    2 HK divers die in Cebu

    Jan, Vlad, experinced, tech certed probably felt no need for guide. Instructor that was there could have been for other divers - 6 in group. Gombassa, to dive immediately to 40 meters would cause narcosis, so not looking at guages would not be out of the question. No info on other diver...

    Effects of long term pressure

    I read in an article at least 3 years ago now (Immersed maybe) about the effects on long term satueration divers who have worked for 2 or more years, were having lesions on/in their brain tissue found. The folks in the study had not seemed to have short/long term memory loss as of yet if I...

    Chuuk on a budget

    I stayed on Moen for 2 months diving and the loose dogs were more a problem when out at night than the locals but anything can happen... anywhere. Try the Kurassa Apts., you could get monthly and I believe weekly deals, they were listed in the lonely planet.

    Chuuk, Yap or Palau

    Chuuk dive sites are all 10-20min boat ride using shore based charters unless you are doing reef or the destroyer at the north end and that is not to much longer, Palau boat times are what Rick has said but is the best of both worlds reef and wreck. But be warned that folks are there to dive the...

    What To Do On Truk/chuuk

    When I was there the liveaboards did not do the deep wrecks because of the # of dives per day, but this might have changed. I rented an apartment and was there for 2 months of beautiful diving. The island is only 7 square miles so one can walk pretty much everywhere... Mt. Tonaachau is a good...

    caves in Vietnam ?????

    I was there in 96 and there was no cave diving there that I could find. The wrecks in Na Trang could be gotten to but the price the permit folks wanted was crazy and very arbitrary. Depending on who you talked to in office the price was different. There where no shops in the north end of the...

    Caves in Roatan??

    Hey, break a fin in florida... Did not hear of any caves when I was there but was not really looking! I would have to say the diving is set up for recreational/tourist type diving. The closest I found to caves was Spooky channel which is really a cut in the reef that is attached at the top or...

    Creepy things found diving

    Ya, your right, sorry... I lowered myself to his level by name calling. But by giving an individual no respect because of his/her countries gov't is exactly the attitude of terrorists, and his statement.

    Do Underwater Cities Exist???

    Go to Cornwall Ontario just west of Quebec border. Not sure if charters do these sites from your side of the border. When the St. Lawrence seaway was deepened they sunk ~11 towns I believe. The Fire dept in the area and rescue services used the towns to train in worst case scenarios so not alot...

    Shipwrecks in Philippine Waters

    The wrecks themselves are great!! But they have been fairly well picked over/salvaged. First by the Japanese after they were sunk, then I'm sure the americans went through them. If I remember correctly it was about 30 years ago when a salveger went through and took engines and any props that...
