Correct. They are saying the statement on their website is in error and that they'll fix it. I am not familiar with the IDAN rules - but it is a damn shame they are not able to support us against the background of the unbelievable lack of support by DAN Japan.

Don't count on it. I got an email from the CEO of DAN Asia Pacific essentially telling me that I (a Dutch national living in Japan) can not join them, with some vague statements that I should join the DAN where I live (Japan) or maybe the European one. This was back in February. I have sent a...

After extended flights you will actually have less nitrogen (lower nitrogen partial pressure) in your body than normal so there is absolutely no issue with diving after flying. (So theoretically jumping into the water straight from the plane should give you longer NDL times) However you might...

Hi, With my wife and another couple we spent 10 days on the Philippine Siren Dec 2011-Jan 2012. We had a great time and loved all the diving. Great crew on the boat doing whatever they can to make it a good experience. I've also been on the Indo Siren before which is essentially the same boat...

Hi puncho; I've been on 4 live-aboards over the last 4 years. Three times I had to wire transfer - so to me that now seems pretty normal! Once I was given the option of PayPal but had to cover a 3% handling fee or so. From a safety point of view, my impression is that wiring money would be...

I am looking into some options for a live aboard next spring and the Adelaar (Bali-Komodo) came up on my radar. As always I did a quick search on Scubaboard to see what other peoples experiences were like, but was suprised to find none! Has anyone been on the Adelaar? How was the trip? How was...

Hi Andy, Diving off Izu (mostly west Izu for me) and some of the Izu islands (Oshima, Shikinejima) according to my logbooks average min temps at depth are around: Celsius: May 16 degC, Jun 22 deg, Jul 22, Aug 23, Sep 25, Oct 24, Nov 22, Dec 17 Fahrenheit: May 66, Jun 77, Jul 77, Aug 79, Sep 83...

Hi highdesert; The monorail to Haneda runs every couple of minutes and takes only about 15 minutes to get there from a station called "Hamamatsu-cho". The last monorail is at midnight, so until midnight you should have absolutely no problem to get to Haneda from anywhere within the central...

For me besides the basics most important are: - weighting related: exposure protection (i.e. 5mm wetsuit + hood) tank (i.e. steel 12l) weights used (say 4 kg for example) comment on whether I was properly weighted or not With this I can always go back and figure out...

Also look at the Hollis DG02. Cheap but supports nitrox, has a gauge mode, automatic altitude adjustment, backlight, deepstops etc.

Thanks shutsal. Do regular step up rings you would buy at any photography shop work fine? or is there something special about converters for underwater use?

How do you connect the Inon UCL-165 to the FIX S95 housing?

Thanks Doug. Looks like my fusion bullet package will be here in another 1-2 weeks, looking forward to diving it soon!

I realized I put out a bit of a vague question:) I don't know what measurements are used for head/hands, but head circumference: 59cm hand tip of thumb to tip of ring finger: abt 20cm hand width at knuckles: 9cm I was hoping someone who has a these gloves or hood and is happy with it could let...

Whites seems to offer a package which includes • HEAT 3mm or 5mm 5 finger gloves • HEAT Zip or Non Zip hood These seem to come in different sizes and honestly I have no idea how to choose a size. Do people have experience with these gloves/hoods?

Seems that the BS-hi special has been rescheduled to June 20 (Sun) 22:45-0:15 Ad

Just bought the new D4 White (Orca) for my wife. It's actually quite nice (nicer in real than in the picture) and very wearable as a normal watch. Suunto - The Suunto D4 dive computer now in white

Not actually during a dive, but the other day I found a wedding ring on the beach where we were gearing up. Turned out that someone in our group lost it on that beach there a few months earlier. What are the odds.

+1 on Diving Log. I use it to read from my D4, although I find that somehow important in Suunto's dive manager and then importing to Diving Log is quicker. Diving Log also works great with the iPhone app "Divelog". On the diving site I quickly log on my iPhone and make some notes about the...

I see you already purchased an Asus, but for reference: You might also want to look at the ThinkPad X100e, very small (11.6" screen) but the same sturdiness/robustness as classic ThinkPads, very affordable (about 450usd~), and they come in black ;) Can't post links yet but Google "lenovo...
