Hi Sharkfilms, I dove my Dolphin SCR in Cocos April, 2006 and saw many groups of 40-50 hammerheads. They were all indifferent to divers and swam around us. I am disappointed to read that there are now more and more poachers fishing sharks in that area. It is in the Costa Rican national park...

Hi Josh and Andy, I have read extensive discussion on questioned usefulness of SCR training for a CCR student diver. I have no intension of repeating that here. I just want to present my case of Evolution CCR training after I had 100 dives with Dolphin SCR, which included pretty hard ones in...

Hi SFLDiver3445, My friend (Optima instructor) came back from Florida three days ago. He said the same thing. Maybe, Florida is now the world center of RB diving. On the other hand, I dove in Izu Peninsula near Tokyo last weekend and got to see no RB divers. Japan is way behind the trend...

Hi VzzzBx, Thank you for your advice, particularly about picking up hitchhikers. When I was on my way to Maria la Gorda in 2003, I got lost several times. I wish I had got your advice then!! I will get in touch with Casa-Cuba and see what they say.

Hi all, I am invited to give a talk in Havana, Cuba in November. I was there once in September, 2003 and dove OC in Maria la Gorda, which is located at the western tip of the island. At that time I chartered a car with a Cuban driver for my transportation between Havana Airport and Maria la...

Hi snorkelcorey, I am a physician practicing medicine in the State of California and Japan. I am also a PADI divemaster diving a Draeger's Dolphin rebreather. Thus, I think I am qualified to answer your questions. You have tubes in your ears probably because you have got chronic exudative...

yes, it is. no, it is not too late. actually, there are a lot of tourists who get to naha airport late at night (9-10 pm) and then head towards north by taxi. i would recomemnt my good old friend mr tochigi. he is a PADI instructor ahd has worked in ishigaki over ten years. he started...

晩上好 bearteacher tw, ishigaki is my favorite place, and so i go there three or four times a year. october is a good month to dive ishigaki in, provided that you are lucky enough to sneak in in the absence of typhoons. last year we had them almost every weekend in...
