Thanks, Going to Roatan next Saturday!!

Thank you so much DOC! Your breakdown of Roatan is much appreciated!

Hi ScubaBoards, I have done a ton of diving in the Philippines and I just bought tickets to dive in Roatan. I will be staying at the Xbalanque Resort which is on the west end. PADI has a lot of dive shops in that area. Any recommendations? I was looking at the Roatan Divers Dive Shop for now...

I stayed at Malapascua Exotic resort and there are no fresh water hotels on the island. And when then mean by brackish its basically salt water dude.

I went to malapascua and moalboal too. I liked Malapascua Exotic. it wasn't the chepest but I must say the rooms were nice and clean. This dive shop and bankas were great. Just realize that Malapascua doesn't have a desalinaziation plant on the island so they have salt water for there showers...

Hey Divers, I will be staying at the Mandarin Resort in Boracay at Station 2 next month. I was wondering if you could recommend a Dive shop and dive sites for this time of year. Also I will be going to the Mandala Spa for a massage (what your opinion of the place?). Does any one know how...

I have stayed at both locations. I didn't see children at either location, but I would have to say Malapascua would be a better choice. Its really is a better "family vacation" spot in my opinion. You won't be disappointed with either place when it comes to the diving. I feel Malapascua would be...

I would have to agree with Jlevine completely. I just spent a month in the Philpinnes. Being that it was my first time making arrangements States side is a monumental effort of time and emails. I had a travel agent who arranged my private trasportation and hotels, but I had the call or email the...

Hi, I just got back from both places. Malapascua has Monad Shoal with a Thresher Shark cleaning station. I did not see Threshers on Balacasag, but Bohol is beautiful diving, with great vis. There are currently Thresher sharks off of Pescador Island in Moalboal. They are hunting sardines that...

So there theoretical and and real world evidence. And they are not meeting up. All I know I am paying $10 a day for rental dive computer (in metric by way and I've never used Bar in my life) that truly bites because of some some battery mistake by Scubapro. This truly sucks.

Mabuhay!! From the Philippines!! I've been to Puerto Gallera, Malapascua, and now Moalboal (16 dives so far). Guess what!! My Uwatec Smart com "E8" on me this morning. So after all the opinions and official word from Scubapro my **** dies on me in the middle of my dive vacation. This will be the...

Thank Jax. That advice really helps.

Here is the official word from SCUBAPRO: Hi, thank you for inquiring about your Smart Com. At 67% you should be ok. The typical battery life on a Smart Com is 3-5 years leaning more towards the five years and often even longer depending on use. We do have a service center in Manila; the address...

Thank for the great answer. And yes I am the orginal owner with "batteries for life" card. I was just worried. I heard horror stories around the web saying that there computer battery life had just died on them around 50%. But from you insightfull response Pearldiver07 I can see the were...

My ScubaPro-Uwatec SMART (air/nitrox intergrated) Com battery says its about 67%. I've had it since 2007 (never replaced the battery) and i have about 30-35 dives planned for this trip to the philipinnes. Should I bring it in to get the battery replaced? And if there is a problem are there...
