How's the area after the quakes? Hope no one got hurt.

I was pretty sure it was. Still seems like a group you might want to ask though. I've considered getting a shirt like that for here. I'm pretty sure I'd only be able to wear it in Sharm though :D

Why not check out this thread: Vintage Double Hose :: View topic - The 25th Anniversary Golden Royal Aqua Master 1968 While I can't judge their knowledge, they appear enthusiastic. One day, I expect to see you to be listed in the Asia Divers newsletter wearing vintage WW2 US Navy hookah gear. :D

How many people dive with signaling devices? Lights during night-dives are a given. What do you dive with that could be used if you got swept away by current or if the boat left?

A BP/w is a BC. I understand the hesitancy, I had the same before I switched. I'd strongly encourage yo you call around and see if there are any technical dive shops in your area that will rent you a BP/w. You could also go down to the regional forum. You might find directions to some shops...

Exactly my point. I was imprecise, I should have said that they don't make any in the same price range as the D40, but I feel that primes are a very useful type of lens and the fact that you have to pay twice the cost of the camera to get the lowest cost AF-S prime is a fatal flaw. The biggest...

Those are some big deco bottles! :eyebrow:

While the 40 looks appealing, realize that there aren't any Nikon prime lenses with built-in autofocus motors.

He said he called, as opposed to sending it in, and they refused to do any sort of repair. Agreed. If the bladder can be easily removed, that would be best. He said there wasn't a zipper and since I exclusively dive with a BP/w when given the choice, my knowledge of the builds of jacket...

I've used a "high-speed" xD card on a new Olympus camera and a CF card on a new Canon. The xD is the ONLY thing I dislike about the Oly. The Oly is a nice camera except that the xD really stinks when it comes to file transfer times. I've compared the xD to an SD card (two point & shoot cameras...

He went on about how he wouldn't use a damaged BC anyway. I honestly hope that he figures out what was so funny about his comment, I'd hate to think of anyone deliberately filling their BC at depth in warm waters. Good to know about repair kits. I've not had to fix a puncture so I did some...

Sorry, I left out that the discussion drew out that the BC had an inner bladder. IMO, it's just a matter of cutting a slit in the outer covering, patching the hole in the inner bladder then sewing up the small slit.

This weekend, I was diving with a group of people I had never gone diving with before. One evening, I'm talking to this guy, an avowed warm-water weeny, and he's saying how much he hates throwing money away on dive gear. Turns out he's referring to a relatively new BC he bought. A local was...

Just read the story about the explosion at Glorietta 2.

My employer is about to send me to Sharm for a few days so I guess things could be worse :D

Happy birthday!

I wonder if they'll have some native species from Manila Bay

You have done a good job, and PG looks great!

I have a set I bought last year in Japan and love them. The thing I disliked most about the standard Jetfin design is how shallow the foot pocket is. The pocket barely comes the area where my arch and heel meet. I always felt I was pushing more with my foot than I was with my leg. The Revo...
