We're working on a homemade monofin bolted/epoxied onto a regular fin, to see if this will boost finning speed and yet not wear me out during dives. Once this setup works, it will still have to be adjusted depending on the type of disability and requirements of other users. As if 1-leg...

Ellen, when will you bring in the Force Fin Launch Pad System?

Fluid Surf is the Habagat rashie brand, though fit depends on your body type and musculature or lack of... Was just trying a Billabong rashie in Podium, fit is so much better. Jag, who's Gordon and do you have a contact # or diveshop? Interested in the .5mm neoprene leg protection...

Aside from your scary nekkid dancing avatar, an answer to your question: Habagat makes passable multi-color rashguards (UV protection rating printed on the sleeves) about Php900, spotted in Bombproof in Robinsons Galleria or that camping shop around corner from National Bookstore/Papemelroti in...

Then give us a better idea of your reserve price (think ebay for this definition).

Bombproof in Robinsons Galleria has some colorful multi-panel lycra FluidSurf Philippines rashguards, Php900 for the long sleeve version. The arms are stamped UV protection, I am assuming the rest of the rashie is UV proof also. Some short sleeve versions also available. Habagat in Megamall...

What sub-forum name? Am not viewing the boards often, so did I miss anything important? Thought this thread was about a kayak for sale? :)

Brand new or 2nd hand, if 2nd hand, how old is this kayak and what is the condition of the parts and skin? Can I test drive this, where is the kayak currently located? How much? Please send me your email thru private message. Thanks! Cherrie

Wonderful!

"The idea came to me when a fire fight'n helicopter crew chief sat next to me on the last leg of a cross-country flight from Atlanta to Jacksonville in July. When he said the magic words, "Buckets of water", I near sucombed to Oxygen Narcosis." http://www.firediving.com/firenews.html ROFL!

I was doing a cave dive in Coron last June. Thought I saw an footprint of a dino-like thing in the sand bank and couldn't get to my pal with the UW cam on time to get a photo. Am sure I was NOT getting narc'd, wasn't deep, but in that odd light ...hmmm... Anyway, I kind of hate finning about in...

Read up on the Sea Quest Passport - "The Passport is one of the lightest BCs in the group, and it has almost no inherent buoyancy." http://www.scubadiving.com/gear/buoyancy_compensators/traveling_light/3/

If you guys need a mermaid (in costume, of course) in the tank, I'll volunteer! Haha! Just don't expect UW ballet stuff, I'm not trained for that. Any of the ladies wanna join me as mermaid? Likewise, I think it'll be good to invite the handicapped to try out scuba (separate pool session, with...

There would be consternation among the expat Malay crew if they found out their new dive"costume" would turn them into "orang minyak". :)

If the boat is pitching from rolling waves, I prefer to toss my inflated BC and tank/reg overboard then jump in after, don the gear partially in the water, then have my weight belt handed to me before I close the BC. On a recent dive, I tossed the rig overboard and was preparing to jump off...

Is seeing a remora always an indicator a shark's in the area? there was a hopeful remora keeping pace with us in a dive in Coron.

Sharks die in agony by drowning and bloodloss after their fins are chopped off and they are tossed back into the ocean. Add to the list of restaurants in the Philippines who serve sharks fin. That way, by not eating or patronizing the restaurant (as a protest) will hopefully help cut down...

Talk to these people for Pandan Island: http://www.asiaventureservices.com/ecotour.html It's run by some french guys, was there close to 15 years ago, it was pretty quiet. The resort faces a bit more south east (based on the white sand beach, rest of terrain is limestone/rocky), so its back...

We ended up wreck diving in Coron, with a few wall and reef dives. I am going thru the photos (taken by Thom Jenkins) while carefully trying to color correct what can be saved, trying to color match from memory or visual references for accuracy. Take a look at the first 2 photos, the 2nd is...
