The Samui Times and the writer itself have a bad taste in the mouth for many living in Thailand. Simply because the writer seems to have a really fond hatred of the islands he once lived and now spends his time writing article after article in hopes of ruining tourism for the island. Most...

Sadly, probably not. The instructor is still working, albeit on another island, for the same dive center. Having working on this island I have seen their quality of instructors at this particular dive centre. Most of them having gone the 0 to hero route not in a good way. Do we know if it was...

From what I've heard the investigation is closed. If there ever was one by SSI.... They make way too much money off this dive center....

Now that I see it is public... Murió una argentina en Tailandia durante un bautismo de buceo Sorry, most of the articles are in Spanish. There is no English translation I can find yet. In short, the death of a 39-year-old Argentinian during a Try Dive at Koh Tao in Thailand. It is said she...

It seems like local law enforcement has done there part, if you can call it that.. money makes things happen in this part of the world. I also thought the dive agency involved should be doing an investigation..haven't heard a confirmation on this. But good to know those are the relavant steps.

No. It happened where I use to live, so I have only heard from sources there. I am just curious as to what SHOULD be happening from the certifying agency, like SSI.

I hope this is an appropriate place to post this. Based on a situation that has happened recently, I am just wondering the procedures and things that would normally happen to a dive centre in the event of such an accident. A woman goes missing on the second dive of a "Try Dive" (SSI). She is...

I tried to register my i450T on the Aqualung website, kept getting messages that the serial number I input does not exist. So I contact Aqualung by email, and received the reply that it was not registering the serial number because I bought it in Thailand and their warranty policy is offered on...

Hey guys, looking to buy the i450 now, but trying to find info on whether you can check your dive profiles on the actual dive computer? I know you can download it to your computer but can you see it on the dive computer itself?

I have already combed through as many of the old posts regarding these two computers as I could find. And I've read various reviews on both, but I am still undecided. I am looking to upgrade to a new computer, I'm a dive instructor and I've been using the Suunto Zoop for the past 3 years. No...

I am looking into buying a used Apeks regulator set. First and second stage, as well as an octopus and pressure/depth guage. I am really not sure of the model, as there is nothing obvious on this reg, such as on the new ones. I put a deposit so I could take the reg for a test dive, but before...

Currently looking at the Cressi Aquaride Elite or the Cressi Aquapro 5... any reviews on those two? Or something more basic I should be looking at?

I'm currently working in Thailand, and no shops that I know of here require certain brands. So that is not too much of a concern. Maybe in the future when working in Canada, but for now I'm open to anything really. My friend did tell me he rarely uses his integrated pockets now that he's an...

I'm most comfortable with a jacket style BC, as that is basically all I use. I've done almost all of my DM training and work with the basic dive shop BCs, like the simple Aqualung one. I've tested a few of my friends, such as the Oceanic Hera, and absolutely loved it. Unfortanutely that is out...

Hey all, I am currently looking into buying my first BCD. I've been working as a DM for the past few months, and have just been using my dive shops equipment, but I'm hoping to freelance at other schools during low season here, so I'm trying to find my own BCD. I've been reading numerous...

True... Just reading all the reviews and whatnot and learning what problems others have had, makes me a tad paranoid! But for the most part even if there is a defect such as it saying you're diving while you're not or such, it will still be usable and I could send it in when I return home...

I am still debating between these two computers, but I was wondering... I was planning on purchasing the computer a month before I leave so I can go through the manual and get to know the computer and whatnot. The only thing is that I will not have an opportunity to dive with it until I am out...

The more I look the more I'm considering buying while I'm there... get some more input from DM's and instructors might be my best bet! Will keep looking around here in the meantime though! Thanks everyone!

Would you guys recommend travel fins, such as the Aqua Lung Hot Shots, even though I will be pretty stationary while doing my DMT? Or may it be more worth it to bring larger, non-travel fins? I haven't purchased any fins yet, (I am looking into the Scuba Pro Jet Sport and the Aqua Lung...

Hey guys, I think I've finally narrowed my choice down to the Canon powershot S110. So I've been reading a lot of articles and whatnot for use as an underwater camera, and a few have mentioned problems with the Ikelite housing. Granted most of these that I've seen are from back in 2012, but I'm...
