We had Doug Toth over here some time back with a (then) new pair of paddle fins he said he was field testing. They're probably out in the market by now but I still haven't seen them being used by our recent guests. They had really tall side rails which made them stand out from other fins. Anyone...

Hi! Does anybody know anybody who's trying to get rid of a Scubapro GO BCD, size M? Used is fine as long as it's in good condition. Thanks! -marku

The dive resort I work for offers trips to a couple of destinations located up in the mountains with elevations anywhere from 300-500 meters. We won't allow guests to do those trips if he/she has already gone diving on the same day (e.g. dive in the morning, go up to the mountains in the...

If a plan holder is "only" Open Water certified, will he still be covered even if he/she had a diving accident in >18m of water? Am asking because we occasionally get divers who only have OW certifications but have several hundred dives under their weightbelts...

Was diving around Alegre Beach Resort (in Sogod, Cebu; ~85kms North of Cebu City) last week and saw flashlight fish in their house reef on a night dive for the first time. Amazing. Must've spent nearly 10 minutes with our lights off just staring at the swirling school of flashlight fishes...

Good day. I was diagnosed with pulmonary tubercolosis (Koch's pulmonary infection) on January of this year. After 2 months of treatment (4 tabs of Myrin-P a day), I tested negative on my sputum test and decided to go back to diving. I work as a divemaster and dive 2 to 3 dives a day, 6 days a...

Hello! A couple of divers who have been to Lembeh and have seen the infamous Rhinopias told me that there is a very good chance of it being in any of the sites in my locale (Dumaguete, Central Philippines). I heard they're dreadfully difficult to spot, so I guess I need all the help I can...
