    New A620 and questions!!

    Hi there! I also just got my A620. I'm getting the housing in a few weeks. What brand of Memory Card do you recommend (1gb)? I'm not sure what to get given the multitude of choices in the market. I just want to make sure that I'll get a good card. Thanks.

    Philippines in May

    If you'll be in the country, you shouldn't miss the best dive site in the Philippines (sharks, turtles, manta encounter, dolphins, 100 ft. vis., etc.). Accessible only by live-aboard from Feb to June, there's a trip sched from May 16-21. Let me know if you need more details. Safe diving!

    Antibiotics & Diving. Can it go together?

    thanks ssra! she's a 25 year old, reasonably fit diver. no allergies so far. will take note of the sunburn effect. will probably cover her entire body if possible. will also watch her more closely during the dive with regards to "mental status change". can you please elaborate...

    Antibiotics & Diving. Can it go together?

    It certainly answered the concerns. Yup, we'll gauge if the patient feels better in a few days. If she's able to physically handle and enjoy doing 4-5 dives a day. If not, we won't force the issue. The patient is expected to complete the 10-day antibiotic treatment, a day before day 1 of...

    Antibiotics & Diving. Can it go together?

    a friend of mine was prescribed to take an antibiotic for 10 straight days. this is meant to take out the swelling in her mouth. the thing is she's scheduled to go on a live-aboard dive trip on day 11, or a day after she completed the medication. reservations were already finalized and...

    Toshiba Dive Lights

    looked at it, inspected it. it has an o-ring but the plastic casing won't seem to last. plus there's no rubber to protect the glass (not sure if we're talking about the same toshiba model though). don't think i can use it to lead night dives. so much at stake. price-wise i think it's relatively...

    Bulbs for my UK D4

    My UK D4 (Disposable Batteries) flooded on a live aboard trip last year. I've asked this LDS where I bought this light but they don't have spare bulbs (talking about after-sales-service). Ordering bulbs from UK is out of the question since I live here in the Philippines and shipping fee...
