    Zeagle Ranger -- my personal negative review

    I have to agree. I absolutely love my Ranger, but I have swapped out the stock wing for a smaller (23#?) wing for single tank diving. Basically a DIY Brigade. one of the benefits of zeagle's modular construction is that you can tweak the set-up to suit your personal preferences

    SYD - Koror travel options

    What route/airlines provide the least painful travel from Australia to Palau? it doesn't look like there is any way around multiple flights and obnoxious, middle of the night arrival/departure times.

    The Philippines are less than a 2 hour flight away, the diving and lodging are relatively cheap and some of the best diving anywhere. I lived in HK and found a trip to PG or Cebu to be very convenient and a great bang for the buck! i guess what I am trying to say is I wouldn't count out...

    Cozumel vs Puerto Galera in July

    Couldn't have said it better myself. My wife and I love love loved both Coz and PG. If you are simply looking for something new, I have to recommend PG. The bio-diversity in PG is unreal - we saw fish/nudis/inverts that were new to us on every dive of a 10 day, 3 dive/day trip. Coz has the...

I am having a hard time getting a clean answer on what permissible CO limits are for diving. A quick wiki search shows OSHA long term exposure limits at 50 ppm, DAN indicates that ambient...

    El Galleon/Manila Reservations

    Enjoy the trip - you are staying at a great place! If you have not been diving in the area before, pick up a marine life ID book, you will be blown away by the number of new critters you will find - especially nudis and other inverts.
