    Bauer OR Coltri!?

    Coltri has a far better solution than the MCH13/16 range. Namely the MCH22. With pressure lubrication and 4 cylinders, your looking at far better performance and life span. I don't know how it comes out of it compared to Bauer regarding price. But at least look into it.The MCH16 runs a bit...

    Diving with Asthma

    To me diving with asthma is a big no-no. Sure, one can "have it under control", but there's no way you can have any arising situation 60ft below under control. The extremly dry air in a tank may trigger asthma itself. And if not, a stress situation under water could certainly tip it over for...

    Which Apeks 1st stage for both single and doubles?

    I dive single tanks on rare occasions, WBH only (allergic to anything else...). When I do I use DS4+XTX50 with the regular Hogarthian set up. It works just fine. The DS4 is also just fine on my large doubles (2x12L steel) and hose routing works ok. So if you really want to bother with...

    Which countries steal most of diving tourism?

    International? I'd be surprised if you'd find much else than Mexico + Carribean area. This is mostly a US board. But since I'm here I would like to add Egypt and Thailand. These are the most popular diving destinations for most Europeans, outside of Europe that is.

    Using a regulator in cold water.

    Hello from Norway! We've solved this discussion once and for all, at least here. You simply won't find any warm water regs sold here. At least not in any serious shop. and if you do, at least expect them to be thoroughly described as "southern holiday regs". Anyways, the word around here is...

    Breaking news from the whale wars

    Just a thought, if my numbers are right we are taking out something like 0,5-1% of the total mink whale population of the North Atlantic every year. They are numerous up here, perhaps already more than the ocean can support.

    Breaking news from the whale wars

    No. You'd have to come over. I have some in my freezer. I also have some 80 lbs of moose, a whole deer I shot least year, 110 large scallops I picked from the ocean floor, some deliscious monk fish is still left, and of course a lot of wild mushrooms and berries we pick every fall. Not quite the...

    Breaking news from the whale wars

    Vladimir is thinking of the Antarctic Treaty System where Norway Also has a large claim in it. I was referring to the Bouvet Island, which is not part of this treaty and not disputed as far as I know.

    Breaking news from the whale wars

    Up until the 60's when whaling was stopped all together, we (Norway) had larger boats going all the way to the Antarctic. We still have land down there that belong to us. Today's catches are mostly caught in our own local waters, or at least no further than Greenland. They use smaller boats...
