one would bleed more slowly. It is true that water (the main component of blood) is incompressible under these conditions, but there is greater pressure surrounding and acting upon the space occupied by the blood. The blood, then, would exit the vascular system more slowly...

If there is any chance you will ever want to be a divemaster or an instructor, keep logging dives until you reach at least 100 so that you can prove you meet the PADI experience requirement. (60 for DM, 100 for OWSI)

Please let's not discourage someone from taking a class just because they don't want to employ the knowledge professionally. These classes can be a ticket to employment, but others might take them just for the satisfaction, and they should be encouraged to do so. I took a bareback riding...
