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 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...

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...

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...

A friend suggested I look into one of the NEX series of cameras, as I'm looking at getting into underwater photography, and although I don't wanna spend too much, I do want something I can grow with. So, I've been looking at the Nex-3 or the Nex-5. I haven't been able to find too many housings...

Hey guys, I'm heading off to Asia for a few months. I'm not taking too much gear, just the basics. Mask, fins, computer and camera. The mask, computer and camera with be in my carry-on, but I'm not too sure what to do with my fins. I will only be travelling with a 75 L backpack and a carry-on...

I'm new to underwater photography. My first go at it was with a SeaLife Mini, which I found to be incredibly awful, due to not being able to change any settings, set white balance or anything! I'm working on my photography skills on land with a Canon Rebel, but have no desire to risk taking that...

Okay. I have narrowed my selection down to two possible options. This will be my first dive computer purchase, which I will be using while I do my Dive Master Training. I've priced them to only be about $100 in difference, so that is not too much of a concern for me. Just wondering if anyone...

Has anyone used or have any reviews of the Nikon L26 used underwater with the Ikelite Housing? Nikon L26 Underwater Camera and Housing by Ikelite A local dive shop has both (camera and housing) on for a pretty decent price right now. I'm not looking for the best of the best. But I do want...

I looking into finally purchasing some of my own equipment and I've found a few different brands I like but I am just wanting a few opinions!! A one window mask or a two window mask? I have only every used a 2 window mask, and having worn glasses I'm used to the piece in the middle, but I tried...

I currently have a SeaLife Mini 2 which I used for about 3 months of diving. It was alright, compared to the photos some friends of mine got using just a GoPro, I'm quite disappointed with mine. I've had a Canon Rebel for about a year now, and I'm still learning all about it. So I'm not looking...

I can't recall the name of it, but it's a dive shop in Mae Haad, close to the pier. I was just wondering if anyone knows whether equipment is actually cheaper there, as opposed to Canada/USA? I didn't think to check prices out when I was there, but I am looking to purchase some equipment, but I...

I am looking to purchase my first dive computer in the next couple of months. I want it specifically as I am planning to start my Dive Master training in the summer. I had the Suunto d4i in my mind, probably from all the fancy adverts, but then I visited a local dive shop and was told it was a...
