We are still getting nearly daily sightings of HammerHeads at out 'The Magnet', and the currents have not been too bad. Usually sightings taper off around October but at this time they are still going strong, along with Eagle and Mobula rays at Gild Saran. Water temp is from around 24 to 26...

Any good places to buy wetsuits in Bangkok, suggestions? THanks

Some great diving here at the moment, Sekatong being more relaxed with warmer water 26 to 27 C. and visibility is in the 12 to 25 meter range. Daily sighting of sharks, turtles, rays and coral is in excellent shape. Got a chance to dive Belongas Bay yesterday 'the big daddy' down here, with...

Yesterday in our dive shop, I asked the boss (who is training 2 DMT's) if they have done their equipment exchange yet???? I got several odd looks by the other instructors who took me into the office and told me in private, 'hey it's a surprise' they don't know they are are doing it". I looked...

I have read through many threads here, and the sticky above. Would just like more opinions. When I do instruct I'm in a warm tropical area, constantly in the water (battery issues) and far away from service techs. Don't need AI, Compass either. Just need something reliable and...

Hey everyone, been a while since I have flown domestically in PI with scuba gear, as usual a cheap promo airfare suddenly becomes 2 or 3 times more expensive with extra weight, can anyone clue me in on any deals or sports packages with some of the local airlines. I see Cebu Pacific has some...

Just returned from a liveaboard overseas. At the end of the 3rd day of the trip and after the 12th dive (4 dives a day), a fellow diver calmly told me, he was not feeling well and was experiencing tingling over his hands and legs and on both sides of the body. I was immediately concerned and...

Just waking up to some grim news with regards to Super Ferry # 9, let's hope for the best!

Happy Birthday Chris, I was going to have the T'boli sisters jump out of a cake for you, but JR. DM advised me it might not be a good idea:rofl3: All the best!

These photos were taking last week on our way out to Tinoto Point for a couple of dives with me mates, my sources tell me these sharks are caught by long lining, between PI and Indo. It's also alleged that dolphins are used as bait. Look closely you can see where the fin has been removed!

Just finished doing my DM here in Puerto Galera, Philippines. It took about 4 1/2 weeks or about one month, just about every day we did something with only a few days of breaks due to weather. Feels good to be done, quite a course. Thanks to everyone for their insight and help, it made the...

My last test, any thoughts, I feel pretty comfortable with the eRDP, as they say the wheel is not required anymore. So other than the tables, I guess I should just read the Encyclopedia chapter on Deco and theory, any other thoughts!

I have watched this at least 3 or more times now, would enjoy to hear from others on it's significance in the course itself? I found it pretty good, would like to know just 'how important it is' for your final exams?

I am currently studying for my DM and am curious as to whether everybody read the "Encyclopedia of Diving" 'page to page' or what. Don't get me wrong some parts of it I find fascinating and can't put down, while other parts seem rather mundane. Would be interested in what others have to say...

I have it narrowed down to either the Akona Evolution or the Akona Progression, after about 4 years of traveling with the Akona 144 (Incredible Hulk) it has been great, but it's weight factor is becoming an issue with the airlines. For anyone who has any experience with these bags please let...

After spending our week in Coz, we will take the ferry over to Playa and rent a car for several days down to Tulum and such. Question: Can anyone recommend a car agency that is near the ferry port in Playa and if not near, an outfit that will pick us up and take us to a Hertz or Budget? I...
