  1. "What is that!?"

    by , July 3rd, 2011 at 11:44 AM (Diving in the Philippines)
    A month or two ago I was teaching a frenchman his PADI advanced open water course. Let’s call him Jerome. Now Jerome was a pretty good diver already with lots of dives under his belt, and honestly, he mostly took the advanced course to avoid hassle when he wanted to dive deeper than the eighteen meters allowed by his PADI open water license. As he was already quite familiar with both deep diving and navigation, we agreed to do what the course outline required us to do, but to put a heavy ...

  2. So now you are doing your open water dives

    by , July 7th, 2011 at 05:08 PM (DivemasterDennis-)
    This weekend I will be part of team leading 24 new divers through their open water dives to certification as new divers, and as I know we have a lot of new divers in training who read scubaboard, I'd like to share a few suggestions with you to make your experience smoother and more enjoyable.

    1.Check all you gear a day or two before the dive, to be sure you have everything, everything is working properly and everything fits properly. Put stuff on, especially rented exposure gear. ...

  3. Brainless, puzzling and wonderful

    by , July 18th, 2011 at 07:04 AM (Diving in the Philippines)
    We all know them, the odd, ugly sausage shaped monstrosities that slowly wiggle their way across our dive sites (No, not fat guys in speedos). Most divers encounter them in one shape or another on all their dives, which I suppose is only fitting considering sea cucumbers live in all seas and, as far as we know, at all depths.

    A while back, while teaching a PADI course in the Philippines, I decided that I should really start taking more of an interest in some of the more inanimate animals ...

  4. Crowley's Blog - A Letter Home

    by , November 10th, 2011 at 12:19 PM
    I am still a social network refusenik, for reasons which are hinted at in this post. I suppose I will have to sign up eventually, but I prefer instead to send long, rambling (no surprise there), group e-mails to the various remaining members of my family with whom I am inclined to communicate, the few good friends I actually have (quality not quantity), and some other folk that occasionally write long rambling e-mails in return. It's a little bit more personal than normal, but neither special nor ...

  5. Crowley's Blog - A Day Trip to Thistlegorm

    by , November 27th, 2011 at 10:00 AM
    It's 4.30 am and the nerve-jangling herald from my mobile phone is the first thing that drifts into my consciousness. Only half awake, I feel myself drifting back towards the land of nod until 5 minutes after hitting the snooze button, I am reminded that I set two alarms for my wake-up call on the morning of our trips to the wreck of the SS Thistlegorm, a 3.5 hour boat ride from Sharm El Sheikh.

    After a short shower, feeding Lyra and scooping her poop out of the litter tray, my portable ...
